Pony Corral / Re: Least Favorite Gimmick
« on: May 01, 2018, 05:15:23 PM »
Honestly, any pony with moulded clothes, that makes sounds, or has...eyelashes. *shiver*
Bizarre add ons don't do much for me.
I don't care much for any G1 ponies with joints or moulded shoes. I'm also not a huge fan of the Sweetheart Sister style of pony.
The ponies that are slightly larger than your standard G1 adult all bother me a little as well.
The scale is off when I look at them next to say, Minty, and it makes me twitch a little. x'D

Hey guys, my boyfriend and run a small toy shop, and I have no idea what to do with these. I collect mostly vintage toys, but I don't know a lot about Littlest Pet Shop, aside that these were mine as a kid. Help? 😂💖💖

Are you open to trades?  :)

I am! Private Message me?
Also, thank you, Black Curtains! I don't think anything is complete, but that helps so much! I didn't know about that site. 💖

Lately, not that often, but I run a shop on instagram, so I need to socialize on there to keep things moving. This forum taught me everything I know about ponies and restoration that's now helping me pay bills (and collect, of course).
I used to get on a million times a day when I was around 13/14. I'd honestly like to be on more.
I've missed it, and but with this new name and my missing post count, I feel a little strange.
The one thing I was super sad to see gone when I came back was the chatroom! Guyyysss! ;...; It was the best. 💖
I love this place though, and I trust this board in general to always give me good advice and honest, informed pricing information. I've never been ripped off in a deal, and that's probably thanks to this board. 💖

Oh, holy snap!
I might have screamed a little when I saw those TE girls! Lol! You have a fantastic collection! I love seeing them MOC/MIB.
One day my wall is going to be covered! ;3

Oh geez! Congrats on those! They look like they're in good shape too. :3 💖

All of the advice here is fantastic! I've been at it for about twelve years, give or take. As far as aquiring G1's and G3's, I'd learn all you can about them online, and then look for lots of them on a site like ebay. If you get some that just have surface dirt or minor marks, a magic eraser can work some REAL magic. I started learning how to restore them when I got into G1's, just because in the end, it's cheaper to buy a slightly damaged pony and fix it up. :3
It's also incredibly satisfying to fix an old toy up!
Also, one thing that's worked for us is making a local listing looking for them on social media. Just always make sure to bring someone with you, and meet in a busy, well lit place for safety!
Happy hunting!

Mine's @witchglow. :3 I mostly post toys, cats, makeup, and some random selfies. Everyone's welcome to follow and message me! If anyone's into Ninja Turtles or Marvel Legends as well, my boyfriend is also a toy collector, and his is @mudkip5000. We both post a lot of combined stuff since we live, collect, restore, and hunt together, so he sometimes posts ponies too. (He gave permission for me to drop his screenname.)

Introductions / Re: Returning Collector :3
« on: March 09, 2018, 08:13:33 PM »
Welcome back to the Arena!
As you have an old account we will merge these for you, as we do not allow multiple accounts.

Loa! Omg, I'm so glad to see the same admins around!
 I haven't seen that name in about twelve years!
 I hope you've all been well! My old account is 'Surprise', but I don't know if it even exists anymore.
By the way, this forum kept teenage me from doing silly junk. I spent my time restoring toys and reading instead of causing mayhem. I'll always love this forum for teaching me everything I know. :3 Thanks, guys. 💖

Introductions / Returning Collector :3
« on: March 08, 2018, 01:58:53 PM »
Hello! I'm Heather, and I'm a twenty-six year old woman from Lynchburg, Virginia.
I've been collecting and restoring ponies since I was around 13/14.
I used to frequent The Arena as 'Surprise' back then, if any of the older members are still around. :3
I'm a G1 and G3 collector, primarily.
Aside from ponies, I love cats, music, makeup, anime, horror movies, comics, and all sorts of things!
