Title: Four Playsets and a Lunchbox
Post by: Safflower on November 22, 2017, 12:55:43 PM

One day I was scrolling through craigslist, looking for ponies. I stumbled upon a listing of four nearly complete, almost mint G1 playsets for $40. I have to admit, I kind of screamed :blush: I was (and still am) shocked! G1s are rarely in my area and when they are they are way overpriced (for instance, a dirty, grubby, broken shell of a Show Stable with a couple of grimy, bitten, and common G1s and G3s for $60). Pics under the spoiler!

This is everything before I inspected it. These are the only matte white floors I have so excuse the shoes and other things!(The thing in the upper right conner is my mom's shoe. She walked in right as I was taking the picture, lol :biggrin:visitors can't see pics , please register or login

First off, the Perm Shoppe! It is way bigger than I thought, lol. It is so nice though! This is what it looked like when I first opened it. You can see the bag of accessories and Fifi in there :)

Here are all the accessories! The only things that are missing are the fashion foam and the cart. The purple ribbons are still so curly too!

The makeup is barely touched, aside from the lipstick. You can still see where the eyshdow hasn't been touched!

Next up, the Pretty Parlor! I'm glad this one came with the correct pony! My other one came with a Lemon Drop, lol :biggrin:

Here are all the accesories! Sadly, poor Peachy is missing Twinkles. Blue Belle, Minty, and Lemon Drop's tags are all missing too. She has all the other accessories, including the correct ribbons though! :biggrin:

I noticed something weird about the hats though. All the pictures I looked at had their colors switched! I think it's cool though :)

Here it is all clean! Peachy still has waves at the base of her tale from being braided. I think it looks cute :biggrin:

Here it is all clean! Excuse the wig in the background, it's from goodwill and I'm still trying to fix it. Didn't realize it was there :blush:

Last of the playsets, the School of Dance!

The only things missing are the yellow ballet box, a leg warmer, and a dance card. The leg warmers and tutu are so cute!visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Here it is all clean! Baby Half Note has somewhat curly hair and no rusty eyes, which is great  :) She looks adorable in her attire :biggrin:

The seller threw in a lunchbox as well! It is so pretty :heart:

Thanks for reading my first brag! I apologize for being annoying in the shoutbox for a couple days :blush:

Omg, I am rather envious right now!  What an AWESOME buy.  Look at all of the tiny little accessories you got with the sets! Those alone are brag worthy because they can be so jolly hard to find.  I have been collecting for years and I don't own the Perm Shoppe, School of Dance or the Sweet Shoppe!  Major congrats !!!  :frolic:  :cheer:

What a superawesome brag!

All those playsets for 40! The saloon and the Sweet shoppe looks near mint.
Huge Congrats!

 :happy:  Wow!!! I am so excited for you!  Hopefully it will be easy to find the few pieces you need. It’s next to impossible to find a loose playset with nearly all of its accessories! You did great!   :good:

Even better, it was actually 40 bucks! :)
