I don't even find G3 ponies in thrift stores anymore--let alone 50 cent G1s.  It seems like times have really changed with many of the big chains choosing not to sell toys anymore for fear of lead paint/China issues. So, I'd say the only times I get cheap ponies is when I buy a huge lot of them--spending $300-$500 all at once and it might work out to $2-$3 per pony. It just seems inevitable that when there are more eager collectors than ponies that prices will go up accordingly. I do, though, get irritated by people trying to cash in on ponies by saying RARE SUPER GREAT COTTON CANDY PONY! $27.99 That can get old, real fast.

Redoing my list as I've got a bunch more! I hope this reorganization, and numbering the cards, eliminates any confusion. I'm open to all kinds of trades, even if you don't have cards I need, as I'd rather my extras go to other collectors here. Heck, I'd rather give them away than have them sit unused here. I have these extras for trade:

Dear Partner, I would be chasing down your wishlist on eBay tonight but I'm too busy answering these questions.  Just kidding. Sorta. ;p - Would you like to receive other horse/pony/unicorn/pegasus figures that aren't MLP?Oh, sure! You can't go wrong there. - Do you actively collect Nirvanas or International ponies?I don't--but I'd love to start! I have a couple international and/or Nirvana ponies. It is a field I know nothing about, really. - Would any of your be offended by animal parts? Either in food, or in crafts? Like leather/fur/feathers, or bone, or the like?I'd be horrified. Please, for the love of ponies, don't send me animal parts! 
- What are everyone's favorite color to wear?Black, white, sea green, pastel blue, pink, ivory, sage, lavendar - Are there any colours you dislike wearing?I'm a redhead, so I can look pretty ridiculous in some orange or reds. - Do you have any pets? If so, do they like playing with toys and what kind of toys do they like?I have two geriatric once-feral cats. They're still pretty feral, to be honest, and don't play with toys or interact with us very much. - Does anyone like/collect coloring books? If so, just MLP or other kinds as well?I would LOVE a G1 coloring book. I've never had one. I am not a super-huge fan of coloring books in general, but I do have some from some of my other collectible things--like Silverhawks and She-Ra and Muppets--and you can't go wrong there.

Say What! When did they start doing trading cards???? I'm sorry if this was random but this took me by surprise! 
They came out this week in the United States, at least. They are $2.49 per pack at Toys R Us and $1.99 per pack at Target. There are cards showing the episodes, characters, and places around Equestria as well as special foil cards and stand-up cardboard figure cards and temporary tattoos. They're actually pretty adorable and nice quality. Post Merge: July 22, 2012, 06:21:43 AMI've added a bunch more doubles. Does anyone need them?

Favorite animals?Owls, foxes, whales and dolphins. Deer! Favorite season?Autumn. Do you like jewelry/do you have pierced ears?I do not have pierced ears. I do like jewelry, in theory, but I don't wear much now that I have a baby. Every necklace is an invitation for her to try and saw through the back of my neck with the chain.  What kind of weather do you love?Breezy warm summer days and cool, crisp autumn days and still, serene winter snowfall and gentle spring rainfall. I love thunderstorms with a book inside and rainbows and fog. I love weather--until it becomes dangerously dry or dangerously wet or dangerously windy. Do you like tea? What kind?I love tea! I love chai and earl gray and hibiscus. I love white and black and herbal (not so much on the green). Do you like puzzles/crosswords?I used to do sudoku and things but now, with two children under the age of 5, I don't have the free time or mental focus for such things. ;p Do you like getting pony accessories with your ponies?I like getting ponies with my accessories. I buy lots on eBay just for the thrill of sorting through the jumble of accessories when they arrive. I love accessories! But they aren't essential to my enjoyment of a pony. I don't need complete-with-accessories or anything.

Why buy a toy if you're not going to play with it, is what I say. MISB collecting is utterly pretentious jerkhole-ery in my opinion. I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion. I collect both MIB as well as loose/used ponies and love them both equally. For me, having ponies in the packaging, especially when I have many on display, allows me to recreate the visual from my childhood of looking at all the My Little Pony toys at a toy store. They are a visceral reminder of that awe I had, the one time a year I had money from good grades, to choose and buy something myself. They are, like my entire My Little Pony collection, a frozen moment in time from my childhood and a collection of tremendous nostalgia. I don't play with ponies, or any toys for that matter, but that doesn't lessen my emotional response to the items I own. If I wanted to have some sort of status from my collection, something I could be pretentious and brag over, it certainly wouldn't be cheap plastic toys from the 80s. I would think everyone who chooses to collect My Little Pony--regardless of whether it is in box or not, mint or rescued, does it for the love of the ponies. There are a million better ways, as a collector, to get rich or turn a big profit.

What things do you really dislike that we should avoid?I *really* dislike black licorice and coffee. I would also be horrified to get anything made out of leather, feathers, bones, or other animal parts. I'm not a fan of those powdered drink additives, like Crystal Light, and I never developed a taste for pickles or olives. Pony-wise, I'm no fan of fakies! (Sorry, fakies...) Describe your tastes a little more. For example, are you drawn toward bright happy things, nature things, girly frilly things, gothy things, what else describes your taste? Feel free to add to your list of things you likeI'm drawn to things that are serene, natural materials, simple elegant design as well as to playful girly things like Sanrio/Hello Kitty, kawaii stationary, etc. I feel too tall to get away with wearing girly-girly jewelry or hair bows or whatever else, but do like fun, playful, bright colors and designs in housewares, office supplies, etc. I love hearts and stars.

Would you mind if i made costumes for your ponies so they will fit the theme I'm making?The very idea of making costumes for ponies makes me smile. So, sure! That'd be fun(ny). Would you mind all from one gen(what gen?) or prefer mixed?While I listed ponies from every generation, I'd prefer either all G1 or a mixture to include at least one G1 thing. G1 is my favorite, to be sure. What's your favorite pony from each gen?I have always loved Applejack, since I was a little girl. Wigwam, though, is probably my favorite G1. G2, I don't know, but I've seen photos of the unicorns and think they are beautiful. G3, my favorite is Always & Forever. I discovered her in a thrift shop with a bobbed tail and thought she was gorgeous. And G4, my favorite is Princess Celestia. Unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, or alicorn? Yes. Though, if forced to choose, it'd be unicorns. Or earth ponies. Oh, don't make me choose! My person might end up with weird little extras. Do any of you object to random extras I think are neat but are offbeat? Or at least not expected.I don't mind weird. If I get a package of Nascar memorabilia and cough drops, though, I might feel a little let down. So, you know, *fun* weird is good. Do you like nature and traveling places?I do! I'm not as adventurous a traveler now that I have two small children, so we don't go overseas as frequently anymore, but I love getting out and discovering new places and new cultures. Do you like plushies and if so what kind? If you were to get a plushie of a pony which pony would it be?I do! I like the G1 plushes, though I only have Cherries Jubilee. Last year, though, I got a baby Leaper and baby Applejack handmade plush from....is it Anita'sMom? She's famous, but I'm drawing a blank. I love them. If I was to get another plush, it'd be of Wigwam or Starshine.

I have some questions! What are your short-term and long-term MLP collecting goals?How do you feel about merchandise? Do you focus on just the ponies or do you also get a thrill out of pony purses and ceiling fans and wrapping paper and whatever else has been made?How do you feel about Friendship is Magic? Do you watch the show? Do you enjoy it?~*~ To answer: My Top 5I don't want to narrow my wishlist to a 'top 5' for two reasons: I prefer the surprise of truly not knowing what you might find or pick for me AND I don't want my partner to feel they failed if they didn't choose anything in my 'top 5'. So, instead of a top five of ponies, I'll give you a more general one. If I could have five wishes they'd be: to be surprised, to receive a pony in good condition, to receive an accessory of some sort, to make a friend through the swap, and for you to include a note telling me about what you picked and why. What are your short-term and long-term MLP collecting goals?I have a few! My current collecting focus for the short-term is to complete my Paradise Estates, to finish my collection of all the male MLP figures, to buy and display the ponies that I love the most and to gather more accessories for my Pony Dollhouse project. My long-term goal is to collect a MOC/MIB version of every US-released pony. At last count, I'm only about 5% of the way there. How do you feel about merchandise? Do you focus on just the ponies or do you also get a thrill out of pony purses and ceiling fans and wrapping paper and whatever else has been made?I love the G1 merchandise EVEN MORE, if it's possible, than the ponies. Part of it is not knowing what all out out there. There's a world of unexplored collecting waters in merchandise and I *love* that. How do you feel about Friendship is Magic? Do you watch the show? Do you enjoy it?I've watched the first season with my (almost) 5 year old son on NetFlix. I think it is clever, fun, and warm-hearted. We both love watching it together and, given enough time, will watch the rest of the episodes, too. Nothing touches G1 for me, but it is a worthy follow-up, I think, to that world of toys I loved as a child. <3 How about you?

I take what I can get. I love ponies in their original packaging (and keeping them that way). I'd prefer them to be on perfect, unblemished cards but that's not always what's available. And I'd prefer to spend very little in acquiring them, but with eBay, that's not always possible. So, I get what I can and pay what I must to have what I want.

Dear Partner, You are the best. I'm over-the-moon happy to be shopping for you the next couple months. But really, at this rate, if I take two months to shop I'll need a moving van for the box. So, maybe it won't take me very long. But! You are such fun to shop for. Love, Me
