Since becoming a member of the arena I've neglected posting to some of the other boards   So far my posts have just been in Corral/Brags. Well today I'm changing that! I'm an artist and draw ponies from time to time( bet you didn't know that about me..) And I have a bunch of pony pictures to show off. Now I'm already a established artist with a FA, DA, and Tumblr however all of those are not arena appropriate :x And I don't feel like creating a pony-centric gallery for any of those websites..so I'll mostly be uploading here. All my art is drawn in SAI in case you were wondering.

See case in point I created this banner for a pony Tumblr I tried to start. Unfortunately I created it with a FORMER(as in the past tense) friend and she never let me have the Tumblr password so I have this banner setting around unused.

Yum Yum, Buttons, and Sweet Stuff were drawn for my 2 best friends. Buttons is my one friends fav pony. Yum Yum and Sweet Stuff are my other friends fav ponies. I'm considering taking commissions like these and will make another post later  this weekend if I decide to do so I have more arts to share but will save the rest for later. Thanks for looking   

Don't be discouraged..G1 ponies are so elusive nowadays! Also it depends on much you go thrifting. When I lived in Ohio I would only go thrifting occasionally. And I maybe found 2 G1 ponies. When I moved to Chicago I became addicted to the thrift stores there and went quite frequently! In the 2 yrs I lived there I found maybe 30ish G1's , over 100 G3's,  and  innumerable Mcd's ponies. If you go to the thrift stores around you enough you may be rewarded! Good luck!!

My game just updated today...and it won't even load past the loading screen it just freezes :/  I'm running on a Android and by looking at everyone else's posts androids are having real problems running this game. Bummer.

So I recently moved from Chicago to Seattle and changed my address and everything with the postal service. A pony I have been pining over for 2 yrs showed up on Etsy recently. For a good price too. At least in her price range. Cause everytime in the past I've seen her on Ebay or Etsy she's been well out of her price range or in a lot with other ponies and there was a bid war going on. So I was checking my tracking info today and it said "notice left". That can mean many things. Maybe the person didn't pay enough for shipping.  Or maybe cause my mailbox is so tiny they didn't want to just leave it sit out in the lobby. But what is worry some for me is I can't find a peach/pink slip anywhere that tells me what post office my package is being held at :/ It wasn't in my mailbox or anywhere in the lobby or outside. So I'm left wandering what do I do now?? Like how do I find out what Post Office my package is being held at? Since I can't find the peach/pink slip how would I even prove the package is even mine? Uggghhh I hate dealing with the Postal Service so much. I just wanted my pony..it would have been a nice pick me up cause I've been a bummer mood lately.

*Update thank you all for the helpful advice! Unfortunately the next day the status was changed again to "undeliverable as addressed" And the post office couldn't tell me why of course. But it could have been the label was damaged in transit or my address wasn't written out correctly(missing apt#) etc. But they told me the pony is being returned to sender. I talked to the seller on Etsy and she seems nice and told me she would reship..if the pony comes back.

I'm just worried because this happened to me before..I bought a pony off of Ebay and the seller put the wrong zipcode but that was MY fault I had just moved to Chicago and couldn't remember my zipcode so my ebay profile had the wrong address. And the post office returned the package.The seller told me she would reship the pony but I never heard anything from her at all

Woah, what is the concept there with the "coloring kiddies(?)" fakies? o-o

I have no idea I was so baffled by it myself that I let it at the store.  When I went back and it was still there I thought ehhh okay I'll bring it home.
I guess your supposed to paint it yourself with the tubes, I've seen scans of other animals in the same series. 

in what country were those "coloring kiddies" sold in ?? I totally want them. I knew that they made fakies of woolly the sheep and leafy the calf. I would love more info. And if anyone has any fore sale..hills at me!!!

You are supposed to paint the ponies Its a very very popular little set that - it has fakie versions of Baby Firefly pose, Baby Cotton Candy pose, the calf, the kangaroo, the panda and the sheep from the Pretty Pals set.

I'm glad someone made this thread cause  I couldn't think of any  G1 unicorns exceptMoonstone.  Cocoberry is soooo pretty I love the blue/pink combo. She's going on my want list.

I'll attempt to answer your question! Ahum..*clears throat*

Mimic was featured in a prominent episode of the 1980's My Little Pony cartoon. In the episode Mimic was going to disappear if the little ponies didn't find her magical horseshoes. Perhaps many pony collectors remember this episode and that's why they seek her out. Also she's green which is not a common color for US ponies. TAF Buttons and Cool Breeze the Windy Wing pony are also green and quite sought after as well. They don't have a high as price tag as Mimic tho.
