Found these at the Treasures Antique mall in Cookeville TN. Still a handful of MLP toys there, mostly Fireflies, a G1 pony with a missing hoof, several G3 Pinkie Pies and Rainbow Dash, and a Show Stable. Lemon Drops and Magic Star. Great condition. Applejack here on the other hand... Not a pretty sight. Some marker stains on her mouth, and there's a layer of rust coating her inside. Her washer fell out in a pile of rust and her hair is a frizzy mess. Gonna take a while to clean her up.

Considering offers on this G1 MLP carrying case. Another thrift store rescue, the glue holding the plastic sections to the case itself was filthy and falling apart. Removed with Goo Gone, and kept the plastic in place with a piece of masking tape. Decent condition otherwise, some cardboard damage and missing laminate. Also have some IDW comics featured below. -#5-8 (the Nightmare Rarity arc) -#13-14 (think it's the pirate/mermare arc) -#15-16 (bookworms) -#21-22 (something with Trixie) -#23, 24 -handful of friends forever. I apologize, right about here I gave up on gave up on describing these comics. Been years since they've seen light, kept them in bags/board and read once. Great condition at least. Make me an offer, tack on whatever it costs to ship an ~8lb package anywhere in the US and it's yours. Once again, free delivery if meeting in Cookeville TN. There's some various other comics I'll toss in for free. Various Enterplay posters: https://imgur.com/HkVAfThhttps://imgur.com/QePyromhttps://imgur.com/RM5ue2vDecent condition, considering they came folded up in the boxes/tins. I'll consider offers on said boxes/tins, no pics though. Make an offer on the posters, tack on around $8 for shipping as I'd have to buy a cardboard tube/envelope. Official Autographed cards: Series 1-4 con promos: Also entertaining the idea of selling my Enterplay MLP trading card and dog tag collection.. Not the CCG, that's Enterplay's tabletop card game. Includes all commons/foils from series 1-4 (the exception being one fan art card featuring a friends art, had him autograph it, and kept it for myself), all of the convention/event exclusive promo cards, signed by VA's of featured characters (Series 3 Pinkie/Fluttershy was personalized by Andrea, might detract the value, I can work with that). Cards have been kept in binders, frames or harder plastic sleeves. Spare cards, there's a lot of these, are kept in boxes. One of those frames has a chipped corner and is missing a screw. Cards are perfectly fine. Some cards from my series 1 collection are slightly bent inwards, been in a binder for years. Everything else should be fine. The following official autograph cards are also included: Tabitha St. Germain & Lee Tockar from the first batch, Tabitha St. Germain, Ingrid Nilson, Weird Al and Kathleen Barr from the second set. Kathleen Barr's autograph is harder to get ahold of, she rarely if at all, goes to conventions. And most of the boxes, lunchbox tins, and posters included in said boxes. Would like to sell these to a serious collector, feel free to make a reasonable offer. Not gonna go too low on a price for this entire collection. Shipping is gonna be interesting, haven't calculated that yet. Expect it to be rather high considering the weight and quantity of these items. And the fact that I intend to use plenty of packing material so nothing gets damaged in transit. Free delivery to Cookeville TN

Lets start things off with a Muffin pony mailmare pillowcase Followed by some books, a Blackjack plush and print (Signed by Somber, author of Project Horizons) Some art by the IDW comics crew. Signed up for a VIP dinner with Andy Price, Tony Fleecs, Sara Richard and Trish Forstner. Ended up not going, since there was a Roast M.A. Larson panel that I didn't want to miss. Was able to pick up the loot attendees to that dinner get: A rare art book, and a commission done by all four artists. Went with Best Mom. Also got a couple commissions from Andy Price: That larger sketch features Windy Whistles cuddling a tiny Rainbow Dash, and the other one off to the side (Harder to see unfortunately) features Bob Ross holding Fluttershy. More books, G3 Razzaroo w/ cake and some assorted G4 toys Even more books. Would've gotten more, but was only able to get to the Bronycon Bookstore in the vendor hall was on day 2, they were sold out of a lot. And the best part, plushies: AJ by EpicRainbowCrafts, with faux fur mane/tail. Sea Sailor, the Seabronies mascot. And Littlepip, Calamity and Velvet Remedy (Fallout Equestria OCs) done by Kiashone And the best thing I bought this year A 36" long Applejack by QTpony. Comes with a hat, magnetic apple, and removable socks. Adorable. Somehow I got the first spot in the day one vendor hall line. QTpony's plushies sold out fast. Bad news is, I flew to Baltimore this year, and there's no way I'm packing that AJ plush on a plane. Thankfully a friend who drove up brought a bodybag with him, and was able to smuggle said plush back to Tennessee. I'll be picking it up later. Got some more pics to upload later, I'll post em shortly after

That's all the shelf space I have for G1's. I can only go up so far, there's a pack of the Worlds Smallest ponies sitting on top of the ST Applejack. Luckily there's not much left that I don't have at this antique mall I frequent. Just a baby Firefly and a bait condition Lickety Split. Got some room for G3's still, but haven't seen much of those in the wild.

Powder, BBE Gusty, Mainsail, G2 Dainty Dove... some G2 whose symbol is a bunch of grapes. And a G4 Applejack w/ bangs. Powder's got some unpleasant scum in her mane, as well as a case of tail rust. Wonder what's growing inside her... Also found a Show Stable at that same mall, decent condition. I"ve no room in my collection for larger playsets though.

Found these in a basket full of G1 ponies at an antique mall. Are they actually G1 accessories? Worth buying?

Swarovski crystals seem to be a popular choice. Though the smallest size available on Amazon is 3-3.1mm... which appears to be exactly the same size, or maybe too big. Least when I tried to measure with a standard ruler. Will this be alright?
What color crystal is best to use? I've only got two G2s, and both seem to be some variety of pink crystals.
And how would one attach the crystals? A tiny bit of superglue?
Thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5r8_79x3Z0Just found this channel on youtube, he finds rusty antiques at junkyards and polishes them up so they're like new. Polishes whatever he can, even goes so far as to machine his own parts when needed. Love his attention to detail. And a different channel which does similar restorations, rescued an actual pony. The before/after pics of these restorations are amazing, from clumped up muddy hair to a very beautiful animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pylD-QCHfNs

Current project: G1 Windy & Ruby Lips, G2 McD Sundance, Ursa Major Love it when a pony's hair ends up perfectly smooth and silky. Baby Moony came out beautiful, though her neck glue crumbled. Took her apart to check for filth, but she was clean. Lofty was decent enough, a couple smudges on her flocking, and some missing on her wings and tips of hooves. Party Time's tail ended up frizzy, not too concerned about that. This is the best I could do with the rusty scum inside G3 Scootaloo. Still some left, though much better than before. There she is, cleaned up and good to go. Zip ties on her tail, yanked it through with some fishing line. Had to soften up her plastic with a hair dryer so I could put her back together. Overall I'm content with how she turned out. Previous projects: G1 Moondancer, TE Fizzy and G2 Morning Glory Before: After: Fizzy definitely failed the white cloth test, the others weren't too bad. Hair wasn't terrible, though I don't have the tools to make it perfectly smooth and straight. Just conditioner and a comb. Moondancer's either an italian variant or a factory defect, her symbols aren't symmetrical. G3 Scootaloo, TE Party Time, SS Lofty, Baby Moondancer Before: Not too bad on the outside. Scootaloo has it rough unfortunately, be warned when opening the following spoiler tags That mess is everywhere inside her body/head. Can't easily get a pipe cleaner in the harder to reach spots to clean her out, every reasonably mild cleaning method I tried (Vinegar and baking soda, Oxiclean), that rusty stuff won't budge. The worst is her tail. Wasn't much left to her tail washer and clamp. Turned the water a thick shade of brown when soaked in oxiclean, still having to scrape bits of clamp off. I can smooth out her tail eventually, and have some spare zip ties in place of metal components. After:

Probably around 3-4 dozen MLP toys from every generation. Found at the Treasures/Antiques mall on Jefferson avenue. Didn't have a chance to buy any or go for a more in depth look as I had to get to work. Saw a couple G2's, thought they were fakies at first until I noticed the (c)1997 Hasbro stamped on their hooves. Mostly G1's featured in that pic, there were some G3 and G4 toys on another shelf that I didn't get a pic of. Going back today to grab a few.

https://www.deviantart.com/calusariac/art/OC-Knoxie-the-batpony-757477428Knoxie, a batpony based off of Knoxville TN. Color scheme from the local sports teams and the Sunsphere for a cutie mark. I've a soft spot for bat ponies, I love their tiny fangs and tufts of hair on their ears. Really soft minky too, and the ears are even 3d.

All the plushies I bought. Everyone fought over EquestriaPlush on Friday and I went went straight for EpicRainbowCrafts. Picked up Bright Mac and Pear Butter, cause you can't get one without the other. Also picked up Snowdrop, Mona Pia (SophieScruggs OC) and seapony AJ. A Fallout Equestria blanket. I had to lay it over the Project Horizons blanket I picked up at Babscon earlier this year. All the prints Sadly next year's the last bronycon, will be one of the last times I'll do something like this. I'm gonna go sit down and hug my plushies now...

Thinking about upgrading, I've been carrying around a flip-phone for a while. Anyone got any recommendations on which carrier to go with?
-Aside from the cost of the hardware and accessories, I shell out around $120 a year with Tracfone. Might as well be unlimited talk/text considering how rarely I use it, I've got more minutes than I use. -In terms of data plans, occasional facebook/discord use, probably a World of Warcraft app, light browsing, and rarely a GPS app if I ever go out of state. -I'd prefer to avoid contracts if possible.
Thanks

Got back from Everfree NW yesterday. Got pics with Ashleigh Ball, Bill Newton and DustyKatt. Bought a handful of plushies and a couple wall scrolls. That Marina mascot plush is adorable! And those Celestia & Luna scrolls are amazing as well. Overall I had a mellow pleasant time at Everfree. Nothing too exciting, attended the usual VIP guest panels, stayed up till midnight playing Buck Legacy. If I end up here next year, there's a restaurant called Dukes Chowderhouse a short shuttle ride from the con venue. Had some delicous chowder and a macadamia encrusted chunk of halibut. Any Seattle residents or visitors ever been there? Only regret, I wasn't able to get deeper into Seattle. Traffic was rough, train rides took too long and Hiring an uber looked too pricey. Would've liked to get a few pics of the ocean.
