Christmas came early - FREE PONIES!

[ZennaBug]

I work in the Kid's Club at 24-Hour Fitness.  It's actually a pretty sweet job, all things considered.  I made some copies of my G1 coloring book for the kids to color and one little girl took one (ok, a lot of girls did.  But this particular one has relevance to my story lol).  She showed her mom, who said "oh, you have that pony."  I mentioned that it was one of the older, 1980's ponies and she said yep, that was the one.  Apparently this kid had lots of old ones from her dad's sister.  I talked to the mom about them a little and mentioned that I collect those older ponies as a hobby.  The mom laughed and said that the little girl was getting to the age where she was too cool for ponies.  I told her to let me know if they ever were getting rid of them and I'd buy them.

Fast forward to last month.  The mom saw me when she checked her kid in and said that the little girl had recently announced that "ponies are for babies" and that she didn't want them anymore.  Mom asked me if I am still interested and I said that if the little girl was SURE she wanted to get rid of them, then absolutely.  Mom took my email and said that when they get home from their Thanksgiving trip, she'll get in touch with me about the ponies.  Then, she said she didn't want money.  She just wants them out of the house and in a home where they'll be appreciated.



Today, she came back in for the first time since that conversation with a bag of ponies!  22 G1s, 3 G3s, a fakie, and some pony wear!  All of the G1s have mohawks except one, but they're in pretty darn good condition otherwise.

Thanks everyone!  I am so thrilled!  It's like one of those pony stories you read and think "man, nobody ever just hands ME bags of ponies!" only this time someone did.    I have hours and hours of rehairing ahead of me, but I think that quite a few of them will get alternate rehairs, just because those are my favorite kind.

That's awesome! I love it when people pass toys on instead of putting them in landfill. Plus it means that they get to make more people happy
