I semi collect them. I only have two though. They aren'rt available here, so I have to buy them abroad. I pick and choose the ones I like, I don't need to have them all. I love the garden party ones, especially the ladybug and bee.

When I was a little girl I had those:

I think my parents would have just bought her for me without even asking

Yeah, Skelitas sell poorly. Too bad I don't want her either, because she's very easy to find 

Oh my! Street sharks! I remember those! I didn't have them though.

But OMG, my friend who works at a toy store is gonna deal me some dolls, with discount. I'm finally getting my Picture Day Frankie <3

OMG, which toy store? Are PD2.0 in Finland already?

Maybe I´m wrong here, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that she wanted more money for her ponies and that she was not satisfied so she comes up with a reason to relist the auction.. 

Same thoughts here as well. I have read of stuff like that happening from time to time.

Thanks you guys for the informative answers!

I love looking at MOC ponies. They bring back so many memories for me. I had almost forgotten what the packaging looked like. All I remembered was that there was the rainbow with the MLP logo o top and then a light green on the lower half.

I doubt I'll ever come across a box full of unopened stock, but the idea that that has happened is fascinating. The collector who found the Transformers and ponies must have had the time of their lives looking through the box.

I have been wondering about this for quite a while. Are they back stock forgotten for 30 odd years, or left overs in someones basement, or what? Were there collectors in the 80's who are selling them now?

I am not very pony savvy, so I don't know if ponies were seen as collectible in the 80's. I assumed that most ponies were opened. I started thinking about this mainly, because I just received an old MIB toy that I bought in the mail. I was looking at it in the box and thinking, wow, this has been in box for 30 years! Amazing!

So where do MOC ponies come from?

EDIT: Edited for typo

Speaking of scalpers, I saw someone on eBay selling a lot of six Catrines. Now I don't know for sure that they are a scalper. They could very well not be. However, why would anybody sell six Catrines at once though?

If PD wave two is in the UK, maybe it will make its way over here before autumn!

I bought Una Verse last weekend! I was in Glasgow on a work trip and I peeled in a local toystore to see what they had. She was the only one and considerably cheaper than she is here. So I bought her.

Like Raydensol said (I think?) her hair is quite coarse. Has someone here washed it or conditioned it? Does it have any effect? The quality of the hair isn't the best and her arms are very loose, but I do love her. Her antennae and pointy ears are very cute.

The box was an absolute pain to open though. Unless there is some clever system to it that I just didn't get for some reason?

I was surprised that I liked Ari Roma as much as I did when I saw her in person. They are available here in stores, but I never really looked at Ari properly before. She is very pretty and If I end up getting another Novi it will probably be her.
