« on: September 18, 2021, 06:45:35 PM »
Anyone here collect Disney Cars?  Today I found not one, but two Damaged Mood Springs, MOC for $7.50 each.  Online it says he is one of the hardest to find and one of the most sought after Cars characters. 
Some have been selling for $400!!!!
I'm rich!

Pony Corral / Wedding Bells Confetti *now with pic*
« on: July 17, 2021, 02:18:10 PM »
Have you ever wondered who Wedding Bells Confetti would be marrying?

Some of you here know I like to draw, so I was trying to create a bride and groom piece of Confetti and her would be groom.

I created a white, rainbow pony unicorn.  I wanted him to compliment Confetti, so I gave him blue and silver streamers.  They look dull in my picture, but imagine them metallic blue and silver glitter like on real rainbow ponies.  Also, sorry my dark pink hair scanned purple in the photo so it doesn't really match the 2nd set rainbows.   But I don't want to name him something dumb like Streamer.  I was going with Ticker Tape Parade, or Ticker for short.  But there are two problems.
1.  His streamers looked like Windy's symbol turned sideways.
2.  Ticker, though I like it, may not be any better a name then Streamer to some.  Most you young folk wouldn't know the reference either.

So I've been trying different celebratory items and names.  Many ponies already have that market cornered:  Baby Celebrate, Surprise, the Celebration family, Happy glow and Party Time with their party hats. 

Who would you marry Confetti off to?

Off Topic / Funny pony collector story
« on: June 25, 2021, 05:17:34 PM »
I've never met another pony collector in real life.  I've been too nervous to attend pony meets, even ones very close to me.  I feel I don't fit in. 
Well, watching facebook marketplace, I found a local ad very close to me last week.  What was exciting, is it had several UK/Euro releases.  I'm thinking if someone has these ponies not found in the U.S., maybe they are a real collector.  I thought it neat that someone was so close to me.
I ended up not purchasing any of the ponies due to costs and flaws.

Now here comes the crazy part. 
Today at work, a lady drops off a stool sample for analysis (I work at an animal hospital).  After she's left, I'm looking at her chart.  I think this name looks familiar.  I check facebook. Guys, its the pony seller from facebook!  I just met another collector and didn't even know it.

What are the odds you would run into someone in real life you met online just a few days earlier.

Pony Brag Arena / $50 Dream Castle w/ box!
« on: June 09, 2021, 12:44:39 PM »
For a few weeks I had been watching a facebook marketplace post for a Dream Castle w/ box, many but not all accessories, Majesty and Spike.  It was for porch pickup.  And it was only $50!
 It was only a couple hours from me, but I had one huge problem: Atlanta was between me and there.  I have horrible driving anxiety.  I do not drive in big cities, heavy traffic, or highways greater than four lanes.  I couldn't ask anyone to drive me, because most people don't know about my horrible, embarrassing secret pony collection. 
So I watched the ad, knowing there are other Georgia pony collectors out there, knowing someone would snatch away this prize I couldn't have because of my fear.
But, days passed and the ad stayed.  I reached out to the seller.  Hey, would you ship?  She said yes!!!
I already have a Dream Castle I bought off ebay twenty years ago in 2018, but it's discolored, broken, hot glued back together.  A literal wreck.  I can't believe I paid for it.  But now I have this awesome, great looking one, with it's original box!  And Majesty... This is my first Majesty without head/body mismatch!  She's amazing!
So glad I reached out to this kind seller!

Off Topic / Brendar the Barbarian
« on: May 08, 2021, 07:17:24 PM »
Anyone watching?
Your thoughts? 

I really like Evan and Brendar.
I like the idea of a character trapped(willingly or not) in an owl's body.
I could do without the wizard being a main character.  The knight Steve would make a better quest companion.
I like some of the puppets.  Some of the others need work.
I like how some scenes seem filmed in the real outdoors.
I'm surprised this show caught my eye and I'm liking it.

Pony Brag Arena / Mommy And Baby (update w/ pic).
« on: April 28, 2021, 06:54:33 PM »
I was very bad :blush:  With my covid relief money I bought Mom and Baby Beachy Keen.

My want list is getting harder to find, and more expensive to find, so since I had the extra money, I went for it.  I'm very happy with them.

I was thinking of using the money to buy a new chicken house and get more chickens, but since the fox next door had five, yes FIVE kits, I didn't see the point in expanding my flock right now. 
My Bernadette may not be around much longer anyways.  She is a Cornish cross, a meat breed with a short lifespan.  She fell off the chicken truck on the way to the processing plant three years ago.  And from what I read that's the average age for one that doesn't die sooner due to their health problems. 

I'm rambling now.  Good night!

Pony Corral / Rit powder vs liquid
« on: April 04, 2021, 02:34:10 PM »
I was so excited to stumble upon liquid Rit Dye Rose Pink at a store for only three dollars, I bought it.  Then I read/got comments about powder being better for hair and that liquid Rit may stain the body if it touches.

I need advice. 

Ditch the liquid and order powder online?

Give the liquid a chance since I have it in hand?
Will it stain the plastic?

Also, using really hot water, will the tinsel get damaged if I want Princess Serena to be my first victim, er, subject?

Arts & Crafts Corral / New art
« on: February 10, 2021, 05:43:13 PM »
I've been in an artistic slump for awhile.  I never even finished my Rose Tinted Glasses mini comic.  But I finally made something new.

Let's travel back in time, years ago, when members of the Heart family were just little babies!
First-tooth twins Peachy and Snuzzle, with newborn baby sister Love Melody.

Pony Brag Arena / FB Marketplace Find(pic added)
« on: January 16, 2021, 05:16:38 PM »
I haven't found a big find in a couple years (when I found paradise estate on Letgo).  It's hard to find pony stuff these days.  This week I found my first big Facebook Marketplace find, only 30 minutes away!!!  I had to drive like four hours for that Paradise Estate.

Well today, for only $150 dollars, I got a nursery, Satin Slipper Sweet shop, baby carriage, clothes, and about 20 ponies.  Sadly, I already have most of it, but I got Princess Pristina to add to my collection.   I haven't gone thru it all yet, but I'm hoping maybe there's some upgrades I can use.  There is a so-soft Lickety Split, but she has head/body mismatch, which I have not seen in a so-soft before though I've been collecting for years.

Facebook pic, not mine.  I will try to take some as I go thru the boxes

I can't wait to go thru it all.

Off Topic / Sharkboy and Lavagirl are back!!!! Sort of...
« on: December 29, 2020, 11:31:41 AM »
There is a movie on Netflix called We Can Be Heroes, and Sharkboy and Lavagirl are back with small parts, and it's the original grown up Lavagirl too!(but not original Sharkboy, though he never takes off his mask, so maybe they could get Lautner in on any further sequels)

I'm cleaning out some stuff.  Any interest in old JAH magazines from late 90's early 20's as collectibles?

Off Topic / Great british baking show
« on: November 07, 2020, 05:07:25 PM »
I have a question.  Do you guys think the great British Baking Show is tricking us or pretending that filming takes place over more than one day? 
They label each week a specific challenge, and they pretend to be returning to the tent after a day, chatting about what happened yesterday etc, but they are all wearing the same clothing. 
This happens each week, always wearing the same clothing but it's supposedly the next day. 
I'm wondering if each "week" is all filmed on one day.

But then, on a recent 80's Week, a contestant is soaked in sweat because it was a hot day.  But she returns to the tent dry.  Maybe the do come back in a day, but wear the same clothes?

Just an odd observation I made.
