Your last g1 find in "the wild"?

[Kyubey]

Found Snuzzle, Lemondrop, Sprinkles and 2 Cotton Candies on a local flea market last weekend for a dollar each. Lemondrop and one of the Cotton Candies are rather baity, but the others are in good condition
Not too shabby for my first hunt in many years

My first birth flower pony!  I didn't have baby ribbon either.  Got all three for $7.

I just found these today at a flea market.

I can't even really remember actually, was probably a bootfair find as that's the only place I find G1s in the wild but I don't get to go to my local bootfair much anymore if all due to being busy on a Sunday.

I think the last G1 I remember getting from a charity shop was a Pony Bride. Like it was in the one shop that out of all of them was the only one that ever seems to get ponies.

I found (or rather my daughter spotted it) a NSS Wind Whistler at a boot sale a couple of weeks ago she's not in the best condition but hey, the fact we found a G1 was amazing. I haven't found one for years lol.

I got a baby Surprise at a garage sale back in the '90s.  It was a church garage sale, my dad was the youth pastor at the time. Someone donated a huge box of ponies for the sale. I squealed in delight when I discovered the box and begged my mom for us to pay for the box because I really wanted them all.hehe.  But, my mom said no, and told me, "you can just buy the leftovers after it's over because the box is for the church sale" ..Naturally, I was bummed but eventually agreed. So afterwards, I looked into the box and only the baby remained!  Later, I realized the reason no one wanted her was because of tail rust.. They told me I could have her for free..

After all these years, I still have her, and she recently underwent restoration work to become rust free!

I have found fakies in the wild at a Goodwill about a month ago but didn't get them...Still waiting for my "pony box.!"

Yesterday at a flea market I found Ringlet, Lickety-Split and a Yum Yum with gorgeous pink hair!!

Lickety-Split was missing from my collection and I had always loved her so I was happy to have finally found her but when I opened her (the seller packed all of the ponies in see-through plastic) I discovered she had what appeared to be mold on her tail and she is suffering from tail rust quite badly My mom told me to throw her away because of the mold but it was only on her tail so I decided to clean her instead. I finally had Lickety-Split who I had always wanted and I wasn't planning on letting her go that easily. And since the mold was only on her tail and not on the body itself I figured she'd be okay so I cleaned her up. Her hair is still really frizzy and she is still suffering from tail rust so I will be rehairing her eventually as soon as I can get my hands on some hair.

I also found a bunch of G2's and a few G3's

Show Stable with Ringlets, Sky Rocket, Baby Glider and Bouquet a summer or two back. One of my only G1 finds on adult age and definitely the best!

[buddyboymama]

Wow! Maybe I should start actively looking for ponies on a regular basis if this is what is out there. The only G1 I've ever found in the wild was a Baby Surprise with no tail and a haircut. That was during my first pregnancy, so ... over 3 years ago.

Hollywood at a fleamarket last friday. I have two of her so almost left her but so rare I find a G1 anymore and she is in better shape than mine!

[ponycake]

Hollywood is like $30 isn't she? I'm glad you didn't pass her up!

I found Baby Fleecy in a bag at savers for 2$ about three months ago. It was exciting I love finding vintage toys.

Pretty much! I am actually supposed to trade or sell to the guy who has a small store at my local flea market but I get so attached to a pony that its rare I ever do it. I moved into a smaller place and said I would and still haven't! So I end up buying off him still at times. Always say I am going through boxes I have packed but have yet to do it!

 This flea market I went to last friday (Rogers if thats anywhere near you? see in ohio) is very hit and miss. I got lucky once and walked out with multiple bags of ponys and many I did not yet have. But I will go multiple times and not get anything but the amazing amish made doughnuts and its a two hour drive from home. Lot of neat stuff there though.

  Now the one close to me(Jamies) that I can always find ponys but leave them for other people, has not had a pony I need for a long time. But then again its getting down to the rares I need and I dont do ebay. I also dont wake up nearly early enough on the weekends anymore!
