Title: America <---> Netherlands Trade? *Returned and update*
Post by: ponyqueen on March 24, 2015, 07:42:40 AM
Thanks for participating, everypony! I hope to do this again sometime!!


 :rainbow: On April 16th I will be traveling to Amsterdam on a tulip viewing mission! My other objective is to acquire ponies! I am wondering the following:

1) For Netherlands members- are there US exclusive ponies that I could bring over for you, that are otherwise too expensive to ship? If you buy the pony(ies), I am willing to bring them over in my luggage as a personal Arena courtesy!

2) Any chance we could trade for some Euro exclusive ponies that I could bring home for my personal collection? (Interested mostly in G1, but also G2 and G4). (Or that I could buy for reasonable prices?)

3) For American members (especially in MN or will be attending the Chicago Fair) - Any Euro exclusive ponies I can pick up on your behalf and bring back to the states?

A couple things to note: I will be arriving in Amsterdam, then traveling to Belgium, northern France, western Germany, then back to Amsterdam. So I will need to deliver ponies at the beginning, and pick up ponies at the end so they're not just bumping along in my backpack the whole time...

Also- my luggage space will be limited. My husband is going so we have a little room to work with, but we are not planning on checking any luggage so space is at a premium.

Swap-wise, I would also be happy to be courier for any other exclusive items, space allowing. I'm thinking regional chocolates and other goodies!

Anyhow, please respond in this thread if you are intrigued by this opportunity for pony-cultural exchange!

Oh, Amsterdam is 20 minutes away for me (by train). What kind of Euro exclusives would you be looking for? G4? G2? There are probably some US things I'd like to have, but I have to check my bankaccount first :P But I'd love to meet you :D

For G4 I am only interested in the ponies, none of the dolls or merch. I think I'm still missing Skywishes G4, Daisy Dreams G4. For G2 I barely have any, since the release was so small over here- but I do have a handfull. I'll have to find their names!

Were you looking to get  the G4s MOC? Because that's going to be really difficult.  There is one Daisy Dreams in the stores right now, but that's the scooter version with Rarity. I can go to a toystore that is always way behind with their stock (still had the Ploomette exclusive there when I last visited).

As for G2. Let me know :)

I might be able to get the g4s loose though! That's a lot easier for me ^^

I would prefer loose. Cheaper and easier to transport!  :blush: Also I just like to handle them.

As for G2... I'll look into what I have!  :satisfied:

Hmm... I don't know precisely how we are getting from one area to another- sometimes the train, sometimes by hitchhiking I think. But I love loose G2s, and G1 Italy ponies sound very enticing! I should get a list of G1 ponies I have here that I can trade, because I have a lot...  ^.^

Hi,

I also live in the Netherlands. I do have some g2 to trade, and I would love to buy some US exclusive.
I'm kinda new here so I need to figure out how this will actually work, but I am looking forward to discover haha.
Are there some typical g2's you are interested in?

Just let me know :)
Title: Re: America <---> Netherlands Swap?
Post by: Moonbreeze on March 27, 2015, 12:30:40 PM
I'll try my best to find the exclusives. For all those interested I have some G2 listed on my sales page (link in my sig). If you see anything else from a Dutch seller then they can send it to me if it's too far away for them. And I'd be happy to trade. My wantlist is not complete so you can just send me your list.

I know one person who has G4 Rainbow Flash, but they're asking 25 for her. So...?
And the toystore with the old mlp stock is gone  :cry:

Eta: I heard that the new Flower Wishes is not in the US yet. She is available here. Along with BonBon and Skywishes. So I can pick those up if people want them. They're €7 each

OMG Moonbreeze I just took a glance at your sales page! I'll need to start a list, so many great looking ponies! I'll also need to check out your want list, hoping to trade whenever possible!  :biggrin:

Post by: Karma on March 29, 2015, 01:52:10 PM
I'd love to find any ponies you all in the Netherlands don't have! I so want to visit you all, find some of the ponies I can't find here.... maybe someday!
Title: Re: America <---> Netherlands Swap?
Post by: ponyqueen on March 30, 2015, 05:31:36 AM
Okay, I figured out which G2s I already have! Here is my current collection:
[deleted pic]

So I would be interested in any G2s that are not pictured above. My greater passion though, is G1 ponies, so I definitely hope to walk away with some G1 gals, especially any that were Dutch exclusives? Like I don't know of almost anything, but in the Arena Derby last year I noticed a Dutch "Baby Cat"? Is she HTF? She'd be cool. Any anything with flowers in the symbol.

Trading is oh-so-nice! Here is an iffy picture of G1 ponies I have on hand for trade that I can bring with me:

Sorry for the group pic, but I don't normally sell/trade these guys online, only in person at meets and fairs (of which I've only done one!)

Hi! I've posted pics of what I have, and I can probably still find G4s at the store if you're interested in that gen. :)

G4s still in stores: Photo Finish, Water Cuties, some mane 6 with rainbow tinsel in hair... Um... The ones called Pony Mania at Toys R Us.  Also EG and Fashion Style, but I don't know which ones.  >_<

What an awesome initiative! I'd love to trade with you for some euro exlusives. I'm currently organizing my sales, so I can send you a full list of ponies and merch I have for trade. Dutch baby Rabbit is among them.

I'll be posting more details when I'm more organized ^^

If there's anyone who might be interested in my ponies, send me an email; theponybusiness@hotmail(dot)com

I'm not sure if there is any UK merch floating around on mainland Europe. Every country had comics and merch in their own languages (or mostly at least).

Here are the G3s I found recently in my wash bin- They've all been bathed and they're all in excellent condition- no major marks, no haircuts or anything like that-

Two Valentine exclusives with 3D symbols, five winters, and two others that are just lovely to look at!

Let me know if you are interested in trading for any of these and I'll bring them along!  :biggrin:

Neth. members- Final call on US pony wishlists! I'll need to wrap up shopping for US ponies by Tuesday or early Wednesday so I can get everything packed and ready to go on Wednesday (we leave Thursday afternoon). Also if there are any ponies in the photos I've posted you are interested in, let me know so I can set them aside. :)

US members- I have Euro wishlist items written down for egyptiandragon and lorelei redfern... if any other members want me to keep a lookout for items/ponies, I need to know ASAP (and your budget for any particular pony). I live in MN and will be attending the fair in Chicago if you want to pick up in person. :)

Thanks! :heart: pq
