For anyone not following the retro thread who's interested in retro gear, asos.com have some G1 retro tees right now.

Also, for Australian collectors, Target Australia has a cute kids G1 Sugarberry tee up to kids size 16 (equivalent to about an Aussie women's size 10 but without much bust room) and Typo Australia has some cute retro G1 notebooks (I grabbed several):

The background (of the notebook cover) is pink, and the ponies/G1 logo is silvery holographic line art, since the online link to doesn't show the colours very well...

I'm going to go to Aussie Target tomorrow - I might see if they have it in-store if anyone is interested!

Thank you all for the welcome!

Hi guys! Not sure exactly how much anything is worth as I just got back into collecting after a long hiatus, however here goes...

I'm currently looking for any of the following:
-G1 Merry Go Round Flower Bouquet
-G1 Merry Go Round Sunnybunch
-G1 TE Fizzy
-G1 flutterpony Rosedust
-G2 Silver Swirl
-G2 beanies
-interesting G2 merchandise


The ponies can be in played-with condition, as long as there is no mould/age spots on them anywhere. G2 beanies must be clean and in good condition, though.

In return, I have the following MLP stuff:
-three MIP G2 1999 European McDonalds toy playsets (specifically Silver Swirl + castle, Sweet Berry + heart box, Morning Glory + carry case)
-one G3 McDonalds Butterscotch (good condition)
-one G2 hanging organizer (good condition - from an Aussie showbag) (I would prefer to keep this if possible, but am willing to trade for the right pony)
-one Loyal Subjects Sundance figure (new)
-two retro G1 notebooks (new)
-one MOC G4 (?) Playskool Friends Moon Dancer and Minty

I am willing to trade those items with anyone living in Australia or the USA. (I live in Australia.)

Additionally, if anyone located in Australia is interested in trading ponies for Disney merch, I have an MIB Disney Store Toddler Elsa doll (approx 40cm tall) from a few years back which I would be willing to trade for ponies of equivalent value. (I'm pretty sure it's a Disney Animator's Collection doll, but it doesn't say so on the box - it's just decorated with the Frozen theme. It does have the Disney store logo on it. I think I bought this about 2013/2014?) I know from experience that these dolls can be difficult to get in Australia! (I am not willing to trade the Elsa doll to anyone outside Australia, though, because of the tremendous shipping costs involved.)

If you have a pony (or ponies) which you think is/are worth the same value as the Elsa doll that's not on my list, feel free to ask if I'm interested!

Anyway, PM me if you want to trade! I can email photos to anyone who wants pics.

ETA: I also have the 1998 G2 MLP: Friendship Gardens PC game (CD-ROM) for Windows 95/98 -  I don't know if anyone would be interested, though? Also, I cannot guarantee it still works as I don't have a compatible OS/hardware to test it on.

ETA (16 Dec '17): Also have a Skydancers hair decoration (figure is missing its brushable ponytail, has some small paint rubs) and a random assortment of 1990s Polly Pocket and Starcastle figures if interested. The Starcastle figures include the animal figures from the pink By the Sea playset, seahorse figure from the pale Under the Sea playset, duck and doll figures from pink Sunshine Kaleidoscope Starcastle locket, plus one doll figure I think is from the Bubble Castle playset?? If someone wants any of those figures I would be glad to get them off my hands to someone who wants them - so please inquire if interested!

ATA: 19 Dec 17: I also have a Pokemon Ninetales (12/102) trading card for any Pokemon collectors out there.

I will have to try that. Thank you everyone for your advice!

Apologies if this is an inappropriate post, but I wasn't sure where else to go for help.

I haven't collected ponies in several years, and haven't really looked at what remains of my collection in a long time. But I was inspecting the ponies I still have earlier today, and I noticed that Tiny Bubbles now has several brown spots on her. The largest spot consists of a light brown circle with a very dark dot at the centre of it. The other spots are light brown in colour without the dark spot in the middle. (I'd post a photo, but photobucket won't let me do that anymore...)

The last time I looked at Tiny Bubbles she had a single, tiny brown spot, and I wasn't sure what it was so I quarantined her in a plastic bag and away from my other ponies. But the brown dot has gotten bigger and multiplied in that time.

So what am I looking at? Mould? Or a breakdown of the plastic? And does anyone know how to treat it?

Again, sorry if there is an obvious answer to this, but it's been about six years since I was last on the forums, so I'm a bit hazy on how everything here works. If anyone could offer me advice, I'd appreciate it!
