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

Only if you ever sell them lol!

You're like me then. lol. Thought I was the only one here who hoards everything and sells nothing. :)

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!

Lucky! No, the only flea market I ever really went to in recent years in Ohio was one in Streetsboro, OH. Found a box of g1s there one time but mostly just a ton of g3s. I just moved to VA (I dunno why I don't update my location, lol, I'm still an Ohio girl at heart and don't want to I guess) earlier this year. In Ohio there's not much even within an hour radius of you I feel.. lol. It's not the same way here in VA where there are flea markets and thrift shops everyyywhere.

I haven't found any G1s in the wild in ages. It's been a year at least, maybe even two years. I don't really look that much but I do go to the flea market about every other weekend. The last one I found there was a pretty haggard Slugger.

Does a pony convention count? :P There was NO G1 stuff for two days, only G4!! But on the very last day, a seller brought in some G1 ponies for sale, possibly because I mentioned not seeing any G1 stuff for sale the previous days! XD

At the antique shop vendors... there are two or three cases that have G1 MLP in them.  I picked out some memorable favorites but I have no desire to go back and buy 'em all.  Hopefully some others in the Alberta area will get an opportunity to check it out!

I haven't been to any markets in a while but I did find G1 Baby Alphabet & Wave Runner in London a few weeks ago! I have actually found a few G1s in those Farrah second hand shops :)

After a few dry years I found a  TAF dancing butterflies at VV in a $6 bag.  She has tailrust and is filthy inside but I couldn't just leave her there.  :)

I must live in a pony-free area, because I have looked in numerous second-hand stores and never found a single pony. I don't mean that I haven't found any G1s, I actually mean that I have never found an authentic second-hand MLP in the wild.

Nice find (albeit a little under the weather). Still haven't found any G1s yet.
