Hello all :D
I went to a car boot sale today with my boyfriend and a friend. We go often but haven't found anything pony... until today.
At one stall I found a sweet little G4 envelope set for 30p. Couldn't say no for that price even though I don't collect G4 :P
Next I came to a stall selling a bunch of well-loved toys. Most of them were boys things, action figures, cars and some fisher price stuff. But under all the things in a box I saw some tinsel-y blonde hair sticking out. I grabbed on and pulled out a G3 pony. No idea who she was at first so had to look her up when I got home and learnt she is Wing Song.
Bad photo of my two finds :D

But that is not all. I saved the best for last!
I paid my £2 for Wind Song and asked the guy if he had any more pony things. He told me he had a bag full at home, ponies and three "castle things". But then he explained that they were different to the one I had just bought... the were his daughters own toys from the 80's! G1's!!! He gave me his phone number and I just called him. I'm going to go see them tomorrow evening!!! He says he has a "bonnet like thing", "the castle" and something else that he couldn't remember (probably lullabye nursery or the stable). He said two even had their original boxes. It would be £2 a pony and £25 per set but if I wanted the lot he would do a deal. I'm so excited!
-
Wow! Sounds fun for you! Congrats on your finds and on an exciting pony adventure to come.
-
Post pics!!! Even im excited haha
-
This sounds interesting. I hope you find something wonderful! :)
-
Congrats! :)
-
OMG that sounds super exciting! Look forward to seeing an updated brag post hehe
-
Update: Meeting the guy in six hours time. He found the three playsets but could only find 10 ponies. Still really happy at that and can't wait!

phwoar, I think I had that dream a couple of times :inlove: Am I the only one who dreams about moving to an obscure country like Thailand or Colombia solely for the purpose of finding rare ponies? no? :zzz:
-
The day i found my indian blossom will always be the best day! Nearly died of shock haha
-
Wow Mimic you have some amazing luck!
Would be lovely to get some unusual ponies but I'm just happy to be getting some G1s anyway :drunk:
Just waiting for him to call me to let me know he's on his way
And Daffodil you are not alone. I have dreams like that too!
-
Looking forward to hearing what you'll be getting!
-
anything yet?? Im too excited haha
-
Nothing yet! He said he'd ring between 3 and four. He went to the beach today and took the ponies to take the to where we are meeting

Phone just went. False alarm!
-
The suspense is killing me so god knows how you feel haha
-
Yeah, I am just sitting here staring at the phone, haha
-
oooo I cant wait to see what you get!
-
I bought a lot of G3 ponies from an ad online and i was so excited all day to go and pick them up! I got 50 ponies for £35 but to make it even better i found baby ruby in the lot! The lady thought she was fake so threw her in for free!
-
How do you have such amazing luck :P
I struggle to find anyone selling g1 ponies outside of ebay
Call should be coming any time now!
-
I usually go through dry spells haha then when pony luck arrives it arrives in style!
-
Good grief. Phone went again... window sales people. Arghh! XD
Couldn't get her off the phone!!
Thought that might have been it then!

Ahhh! He called seconds after I put the phone down. Off I go!
-
Yay!! Please post what you get ASAP!!
-
I'm baaaaack!
And now to show you the treasures I unearthed from the magical B&Q carpark :P
(Honestly felt like I was partaking in a shady deal. Me and my boyfriend hovering around our car waiting for someone to show up)
To start with... not what I was expecting - in a good way!
No mountain boys, or anything ultra rare but I am sooooo happy with what I got! So, on with the show!
We start with a Bubbles without a tail-poor girl!

And a blossom with some yucky marks on her side. Thought they might have been mold at first but they look like they are just some old 80's dirt :P

Here is where things get interesting...
A so soft Magic star in quite awful condition. She's lost a ton of flocking and her glue has discoloured

A so soft Shady in fair condition but two bit red ink marks on two of her feet

A beautiful so soft Wind Whistler wit still pink hair

And now the really really big surprises. The three playsets. Ok, my jaw hit the floor with these guys!
First up, it wasn't the ballet thing that I originally thought but the crimp and curl hair salon! It's a bit dirty, but will clean up :)

Then... Lullabye Nursery and Dream Castle in their boxes...

Lullabye Nursery with some accessories

Some accessories I don't think are mlp, like these guys. Anyone know what they could be?

And finally... The big one... Dream Castle with Majesty and Spike
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
The castle itself is a little damaged but boy, just look at the accessories! And Majesty is the best I've ever seen. Grubby but no discolouration and perfect cutie marks :dropjaw:
Could anyone give me a PC on this bundle? Just curious and my BF keeps bugging me to find out :P
-
wow what a haul! Just look at that dream castle and all the bits! Amazing lot! Could i be cheeky and ask what you paid? I would certainly estimate the total value to be around £100 - £150. The castle alone must be worth £50!
So glad ive waited to see this!
-
I paid £70 for the lot. £2 per pony, £25 for Dream castle, £20 for the nursery, and £15 for the salon. He gave me £10 off though :P
I'm really really happy with it. The so softs especially, I only have three and they are my second favorite pony group (after twinkle eyes). They will be my first cleaning mission I think!
-
I would say thats an amazing price :) Well done you!
-
Wow! Nice luck you had there! Congratulations!!!
-
Wow! What a cool adventure! Congrats on your new additions!
-
Well done indeed on that haul!
-
Wow what I great haul! Congrats, though I have to say I cracked up looking at your pics and got to this one of blossom:
