Pony Corral / This is devestating =(
« on: August 07, 2012, 09:21:40 AM »
I'm finally starting to go through my ponies and set them up since my Ponyroom is taking shape. This should be a very happy moment for me since this is something I've been wanting for most of my life.

However, during all those years that I couldn't have my ponies on display I put a big chunk of my MIB G3's in big movingboxes in our basement. This basement was broken into 5 years ago and the ones who had broken in had left such a mess there. I went through all the stuff that was left that was associated with my collections because many of the boxes had been stepped on etc. and I had to put it all into new boxes.
I never did a complete inventory then because of several reasons. For one thing I didn't have enough room to do so, I was heartbroken at the time and barely wanted to look at the mess, there was way too much to go through to even have time for it and so forth.

Now I do have the time though and I've been going through everything. And the more I went through, the more I realized was missing. Checking my old checklists I've discovered so far that 2 of 3 ponies from the first winter series is gone, all ponies from the second winter series, 3 of 4 of the disney princess ponies, the easter egg Buttershotch and Pinkie Pie - and this is just the start of it :cry:

I just feel so heartbroken at the moment. Just like I did 5 years ago right after it happend. That was one of the reasons I stopped collecting back then and right now I just feel just about ready to give up once more :(

Off Topic / For all Disney lovers
« on: August 06, 2012, 07:05:00 AM »
I'm not sure if this has been posted about, if people already are aware or whatever. But I just wanted to share this with all fellow Disney lovers on this board :)

I've always loved this painter and he has done some AMAZING Disney paintings. They've also been made into several other items since all of his stuff is beeing mass-produced.
Unfortunatly though there will be no more beautiful Disney paintings from him since he died in April this year =/

But I figured I'd share this anyway :)

Pony Corral / What would you do...
« on: August 06, 2012, 05:57:49 AM »
What would you do if you ended up having every single MLP ever made, all accessories - well everything! What do you think you would do in that case?

Not that I think it ever will happen to the majoirty of us considering how much is actually out there with Nirvanas beeing discovered every day, the loads of accessories, the price of the MOC's and new ponies beeing released all the time.
So this question is very hypothetical :P

Personaly I think I would start collecting gorgeous customs cuz' let's face it. There's never gonna be an end to that XD
What would you do if you ever ended up with everything MLP ever made? :)

Off Topic / Hard decition to make - please help
« on: August 05, 2012, 02:01:10 PM »
This is nothing serious what so ever, but I still need help in making a decition.

I'm currently working on my collectionroom/My Little Pony room. And just as I feard it's never gonna fit all my MLP's, Care Bears, Barbies, Disney Fairies and Bratz >.< Obviously it's firstly a My Little Pony room. They are all going up no matter what - even if I have to build an extention to the room which I'm probably not allowed to do since this is a flat XD

The room has one big built in closet though where I can fit one of my other toy collections. The question is - and the hard decition is - which one should I choose? Care Bears, Bratz or Barbies and Disney Fairies?

Pony Corral / Why do I torture myself? :(
« on: August 05, 2012, 12:58:25 PM »
I don't have anymore spending money this month on ponies, yet I keep looking at all sorts of sites where they sell ponies. The Arena sales threads, Ebay, Etsy, Bonanza, Taobao and so forth and I find sooo much that I would love to get my hands on.

Why oh WHY am I torturing myself like this? Anyone else find themselves doing this too or is it just me? >.< And if you do, how do you manage to controll yourself cuz' I don't know if I can lol.

Wanted! / Birthday Wishes - G1 Playsets
« on: August 05, 2012, 03:21:34 AM »
Normally I'd just update my regular wishlist and bump it, but this is sort of on behalf on my family members :P

My Birthday is comming up in the end of August and there are 3 specific items I would really like. And my family members promised me - that if I find someone who is willing to sell these items or if I find them on Ebay I can buy them and they will give me money for it so that it technically becomes B-day presents from them :)

What I'm looking for is: Lullaby Nursery, Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe and Perm Shoppe with as many accessories as possible. The more the better :P

If anyone have any of these and are willing to sell them to me and ship it to Sweden then please send me a PM :)

MLP Nirvana / The condition of Nirvanas
« on: July 31, 2012, 07:14:55 AM »
I don't know if you can call this a rant or just an observation or what :P

But everytime I browse through Nirvana ponies on Ebay they are most often in pretty bad condition. Hair cut or faded, symbols/eyes etc. almost gone, increadibly dirty and so forth... Ok, so alot of it can be taken care of quite easily, but still...

It seems impossible to find a Nirvana pony in good condition. Just always wondered why on earth the Nirvanas always seem to be in such terrible shape =/
Or is it just me with bad luck?

MLP Nirvana / Truly Variants?
« on: July 29, 2012, 02:36:33 PM »
I'm an absolute sucker for Truly :) I have no idea why to be honest, but I am XD

I know of the SS version and the NSS version. And if I'm not mistaken there's an Argentina version of her aswell?

Anyone know if there are there more versions of her than those? And also, please show pictures of any Truly you have :D Wanna drool some ;)

« on: July 29, 2012, 02:13:30 PM »
I'll be going through and setting up all my ponies soon and I know for a fact that a bunch of them have frizzy hair.

So my question is, what is the best way to fix this and make it all smooth n shiny again? And do keep in mind I'm a nervous nelly :P I wouldn't dare to go near my ponies with one of those flattening irons (not sure what you call it). I don't even own one XD

So besides that, what are your suggestions? :)

Pony Corral / White Fashion Style Celestia?
« on: July 26, 2012, 04:57:06 PM »
I was searching Taobao as usual when I ran into a Fashion Style lot that happend to have this:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login



So my question is... Is this another random pony made up by the workers at the Hasbro factory or do you think we can actually expect to see a White Fashion Style Princess Celestia at some point?

Trader & Shipping Support / Personal Pony Shopper (In The US)
« on: July 22, 2012, 03:50:41 AM »
I'm not really sure where to post this, but I hope this is the right place :)

I'm looking for a personal My Little Pony shopper located in USA. Hunting MLP's is not always an easy task when you're living far, far away from where the majority of things are beeing sold :P


And instead of asking different people for help everytime an exclusive is released I was hoping to get in touch with a friendly person in USA who's interested in beeing a personal MLP shopper for a while at least :)

What I need help with would be such things as:

* Getting Target exclusives since we don't have Target in Sweden.
* Getting Toys R Us exclusives since our TRU doesn't carry those :(
* Accepting items bought from Ebay from sellers who doesn't ship worldwide and pass it on to me.
* If you're a Fair-goer, help with picking up the Fair exclusives since I most likely won't make it to the Fairs or SDCC in the US anytime soon =/

I will of course return favours when I can such as picking up International exclusives and things sold here that might not be available in the US. For example, at the moment I can get a hold of Raritys Carriage with Star Swirl and Wave 4 Glittery Blind Bags.

If anyone would be interested in this sort of comitment then please send me a PM and hopefully we can work things out that both find convinient and satesfying :)

Pony Corral / Jumbo Pinkie Pie Question
« on: July 20, 2012, 01:50:07 PM »
I've spotted a few Jumbo Pinkie Pie plushies on Ebay and I'm so tempted to get her because I just adore Pinkie.
However, in neither listing it sais how big she actually is. I've tried finding facts on MyLittleWiki and other various sites but always come up empty handed.

So does anyone here know exactly how big this gal is? Preferibly in cm's or I'll have to use an inch to cm calculator XD Which is fine :P I'm just lazy ;)
