Price Check Archives / PC on some MIB/MOC
« on: March 24, 2016, 02:01:25 PM »
I dug through all of my store paperwork and seem to not have found prices for these ladies.  Can anyone give me some direction?

A lot of these have stickers or marks from pulled off stickers, and minor wear on the packaging unless noted otherwise.  Regardless of packaging condition, all of the ponies look great.

MOC
-Sunbeam - pulling away from the card on one side, very yellowed plastic, lots of stickers
-Happyglow (Glow n Show)
-Starglow (Glow n Show)
-Baby Northstar (Baby Sparkle Pony)

MIB
-Lavender Lace (Perfume Puff)
-Caramel Crunch (Candy Cane) - looks like the box has been crushed, but the pony is completely fine.  Possible light water damage?
-ChaCha (Prom Queen Sweetheart Sister) - front plastic has collapsed in
-Princess Pony (Purple w/eyelashes)
-Bridal Beauty - box in rough shape, rather bent up.  possible water damage

Others
-Goldilocks (still in bag)

I can provide pictures if anything is unclear, and thank you for any help in advance.

Trader & Shipping Support / Would people have a problem with this?
« on: March 24, 2016, 11:21:29 AM »
I want to preface with, this isn't for certain, but it's come up before and I'm just looking for advice

Secondly, I'm really sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but this seemed most appropriate.
I work for a comic book store.  We have some ponies (especially MIB/MOC ones) that have been sitting around.  Would it be an issue  for me to use my account at the Arena and, more or less, act as an agent for the store?  I'd pop up a sales thread with some things and pull those items off of the shelf, possibly rotating stock occasionally? 

I know we have some collectors locally, but I'd kinda like to get this stuff out and into more happy collector hands.

Thank you for any advice and opinions.

Pony Corral / Uneven Tails?
« on: October 16, 2015, 02:46:40 PM »
Still mostly a novice but I'm cleaning up some G1's from a lot, and I'm noticing some of their tails are uneven.  I don't think they're cut, it'll just have one small chunk that's abnormally long in relation to the rest.

Is it just the metal piece in the tail giving out from over brushing, or age?  Should I be worried about tail rust in these?  Or is something else weird going on that I should know about.

Pony Corral / Question About Baby Misty
« on: September 27, 2015, 01:48:31 PM »
I have a Baby Seapony Misty, and he hair is completely trashed.  It looks like dreadlocks, and the more I work at it/look at it, I don't think there will be any way to comb out her dreads.  The hair is almost bonded together??

I just want to be sure she's not terribly rare, because I wanted to give her some new hair and use her for a cute project. 

I won't be doing any changes or harm to her body.  At least that part of her is in pretty good shape.

(also, haven't decided on a hair color yet, if anyone wanted to add some input on that.....  :biggrin:)

Price Check Archives / Price Check on A LOT of MOC/MIB
« on: March 12, 2015, 08:39:20 AM »
I just want to preface this with, this is just a price check.  I am not personally selling these.  If for any reason they do become available for sale, I will be sure to post a notice here!  ^.^

It's that time again!  Someone brought a large lot of MLP into the store again and this time it's almost entirely MOC/MIB, which I have no resources for pricing.  Well, except for you wonderful members of the arena!  ;)

Unless noted, all boxes/blisters are in pretty good shape.  Some tears on the art from price tag removal, old price tags, some yellowing of the blisters.  If you need pictures of any of these to make a better determination, I am more than happy to provide them.
**Also, if there's any weirdness in the names, I'm sorry!! I wrote my list in a hurry and sometimes have trouble reading my own handwriting in such circumstances  :blush:**

Pony Corral / Pony Party Ideas
« on: January 05, 2015, 03:10:50 PM »
Because my almost 5 - year-old niece is adorable,  she wants a My Little Pony birthday party.   I know my sister has been looking for stuff already (who doesn't love Pinterest for that?) but most of what she's found is g4 related.   My little Peanut looooooves g1 ponies though. 

Has anyone else come up with ideas for this (especially with decorating)?  Are there any websites with good printables and that sort of thing I can forward on to my sister?

Pony Brag Arena / Pinkie Pie and Gummi!!
« on: October 08, 2014, 08:23:53 AM »
It's been awhile since I've shown off my army shelf - and I think it's getting impressive (but not excessive  :lol:)

There's some other randomness in there, like a Monster High doll, a stuffed corn and a Moon Locket....

But what's that by Pinkie-zilla's foot!?

This little guy is super special!  My boyfriend made him for me, and I'd been asking for one since way before we were ever dating.  I was having an awful work week and I stopped at his house one night after work and he had him all ready for me.
His excuse, "Well, I bought fimo to make little mushrooms for my plant at work and just had left-over clay."  ^.^

What a dorkatron... He loves that I collect ponies and I credit him with most of the army expansion, too!

Price Check Archives / PC Baby Accessories/Night gown ID
« on: March 28, 2014, 08:46:49 AM »
I'm pricing for work, again, and this time it's a lot of accessories and sets. 
I cannot find any info on these (normally I reference sold auctions on eBay) and need an idea for pricing:
Aqua/yellow bassinet (comes with Dibbles and Nibbles)
Pink/purple stroller (comes with Rattles and Tattles)

I'm also trying to figure out what these night gowns go with:

Pink with pink bows.  I saw a listing somewhere that they may be a variation, but I wanted to make sure.
If they are a variation does that affect the selling price at all?

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me!
Thank you all, so much! ^.^

Pony Corral / Hair in Neckseam
« on: January 17, 2014, 03:04:32 AM »
I'm cleaning up a g1 Tootsie with a really bad head/body mismatch and some neck seam glue issue.  When trying to comb out her hair I noticed she has some hair seriously stuck in the glue....

So I'm wondering, is this a factory error or did someone do an awful job gluing Tootsie's head back in place?

Sorry for the gigantic cellphone pictures.... >_<

Pony Corral / Rough Work Day - Show Me....
« on: January 14, 2014, 02:13:13 AM »
I'm at work, alone, trying to catch up on almost a week's worth of orders because our new employee does nothing when he's alone.

Show me your Teeny Tinies and G2 babies - that would really cheer me up!

Off Topic / Trying to work out with pain - help!
« on: January 02, 2014, 12:29:11 AM »
I could just use some advice.

I used to lift weights and do crunches (I was up to around 700 every morning).  My goal was to get some toning through my arms, legs and tummy and I was doing well.
Then my back and shoulder started acting up.  My shoulder will actually get so sore that I start guarding with it (holding it close to my body so it won't move).
As a result, I started going to a chriopractor, which helps my pain but not enough so that I can get back into my work-out routine.
I cosplay and have a few revealing costumes and I just want to look my best in them, and even if I'm eating well I don't seem to hold onto my muscle tone.
Does anyone else have experience with trying to work out with pain?  Is there something I should be doing that I'm missing?

Off Topic / So Who Else Reads Comics?
« on: December 04, 2013, 12:17:05 AM »
I wasn't really into comics until I started working in a comic book store.  I'd started reading manga when I was 12, and didn't get into American comics until I was 18 or 19.

My favorite comic series, to date (Japanese and American) are: Sailor Moon and Tramps like Us (manga), Sandman, Watchmen, Gears of War (after Karen Traviss took over writing) and the Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake mini

Currently, I'm reading: Demon Love Spell and Happy Marriage?! (manga), the new Sandman mini, the Adventure Time Minis, Regular Show, Mass Effect Foundations, and the IDW My Little Pony comics.

I also have a history with the New 52 Batgirl and Catwoman (so good but I got so behind on them!) and Witchblade.

What about you guys?  Are you into it?  When and what did you start reading?  Anything you're looking forward to that's coming out soon?

Pony Brag Arena / Birthday Brag and a Grail!
« on: November 20, 2013, 01:00:39 AM »
It was my birthday this month, and I wasn't expecting any ponies since the collecting thing is still pretty new for me, so my friends and family aren't entirely sure what I have and want I would like, etc...

So, I indulged (though that's a bit misleading since I didn't spend very much) on some MIB/MOC - my firsts! :frolic:

(Also - Sorry for blurry pictures, they looked clear until I uploaded them ^-^;; )

I'm not a big MIB/MOC fan., but I wanted a G3 Minty.... and then I found this and Autumn Sky is so pretty and the little charm is so cute!  These two are staying in their packaging, and I can't wait to find a place to hang them!

Again, I know I just said not a big fan of MOC... but G2's look so pretty that way!  I don't think I'd be opposed to collecting G2's exclusively on card, if I could afford it!
Oh!  And these two are my very first G2's!  I didn't like them at first, but the more I looked at them, the more pretty they were, and I used my birthday as an excuse to buy them!

One of the girls I work with knows that I army Pinkie Pie, and she got me this!  I don't have any Funko's, so she actually got me one I didn't have!

I got this girl a week after my birthday, but she still feels like a birthday gift!  I'd wanted a Princess Twilight Sparkle since she became a princess on FiM, but she pretty much came in sets I didn't care for.  I was browsing toys at Wal-Mart, with my best guy friend, the other day and found this one!  It came with Spike (which I'm convinced my mom is going to steal since he's a cute baby dragon)!! 
My student loan payments were due in a few days, so I was going to pass and wait until my next check.  My friend, who was grabbing some other stuff anyway, grabbed her off the shelf and insisted on buying her, with my protesting the entire way to the checkout :lol:  I'll just have to get him back for Christmas, I think!!

Finally...... THE GRAIL!!
I found this girl back in October and just haven't had the time to brag about her!

A few of you on here have heard of my bee-butt pony collection... Basically, I love honeybees and ponies so I want ALL of the bee-butt ponies!  This is my third bee pony, but I also thought she was going to be the hardest to get.  She has some battle damage, but it's on the the NDS side, and her styled hair hides the rest.  The price was right and I love her to absolute bits!
And I swear.... her bees are even more cute in person!! :lovey:

Customs / Mexican Baby Blossom Custom
« on: November 14, 2013, 10:30:41 PM »
This little cutie was made for the Baby Swap!  And now that she's in her new home and I have time to post it, here she is:

I just have to say, this was my first FBR, and that part went really, REALLY well!  :)
This little girl was a Baby Surprise, which was great because I didn't have to fool with her eyes so much!  I only had to do a bit of touch-up on her eye lashes once the her paint layers were done. 
There was a lot of frustration involved, as her hairline bubbled and cracked so badly when I was rehairing her  :cry:  However, I was able to troubleshoot through everything on my own and get her looking lovely for her new home!
