Title: Little Bro Does It Again!
Post by: kiwimlp on March 13, 2017, 03:00:18 PM: visitors can't see pics , please register or login

My little brother is an avid Star Wars and toy collector. He is always going to op-shops, boot sales and school fairs to add to his many collections. While on his travels he often picks up ponies for me. Last weekend he snagged this lot for $4 at the Tip recycle center :)

Two Alternate Birthflowers!! Carnation is really worn sadly, and Poppy is a little faded but still displays nicely.

Tabby still has her white squirrel tail ring and is an upgrade for my collection! I'm also going to keep the newborn twins and the petites. Sundance has an original ribbon in her hair which I will keep too :)

This is the most exciting find he has had in a while, so I wanted to share. Thank you little brother!! :frolic:

He is very good at recognizing Alt Birthflower ponies. He has found about half a dozen over the years. I usually sell them for him and give him the money as I already have the set :)

Thank you everyone for your comments. I hope you all have pony luck while shopping this week too :D

Post by: Haruna on March 22, 2017, 08:18:45 PM: :faint: That's amazing! I can't believe it was just $4!
Title: Re: Little Bro Does It Again!
Post by: Carebearnmbr46 on March 23, 2017, 12:43:57 AM: That's so super awesome! The alt birthflowers alone made that lot a total deal! And Sandcastle and Shovels sure are cute, and in decent condition from the looks of them too! But I think finding Tabby with her squirrel ring and Sundance with an original ribbon was especially great. Little things like that get lost and are almost never found again, so you'll almost always pay a lot more for them than they are really worth. I'm so excited for you, congrats!! Your brother must be a dream! Haha
