G1 Haul from work!

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

Hello everyone! I've got my first MLP collection additions of the year! I work at a thrift store of sorts, though not one that generally takes things like clothes or toys. That being said, today toward the end of my shift (maybe about two hours before I was scheduled to clock off), a lady donated a lot of houseware items. Things like a cute set of dishes, some books (dishes and books both being things we do generally take), but also some older toys, including a decent number of G1 MLP (plus a fakie and a handful of G3.5s). People at work know I collect toys and specifically MLP since I've talked about it before, so they accepted them for me. I bought all of the ponies I didn't already have, plus a gross looking flat foot Cotton Candy just to clean her up even though I had one already. Included among them was also a Moondreamers toy, Roary.

Here they are! My manager priced them for me (we obviously cannot price items we intend to buy, leadership positions have to). Prices ranged from $2 for the gross Cotton Candy to $7 for Mimic, most were $3 or $5 depending on size. And yes, I did show her how much Mimic goes for.

I have given them a pony spa but they're still drying. I removed the heads of some whose heads seemed easy to remove to let them dry more effectively. I will post nice post-spa photos of everybody tomorrow, for now here's post-spa Mimic since she's obviously the star of the show.

It is! Though I don't think I would want to work at a Goodwill or similar one whee they have all sorts of rules for when employees can buy stuff lol. Working at the one I do not normally taking toys is a blessing on the wallet, too. I buy stuff from work sometimes but not constantly. We take furniture and I've bought a few furniture pieces for my room there.

Congrats! That is a really awesome haul!

OMG you got Mimic! That's so cool! Once upon a time I also worked at a thrift store that let us get first dibs on items... it was pretty awesome 

Spoiler

on one of my off days someone donated megan's place and it sold the same day. I only ever found out because some of the accessories got left behind and I asked about them

Oh noooo I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how gutted I'd have been if these came in on my day off and Mimic sold to a customer lol. Maybe then I would have been alerted via text of the ponies then lol.

Bubble Tea, Darn! Isn’t Megan’s Place the one with the turquoise, heart shaped grooming brush?  Or am
I thinking of a different playset?

Holy guacapony! I don't know much about prices, but I know from the forums that Mimic is rare and sought after. I did a look on eBay earlier last night and ... DEAL OF THE DECADE?!?!? I think you win it!!!!
