Off Topic / Collection Intervention
« on: August 21, 2012, 10:23:28 PM »
Hello! I was wondering if anyone here watches Collection Intervention. It is a really interesting show! I know I've gone through what those collectors have gone through as I have had to sell many of my Monster High Dolls to pay off my credit card after I lost my job when I didn't want to sell any of it, but I definitely reevaluated which dolls I pick up. Tonight's episode had a G.I. Joe/Hotwheels and a Barbie collector and last week had a Catwoman and a Star Wars collector. Next week's episode is about a 30k comic book collector and a Transformers collector. I am curious as to what others think about this show. I wonder if we will see an episode on someone who collects MLPs.

Awesome, I have yet to find any G1's at a flea market, garage sale or thrift store. I find plenty of G3's and G4's though. The day I find a G1 is going to be a very, very good day.

I find a ton of G3's and some G4's. I did find a 2007 Cotton Candy in great condition, but I want an original Cotton Candy. I am going to try antique malls/stores because I might have a better chance at finding them there. I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully you can find G1s soon! :)

Congrats :)

I made the mistake of waiting for someone at a bootsale once, turned around and saw the ponies I was heading for disappearing into an old ladies carrier bag :( I learnt my lesson - at markets/bootsales/charity shops etc I wait for no-one! :lmao:

I have definitely learned my lesson. I wait for no one when it comes to ponies!  :haha:


Well done.  Good pony hunting!  And you never know if that child could grow up into a fellow collector at some point.  After all, a LOT of people returned to ponies after giving them a long break recently...  :)

I really hope that's the case. :) I could have gotten for $2! What a steal! Though if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known someone had G1 ponies and could have potentially missed out on Up Up and Away if I wasted more time. I saw she had Twisty Tails in her hand and my mom asked where she got it and her mom pointed us in the direction of the vendor. You should have seen me run. :lmao:


Thanks everyone for the congrats! I couldn't pass them up! Especially for those prices! I'm going to try and clean them up and restore them to their former glory.  ^.^

Pony Brag Arena / Flea Market Finds!
« on: August 21, 2012, 01:46:51 PM »
I got these back in June, but I wasn't a member back then so I wanted to share my happiness now! I found these from two different people. I found Glory and Confetti for $1.50 each and I got Up Up and Away for $2. The guy I got Up Up and Away from also had Twisty Tails, but some little girl got her before I did. I knew I shouldn't have waited for my dad to catch up. :'( Here they are: Confetti, Up Up and Away and Glory!

Pony Corral / Re: What's the latest pony or MLP item you bought?
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:22:21 PM »
The latest MLP toys I bought were the Heartstrings, Lulamoon and Sunny Rays brushables. My friend gave me Lemony Gem and Vinyl Scratch from the Collector Series Favorites and the Rarity Blind Bag from the Rainbow Set. I almost bought a Majesty at a flea market, but I couldn't justify paying $5 for a really beat up pony (There was a space between the head and the neck, really dirty and off-colored and the cutie mark was pretty faded) when I could get the same one in much better condition for a few dollars more or so on EBay. He also had a Cotton Candy and a Lemon Drop without tails, but wanted $5 for them too. I really wanted them so bad, but I couldn't really justify the cost when I don't have the skills to add tails. Oh well. :(

Hello! I'm Bow Tie! I have been meaning to join for the longest time. I am so glad to finally be apart of this community! My favorite pony is Bow Tie and I am a huge G1 fan, growing up with it in the early 90's (I got my older cousins' G1 hand-me-downs)! I unfortunately don't have my collection anymore, but I have been slowly getting my ponies back and gaining new ponies! I also collect G4 ponies. My favorite G4 pony is Rarity. I can't wait to meet everyone here! :)
