Pony Brag Arena / A moment eight years in the making. (GRAILS!!)
« on: March 05, 2013, 06:40:22 PM »
I present to you... the assembly of my three childhood grails, at long last!!

There were always three ponies I was dying to have when I was young. I would pine over them online and beg my parents to help me out, but apparently they did not understand spending money (especially lots of it) on ponies. I just resigned myself to the thought that I'd never have them.

Until I grew up, got a job and decided to hell with it, I was gonna get those ponies or die trying! Well, with the arrival of Ice Crystal this morning (via the amazing and lovely zabe77, thank you so much!) my mission was finally complete.

And here they are, my three beauties! I am especially stunned by Sunbeam's near-perfection, and Pillow Talk is gorgeous even with her mane trim.

Let's not even talk about Icey. I'll start weeping.
Thank you to all of their previous owners for making this possible. I can now die happy.  :lovey:

Congrats! I have had such good experiences with sales from Arena members so far as well. Looks like your new ladies will be very loved. :)

Bananas! I put them in everything. Also I recently tried frying them and OH MY GOODNESS. Amazing.  :dribble:

Good luck to everyone!

WOO!! Congrats! Wow.  :shocked:

Pony Corral / Re: So when do you stop collecting?
« on: March 03, 2013, 06:28:53 PM »
I'll stop when I run out of room, which is VERY VERY SOON considering I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a boy and two cats. Actually, I probably should be stopping now (she says as she just won a Moondancer and a near-mint Speedy on eBay :blush: ).

When I have a bigger place I'll probably continue to collect. Or not. I get bored easily. For now I have several restoration projects in the works to keep me busy!

I think the ponies we grew up with/the ones we had in our childhood are always the ones we like best! They're the ones that got us collecting and got our imaginations going.  :)

Have him! He is the King of my herd and my oldest pony (had him for about 8 years). I adore him. :)

Nice collection with a lot of good variety! Especially the G2s. You actually make me like them!  :lol:

Congrats! I think she was one of my first G3's as well. Glad she arrived safely!

Adorable babies! I've always liked Lucky Leaf, she's on my want list for sure. There's something about baby unicorns that just melts my heart.  :heart:

I don't remember who my first pony ever was... but when I recently started collecting again, the only one who survived the sale of my first (original) collection was Wigwam. He has a special place in my heart. :)

Pony Brag Arena / Re: Goodwill outlet has made a monster out of me
« on: March 02, 2013, 04:50:01 PM »
Congrats on all the good finds! I was disappointed to see that Goodwill doesn't carry toys in their main stores anymore, as the closest outlet to me is like 45 min away.  -_-

Good to see that you were able to rescue these lovely ones before someone snatched them away!

So much better! They look so bright and cheerful now. :) I definitely want something like that for my own collection!

Pony Brag Arena / Re: Rescues from the scary vintage toy store!
« on: March 01, 2013, 02:09:29 PM »
I wish I was so lucky. Congrats on your finds. Every thrift store I go to in my area never has ponies and I'm lucky if they even have a toy section. Boyfriend is taking me to Dixieland flea market eventually maybe I will get lucky when I go there.

Good luck! Flea markets seem to be good places to look. I actually went to a vintage toy store so I had a pretty good chance of finding something. Most general thrift stores don't have much, I've found. I did get a couple years ago at a Salvation Army. See if there are any vintage toy stores in your area!

Gorgeous!!
I always felt like Ice Crystal WOULD have some kind of control over the elements. He just has that look. Next time a blizzard rolls through my part of Ohio, I know who to blame.  :P
