Also MIP ponies via the GSP is risky anyway. I think it'd have to be a lower price for me to risk it.

What is the Global shipping programme and why is it risky?

/Swedish collector being out of the loop for a looong time ;-)

In short, the seller pays ebay to do the sending to your country via their agent - the risks are:

1*  very expensive for you as a buyer (you pay extra shipping for the agent service PLUS import duties)
2*  the packing agents see something in a box (MIB) and de-box the item so it fits in their packing boxes.  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
3*  Or they bend your items in such a way that they are no longer considered mint.  >_< >_< >_<

so, not a popular shipping choice for those worried about the quality of the care of their purchases!


I messaged the seller about GSP and they said the next batch won’t be sold via GSP. I also asked if I won an auction and pay can they just NOT send it through GSP and they said yes.

If GSP is bad, is there an alternative?

Wow!  This is so crazy.  Very much like actual dreams I’ve had except I always wake up before actually getting to posses the ponies.   I was hoping that I might get to snag a couple of these for decent prices with the market basically being flooded at the moment.  But the Baby Firefly thing is concerning :/  and I just looked and it looks like that bidder only has 1 feedback.  Very scetchy....

I actually messaged them on eBay and informed them about our suspicions, they responded with the fact someone had informed them earlier of the "trickster" so they're gonna change the rules next pony batch.

Customs / Wanna customize?
« on: March 06, 2019, 07:22:10 AM »
Hi!

I've been thinking about my poor quality Cadence and I think I wanna customise her into a more show accurate Cadence, so I got some questions.

  • My Cadence has join lines which I was thinking of sanding down, would that be a good idea? Just with a fine sand nail file.
  • Does anybody know of a supplier that sells small lots of hair? Just 3 colours needed.
  • Does anybody know of any resources involving which tools are needed, how to get head off/on, how to rehair, ect?
  • And does anybody know if alicorn wings can be removed and then put back in or if they can't go back in?

Thank you.

I haven't been active in the community for awhile now, but a friend of mine messaged me with the story about this and my mind is absolutely BLOWN!!! We're each hoping that a MOC of our favorites ends up showing up at some point, because I will claw my way through the fray to get my hands on a MOC SS Twilight!! I'm also drooling like crazy over the pictures of the MIB Dream Beauties, among others. Just...WOW... :shocked:

I'll be keeping a close eye on them so if I find a MOC SS Twilight, I'll let you know!

I dont think they were a passionate collector.  I dont know the story either but the ponies were all found just in giant boxes, not all neat and on display like that.

Maybe failed toystore? Bought some boxes from a defunct Toys r us warehouse? Maybe leftover stock? Direct from the factory? There's so many possibilities!

Wow!  :dropjaw: :dropjaw:  So many beautiful MOC/MIB G1 ponies  I also wonder how the original owner lost possession of the storage unit as it looks like whoever the original owner was took great care to store them carefully.


It looks like there are a lot of things that we don't see MOC/MIB often. Do I see Greek MOCs also?

:0! I also spotted MIB Pony Bride and one sweetheart sister (Either Pretty Belle or Sweet Sundrop)

Oh, she's one the Bedtime Newborns, I love them, they're cute (I have Sunset). They were sold in Australia as well as (some parts of) Europe. The MLP Scrapbook says that they were sold in Australia as part of an Easter promotion, packaged inside eggs. http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/1993_bedtimenewborns.htm

:0!! I never knew that! Thank you for that!

Ooh I saw that listing, apparently it was a friend of hers who bought a storage unit and it happened to have all these G1 MOC/MIB ponies!

What are the odds?!

I know! It's a super amazing miracle! AAAAAAAAA

Pony Corral / Rare ponies on eBay?

Hi friends!

I was browsing eBay again and saw someone listed a MIB Sweet Scoops, knowing that it's rare I click on it to view it.

This person seems to have a outback garage of MIB G1 toys.

And while I can't really afford much of them, I wanted to share this find with you guys incase you need something that they have!

Their name is "family-love-peace-happiness.priceless" if this isn't allowed, let me know and I will pull it down/edit it.

Congrats! This set is very pretty :D
She is so cute! I love her pose.

Thank you!

That was a nice win, and even better you won't have to spend a fortune on international shipping.  Congrats :cheer:

Yeah, that's a good point although I'm just wondering how she got here; Did a kid bring her over from Europe when they moved, did someone import her or was it something else entirely?

Pony Brag Arena / Interesting eBay find!
« on: March 05, 2019, 02:24:55 AM »
So I recently decided to choose the "All Category" and "Australia only" on eBay, and I saw a pink baby pegasus with blue hair, with a moon and star cutie mark. I bidded on her, never having seen her before and presuming she might be a nirvana or something.

Then I identified her, and her name is Moondream! She's a UK exclusive and I'm glad I bidded on her, because I won!
