I also used to order from Dollyhair, but they are just too unreliable now. I've just ordered from The Doll Hair Emporium once again, the second big (for me) order I've placed. Melanie has been so helpful each time. They have a huge variety of colours, but I'm just learning which match up to those that I'm used to getting from Dollyhair. Maybe have a look at their site? They're UK based

I once bought ponies from someone where we met in a Woolworths and she gave me a brown paper bag and I gave her money. For all anyone knew that could have been anything. But no one stopped us.

I love oddball ponies. I have a Magic Hat with no symbols at all. Whether this was done intentionally by a previous owner I don't know, but I love her like that. I also have a couple of baby ponies who's manes continue up the backs of an ear. And my SS Lofty has a tail which is so offset from centre it looks like she has a side pony.
Then I have 2 ponies with differently coloured symbols, as in part of the symbol on the one side is a different colour to the other. The shades on the ponies match each other though, even though they are not the same pony. I believe they came in the same set though, which is the type of thing which interests me.

I don't have her, and I do want her. But only under certain conditions: I would like a BAIT version of her that I could rehair with red, possibly with white streaks. As pink... is not a Christmas colour in my book. And as she is supposed to be a Christmas themed pony she should look the part to me. So I will wait patiently until such a pony comes my way because I could never do this to one in good condition.

I made my first eBay pony purchase in nearly a year on 1st January: a lot of bait ponies including SS Ribbon and Scrumptious. I love Scrumptious and am very excited about Ribbon who I purchased previously but she was sent without tracking and didn't arrive. You cannot send anything to S.A. without tracking sadly.

I would absolutely love it if they brought back the flutters. And I would love it even more if we were able to buy Basic Fun ponies in South Africa, but no store here wants to stock them even though we as the pony collectors have all asked them pretty please to.

I have her: she came without any sign of having had a symbol, but that may not mean anything what with how fragile those symbols are. I bought her on purpose like that and I think it suits her, she's one of my favourite ponies.

Lucky Ponies are the only fakies I collect, though I think the sitting Lanard babies are cute and will definitely get a vintage brown Lanard if I ever come across one but that's because of sentimental reasons: I used to own one and would like to again.

Milky Way. Though if she were in a different pose (almost any other unicorn pose would do) I would love her

I missed out on a BIN lot on eBay which included Moon Jumper because, for some reason, my internet chose that precise moment to crash. And by the time it came back up the lot had of course been sold.
I think someone tried to offer a higher amount for a Mexican Cotton Candy to the seller, as they suddenly went very strange after I had won the auction and kept on telling me that the pony was in much worse condition than the photos showed and being very slow to respond to my messages. However they did eventually send her and I have always wondered because, in my opinion, she is actually good for a Mexican and I won her for a good price, being the only bidder. However I don't know for sure and perhaps they were just a really conscientious seller.

I've had several surprises when opening up pony mail. Three ponies arrived with undisclosed writing on their butts (two names and a price), which was particularly inconvenient for the one as she was a gift. Written upon ponies: Birthday Pony, Pink Dreams and Candy Apple (the gift).
Another lot arrived with the most terrible mold smell ever, not surprising as they were full of it inside too. They WERE a bait lot, but I really wasn't made aware of the mold.
Two others have arrived covered in cat pee, and Munchy also had some disgusting black slimy stuff inside her.
I have however never sent any ponies back, mostly due to the shipping as they travel to South Africa and it just isn't worth the additional cost.
And so far I have been able to fix everything, even the moldy ponies are nearly there though they have put up one heck of a fight.

I have three of my childhood herd. No idea what became of the rest: they were supposed to be with those 3 in the three boxes that we had kept stored until there would be space to display them, but they just weren't. The shock and heartache of opening those boxes and finding them missing was enormous.
I have now replaced them all, except for SA Windy. She is way out of my price range. Funnily enough I remember getting her so clearly: I was really disappointed at first because she wasnt a 'proper' My Little Pony.
However, on the other hand, I now have ponies that I desperately wanted as a child, like Medley.
