Price Check Archives / Quick PC on a couple G1, please

« on: February 10, 2016, 08:09:00 PM »

Could I get current PCs for these two, please?

Cuteasaurus - excellent condition, only has a couple small nicks in her symbol.

Starswirl - also excellent, tiny bit of symbol rub. Hair is faded, but still faintly pink.

Thank you!

Trader & Shipping Support / Ebay seller poniesandpetals

« on: June 01, 2015, 12:17:18 PM »

So, a week ago I won both Sticky and and Sniffles (separate auctions) from poniesandpetals. Since they offer combined shipping, I sent a message requesting an updated invoice. I got no response back. I have since sent another message and still have not received an answer.

Their feedback on ebay is great, so it didn't occur to me to check here, but now I see there have been some problems with this seller before.

What do I do now? I guess contact ebay? But even if they do finally send an invoice, I'm almost hesitant to even go through with the transaction. But I really wanted those babies. They were to be a gift for a dear friend who has been through hell the past year, and is still recovering.

Price Check Archives / PC on G3 lot please

« on: May 20, 2015, 12:53:35 PM »

Local seller has this lot of mostly MIB G3s, with two G1s and the S1 dvd set thrown in. I'm thinking his price is high, but I wanted to double check. What would you pay for this?
(this is the best pic he had that everything in it)

Off Topic / Stupid injuries, and just plain stupid....

« on: May 14, 2015, 10:57:35 PM »

So, in the last couple of days I have:

Acquired a rather painful bruise on my knee when I tried to Cirque-du-Soleil my way to the other side of the toy room. (it's, uh, messy)

Nicked myself not once, but twice with a box cutter while trying to open the insanely secure packaging for my new end table. (stupid flat-pack furniture)

About an hour ago, took a chunk off my knuckle when I tried to fix the bedsheets, slipped, and rammed my hand into the edge of the bed frame.

And my special stupid human trick for the night:

It took about 20 minutes and my husband coming down to the basement to determine that the reason the dryer wouldn't turn on.....was because I hadn't actually set the dial to anything. Kids, don't do laundry while tired and headache-y.

Anyone else having a dumb week?

Pony Corral / That moment you find a variant....

......hiding out in your herd, that you forgot/didn't know about.

I was poking through the insane toy jungle that is my toy room, and came across this pretty girl:

Her neck is factory sealed, and her washer is definitely still in place. Her head is a bit darker than her body, so I'm guess she's a combo of the two Pretty Beat variations. I did a quick search here, and it looks like at one point Raindrop had one like her, too.

She's also got these weird black flakes scattered about that seem to be part of the plastic (factory debris?), and airbubbles in the plastic on some of her hooves that my phone camera couldn't quite pick up.

I have no idea when/where I got her, it must have been years ago (and was probably either in an ebay lot or was a thrift find) but I'm happy to have her!

Anybody else ever find a surprise in their herd?

Introductions / Hello from Saskatchewan!

« on: March 15, 2015, 11:09:24 AM »

Hello everyone! I'm Amber from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I've been collecting in some form or another since I was a child in the 80's, but less so the last number of years due to life getting in the way. I've recently been able to get back to active collecting; mostly G1's, but some other gens, too.

At last count, I had roughly 500 ponies, but that number is out of date and my toy room is a complete mess right now. I'm planning to do a complete rehaul soon, but I have to finish reorganizing the spare room/yarn room first. (Knitting is my other obssession)

I look forward to chatting with you all!
