do you ever have a pony or pony related item you just have some much bad luck with getting.
come share a story.
i have a few.
one is the silly silver hand bag to the G1 pony wear, iv bought and traded it so often and it usually gets left out of package, arrives damaged, i finally bought one (the last one) of a good pony friend of mine, it was dirty so when i cleaned it all the silver came of it COMPLETELY :shocked:.......... >_< give up i say to my self.
one is the G4 wave 3 blind bag GoldenGrape boy, i kept on and kept on getting out bid some time later i finally won him payed heaps for shipping for such a small thing just to have the seller write the wrong address on the packaged, got refund went to another seller only for the package to get lost in the mail after waiting well over a month for it :cry:
oh for goodness sake >_<
my other things are;
it took me 10 peachys to get a decent one and they are soooooooo common >_<
also the darn glittery blind bags, after months and months of trying to complete the wave 4 set and the rainbow target exclusive collection, because they dont sell them here in nz, they just keep on getting lost in the post or arriving damaged :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
sorry for the rant BUT really?? why
any other pony peeps have things like this happen?

Hmmm....for a long long time it was Majesty...but the lovely Stern sent me a gorgeous one in a recent swap so I have finally managed to add the perfect Majesty to my collection.
At the moment its not so much bad luck as just a general inability to actually track down a couple of the items I am looking for - searching for years and years for an accessory is seriously frustrating [I have no patience for pony hunting :P].
-
I can not think of anything at the moment right now. I keep getting out bidded on things I want when I am not at home and at work :(
-
*pony hugs* Sounds super frustrating!
I think my only annoyed complaint right now is that every single time I find Rockin' Beat Ponies, their hair is chopped off and trashed. I also don't have a crimping iron so I can't re-crimp the hair. ARRRRRRRRGH!
-
Yes! Sugar Apple - I missed out on her once because someone got in before me, then when I finally bought her (among other ponies) and the seller forgot to put her in the package! It's the Sugar Apple curse. Will she ever be mine?
-
If you need help with the blind bags I do have GoldenGrape and a bunch of the glitter series.
I've had similar luck with finding a monster high doll but I gave up and decided it wasn't meant to be.
-
Lemon Drop. I can not find one in good condition WITH a tail.
-
I am still looking for ONE MINT GREEN FLOAT I only need that and the bow handle to complete the soda shop gen 1 set. I keep looking and looking and no luck yet.
-
i have the handle to the ss shoe shaped shop :D

BBE Ribbon lol that pony always seems to elude me, or I find her and go to buy her and she's been snapped up. She's the set completer I need for my bbes

You can always try doing small braids to crimp it! That's what I usually do. There's just no way to justify buying a crimper to fix one ponies hair.

My bad luck pony is Sugarberry. I can never seem to find her without pindot mold without having to spend a fortune. :cry:
Also, for some reason, I am literally unable to find any of the G1 original six at thrift stores. I think the closest I got was a baity Peachy. >_<

Really? I'm cursed with Blue Belle's! Seems every time I get a batch of G1's lately, there's a Blue Belle in there.
-
I have Cotton Candy's coming out of my ears. My last batch of baits had 2 of them and 3 Moon Dancers.
-
For me it was always g1 bluebelle. I couldn't find her concave counterpart until recently I almost gave up on it. ><: I also keep putting off buying Gypsy. I think it was never meant to happen yet shrugs.
-
ever since I proudly stated (here) that I like the G3 Donkey pose... they keep creeping up on me!! XD Someday I should take a pic I guess...

Yup, the original six constantly elude me! And I swear that it's only me. Everybody else is drowning in seas of Peachys, Blue Belles, or Snuzzles, and I don't own any of them! XD Minty has literally become equal to a grail to me. :blush:

I bought a beautiful Bow Tie mirror from eBay about 5-6 years ago. Not only did the seller send it to the wrong buyer, but it wasn't packaged properly and got smashed in transit. I had my money refunded obviously, but I have not seen another since.
-
I really want G1 Minty. But I can never find a good condish one on ebay or etsy. Ugh
-
Mm, I wanted a Blossom. I bought her, and she had pindot. Like, all over her. So I took a MMC eraser and now she's good as new :)

Maybe you'll be lucky like me... I never got one, then finally got one 'thrown in' to a lot I bought on ebay... and she's an Italian!
Mine is Hula Hula... I've bid on DOZENS of them, and always get outbid.. I'm not going to pay $10+ for her, she's not worth that! What's the deal with her being so popular?! I just want to update my poor old one, because well.. she's beyond bait even, with cuts and holes, and barely any hair.

I had trouble finding a good condition Sunlight. My first one had bleeding symbols and my second had manky hair, so I purchased a replacement online - only to find the bottom plugs of her forelock had been cut. Finally I did a trade with someone from and got a nice version of her :)
