I'm still a maybe, inching toward probably not.  I have my eye on the weather right now.  Usually 1-3 inches of snow isn't bad, but we have been getting some nasty wind with the last few storms.  Plus it is an unfamiliar driving route for me.   :(   Everyone have fun!  :)

Sounds like fun!  I'll have to check a few things, but put me down as a maybe!

Pony Corral / Re: Your best pony find?
« on: March 04, 2015, 10:42:43 PM »
I've been pretty lucky over the years as well, but MIB Diamond Dreams is definitely a special find.  The thrift store I found her at hardly ever has anything.  I just stopped by on my way through town and was making a quick run-through.  I ended up starting at the back of the toy aisle.  As I glanced upward .... I nearly fell over when I saw the side of the box peeking out on the top shelf.  I almost fell over again when I saw the price ($6.99! The same as the original price tag!)

I'd be careful with little kids that may chew, but otherwise I wouldn't stress about older kids. I agree that there is too much other stuff out there to be too concerned.  (Then again I grew up on a farm and used to run barefoot through the barnyard.)  :P

Pony Corral / Re: Which areas have the most ponies in thrift stores?
« on: November 03, 2014, 04:05:20 PM »
There used to be a lot here (it was amazing in the late 90's and early 00's), but it has thinned out the last few years.  I still usually run across a few on my rounds.  Maybe not every week, but usually at least once a month.  I even still find those amazing finds about once a year or maybe two.

Pony Corral / Re: New poll: are you a picky collector?
« on: September 29, 2014, 04:08:54 PM »
I'm more picky than I was.  I'm primarily a thrift store hunter right now.  I do collect all generations, but I have a lot of ponies in good condition and don't always have a lot of time to nurse everyone I find back to health.  Most of the US G1 ones I need are mail order and most of the ones I need to upgrade are not in bad shape themselves.   Also I think there are some newer collectors in my hunting range, so sometimes I'll pass a borderline one by the first time round and pick it up if it is still there the next week.

Smokey ponies have always been a turn off.  Excessive marks and buzz-cuts usually stay behind too because I'm not really a customizer.
