Pony Brag Arena / Early birthday ponies~
« on: April 12, 2014, 09:36:45 AM »
So... it's almost my birthday ! And I wanted to buy at least one pony~ I ended up buying more, but I'll update this once they are here.

So far, Princess Brilliant Bloom ! Bought her on Ebay.

She has a few tiny flaws and her mechanism doesn't work anymore, but she is so lovely ! The only thing I though was quite plain was her gem, so I blinged it with nail polish~ Now it matches her tinsel~

There's three more ponies to come, all G3s. There's Henna Toola Roola from the lovely Sundown and this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121312880209?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649. This means I have the complete Henna ponies !! :D

I'll update this in due time, when they arrive~ :D

Baby Moondancer I got from bootie1978 ages ago ! I decided to make her even prettier by dressing her up in that random thing I have here xD

So cuuuuuuuute !! :D

Blue Belle I got from Orbital Comics store in London ! D: I was about to leave when I looked at some collectibles they had on display and I saw her. I never thought I'd find a pony in a comic shop. They also had a G3, but she was common and overpriced.

Recently, got her from where I work ! Hooray for staff discounts xD

I still cannot believe I found this at a carboot sale for £5... Sure, it's not complete and there's some random stuff thrown there but... MY CHILDHOOD !! Biker Mice from Mars !!! :'D The girl who was selling this was so nice ! She was surprised to find someone who actually knew what these were xD Also, please forgive the head-tiltness of this photo lol.

Lastly, guess who found his way to my place :p

Pony Corral / UK peeps !! TY Beanies at Ryman !!
« on: January 30, 2014, 10:39:04 AM »
Hey guys !

For all the UKers, there are TY beanies at Ryman shops. Don't know if you knew about this already, but since I work there, I just thought I'd give you a heads up ! There are Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy (small ones) and Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack (medium size), £6.99 the small and £9.99 the bigger ones. The medium ones and small Fluttershy are recent (just got them yesterday on delivery).

Needless to say, I bought a medium Rarity. Hooray for staff discounts :D

Pony Brag Arena / Huge overdue brag !! D:>
« on: December 14, 2013, 06:12:41 AM »
I was supposed to have done about 3 brags already... but I had no time !!  :blink:

So ! Let's see...


I went crazy this time. I really went bananas. Prepare for huge brag post of Doom !!!

--

I bought a bundle on Ebay, so that I could keep some and give the others to a friend for Christmas. So ! out of that bundle I got...

Brights Brightly ! :D

I'm so happy to finally have more G3 unicorns !! They are something else, indeed.

--

Then, I found a really cheap BIN on Ebay for G3 Henna Cheerilee, so I snagged her while she was still available:

Now I am only missing Toola Roola and Pinkie Pie to complete this set ! Unbelievable !! :D

--

About two weeks ago, I went with my friend to the usual carboot sales, looking for toys. And, DAYUM GURL, was it worth it !!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I may not have the pony Punzie... but I got this one !! She is the 2010 Animator Doll version. It took me about 40 minutes (!) to take care of her hair, but boy was it worth it. She is lovely !! I've always wanted to have an Animator Doll, and this one cost me £5.

Duck !! I had some spare Build-a-Bear clothes, so I decided to dress her up.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I FOUND ONE !!! I've always wanted to find one of these at a carboot sale, and it happened !!! I was so happy at the time I nearly screamed :frolic: And my boyfriend named her Katie :lovey:

McDonalds Moose !! :D I remember a friend of mine had one of these when we were kids.

This poor little thing was all alone... So cute... She still looks a bit dirty, but she is all washed.

Cute tin to keep some jewellery in~

I found this at a new carboot sale/market for baby stuff. There was nothing interesting besides this. I find this so cool ! It's a money bank :D

Despite all this, I got more stuff that is now for sale on my Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fmvsousastuff Take a look if you want~

I also found these little guys when I went with my boyfriend to show him what carboot sales were all about.

--

And after waiting for a full year (!) to get her... I FINALLY bought Catrine !!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


FINALLY I HAVE MONEY TO BUY THESE THINGS ONCE IN A WHILE. ARGH !! I took her out of the box already, bit I'll take pics later when I fix her hair (so much glue D: ).

To top this all up, I am waiting for a lovely Baby Moondancer from a member here :) I'll make a proper brag when I get her~



PS: Photobucket is being dumb as usual. Please forgive the sideways pics  -_-

Wanted! / All I want for Christmas...
« on: November 16, 2013, 06:34:11 AM »
... is Baby Moondancer !  :biggrin:

If anyone has one for sale, let me know. She doesn't need to be absolutely perfect: as long as she displays well, I'm good with any flaws really. Just please show me a pic or two :)

Also, I would prefer someone based in the UK for shipping costs, thanks !

PS: If you don't have her, I can consider Baby Glory...  ;)

Pony Brag Arena / UK PonyCon Stuff~
« on: September 10, 2013, 03:54:11 AM »
I got new ponies !! :D

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The first one I got was Rollerskate Hip Hop ! She is a set completer !! :D She is in awesome shape despite her missing wheel and not working anymore. Her hair is so incredibly silky. I was really hoping I could find her in the con, so I was quite satisfied.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The second one I went searching for and a CHILDGOOD GRAIL !! She is in immaculate condition and has both her jewels in her eyes ! Also one I was hoping to find there.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


The second hair-do pony I got. Funny fact: I hadn't noticed she was missing her bow when I bought her ! She also had some trims, I think, but I laughed so much when I noticed her bow was missing xD Doesn't really bother me much, she is still lovely <3 ALSO, CHILDHOOD GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL !! Now I am only missing Starlight !! :D

I liked the fact that most the G3s were actually quite cheap. Precious Gem was a pony I've been having my eyes on because... THAT HAIR, GURL !! She also came with two of her accessories, which is awesome. She is also brand new !

Sapphire Shores is beautiful in person. She came with her backcard and her brush <3

Petal Blossom has my favourite colour combo AND huge hair ! Another pony I've been wanting for a while now.

After going around and around looking at ponies and not being sure what else to buy, I decided to search for a pony that I wasn't planning to buy at all but that would appeal to me in person. I was searching for that pony until I found Locket.

Normally, I am not a fan of TEs... But I've looked at her online several times and the more I looked at her, the more she appealed to me... And then I saw her in person and just had to buy her.

She is lovely. Her hair is quite frizzy and has some trims. She also has some marks here and there and her eyes had lost the twinkle ! However, I washed her, conditioned her hair and braided it. She now looks super sweet !

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I also applied a bit of nail polish on her eyes to give her a different kind of twinkle... She looks stunning like that and the photo doesn't do her justice.

The last pony I bought. I wanted to buy a baby G1 since I don't have a lot of babies yet, but I wasn't sure which to buy (Baby Count-a-Lot was lovely !). I ended up liking how shiny and unusual she looked, so she came home with me !


That's all, folks ! I am a happy panda with all the ponies I got :)

Off Topic / Cuddlebrite, FSF, Skydancer Bottle and Keyper PC please !!
« on: August 08, 2013, 02:59:49 PM »
I went with ichigobean to a couple of carboot sales last Saturday morning and I found awesome stuff !! I already made a brag post, but I am copying part of it here so I can get a better chance of a price check:

A Cuddlebrite !! I didn't even know what these were, but she looked like something worth it and that is the main reason why I bought her in the first place xD I am looking to sell this lovely doggy, does anyone have a price check for me? :) I cleaned her with a towel and soap and she looks much whiter now.

She only has a couple of pen marks on her foot...

... and an eye scratch.

I am not sure if her fibre optics were cut or not, does anyone know?

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


All the whiteness ! I tried turning it on, and it work ! I didn't take a pic of it, though, but she does work. Her light wasn't constant, though... is it supposed to happen or does it need to change to bulb?

Again, please help me with a price check for this girl, as I want to sell her as fast as I can :)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Fashion Star Filly ! I never thought I'd find one. I always had the feeling they were about the size of a Barbie horse, so I was quite surprised to find that they are much smaller. This lady is quite beaten up: chew marks, a massive haircut... I would love if she went to the hands of a lovely collector who isn't picky... How much do you think she is worth in this condition? Also, who the hell is she? xD

A Keyper !!! My goodness... Another thing I never thought I'd find. She has some surface dirt, a few marks here and there, her hair is frizzy but very soft now and she is quite sunfaded... She is Frisky the Dog, apparently, and she seems to be rare... Price check on her please?

She still closes, though ! :D

I didn't know about this at all. It seems to be a shampoo bottle or something. The cap was shoved inside the top, but my boyfriend's ninja skills got it off. Should I try glue it back or sell it as it is? It's also faded, but is quite clean now. Also, seems legit LOL Price check?

Pony Corral / MLPs at Selfridges !!
« on: August 08, 2013, 01:00:44 AM »
They opened a toys section and I went there to check yesterday on my break (I work for a concession inside it). From what I remember, they had:

- Wedding Castle
- Walking Talking Pinkie
- Talking Cadence
- Masquerade Ponies (including tons of Sunset Shimmer!)
- Crystal Empire 2-Pack Sets
- The new alicorn Twilight and Cadence Fashion Style
- Design-a-Pony Fluttershy (I think that's the name of the set? The ones you colour the hair?) I think they only had Fluttershy, but I might be wrong.
- Train Set
- Alicorn Twilight Princess Room
- Probs more, but I can't remember

ALSO ! They had...

... Equestria Girls Dolls !!! :D It was my first time seeing them in person. I must say, I think they are really cheap-looking, specially the way the plastic accessories are painted... I'll wait to see what Hasbro will come up with next, but for now I am not interested in them.

On the other hand, I think Applejack turned out adorable (those freckles !!)

So, I thought I'd share ! :D If you go there, make sure to pop by Artbox in the ground floor and if you see a girl with glasses working there, do say hi ;)

Pony Brag Arena / Carboot Sales SCORE !!

I went with ichigobean to a couple of carboot sales last Saturday morning and I found awesome stuff !! Including ponies !! YES !!

Daddy Bright Bouquet !! I still can't believe I found G1s !! :D He has head and body mismatch and a few marks, but he cleaned up nicely and he looks lovely ! Now Daddy Apple Delight has someone to drink beer and watch soccer matches with.

Lickety Split ! Her head looks a bit black, so I am assuming she might be disgusting inside. Her hair is also completely white, so I imagine her as a very fashionable and modern grandma.

Royalette ! I love this girl here. She has some marks here and there and it seems like someone wanted her to have lipstick xD But she is lovely and her hair is so smooth now... Also, love the pose.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Guava Lava !! She is prettier in person than I thought she would be, really. Again, marks in some places, but she is so cute !

Now, for non-pony stuff...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


There was a lady selling TONS of junk ! Really, it was just amazing. She had a whole box of Beanie Babies and me and ichigobean were both going through it, in hopes of finding something cool (she did get three pastel multi-coloured ones !) I didn't want to bring a lot of them home, so I was in love with these when I saw them and I just had to bring them with me. It's Early the Robin and Chip the Cat ! They are now peacefully resting on top of my monitor :D

I really want to go. I am just wondering if anyone is going from London like me? :D I'm also going alone, so if anyone is going from this forum, I want to meet you !! Otherwise it will be a bit boring and I'll feel a bit forever alone there xD

Off Topic / Sweet Ebay Story <3
« on: July 09, 2013, 02:18:30 AM »
You know Humanity is not lost when you sell something on Ebay and the person who bought it wants to send that item as a gift to someone who is undergoing an operation <3 Isn't that just awesome ? :D

I usually sell my own personal items, such as clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, etc. About 3 weeks ago, I went to my first carboot sale and put some collectible toys that I found up for sale, one of them being a Patamon (Digimon character) beanie plush. Yesterday, I got a message from a guy asking if I could end the auction early, as he wanted to give that as a gift for someone who is going into surgery soon. As I had relisted that item not long ago and there was only one bid - his own - I decided to sell the item to him. He seemed really grateful and paid right away. Later, he asked me if I could include a get well soon message on behalf of him in the parcel. And after this, well, I decided to go all out and gift wrap the beanie and include one of my own handmade cards with the message, all at not extra cost and because I thought it would be a nice touch. Once I told the guy about all this, he was so happy he even said to keep in touch if I ever had trouble selling anything, because he could see if he needed it.

This just made my day. I just came back from the Post Office, it's a beautiful day outside and my mood is just over the Moon ! :D I have a few other stories that made me really glad as well, some of them happened here in the Arena, but I just had to share this one <3

Do you have any stories like this happen to you? Care to share the love? :D
