Sigh. I bought this as a "yay, you've finished most of your uni work", too I bought a G4 Ploomette from a Chinese seller on the 16th and eagerly awaited her delivery. Opened her today and, well...

They sent half of her, I guess?

Sigh. I'm messaging the seller with photos and will politely ask if I can be sent the pony I ordered. I really want Ploomette so I hope they can help (and don't insist I sent Plookie/Plinkette back...).

Hi all

I bid on and won 5 small lots of fakies. The seller said in the item description that they combine postage for multiple items and I'm just wondering what I should do now. Do I wait for the seller to send me an invoice or something for them all? I did send a message a few hours before the auctions ended about combined postage but haven't received a response yet. Is there something I can do to request a combined invoice from the seller just to help things along? (I don't want to wait too long without paying as I worry the seller will think I'm not going to pay at all!)

Whenever I've had combined items the seller's item listings have had an "add to cart" feature that automatically removed the excess postage so I'm a tad confused .

Thanks in advance for any advice!

This was my first ever pony swap and it was amazing! I think I'll definitely try to participate in more in the future ^^ So sorry this has taken me so long to post, I keep getting distracted I do apologise for the quality of some of these photos. My camera is old and a little temperamental.

We agreed that Cyberunicorn would send me some G1 bits, as I had wanted to begin collecting G1s (had been all G4 until now), and I would send her G4 ponies in return. Here is what I received:

I opened the outer-packaging (which was great! The postman delivered it in the rain and the contents were totally unharmed ^^) and was met with this.

I unwrapped it and peeled back the tissue paper.

Non-wrapped stuff & Christmas bits (excuse Fluttershy photobombing in the background. She's very sorry, okay?)

That pram looks so cute with the tinsel on it that I'm going to leave it there. I love the fuzzy candy cane and Blitzen is my favourite of Santa's reindeer so he'll get a good spot amongst my christmas decorations in future for sure!

Onto the wrapped stuffs! Nothing gets me excited like a pile of wrapped parcels, big or small!

Ponies!

She's gorgeous! Hopscotch (I think?) And so much bigger than my G4s; I hadn't actually realised how tiny G4s were until now  I think the babies might actually be bigger than the G4s 

My photos of the accessories came out even blurrier so here's a group photo:

Look at that lil pink teddy!

I was totally blown away with what Cyberunicorn sent me and definitely can't wait to get my hands on more G1s in the future, and definitely take part in more swaps ^^ Thank you so much for making my first swap experience such a great one <3.

On another pony note, I got Fantastic Flutters Cadence for Christmas from my sister:

I really love these new ponies. I bought Twilight a few days ago as well but she's still in the box. I wouldn't mind if they made Celestia and Luna like this too, though I hope they improve the QC on them. Both times I had to go through the store's entire shelf to find a pony with no or minimal flaws, and all of them were dirty in the box 

Unpictured: My friend went to the US over Christmas and ordered Princess Celestia FS for me whilst he was there. With that and getting FS Princess Twilight from my housemates, I will have all the FS princesses (until they release white Celestia. Do it, Hasbro. Do iiiiit).

Aaand it's not pony related, but today I received my GoodSmile Company 1/10th scale Goddess Madoka figure (from the anime Mahou Shoujo/Puella Magi Madoka Magica).

(with no import charges, too!). I pre-ordered her back in July and had been debating cancelling her but I'm so glad I didn't. I can't get over how delicate and pretty she is.

I found a really pretty G1 on Ebay, but the seller's photos are poor quality; the picture is kinda grainy, and the lighting is very yellow (the pony itself is yellow which makes it very hard to see if there are any issues). The seller does have close-ups of the eye and symbol on the pony's right side, but no photos of the left side. I sent a polite message asking if they had any photos of the left side and whether the pony had any ingrained dirt or rust (as the photos are bad enough that it's difficult to tell. This is my first time buying a G1 so I'm cautious of sellers trying to hide faults because I'm unsure I can fix them...). All I got in response was "No it's in excellent condition thanks". No new photos.

The seller has 100% feedback and isn't on the bad traders list. Some of their other listed items are taken in much better light with a better camera (this lot was uploaded with Ebay Mobile and in my experience those always seem to have crappy photos) so I'm a little wary that their pony lots have such poor photos and that they'd use such poor pictures for an "excellent" item, especially as the seller says they don't take returns.

Am I significantly covered by ebay if I win the pony and it shows up with mould or tail rust? Thanks for any advice! I'm probably over-thinking this 

We're on holiday for a week and I went and caught a stomach bug just before/just after we left so I'm feeling pretty crappy Would anyone mind showing me their princesses and/or alicorn ponies? Thank you so much in advance! I'd especially like to see Cadence as I'm considering buying her fashion style as my first step into larger brushable ponies

Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I'd really like to get an ID on these ponies from my childhood. I remember they came with a magazine, around 1995-1998ish (according to the numbers on the ponies' bellies). The magazine may have been UK/EU exclusive. They're made of a very soft plastic. I believe the white pony with the silver hooves is called Wispy, and the orange-speckled one is called Freckle (both could be wrong).
I believe the bottom two and the silver/white unicorn are McDonalds ponies.

I'm kinda sad I gave them haircuts Does anyone know how I could possibly salvage the tails or should I look at learning how to rehair them?

I appreciate any help, and can get better photos if anyone wants them

Hi there I'm Emmy, a 19-year-old Pegasister from England who has a tiny collection of five blind bag ponies, but is planning to knit or sew some in the future (eg. when I stop being lazy!). I'm in my first year of a Creative Writing degree and hope to one day sustain an idea long enough to write a publishable novel.

I wasn't really into MLP until FiM, which I adore, my favourite character being either Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash, though I probably act most like Fluttershy.

My other hobbies are writing, video games, knitting, and cosplaying.
