I found one at Walmart this weekend, and she's up for trade. Seeking in order of priority: FS Coco Pommel Flash Sentry EQG Lyra EQG Sweetie Drops EQG Amethyst Star EQG Roseluck EQG Cheerilee EQG I can ship Adagio MIB or loose, and I have no preference for loose or deboxed in return. I intend to debox them anyway.

It was new comic book day, so I went down to my favorite comic shop. Lo and behold, look at what I found! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAt normal retail price! I was sure that comic shops would sell the rarer variants for more, but no! I briefly toyed with the idea of trying to trade her, but she's just too beautiful. I have a glitter Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash up for trade, but I'm keeping Cadance.

I'm taking a long-overdue vacation in a few weeks, and my sweetie and I are going to Winnipeg! We don't have any concrete plans beyond seeing Star Warz at Celebration's Dinner Theatre, and trying some restaurants from You Gotta Eat Here, but neither of us really knows much about the city. Anyone have any recommendations about cool stuff to see or do? My bf is of Metis decent, and I know he would love to check out some historical sites and museums.

I'm reasonably sure I have Princess Sparkle's wand here. I got it from a flea market, packaged with a Baby Sniffles for some reason, but there was a Princess Sparkle in the bin. Can one of the awesome accessory gurus confirm, and maybe PC for me? visitors can't see pics , please register or login

If I'm going to keep making these things, I might as well pile them all into one thread. I'm sure many of you remember my very first plushie attempt. She can be found here: http://thirty7of9.deviantart.com/art/Scootaplush1-0-433721820AGES ago, I found an amigurumi deer pattern in a book that I bought, and I modified it into a pony. She was forgotten about for a long time, but I found her recently and finished her! Meet filly Fluttershy! She's for sale, if anyone's interested.  My first time using the valleyviolet beanie pattern. I LOVE this pattern! I definitely stuffed her too firmly to work well as a shoulder pony, but overall I'm very happy with how she turned out. As all of my plushies are, she's 100% sewn and embroidered by hand. This one is one of my favorite Let's Players...Phoe of Equestria Daily! Flapjack: my MLP fursuit Spoiler Jubilations Dinner Theatre Halloween costume contest 2014. Three guesses which one I am. Getting to go on stage during the actual show was one of the coolest things I've ever done!  visitors can't see pics , please register or loging1 to g4 October Cosmos plushie, using valleyviolet's mare pattern.

Not pony, but definitely art. I think my first try at customizing a Lego minifigure turned out pretty well! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThe default series 9 waiter already bears a striking resemblance to one of the characters played by my favorite local actor, but he needed a few little adjustments to complete the look. All I did was swap out his hands, change the color of his vest, and grey up his hair a bit. It wasn't much, but I'm very happy with the result! Wanna know the best part? I posted that picture to the theatre's Facebook page before work this morning for Throwback Thursday, with the following comment: "Any other Ghost Busted fans out there? I was amazed to find just how much the Lego series 9 waiter minifigure looked like a certain hotel manager. (Original waiter on the top left, customized on the top right.) A few tiny modifications later, my Lego city is now home to René Bouggaire! Though I think his ghost problem may have followed him..." I arrived home after work to find this comment: "I am zo proud to be immortalize in Lego. (Whatevah zat eez.)" R. Bouggaire. FROM THE ACTOR!!!

Hello handsome! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHis eBay pic didn't do him justice. He turned a little blue in this pic...not sure why. He's a proper minty green IRL and he's absolutely gorgeous!!!visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHis eyes and symbols are immaculate, but he has a few imperfections. Some little marks here and there, a small cancer spot on the side of his neck, and 2 cut hair plugs on his forelock. A Magic Eraser scrub should take care of most of that, and I'm sure I can handle replacing 2 hair plugs. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginEeeeee!!! Ice Crystal has been one of my major grails since the first time I saw him, and at last he's MINE!!! I owe a HUGE thank you to SeashellnBubbles for finding this guy on eBay and letting me know. I just barely lost an auction for another Ice Crystal. He didn't get away a second time!  [Stickied 2/19 by Diamond]unstickied 22/2/14

I'm a bit nervous to share her...one one hand she's freaking adorable, but on the other I can already see a dozen things that I could do better. The creator's curse is a giant jerk.  All things considered, she's really not too shabby for a first effort, and the next ones will only get better. Meet Scootaplush 1.0! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI'm not sure exactly how it happened, but her eyes ended up WAY too low on her face. From some angles it's not bad, from others it looks like her eyes are melting off.  I'll be extra careful of that next time. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginSize comparison with FS Rainbow Dash. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginClose-up of her hand embroidered eye. She's 100% hand stitched, made of fleece and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. The body pattern was made by Voodoo-Tiki on deviantArt, the wings are from the valleyviolet colt/filly pattern, and I tried my hand at making the mane and tail myself.

I'm gearing up to make my first online sales, but I have this one last nagging question. I've done some research and I think I finally understand how I would receive money from PayPal, but I'd love to hear it in plain English from people who actually know what they're doing.  *sigh* This is probably a very simple thing in reality, but I'm expecting it to be complicated and am therefore making it complicated.  This is my current understanding: I make a plushie and someone buys it. The money goes into a virtual account on PayPal. I then tell PayPal to take that money and put it into my bank account. I then withdraw that money and buy more fabric to make more plushies. Am I in the ballpark here?

I'm Rudolph, and this is my friend Clarice." Just as the ponies had never seen reindeer before, the reindeer had never seen ponies either. "It's very nice to meet you, Rudolph and Clarice. I'm Twilight Sparkle, this is my assistant Spike, and our friends Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash." visitors can't see pics , please register or login"The task that we've been given by Santa and Princess Celestia is to decorate the biggest tree in Christmastown.

I want to start selling some of my handicrafts online, but I'm not sure how to actually go about it. I'm thinking that private sales are the way to go, through here, or my deviantArt page or something. I don't think an Etsy shop would be worthwhile, and eBay would eat my profits. I'm not trying to make a living or anything. Selling some of the stuff I make would just help me buy materials to make more stuff.  I think I know what I need to do. I think I need to link a bank account to Paypal. I already have a credit card linked to Paypal for buying things online, but I don't know if I can use that to sell too. A bank account that I would use exclusively for receiving money from PayPal seems like it would be easier (and I have an existing one that would work since I hardly ever use it), but I have no idea if it's a good idea or not. I know lots of you guys sell stuff online. How do you do it?  [moving to TS - kkat]

And this year, you don't have to redeem a code for them. They're actually printed on the box. Kellogg's cereal boxes have coupons on them for $10 off a $25 purchase of any Hasbro product, excluding video games, Winning Moves (whatever that is...), USAopoly, and Funrise products. So go buy some Froot Loops and get a nice pony discount! EDIT: It seems this is a Canadian offer, and it probably doesn't apply to sale-priced items. I should read the fine print first. Still, pony discount!
