Pony Corral / help with weird first tooth pillow?
« on: June 26, 2014, 01:42:45 PM »
I'm getting things ready for the fair, sorting thru accessories, and I came across this odd tooth pillow:  the fabric doesn't match the regular ones!  The fabric is very familiar, too; does anyone know where this could be from? 

At first I thought it came with the Mexican FT babies, but it isn't from there...

woohoo!!!  I still can't believe I won her; I thought she'd go for WAY more than she did,  I've been nervous all week waiting for her to come, but now she's here and I can show her off properly!

She's been my dream grail since I started collecting the white Blue Belles, not that I even knew if one existed...but if it did, I wanted it, haha!  Her bubble is pretty yellowed, but she's the only one ever found.  She has some blue around the base of her tail, but as far as I can tell, that's it.

MLP Nirvana / Ft pillow, Mexican? Argie? Help and PC please!
« on: June 22, 2014, 10:16:40 AM »
I found this odd tooth pillow in my accessories pile, does anyone know if it is Mexican?  Or did argue baby FT come with one?  If it is, what should i ask for it at the fair, any ideas?  Haha its distracting me from pricing and sorting!  Maybe it is just a home made one... Sorry the pic is big, I am on a tablet. :blush:

Price Check Archives / FF Cotton Candy question...
« on: June 04, 2014, 03:44:38 PM »
Does yours have white or pink spots?  I'be been cleaning ponies for the fair, and I came across a FF Cotton Candy with pink spots! :shocked:  I could swear there was a thread on this, but a search didn't find it...

My real question is, since she has pink spots but no tail, should I put her with my $2 baits or set her with the variants(at the same price)?

Wanted! / Playset pieces!
« on: May 23, 2014, 08:59:35 AM »
I'm looking for the Paradise Estate courtyard, pool, and shade; I won the rooms on ebay, and picked up a bagful of the furniture at my local flea, so now I just need the center!(and lots of the small stuff, but I want the building complete before I worry about that!)

I'm also looking for the upper left door to Megan's Place. :)

Pony Corral / How do you price them?
« on: May 22, 2014, 01:03:59 PM »
So, what do you consider an appropriate price cut for a haircut? Not like completely chopped off, but say, a long haired pony with a shorter hair cut, like newborn twins who should have the longer hair, but have hair the same length as the ones with short manes?

Are haircuts a big deal, a Nope not worth buying kind of thing, or do you have a more who cares, it's still cute attitude?

Price Check Archives / PC please: rainbow 2007 rerelease set?
« on: May 02, 2014, 03:20:21 PM »
I've tried searching here and in completed items on eBay, but I can't seem to find a good price for these!  I have both of the rainbow sets MIB, one has a rip in the plastic.  I also have some of the 2007 ones loose?

I'm guessing $7-10 each for the loose ones, but the MIB ones, anyone have a guess?

Please and thank you for the help! :)

Price Check Archives / PC: MOC Snuzzle
« on: March 20, 2014, 11:27:56 AM »
Now that I won and paid for her, I'd like to know what a MOC Concave Foot Snuzzle is worth!  The bubble is yellowed and the backcard is the same as the FF version.

Customs / G1 unicorn Luna(custom army swap)
« on: March 11, 2014, 09:36:56 PM »
I made a G1 bride pony into a season 1 based Luna for Midnight_Dream in the custom army swap, this was the first time I've done any sculpting.  I tried to do wings, too, but those are still beyond me!

Her body color is hand mixed, using metallic red, blue, and green to give her just the right shade(in shade, she looks dark grey, and more grey-purple in sunlight). She was sealed with Mod Podge, and rehaired  with a mix of retrodoll and dollyhair(the dark sections are Deep Sea, it's GORGEOUS!), and I may just have to make one for myself eventually.  I used dark wire around the base of her tail and to hold her braid; I really like how elegant it made her look, very princess-ish, hehe.

Her eyeshadow came out a bit messy, but at that point I was afraid to do much touch up on her; I had already mixed more of her main body color, and matched it, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to a second time!

Wanted! / Blue Belle merch/shirts!
« on: December 02, 2013, 03:33:02 PM »
I'm looking for any Blue Belle shirts, either regular G1 designs or the G2 ones(I've seen 2 different cut sweatshirts with this design, and a tshirt).  Preferably in a large/XL, but depending on price I might be interested in smaller ones that I could turn into purses or pillows, haha. I have only one Blue Belle shirt, and it's way too small for me.

I'm also interested in any merch with Blue Belle on it, anything I do not have

Vintage G1 I have: 
the stamp by itself
the stamper set

and in the G2 design I have: (these are all used and I'll buy upgrades for all of these!)
shoe laces
Nokia phone pouch
patch
wrist wrap

I am pretty sure there are more things out there with the G2 design, it was used back in 2003-2005 when the vintage stuff showed up in hot topic like crazy.  I know some of the other shoelace designs are on lanyards, at least!  I believe the G2 design was used by loungefly.

I have paypal from an account, and I always pay within a day or two of agreeing to purchase.  If for some reason it'll be longer, I'll make sure to say so *before* we finalize the deal!

I won a couple of baby ponies on ebay, and the shipping was $6.35, which sadly, is about normal any more.  I pay, and when they arrive, they cost the seller a whole $1.25 to ship first class, so I paid five times the actual shipping cost!  I was irritated, but I wanted to give the seller a chance, so I emailed them.

Hi, I received the ponies yesterday, and was curious why shipping was only $1.25 when I was charged $6.35? I wouldn't ask if it were only a dollar or so difference, but when I'm charged five times the amount, I feel like I have to ask.

and they replied right away:

Dear lunar_scythe,

I could not print my label from ebay. I have trouble with paypal. I ended up shipping first class at the self serve post machine to make sure you got your item.

Is it just me or does it sound like they are trying to say that since they had to ship it at the post office I should be grateful they did?  I'm not sure if their email came off as rude, or maybe it's just abrupt, and I'm over reacting?

I'm trying to decide if I should be more blunt and straight out ask for a partial refund($3, which still leaves them $2.10 over the actual cost), or give it up as a lost cause and leave a positive, but with only 3 or 4 stars for shipping.  I know how important stars are to a seller, but if a seller charges 5 times the shipping cost, I don't feel like I need to do them any favors...

Pony Brag Arena / fall finds: G1, G3 and G4 awesomeness!
« on: October 09, 2013, 01:40:31 AM »
I've kind of been on a pony rampage the last few weeks, so I thought I'd come share the loot!

First up is a custom styling size I made and got it autographed by Fall Out Boy at their concert, the airbrushed eye Italy Blue Belle I got from SoSilver to add to my army, and an ebay steal:  FF Peachy for $2.99!(she was listed as FF Snuzzle)

These all came from the trip to the Fall Out Boy concert in San Francisco, I found the 3 TYs that are out now on Pier 39(I haven't seen them around here at all), and a backpack I had never seen before, in a tiny little shop by fisherman's warf!  It looks kind of funny, Rainbow Dash's head is attached toward one side so she looks over your shoulder!

I didn't spend hardly anything at the concert, so when I got home, I went shopping to take full advantage of the BOGO50% off sale, and use my Hot Topic cash:

And then I got a big lot off ebay with some adorable cuties in it, and G3s that still have the plastic in their hair!

Port-o-bella is pretty cool, but I wanted the plushies!  I already had Rainbow Dash, so now she has her friends!

I just want to share pics of my whole army, I know some of you at the fair were surprised when I told you I'd only brought a small part of it. :)

This is a shot of ALL of my army, from artwork and customs to regular and nirvana, with white ones leading:

 I'm afraid to try to remove the last of the yellow marks left o. The baby, I'm afraid I'll cause more damage to her symbols!

I'm going thru my playsets to see how complete my extras are, and I noticed something odd: I have 2 pretty parlors with their boxes, but one has no UPC on it. This one also has no pony points on it, either.

Does anyone else have one like this? I'm trying to figure out if it came with a regular peachy or flat foot peachy, so I can put the right one with it. :)

Also, I'm not going to complain about prices any more. This was marked at $11.97, back when minimum wage was $3.35.  That means this playset was half a days work!
