Pony Brag Arena / Awesome Private Swap with Crowning_Glory!!!
« on: September 16, 2013, 05:40:45 PM »
So, Crowning_Glory was nice enough to do a private swap with me to help me get some feedback. Well, I'll just say that she set some pretty high standards. The package actually arrived on Friday. The mail carrier dropped it off 20 minutes before I was leaving town. I did manage to snap some pictures for a brag.

So, here's everything unboxed and unwrapped.

Where to start, where to start!!! Got a lovely combo of adults and babies and G1 and G3. I've been holding back on Dancing Butterflies, and this one's a beauty! She's so bright and cheery. She makes me happy just looking at her. And babies!!! Who doesn't love babies! A cute little Baby Ribbon and Baby Sundance. (I was actually lucky to find a mommy for Baby Sundance today. Yay!) And the Super Long Hair girls! Petal Blossom and Rainbow Flash! I couldn't make it passed the weekend without a little braiding.

And then there's the stuffed animals! Classic and current Share Bear! What wonderful shades of purple. There's even a matching poseable. Fun! and then there's the unicorn, Wishful. My daughter snatched her up for a hug. When I reminded her she was mine, tears started to flow. I offered to share. Her only request was that she could sleep with the doll. How could I say no?

So, Crowning_Glory went above an beyond completely. There were blind bags. (I'm loving the boys. Hello, Big Macintosh!) And look, is that Sunset Shimmer? Why, yes. Yes, it is! And a keychain, and stickers, and a crafty kit! I'm one spoiled girly!

Thank you so much, Crowing_Glory! I love everything!

(And a quick thank you to my assistant, Figaro. Not sure how I could have snapped such good photos without him.)

I saw that, do you think that they will price match Hasbro's page?

I honestly don't know. Sometimes, it isn't just a matter of whether a particular chain will match but also whether a particular location will match.

You're lucky if you're finding them in your area though. I've yet to see the bakery set here in Houston.

On a side note, I believe the Hasbro shop offers free shipping at $50. You could always get something for yourself to get you to the minimum.  ;)

Very cute! Is she working to complete any sets, like Hello Kitty, Disney Princess or Barbie? Has she found their pets?

BABIES - OUTDATED

I only have a few, so I've listed pretty much any I don't have, unless I knew I definitely do not want it. I've also listed some international/nirvana, because you never know what a person may happen upon for a good price. But, whatever will be fine. Just have fun! See the end of the post for Swap related questions.

Got questions? I've got answers!
Spoiler
Condition Preferences:
* Very minimal to no haircuts. I've never rehaired and not wanting to try now.
* Somewhat frizzy hair
* Some marks, including initials, etc on hooves
* I don't need MIB, because I like to open them and brush their hair.

What is Unacceptable to You:
* BBE babies are not my favorites
* No baity ponies
* Babies needing repairs that a newbie couldn’t fix

Likes/Dislikes: Likes - Cats (I have 2.), hedghogs, otters, pink, purple, blue, turquoise, dark chocolate, fruity flavors and scents (especially raspberry, mango, etc). Dislikes – Peanut Butter (yuck!)

Allergies: No food or smell type allergies. I’m allergic to plant molds, so super moldy ponies would probably not be the best

Other Collections: Not much really, except for the hedgehogs, and scrapbook supplies. Hello Kitty is fun (and her friend Chococat)

Partner, do you mind received a decorated box?
Absolutely not! Bring it on!

Partner, what are your favourite colors?
pink, purple, blue, turquoise

Partner, I may want to draw you some pony art. Would you prefer a drawing of your pony persona, or would you rather have a drawing of your favorite Hasbro pony?
I actually don’t have a pony persona. But, I have been thinking about what I might like. I was thinking about a hedgehog by a flower or sitting and holding a flower. Man, Trying to decide on a favorite is hard. Starshine, Magicstar, Bubbles, Posey maybe for GF1. (Thinking of having a Posey herd. Have 1 regular girl and 1 Argie baby) Fluttershy, Applejack, Dewdrop Dazzle I guess for G4.

Partner do you think of baby accessories.  that are not specifically on your wish list.
I didn’t list any specific accessories, so have fun with it.

If you had to choose, would you enjoy opening more presents or having fewer, but more expensive, swap gifts?
Either works for me. It’s the thought that counts.

What kind of candy (the more specific the better) do you like?
Dark chocolate, and since this will be in November, it shouldn’t melt in the Texas heat. Raspberry, Blueberry, Watermelon, mango flavored things. I love Raspberry M&Ms, Ghiradelli dark chocolate, oh and Nerds. And I love dark chocolate Raisonets. Please, no peanut butter! Totally not a fan.

If I am not a pony customizer or artist(drawing/painting) what other handmade items do you like? (examples...shirts-pls list size, totes, jewelry, candy etc...)
Anything works for me. I’m a crafter, so I appreciate the work that goes into things. If it’s a fitted shirt, medium or large. Non-fitted shirt, then small or medium.

What smells do you like/hate?
I’m not a fan of florals, like lavender and such. I’m a fruity type person like mango or peach. I also like cupcake and frosting scents.

Kind of odd ball question....do you prefer the Sun/Day or Moon/Night?
I like the day time, but I really tend to stay up way too late at night

Do you like pony merchandise? If so, which generation(s) and what type(s)?
Sure! I’d really like some stamps (like the kind you ink and stamp to make an image). But anything is fine. I do have the Pinkie Pie G4 mug and a new MightyFine Lyra keychain.

Do you have pets, and would you like treats or toys for them?
I have two kitties. Jet is 14 and Figaro is 2.5. Jet is on a very special diet for kidney disease. And figgy is getting to be a piggy! So, toys if anything. They aren’t really fond of balls, but love fluffy catnip toys.

Do you have a spouse, partner or roommate that might like to receive some goodies? If so, what do they like?
My hubby likes York peppermint patties, and Hot Tamales

Do you have tiny humans (children), would they like any goodies and if so, what kind?
I have a 5 year old daughter who loves ponies. She likes all generations, but loves G1 and G4. And if it’s sweet, she’ll eat it. Except peanut butter. My son is 8 and so hard to figure out at times. He also likse dark chocolate. He’s into Lego’s, including the blind bags, marbles, dice and polished rocks/gems. (ex: quartz)

Partner: What animals do you enjoy/ have collections of and would love to have more of?
I have two spoiled kitties. But, I actually collect hedgehogs. In fact, I hope to "collect" a live one someday. I also like otters.

Partner, if I found one of the wingers on your wishlist but she didn't have her wings, would you still want her or no?
My first choice would be with wings, but it sounds like there are some lovely replacements available

I know your wishlist said you didn't care much for BBEs but would you want one thrown in as an extra? I have one in really nice condition that needs a loving home
Again, they aren't my favorites, but I will happily accept anything. The searching for gifts and receiving a surprise as well are the best parts.

Do you have any hobbies, such as painting, building model rockets, etc.?
I'm scrapbooker and card maker. The smell of new paper makes me happy! :art:

Hockey is HUGE in Canada...are you into any sports?
Football is huge in Texas and I’m a loyal supporter of my alma mater, The University of Texas. I’m also a Houston Astros and Houston Texans fan. I personally don’t play any sports, though.

How do you feel about head-body mismatch?
I can usually fix crazy hair, but that's one thing I don't have the skills for. So, a tiny bit of difference is ok, but nothing drastic. Of course, if you've already bought one like that, please don't try to replace it. I'd still cherish it.

Would it be ok if your partner finds a white pony that is not so white, but great in every other aspect?
I guess it depends on the severity. If she's the color of butter, probably not. But I'm ok with dingy or lightly yellowed bodies. That's about the only way you can find some white ponies. Again, if you've already acquired one, please send her on.

Would you like/enjoy lotions, makeup, body sprays or body washes as part of your extras?
It’s a nice thought, but not really. I’m the type of person who has to actually smell it before I buy it in order to decide if I really like it. Plus, I have a lot of lotions, etc.

What is your favorite Holiday and would you like holiday items added to your box for fun?
Um, I enjoy Christmas and Easter. But I should be receiving my box right around my birthday on November 15th. Feel free to include whatever you’d like. I’m going to be happy regardless of what’s included.

I have been trying to sunfade a pony. It appears on my partner's want list. I have had it in the window for probably 4-5 months... and seen no progress... The pony originally came with a bib, if you put her bib on you cannot see the flaws- it has also been cleaned from RUST (to the best of my ability- which I will admit isn't the greatest)-  It is RARE/HTF .....would you like this pony?
Absolutely, positively!

Marks on NDS?
Same as above.

Partner: are you ok with a pony that smells musty due to mildew ect on the inside of the body that is 100% removeable but still leaves a smell behind even though the body on the outside is flawless?
The only concern I really have would be extensive mold because of allergies, but I’m sure I could figure out a way to remove or cover a mildew type smell.

Do you like stationery? What's your favourite kind? Stickers/journals/pens/sticky notes?
As a scrapbooker, I love all things paper. Notepads, pencils, pens, magnets, etc are always fun.

if you have kids, are they allowed chocolate?
They are, but they prefer dark chocolate and no peanut butter. But, don’t feel obligated; we usually got through and purge their uneaten candy at least once a year.

When did you fall in love with MLP/how big is your collection so far?
I remember having tons of ponies when I was little. I can’t remember each and every one, but I do remember that I had the Show Stable, Lullaby Nursery, Ballet Studio, the baby carriage and Paradise Estate. I’m sure I sold them for next to nothing. I started getting my daughter ponies in 2009 maybe, when she was two. I either bought them and put them aside or actually at least gave them to her to unpackage when she got older. She always asks me to play with her. And I started thinking that it would be fun to go to a Pony Fair. Didn’t make it in 2012, but did in 2013, and I was hooked. I’d prefer not to count what either I have alone or in combination with my daughter. I especially don’t want a written record of it. I want to be able to tell my hubby that I honestly don’t know how many I have.

What are some of your favorite foods/drinks?
Tex-Mex (Chuy’s!!!), Five Guys Burgers, non-raw suishi, root beer

Do you have a sweet tooth for things other than candy and if so what do you like/dislike?
Yeah, you could say I have a sweet tooth. I like almost anything sweet, minus things with peanut butter. I especially like tiramisu.

Do you like to read and if so who are your favorite authors?
I go through spells. But when I find something I like, I can’t put it down. I love Rick Riordan, who wrote the Percy Jackson series and a few other series.

Pick three words to describe the decor of the place you like the hang out most (so, either your house, your bedroom, your office, your school locker, whatever!)
My office/scrapbook room - kitties, paper, stuffed

Do you wear hair do-dads? What kind?
I do somewhat. I’m kinda in between hair styles right now. I wear pony tail holders and the occasional headband. My hair is pretty fine, so a lot of barrettes don’t stay well in my hair.

Name two places you'd really like to visit?
Japan and Greece

Partner: are you ok with a pony that has repinked hair especially if she is one whose hair color normally fades to white after time such as Posey, Lickety Split and Princess Serena to name a few?
I guess that as long as I know about it, it’s even and there aren’t pink marks everywhere, that would be ok. I’ve never seen a repinked pony other than in pictures.

Partner: If I find a pony that goes well with something you said you like on your wishlist( type of animal, flower, treat ect) even if that pony is not listed would you still be interested in this pony as EXTRA even though you may get a duplicate?
Absolutely!

Partner: I know you mentioned you are not a fan of eye rubs. If I am able to fix an eye rub to match the other eye perfectly so that you would never be able to tell the rub was there in the first place are you ok with this?
I don’t think it would be an issue. I just don’t have that ability myself; I’m too shaky.

Dear partner, this was kind of addressed already but I need a clearer idea of what you like/don't like...what are your favorite colors? And are there any colors you do not like (very important)?
I believe that I said some of my faves are pink, purple, blue and turquoise. I’m not really fond of army green, I guess. But, I can’t think of any colors that I absolutely detest.

What about a Mexican pony that’s in poor shape?
I've only been collecting for few months, and I even know that Mexican ponies are almost always in bad shape. I think I'd be ok with that as long as none of the hair is cut to the scalp.

Teas or Hot Chocolate?
I like hot tea, but there are only a few I like. Hot chocolate is ok, but not really something I have to have.

Question, if you want tea, what kind of tea do you like? Loose? Bagged? Flavoured? Green?
I usually stick to fruity flavored green teas in bags.

IF YOU'RE WANTING ACCESSORIES: What about accessories for babies that are not on your list? Could you perhaps name some pony sets who have baby accessories you might be looking for?
I’m completely open to anything. Of course, playpens, sandboxes, and such would be fun, but I never look a gift horse in the mouth. If it makes you happy to get it, please do so; I’ll love it!

For those of you who love stickers, what kinds do you like? For example: puffy, 3-D, glittery, flowers, animals, cartoons, scratch n sniff ect...
This is very hard for me. When I scrapbook, I don’t use a lot of stickers unless I’ve kinda coordinated them with the layout. Otherwise, any kind of stickers meant just for fun would be fine. If they are pony stickers, I could use them to decorate boxes and packages.

What TV shows do you like to watch that are currently on air or will be returning for another season ect....
Oh, man! I rarely watch television, unless I’m sitting with my kids. However, I recently started watching How I Met Your Mother. I’m binge watching! I also watch Game of Thrones and Walking Dead. Those are really the only ones that I feel the need to actually follow and keep up with.

Reading! Do you like bookmarks?
Ok, so I like to read, but I’ve mostly been doing it on my Kindle. Plus, I got burned out trying to read the second Tale of Ice and Fire. It was a tough read, and I still haven’t finished it!

Do you like stuffed animals?
I do. The only stuffed ponies I have are the Build a Bear Pinkie Pie and the 20” Pinkie Pie that my daughter and I won from Funko at the fair this past summer.

Ideas for extras that I would love to receive in my box
Well, anything from your part of the country or world would be awesome! I always like goodies that I can’t get here, whether they’re food, post cards or memorabilia. Other than that, other ponies, candy, pens, blind bags (ponies, Lego minifigs, etc.), magnets, anything homemade, stationary, etc. Trust me, I’m extremely easy to please.

Do you mind marks on the bottom of the feet?
Absolutely not.

Hey, does anyone here like anime, like Hamtaro or Hello kitty, or more in-dpth stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Hayao Miyazaki's films like Spirited Away?
I used to watch Inuyasha, but not so much anymore. I do like Hello Kitty, but I LOVE Chococat.

Are there any babies that you already have but might consider receiving an upgrade in the trade?
I only have a couple of G1 babies, so that’s not really an issue at this point.

Partner, I have an adorable Momma and baby pair that I want to send you but neither one is on your wish list, would you still like to have them? I don't want to send you duplicates of something you already have 
Again, I don’t think you’ll have a problem with this. The only pair I have is Sundance. That being said, I do have a few babies that would like mommies (as extras or something) like Glory and Northstar.

Partner: If a pony is a bit more rare or harder to find - are you more flexible with flaws?
Sure. I’m pretty flexible anyway.

Partner: If I have some well loved ponies from any generation and you happen to have younger siblings/nieces/ nephews/ friends with little kids ect would you like me to add them to your box as extras for the kids?
If you want, that would be ok with me. My daughter collects and plays with ponies, too.

Are you ok with tooth rubs on first tooth babies?
Yes. It’s really hard to find one that doesn’t have a rub.

But listen, partner... I did start recently making my own chocolate candies (you know, the melts you buy and pop into molds) - light, dark and white chocolate. I've been wrapping them in tin foil and putting them in little baggies... would it be okay (if you like chocolate) if I included some hand-made chocolates like that? 
I would love that!

Partner, who is your favorite Big Brother pony?
I don’t really have a favorite. I also don’t have any Big Brothers at all. If I could only have one, I would like Tex. I feel it’s an obligation considering where I live.
