When your out hunting for ponies in the wild....
« on: August 11, 2015, 05:11:13 PM »
Are there other toy lines that you are looking for?

I've been frequenting my local flea market in search of ponies and while I'm there, I see all kinds of other horsey toys : Breyer horses, fashion star fillies, a Bratz horse.  I've contemplated buying some for re-sale or trading purposes but I don't know enough to know what is common and what would be sought after.

So, any tips on what to keep my eye out for?

What other toys do you look for while pony hunting?

****edit****
Added question.
When you buy other non-mlp toys, do you buy for re-sale or trade?  Or only for your own collection?

I like to look for Fairy Tails birds but I've only ever found one  in the wild once.  :lol:

I always keep an eye out for other items. 

Last week I found two full bags of Legos - and we're talking the 1 gallon bags.  *WITH* instructions and mini figures!  And they were even individually bagged into sets.  O.o  Ended up costing me about $15.  Such a steal!

I look for all sorts of things.  :)

Personally, I'll pick up American Girl, Legos and almost anything vintage, if the price is good enough.

I admit to looking for the very old Beanie Babies, I know there's no market for them, but if I can find them for under $5 I go for them.  I'm talking old like the colored bears and the dinos.

I looooooooove fakies! I always look out for them. I recently found a beautiful bright green, glittery Cabbage Patch pony for only $0.49. :D I also have a major love of those little flocked German Filly ponies. I found a bunch from the butterfly line on sale at TRU and had to scoop them up.

I always keep an eye out for Breyer horses, I have found a couple at thrift stores for ~$1   :cool:

I'd love to spot a Stone Critter, but I never have.  I wonder if they are just so prone to chipping/breaking that they never make it past owner #1.   :huh:

I try to find any old FraggleRock, Popples, Lady Lovely Locks, and Transformers items when I'm out. Also, any old book series like Baby Sitters Club, Bobbsey Twins ( the 80's version),etc.

Fakies! Especially Lanard ponies from the 80's! I'd love to find the rest. Also strawberry shortcake and assorted fakies, and other 80's toys (I'd love to find Polly Pockets or Pet Surprises, but no luck yet.) basically any of the toys I collect (on a recent Want List post)  :)

I look for He-Man figures, something I've never actually found. I also look for Sindy dolls, for my sister, and vintage ladybird books, for my mother.
