Off Topic / Meet your new Princess - Update: TOYS & TRAILER
« on: May 18, 2018, 12:59:47 PM »
I was on the fence when I heard about the She-Ra reboot, with all the weird reincarnations and animation styles nowadays, but this teaser is getting me excited...

Notice the subtitle... Plural??  :dropjaw:

Customs / acetone effect on pony *Updated July 8th: G3 pony*
« on: May 12, 2018, 06:20:09 AM »
Has anyone ever tried to grow a pony to twice its size by dunking it in pure acetone? It's supposed to work because of the soft plastic, but a quick google search shows me that all people seem to use acetone for is *shrink* soft plastic (usually doll heads).

I got a bait Peachy, prepped to be dunked in acetone, but I'm not sure I want to go through the hastle if the effect isn't really all that noticeable (or is the opposite). I haven't bought the acetone just yet.

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Toys as investment?
« on: May 05, 2018, 06:23:26 AM »
I've met someone who made a hobby (and a lucrative business apparently) out of buying large Lego sets new in store, tuck them safely away in the attic, for the sole purpose of selling them a few years later for of course a much higher price. It's not a collection, not meant for play, but only to be sold later on.

I'm definitely not considering doing this, but I am curious how risky it is as an investment method. Does anyone here do that (with any other toyline you are not personally interested in) or know someone who does?

The crazy prices on ebay for the 35th anniversary ponies made me think of this guy's Lego investment hobby. The people snatching up the Bridge Direct ponies only to make money off of them on ebay clearly are trying to make a buck while the toys are still "hot" and don't seem to have much faith in their future value.

Pony Brag Arena / latest addition!

TAF Buttons. I haven't received her yet, but couldn't wait to share the excitement  :biggrin:!

That's one of my favorite poses, and the color combination is really refreshing. She looks quite stunning in the pics. The slight head/body mismatch won't be too noticeable on the display side I hope. The hair seems to mask it well.

Introductions / Hello everyone :)
« on: April 28, 2018, 06:36:27 AM »
Long time lurker, first time poster  ^.^

I'm from Europe, and I just turned 40 this month. I work in finance and I dabble in display/diorama design as a hobby - among other things.

I collect only G1 but I do love all gens. I'm a rather picky collector, mint or near mint only  :biggrin: I've been tempted to start a MOC collection, but so far I've been able to subdue that desire; not sure I could keep them locked behind plastic for a long time...

Thank you and see you around on the boards  :P

Off to the Corral!
