a senior citizen discount at Savers.  Not sure if I should be happy  about that or sad  but either way no denying today is my Birthday and I have hit the big double nickle or speed limit one!

So who is partying with me today?  Well partying with me when I get back from work that is.

If so quick question - saw a bagful at our local thrift but am not familiar with em so did not pick em up.  Do they resell well?  Are folks looking for even common ones and any ID sites?  This is the first time we have really seem in one bag, we see once in a while in mixed bags, but first time just Zelfs.  I know Cleocat is sort after, heck the imp wants one if we find it (love all things Egyptian) but no clue on the rest of em.

Okay so I used to be a brags mod so you would think I would be better at remembering to brag and or take pictures so I could brag, but yeah no!  I have to admit last year was a super year for us for finding things at the local thrift stores and well we have some high lights from many of our (and when I say our for new members I collect with my daughter Clonecommander) collections.  Missing are the tons of Legos we managed to score and all the odd extra MLP, MH, Clones or Breyers.  Just gonna hit the highlight reel!  LOL

First up, the child's, oh wait she is 18 so I guess young ladies MLP Baby Pony Grail Baby Squirmy!   Sadly in need of tail (nudge, hint) but other wise a super little guy she has always wanted.  Found hiding in the middle of a bag of G1's.  Oh and some of her buddies from that bag that we did not have.

Now this gal is not one I ever thought I would find, and while she needs some love for her hair, she is still a super find for us and a must have for our MLP collection!  Funny thing is I was just thinking about My Pretty Pony a few days before we found her.  I was walking around with her tucked very securely under my arm the whole time we where in the store.

Okay in the Breyer area besides scoring like crazy at Fest we have found tons of stuff last year - lots of it bodies, but some of it awesome.  Like this fellow who is one of the best, and one of my favorite models in one of my favorite finishes, Glossy to the max!

And for the MH collection - well before my daughter admitted she liked them I had found a Holt Hyde sig doll and sold it on ebay.  Well fast forward two years and look who we found - another Holt Hyde and this time he got wrapped up and give to her for the holidays.  Also with him is a sig Duce and she just fell in love with Lagonna so she got hang out too!  Kind of a grail of hers to get another.  And now I do not feel bad about selling that first one.

Need some help with an ID - apologies for some of the picture quality, the first day we saw this duck I had forgotten to put my daughters card back in her camera so shot on memory and since it was almost full the camera automatically lowered the settings.  The second day we saw em it was drizzling.  We have not seen it since but would still love to try and figure out who it was - I am leaning towards some kind of funky cross.

And now for someone else a bit different - as far as we can figure it is a Canadian X Domestic Goose cross!  The first one I have ever seen and I have been birding for years (and years)

Thanks for looking!

Holy cow where did the time go my sweet girl!  Hard to believe today is your day!  Happy 18th Birthday my daughter, I hope it is as wonderful as you are.  I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished, here is to so many more wonderful things!

The stuff looks especially since there are many model horse customizing techniques that use powders not paint.

Title says it all - those that sell on both how do they compare for your fixed price items?  Fees, actual sales, etc.

Anyone ever tried dying on of the translucent type pony bodies on the inside?

You know like the G1 and G3 Sparkle ponies.
