Ooh...I want the first set.  I don't care if it's a quality control nightmare.  I can either keep them as they are or customize them to suit my needs.  :biggrin:

Earl of Sandwich.  Hands down.  I've been to the one in Las Vegas (in the Planet Hollywood mall) and the one at Downtown Disney in Florida.  Whenever I go to those two places I tell my friends I don't care what else we do as long as I get to eat at least one meal at Earl of Sandwich.  I have never had anything that tasted bad there.  And yes, they do have veggie sandwiches, but my favorites are the Hawaiian and the Cannonballs.  Mmm....

My challenge is for you all to try it.  :)

I haven't gotten this one, but I've gotten scam emails that said they were from UPS, the IRS, FedEx and several other big name companies.  Since I knew I hadn't done any business with those particular companies, I reported them. 

When in doubt, type the site in and send a message directly to paypal asking about it under their "contact us" link.  They may even have  a way to report the email.

Thank you all so much!  :blush:  I know he isn't a G4, but by using the G1 Big Brother as a base, he's the right size when compared with the G4s.  I want Hasbro to make a Troubleshoes so that I can customize him as the Big Brother ponies.  That would be awesome!

My guess is that it's selling for more because people who are determined to get the whole set are willing to pay more for it if it means they finish their set.  People will sell things for as much as they can get for them.  When Frozen first came out people were selling Elsa dolls for over a thousand dollars.  Now you can get one at Walmart for about $12.

Finally managed to finish this guy.  It's been one thing after another, I tell ya!  First the sealer I used ended up being sticky so I had to reseal him.  Then the hair plugs I wanted to use were all frizzy so I had to go out and buy a hair straightener.  The hair straightener worked great but I managed to melt a couple of hair plugs because it got too hot.  Good thing I had the sense to straighten them BEFORE putting them in his head.  Then I decided to give him a bit of a trim because his hair was down past his feet and I think I got it a little shorter than I wanted, but maybe it's okay.  Then when I went to take the picture, my camera battery was dead.  But now it's done!

I'm beginning to wonder if it's because it's in a spray form.  I was looking online and people who do similar projects (someone who made game pieces) had the same complaint.  Someone said it had to do with the propellant reacting with the plastic because the parts that the other artist used that were metal weren't sticky.  And the wood and paper boxes that I've used it on haven't been sticky, so it must be a reaction to the plastic.  The mod podge that I usually use is brushed on and I generally don't have issues with it.  It's less humid today than it has been and he's stickier than ever, so while that may play into it, I don't think it's the whole issue.

I think I'm just going to put a layer of mod podge over him and see if that fixes it.  I'm just bummed because I didn't want any brush strokes on him (he's really quite pretty right now and I was excited about the spray finish going on so smoothly) and sometimes I get those when I brush on the finish even if  I didn't have any with the paint.

Customs / FolkArt ClearCote help
« on: May 11, 2015, 03:38:54 PM »
So I'm making a custom of Troubleshoes and I decided to try FolkArt Clearcote on him instead of mod podge.  When he was first dry, he was fine, but when I went to rehair him today, I noticed he was sticky.  My dad said to let him sit for a few more days and see if that lets the sealer finish drying.  Has anyone else tried this sealer and will letting him sit a few days work or should I just cover him in a layer of mod podge and get on with it? 

The boxes that I sprayed at the same time are not sticky, just the pony, so I wondered if it had to do with the fact that he is plastic because I used the same paints on everything.

Stopped at McDs tonight in North Ogden UT to get a drink and noticed that they had the boxes made up for the Pony Happy Meals even though their toy display was still on the last toy ("Home" I think?).  Didn't get any toys because I'm not sure I want them, but if anyone else is interested, they're here.

which walmart in NUT? Providence WM?   I'm sorta lookin for Flower wishes.

I found Flower Wishes at Toys R Us in Layton.  They only had one, but I'll bet they get more soon.  They had several of Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, along with the other Cutie Mark Magic ponies. 

So far I've only seen Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Skywishes and BonBon at Walmart.  The ones I found were in Logan, though I would bet they are at most Walmarts in Utah at this point.  I've also seen those ones at Smith's and Walgreens in Logan.
