I'm back after a few years away and am planning to sell the rest of my childhood pony collection. I have a complete Lavender Dream Castle. Everything in it comes from my childhood, except 1 purple goblet that I purchased. It is identical to my childhood goblet so I'm pretty certain it's original. Being so rare, I don't even know how to price it. Would it be better to sell as a set, or split it up? Most accessories are in NM/excellent condition, except as mentioned below. I tried to input actual photos into the page, but Photobucket was giving me trouble, so I've only been able to link to the album below. Condition IssuesPlayset: lots of glue yellowing, top and bottom hinges on one side are broken, flag stickers have some age spots Throne: bottom portion has a tag of plastic breaking off (not visible on display), small black dot near pony on front, pink felt has small discolorations (impossible to photograph) Goblets: one is bent Spike: small discoloration at corner of mouth, small paint rub to right foot Cape: small discoloration spot (haven't tried to clean) Damsel hat: elastic is frayed, ribbons were put in so the knot it in the middle instead of the end Brush and Comb: I am 99% sure that these are the right colors. I always kept my childhood collection separate from my "new" collection and before I sold anything, I checked colors of everything against the wiki, but I can't 100% guarantee that they are the right colors. http://s911.photobucket.com/user/bibsy2000/library/For%20Sale-Trade

Hi, I am back after a few years ?!?! away. Though I still have fond memories of ponies, I've decided to sell my collection. I've already sold most of it via ebay, but have still held onto my childhood collection. It's time to let those go as well, but for sentimental reasons (plus some are very rare/valuable), I wanted to log back on here to make sure that they go to people who will really appreciate them.

I've been away from the forum and collecting for about a year and I've decided to massively downsize my collection, but hoped to get some price checks in small chunks before I post the huge list on the sales forum.
Thanks

Sorry, I don't think it's Lightning's brush I've noticed the different shades too, but below is a photo of the two brushes you have with Lightning's brush on the left. It's a WAY lighter shade difference. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I've only used it on white playsets: the Buggy and Stable, but it's worked really well on both of those, so I'd guess it would work on the kitchen too. Other people have reported success on colored playsets, but I can't vouch for them personally.

I bought a complete Good Weather with her accessories (the umbrella pole was broken and it looks like yours might be too) last fall 2014 for $65. I think I really got a good deal on her and I would expect her to generally run much higher maybe $80-100 with loose accessories and complete. I also recently sold her beachball, starfish, and shovel for about $18 if I remember correctly. Her sunglasses will probably be the most expensive, maybe $18-20 on their own. I'd even be interested in them and will PM you Hope this helps

I recently found an organization page on My Little Wiki that helps a lot with IDing accessories. I generally use that one and the greatponies one. Good luck! http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Pony_Accessories

I don't use a hydrogen peroxide bath, I use peroxide gel 30 concentration (the highest you can get without a license). I don't know how well a bath would work. I spread it on with an old toothbrush and let it sit for a few days. Depending on how yellowed it is, you might have to repeat a few times. Make sure to use gloves since the peroxide will sting if left on your skin. The gel also seems to lose it's potency when left exposed to the air, so if you're just doing the baby buggy, I'd try to get an airtight container big enough to fit it in. I did this with my baby buggy and it worked a lot faster than the larger playsets that I had to leave exposed to air. Good luck!

I can't contribute to the gallery, but I wanted to thank you for putting together such a wonderful site. It's a very helpful resource

Welcome to the accessory-lovers club! I second that lots are really good for collecting accessories, particularly at the beginning. When I started collecting 2 years ago I also found lots of people selling accessories here at the Arena. It's been a bit quiet over Christmas and the start of the new year, but I think the Arena sales will pick up again soon.

This was too crazy for me not to look up. It seems like it's Barbie Stable Styles Playset
http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-K8595-Stable-Styles-Playset/dp/B000LRHX7U
what a weird concept
Who has more fun, blondes or brunettes? Good grief
PS-great detective work Bibsy!
It makes you wonder if they have the same thing for dolls (which sort of reminds me of Return to Oz) PS thanks!

In my database I have for G1 US Store Releases - 464 US Mail Order - 57 International - 129 International includes unique UK, Netherlands, and German ponies (Baby Buttons, Tales Characters, Nesthacken baby ponies, etc) but doesn't count "Nirvana" releases of the same pony in different styles like is common for Argies, French, or for instance the NSS releases of ones released in the US (like Truly or Shady). I should note, I don't have them all - yet but my database has an entry for every one I know about. Hope this helps
