Trader & Shipping Support / Advice on a recent purchase
« on: May 08, 2015, 02:25:58 AM »
Can I have some advice? I bought a soft toy from somebody on ebay who listed it as new because it still had the tag attached. I could tell that she didn't really want to sell it from the item description, she was very reluctant to let it go. The only flaw she mentioned was a small blue mark and that it had received "the odd cuddle". She was also extremely nice to me in messages before it arrived. However it came today, and to be honest it's just not in the condition I was expecting. It's got another mark which she didn't mention (I'm not suggesting she did this on purpose, she may have not nptcord it), it's lost it's fluffyness (feels like it's been handled a lot) and it also smells kind of weird, like cheese? I feel like I should say something because I paid a high amount for it expecting it to be in very good condition, but she's been so nice to me and I know she didn't really want to sell it so I feel really bad saying anything. On top of that these are quite htf so id be reluctant to send it back considering ive been looking for one for ages. What would you do in this situation?

Pony Corral / Getting my collection insured
« on: April 07, 2015, 02:38:04 AM »
I was thinking about having my collection insured from theft/fire damage, but don't really know how to go about doing it. I was wondering if anybody else has done this and what they did to ensure that each pony was insured for the right value. Is it worth doing? I don't have anything super rare like nirvanas or MOC's but I do have quite a lot of ponies which would cost a lot to replace if something happened to them. I live in the UK if that makes a difference.

Pony Corral / Why do you find so many ponies with buzzed forelocks?
« on: March 30, 2015, 10:34:37 AM »
It just occurred to me how many ponies you see with either cut or buzzed forelocks. I'm assuming this was done by children and not collectors ;) my question is, why? I can understand kids wanting to cut all of the hair, but why just the forelock? Why is that seemingly so common? I don't get it xD

Pony Brag Arena / Birthday Build a Bear Order
« on: March 28, 2015, 04:48:33 PM »
My dad bought me Princess Luna for my birthday, and I added Cadance and Toothless to the order, and here they all are!

I'm really excited - I was really hoping they'd bring out a Luna plush :D And I've finally got Toothless! Haven't previously been able to afford him/find him but how he's mine  :lol:

Annoyingly they sent me a Cadance with a strange facial deformity (that weird crease beneath her eye) but never mind!  :P

I feel like there's probably an explanation of this somewhere on here already but I couldn't find one. Why is she so expensive and HTF in comparison to all the other Mail Order ponies? Was there a limited number of her or something?

Pony Corral / Ponies related to cars/planes

Are there any ponies related to cars/planes? I can only think of Daddy Berrytown but wondered if there were any others.

Price Check Archives / PC on lot of ponies
« on: February 25, 2015, 10:37:42 AM »
Somebody has offered me this lot for £200 plus PayPal fees. I'd like to know if they're worth that much. If not, what should I offer? It's just I'll be selling most of them so I'd like to make most if not all of the money back and keep a few. Thanks for any help.

I have his hat already but not his bandana, however I don't mind whether or not he comes with one. Must be in good condition. I live in the UK so would prefer a European seller. Thanks x

I am on the search for a Big Brother Wig Wam. He must be in good condition. I have his hat so don't need that but don't have his bandana. I value him at about £8-10 on his own in good condition so will trade an equal value of ponies. Pictures upon request. I have the following:

G1:
Kisscurl
European Snowflake
North Star
European Milky Way
Sundance
Baby Ember
Baby Dangles
Curly Locks
Forget-Me-Not
Morning Glory
Nibbles
Sea Breeze
Secret Beauty
Sky Dancer
TE Sky Rocket
Whirly

G3:
European Winter Snow
Twist and Style Starsong

I am in the UK so would prefer to trade with someone in Europe, but not a necessity. You must have trade feedback please! :)

I'm selling this G4 accessory lot with Fluttershy & RD, any ideas on what I should price it at? Some of the accessories are rarer, such as the scooter and the baking set.

Price Check Archives / PC on prototype G4 Minty
« on: December 12, 2014, 07:10:00 AM »
One of the only prototypes I'd like to own, as I think she's much prettier than the version that was officially released. Can anyone give me an idea of how much she sells for? Thanks x

Off Topic / Amazing Fanmade Lion King Animation

This has been out a while so some of you may have already seen it, but I saw it today and I'm SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED. The animation in this is so close to the style of the actual film. I just had to share!

Just in case you don't know, the song in the video is taken from the Broadway version. There was supposed to be a scene like this in the original movie, but it was cut out.

So I decided to apply to university for next year, and I got an unconditional offer from my first choice uni! University was never part of my plans, and has completely changed my plans for the next few years but I'm excited.

So, I guess I'd like some advice. It's just under a year away so I don't need advice about being there yet, but more so about other things. What kind of things would you recommend I do in preparation? (I know this will be course specific, but I mean in general, if there is anything :P) Would you recommend living in halls or in private student accommodation? I don't really know what else to ask! It seems like I have so many questions but I can't think of them! :P

Pony Corral / Is there any reason why the G4 molds/designs got changed?
« on: November 23, 2014, 09:44:53 AM »
As I'm sure you've noticed, the design of the G4 toys randomly changed around a year or so ago. They have wider heads, and their bodies are made of a different kind of plastic. The hair is also made out of something else. My question is - why? The original design was much better in my opinion, and the new plastic makes them look shiny and cheap. Was there actually a reason for this happening? I saw nothing wrong with the original design. And for some reason the tails on the new toys will not get wet and so I cannot style them! (seriously, what's up with that? The water just rolls off the hair, it doesn't get wet at all).
