Hi all! This is a bit of a long shot, but nonetheless, here's my December/January want list.  I'm mostly looking for rare ponies, but I'm not a picky collector. Symbol rubs, haircuts, small marks, spots, and even chew marks are usually OK. Right now, I'm looking for flawed/cheaper rare ponies. I'll pay more if the pony is especially rare/desirable, of course, but I'm mostly looking for ponies under $50, at present. If you've got a pony on my list, please let me know what price you'd like to get for her! If you've got more than one, that's even better. I can also do trades. Everything on my Bonanza sales page ( http://www.bonanza.com/booths/ponylandpress) is up for trade. I also have a couple of MIP mail-order CP ponies, and several different (loose) Megan/Sundance sets that aren't listed on the sales page yet. Here's my want list: Want List NirvanasALL OF THEM. Mainly, right now, I'm looking for all kinds of Argentinean variants (babies especially). European PoniesWhite Baby Pony Baby Bridesmaid Baby Fun n' Games Baby Ribbons n' Hearts Cascade Love Letter Patch Bon Bon Highlights (Great Hair Pony) Nurse Tenderheart Nurse Sweetheart Baby Cuddles (Surprise Newborn) Baby Snoozy (Surprise Newborn) Baby Honeycomb Baby Cherries Jubilee Baby Buttons NBBE Baby Heart Throb More Expensive/Rare Euro Ponies (will pay more for these  ) Baby Diamond Baby Licorice Baby Sapphire Babies Splish, Splash, Splosh Baby Würfelchen (blue Nestäckchen baby) Baby Schlummerlein (yellow Nestäckchen baby) Raindrop Nightlight Ice Crystal (wanted in good condition -- will pay more!)

Interested in the Lil Litters backcard and Fizzys as well. Is the price different here vs bonanza? Sent you a PM.

Sometimes they turn up. I always check the toy section just to make sure, even though they usually only have G3 and G4 ponies. Last year my sister found two -- a flutter pony (Lily) and a pony pal (Woolly the Lamb), at two different Goodwill stores. I'm guessing that even the stores that sort through their toys might not recognize the more unusual-looking ponies (or lambs, in this case) as real MLP items.

Billy bookcases are fantastic if you have a lot of ponies to display. I do think the Detolf cases are prettier, and also sturdier -- but the Billy cases are cheaper and will hold a lot more ponies, and it's easy to add more shelves to them, and adjust the height. And they do look nice if you have two or three of them together, especially with the corner pieces. Our whole pony room is full of them, and I think they work very well. (Shadowlark, I love the idea of drilling more holes to add more shelves! I might do the same, since right now our shelves still need a lot more risers so the ponies in back won't be hidden...) visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hi all! Just a quick update from Ponyland Press. We finally got around to putting up a page for UK Pony Comics, and figured you might enjoy checking them out. So far we've got pictures of 70+ different covers, and we've scanned in 37 complete 16-page comics, which you can flip through as PDF files. We still need a lot more of them, but at least it's a start! There's tons of fun stuff inside -- stories and pictures and games and old MLP advertisements. For example... visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login...And the rest are here: Ponyland Press: UK Pony Comics.

Sorry, she actually sold already.  I've updated the post and deleted all the sold ponies now. I still need to take photos and add some more ponies (but no Goldilocks, alas)...

I'm keeping a list of our sold/traded ponies in this post. DABBLE -- TRADEDSpoiler Condition: Very Good / Excellent Dabble is in beautiful condition, but she does have some minor flaws, so please read below and check the photos! Symbols: Symbols and eyes are bright and clear. Blush might be somewhat faded (it's hard to tell). Hair: Her hair is gorgeous, silky, and uncut. Like most other Dabbles, however, she has no noticeable trace of green left in the middle strip of her mane -- it's simply striped purple and white. Body: Dabble's main flaw is that, at least compared to the Dabble in my personal collection, she seems to be slightly yellowed. (You can see a comparison below.) She also has a few small, very light marks on her body. One is near her display-side eye (almost impossible to see). Another is near her tail on her non-display side (very light, but you can see it in the NDS symbol photo below), and there are a couple of light marks on her NDS shoulder/leg. They may all be removable -- I've only washed her gently with dishsoap and water. Photos: To me, this Dabble looks almost perfect on display, but again, I'm not a very picky collector, so its possible that I've missed something. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginSymbols and marks: Display-side symbol looks perfect: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginSlight mark below tail on NDS side: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginSlight body marks (maybe removable) on NDS shoulder and leg: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginColor comparison:The one for sale is in the foreground. The one from my collection, in the background, has lighter purple hair, but her body seems a little more pink/lavender toned. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login Spoiler Condition: Poor / Play Condition Sunburst has a number of flaws, but we really like him, and have been hesitating about selling/trading him even though we already have one in our collection. We're hoping he'll find a home where he'll be appreciated despite his flaws (and not customized!). If you're interested in him, feel free to ask questions or request more photos. Symbols: Symbols are good, with some very slight rubbing on the display side. Eyes are clear and bright. Freckles slightly rubbed on display side, but all still visible. Hair: Tail has been cut to about 3½ inches. Other than that, his hair is silky and smooth. His mane is perfect. Body: Sunburst has pale brownish cancer spots all over his body. He has been treated, and should not get any more spots, but he already has quite a few. His display side still looks pretty good (the spots are mostly quite light), but he has a number of darker spots around his neck on his non-display side. There are also a couple of bluish marks on his NDS front leg. Because he’s been cancer treated, Sunburst’s head has been partly removed. It is still glued in place, but the glue is not sealed all the way around.

Symbols: Excellent. Symbols, eyes, and blush are perfect. Hair: Silky and uncut. Curls beautifully. Body: There's a soft pink mark, almost like blush, on her display-side rear leg. Otherwise she looks excellent -- no other marks or flaws. Photos: visitors can't see pics , please register or login Spoiler Lovely overall. A couple of very tiny body marks, a slight scratch on the display-side eye, and a blush rub on the non-display side cheek. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginSpoiler Very good, except for a symbol scratch on display side. Hair, eyes, and body are otherwise good, with one or two minor marks. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginSpoiler Excellent condition, except that her hair is sort of... crinkly? It looks like it may be in original curls, and it's still rather soft, but not smooth. It looks like it would get frizzy if it were brushed out. The ringlets are slightly crimped in the middle of the mane, where a ribbon was tied. Her symbols, eyes, and body are all bright and clear, with no signs of wear. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginPrincess Starburst – Appears a bit dingy, with some small marks.

I just bought a quite nice Spanish Tex for $200 a couple of months ago -- had no idea what he was worth, so I'm glad to hear he was in the right price range. I've never seen his hat, though!

Hi Sochy. I think the price for Dabble sort of varies, but she's always a bit expensive. The price check archives here on the Arena say she's worth around $100. I've seen her go for as little as $50-$60, but lately on eBay she seems to be mostly selling for more like $150-$200. I think around $100 is fair for a trade, though -- or maybe a little less, since this one has some flaws.

And now onward to... Tons of G1 Ponies (and Stuff) For Trade!We've got around 150 G1 ponies up for sale/trade, as well as some MOC Petites, a Dream Beauty, a few merchandise things, a porcelain Lickety Split, and some other 80s toys.  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginEverything is up on our Bonanza page, here: http://www.bonanza.com/booths/ponylandpress. (Note that some of the prices in our shop are purposely inflated because we'd rather trade than sell. If you see something you like, let us know!) What We'll Trade ForThere aren't many common ponies that we still need, so we're mostly hoping to trade for things like G1 merchandise and accessories, as well as rarer stuff like European ponies or MOC ponies. In particular, we're looking for: - G1 merchandise (coloring books, clocks, stamps, party favors, placemats, stickers, etc.)
- G1 accessories (playset pieces, puffy stickers, hair clips, pony wear, brushes, UK dragons...)

We also need "Misty" from the Mane Delights Beauty Shoppe set. MerchandiseThis list would be endless. We like all kinds of G1 merchandise, so if you have something you want to trade, let us know! AccessoriesThis would also be a really long list. We need a lot of accessories! Right now we're especially looking for a few things from the Show Stable (Brandy the dog, the white bed, the felt blanket, the yellow bar for the jump posts, one green shelf, and the yellow curry-comb). But there are a lot of other accessories we need, from both playsets and individual ponies, so just send pics of whatever you've got, if you want to trade.

Is there a difference in the going price between big-symbol and small-symbol Raindrop, or are they worth pretty much the same thing? Is one of them more desirable than the other?
