It's that time of year again! :dance: :newpony:
After last year's disaster (there were next to no sellers because of the bad weather, it was the first time there were no ponies at all), I got a worthy haul again! :D 17 G1 ponies, a puzzle, some accessories, a stable, a carrying case and 3 Fairy Tails. There are also two puffy stickers in the heart shaped box! :heart: Literally all the ponies are doubles, but some are upgrades, so I'm still super happy with them!
Highlights: Cherry Treats, all of the babies plus Highflyer, Taffeta Tails and Flutter Tails (I didn't have those yet), the Moondancer stamp, the box with barrettes and the puffy stickers. :D

Ahh major congrats on finding so many nice things!! I was looking for ponies too, but all I found was a dingy G2 that I don't collect. I'm curious where you went hunting! Rotterdam was empty, might've been because of the rain earlier on the day.. :pout:
They're all sooo cute though! I like the peacocklike Fairy Tails!
Congrats again on such an amazing haul. ^.^
-
Wow! Huge congrats. What a great haul. I never get lucky enough to find nice G1's in the wild.
-
Definely a great catch! So much ponies!!
-
Congrats on such a nice find there, I have not seen that puzzle yet. Those fairy tale birds are lovey too.

Every year I hear about this mysterious 'kingsday' and see all of the awesome brags people post! I have to say I am ultra envious as we don't have anything like this in my country! What a huge score of awesome G1 ponies. I see white Tootsie in the mix :)
Major congrats and thanks for sharing :frolic:
-
What an exciting haul!! Love the white Tootsie!
-
What a wonderful haul! They look so beautiful and some nice fairytale birds too!
-
wow, that's an amazing bunch :blink: they all look like they're in lovely condition, too! congrats!
-
Nice score you got there! Those ponies all look nice, and I love the Fairy Tails, especially the fan tails!

This! So much. :P
Seriously, HUGE congrats on the epic haul! :lol:

Congratulations, I didn't expect someone to find that much g1 since I just found 1.
Yes the weather wasn't that nice but here there were a few drops and it was cold.
I am going to prepare my pictures

Congrats. All the ponies look so wonderful
-
Gosh! Congrats on that nice haul! :frolic:

Thanks everyone! I'm super happy with them. ^.^
Cherry Treats and Cotton Candy (both are upgrades) were a last minute catch, too! We were already on our way to the bus, when I spotted a lonely stand across the street, not even close to the market. I could just SMELL they had ponies, so I racewalked to said stand with a pokerface. XD I left two ponies behind though, because the lady asked €3 each. That's not so bad, but it's more than I'm willing to spend on a Sundance with lipstick and another Italian Peachy. :pout:
By the way, it's kind of annoying that people are starting to catch on. Earlier that day I paid €13,50 for five ponies, and €7,50 for two ponies and the parlour elsewehere. Because "these are the real ones!" Still below the market value of course, but those are not fleamarket prices, you know? It kind of takes the fun out of it.
I'm curious to see what other Dutch collectors have found yesterday! :D And Tiffoes, I think in the randstad it's just harder to find stuff these days, I noticed before that people over there have a harder time to find anything. :( I'm in the south, things just don't move that quickly here. XD

Huge Congrats! What a great haul! I found only two G1, but well, I am super happy to find anything G1 these days :)

Wow, I paid less on the ponies. And the most expensive I saw was 7,50 on some G3 sets. I did see a lot of small children who asked mommy if she can have the my little pony. Reminds me of that topic in the corral. But luckily nothing rare so I was fine with it.

Wow what a great rebound to Kings Day! :) Congrats!

That is an amazing haul!!! Super congrats :green:

This day sounds like quite a treat! Congrats on your finds! :D
I'm traveling ot the Netherlands in the end of June. Do you have any suggestions of fun places to go for a pony collector? (Or just an overall nerd who loves pop culture and vintage toys?) :D

To be honest the big kingsday market is the only fleamarket I go to every year, so unfortunately I don't really know any good places. Though I did hear about the "IJ-Hallen" (http://ijhallen.nl/en/ (http://ijhallen.nl/en/)), I've never been there, but it may be worth it! Other than that, definitely check out Primark, especially in Amsterdam! They have loads of pony stuff at the moment, G4 as well as G1 (retro). ^.^

You found some awesome ponies, my Kingsday haul was mostly G3 bit one G1 Melody which I neeed XD
