Mahusive brag - Grail playsets, wonderful friends <3 *pic heavy*

[Chinabun]

Backstory:

One of my friends from the online Chihuahua community got in touch when she heard my daughter and I started collecting and had lost my entire G1 childhood collection - she said she "might still have a couple laying around". She wanted my girl to have her last ones and sent them to us.

The Box that came was MASSIVE and inside I found this...

I literally broke down crying!!! - just seeing the boxes again even I only had the Parlour and Stable, just made me so emotional! Im so moved that she would give them to her

They are in quite good condition - The Show Stable has some yellowing glue and plastic, only missing one flag I think - Pony was a bit sticky but is very nice after a wash!

The pretty Parlor is - well really pretty! All the accessories are in perfect condition! Not sure if anything is missing yet - Ill go through to check and so that I can hunt down any missing items

The waterfall "cloud" is a bit wonky and the white plastic has some discoloring (any tip on how to whiten hard plastic will be very much appreciated!) Also need to find the sponge and bubbles (lol)

That is a FABULOUS brag Friends like that are so awesome.

Oh, wow, that truly is amazing. That Sprinkles looks much nicer than mine that I got on a card when I was little, the hair quality is so different, it's like the difference between a MO Majesty and one that came with the playset, but the difference is that yours that came with the playset is the one with the better quality. Brandy seems to be in good condition too. Mine had rubbed details even when I got it as a child. You're so lucky! Lovely ponies.

Speaking of crying. I always cry when I hear the original MLP theme song. The first time I watched Midnight Castle as and adult, on youtube about a year and a half ago, I pretty much had tears in my eyes throughout the entire "movie". Ah, nostalgia.

Out of curiosity, where does your friend live that sent you her ponies, in another country? The show stable box looks a bit different than mine, that was bought in Sweden and I suppose Norway would have had the same kind.

Once again, major congrats!

Thats so neat! I cry then too! :p Love that tune - I had Sky and BBC as a child and watched MLP on DJ Cat show or Fun Factory (cant remember the exact ones)

I think my friend told me she did get the playsets from abroad - I cant remember the exact box mine came in, but I do remember it had the same image at front. I may have been about 5 or 6 when I got it - not completely sure! (Im born in -79)

I was also born in '79, perfect pony age. Think I got my stable when I was 5 or 6 too, possibly 7. I never watched the MLP cartoons on TV only on video at a friend's place because she had them on tape, my family didn't get a VCR till I was about 10, so seeing those movies on youtube really let out the nostalgia since I hadn't watched it since I was about eight-ish maybe.

My Show Stable box just has photographies on all sides, not the drawing.

Huge congrats, that was so super of your friend to send you her playsets for your daughter.   Congrats on all the other new additions as well.

[achab1984]

Congrats on all of your new ponies

[NovemberRain]

Wow, what an awesome bunch of ponies, major congrats . You really have an awesome friend, yay for ponylove .

[LightingElectricDream]

Oh Wow!!!!!
So Cool!
I bet you both are pretty happy about it all!


And this prob was said before but
for the yellowing playset use Hydrogen Peroxide,
let it soak in it. or apply it with a cotton ball 3 or 4 times a day or more.

[scarletjul]

How awesome! 

Major congrats!

[Chinabun]

Thank you everypony! Im so humbled by her generosity!

[Tiella]
