Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Help needed...Hallmark Rainbow Brite in NYC???
« on: February 29, 2016, 01:28:03 PM »
Hi I have been drooling over all the Hallmark Rainbow Brite stuff but I'm from the UK :( However I'm visiting NYC in early April and was hoping to find a Hallmark store in Manhatten that stocked the range so I can buy all the pretties!!  :biggrin: Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a Hallmark store in Manhatten that stocks Rainbow Brite? Thanks so much in advance for your help. Suggestions for pony shopping also much appreciated now TRU has closed   :(

I use a roll of good quality wrapping/gift wrap. I tack the top up against the wall and let it drape down onto the floor to give a smooth background appearance. I use a wall with good natural lighting. I either use the white side or the printed side depending on what effect I want :)

Pony clothing from UK Primark

2x sweaters
2x tshirts
Leggings (pj bottoms)
Jogging pants (pj bottoms)
Bag
Gusty knickers  :biggrin:

I think there is also a vest top with the G1 logo on it but I couldn't find it in the store I visited today

where do you live in the uk ?? all the primaks round aylesbury dont seem to have those things !

I got these in the Chester store. They didn't have the vest top though so I'm still on the hunt for that :)


As for the sizing issues, I had to get a size smaller in the pj top, a size bigger in blue tshirt, 2 sizes smaller in the darker grey sweater, a size smaller in the leggings pj bottoms and size bigger in the jogging pj bottoms! So glad I tried everything on before I bought it as I then had to go round changing sizes of everything before I bought them! Primark are useless for sizing!

I took my two daughters yesterday to our local Build a Bear for the My Little Pony launch. They both wore their MLP tshirt a and accessories and I'm glad we made the effort because our local store had really gone all out and had giant PP and RD to entertain the huge 45/60 min queue!!

My Little Pony launch at Build a Bear

We got both a PP and RD plushie and they are awesome! So big and such good quality! We had the MLP sound thing put in both of their hooves and the girls chose a tutu for RD and the sequinned dress for PP. I think I may have to go back and get the MLP tshirt and lilac skirt outfit though to go on another bear as it was sooo cute! And in all the excitement we forgot to get the brush so looks like another trip to BaB is in order!

I really hope they bring out some of the other characters as I would love an Applejack! Our local store was down to the last few PP yesterday afternoon and every person in the queue was buying at least one pony if not both!

Oooooh I love Applejack and would consider myself to have an army! Most of the G4 releases, playset variations, tinsel hair, blind bags, vinyl, fashion style etc I also have quite a few G1 Applejacks in different poses, baby and nirvanas :)

Here are some photos of my Applejacks, though not very recent I'm afraid.....

Pony Brag Arena / Re: Very overdue but awesome brag!
« on: February 16, 2013, 11:42:01 AM »
Thankyou so much everyone for all your wonderful comments! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to bring it all home!

When I went to collect it the lady had packaged it all up into boxes so I bundled it all in the car and headed home! I wish I'd taken a photo now of all the unopened brown boxes in my lounge. I didn't know where to start!

However it was almost 1am when I got home so I allowed myself to open one box and have a quick look through before forcing myself to go to bed. I didn't sleep all night so excited about all the boxes in the other room! I was back up at the crack of dawn to open everything up and it was better than any Christmas! There was so much more than what she had originally put in the list and everything was in great condition!

I think I've used all my pony luck up forever! :D

Pony Brag Arena / Very overdue but awesome brag!
« on: February 12, 2013, 01:50:19 PM »
**copied from my post on UK PonyCon forum**

I randomly got talking to a lady on Twitter back in September last year who happened to have some ponies for sale after finding her childhood collection in the loft. I obviously said I'd be very interested in buying them off her and asked her to send me a list of what she had. Well after that I never heard from her again and presumed she'd changed her mind. Then out of the blue in early December she got back in touch saying she had finally made a list and was I still interested. She emailed it over and OMG I could see why it had taken her so long to make the list, I hardly dare ask how much she wanted for everything but when she said £150 for the lot I virtually jumped in the car there and then and went to collect it all before she changed her mind because this is what I got....

I couldn't believe it!! Every playset is boxed and 100% complete including PARADISE ESTATE!!!!!!! Not to mention all the accessories, ponies including a boxed flutter pony! books, stickers, posters, back cards, games, fan club paperwork, full set of magazines, mug, quilt, pj case....I could keep going but WOW! Think this must be all my pony luck used up forever especially for the price!

Wow I love all your pony clothes!
If you want to go to a UK pony fair/ convention then you NEED to get yourself to UK PonyCon usually in October every year, held in a different part of the UK every year. Have a look at their website! :D
