Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Re: What Are Your Best Care Bear Memories?
« on: September 21, 2015, 01:11:48 AM »
Mine was seeing Cheer Bear at the local toy shop, which is now a fashion store. She was on the floor next to a pillar, I would kiss her head whenever we went in there. They were really expensive back then apparently. Eventually she was unwrapped for my birthday. She appears in many photos through the 80s and I still have her

Compared to Singapore Auckland has absolutely nothing on transport. I lived in Singapore for 2 months near Ten Mile. Transport over there is amazinglying efficient. Be prepared to pay a price to save you travel time in Auckland.

If it helps at all I had some of the most incredible times of my life out of my comfort zone :)

I find buying just before christmas pretty good. I guess people are spending extra money on family so I've often snagged pricey ponies for less. Not sure about selling though.

Excel plus I also list how much I paid, when/who  I bought/sold .. It tallies automatically as I add and delete, pretty scary how much one can spend in 10 years

I saw a G1 likely split at a kids market a few weeks ago. She was in OK condition but I'm kind of thinning the herd so I left her behind. I haven't seen a G1 in tge wild for at least a year or more.

Awesome. They look different to me even if they both originated from same country. Who knows maybe one of them was originally from Aus/NZ or maybe both versions were always available to both locations? Wondering if any of the other birthflowers are different? Rose seems to be one of the easier to find so more likely to be able to compare. Svarta would probably be able to compare a bit more she often has these beauties in her hands.

I'd be interested to see more comparison pics (foalpatrol's picture is showing an error for me?). I've got two myself (meant to upgrade, too lazy/love them both lol) but they're both the Scandinavian version I believe. Funny, what with me living in Australia, I have never seen an alt BF in the wild.



If there truly is a difference between the NZ/Auz & Scandinavia versions I might just have to get a triplet. :P

Do you have a picture of Rose's symbol Tulips?

Would be nice to see some more comparisions

Sea breeze i just noticed red flower looks shorter? Or is this just because pink flower is standing on her tail :p

I think I did tuck the tail behind in that shot so she's not standing on it.

First - oooooooooohhhhhhhh - sooooo pretty!!! Congrats on having 2 such different versions Sea Breeze :) Awesome!

I dont think we have every got to the point of confirming it as there are simply not enough comparisons out there but there certainly are some minor but notable differences in the line (slight mould size and colour on symbols...obviously with Holly being the most obvious as you mention).

The speculation always seems to conclude (as close as you can when we are very much guessing) that its due to how they were sold - i.e. NZ/Auz v Scandinavia. They certainly did not have a long or wide enough release for us to excuse it only as batches/time of manufacture differences. 

However, out of curiosity - were both of yours local NZ finds or is there the possibility one is a Scandinavian release?

The one with the redder rose I believe I purchased from Iceland the Pinker rose is local. I also had another Rose with a Bob cut some years ago she had the Pinker rose too after going back on images :)

MLP Nirvana / Alternate BF variants?
« on: July 10, 2015, 01:52:36 AM »
I'm aware there is a reverse Holly but are there any others? I recently acquired another Rose hoping to upgrade mine. On closer inspection of their symbols my old one appears to have a more 'redder' coloured bud, the newer one is 'pinker'. I had hoped to choose one to keep but know I don't know which one I prefer :)

Hopefully you can see what I'm seeing? Both symbols are the same on both sides of each pony. The leaves appear to be the same on all symbols.

Not so easy to see on this picture but one pony also appears a little taller.

I only noticed that I have two different MO versions of Napper, with their hair in different hues of green:

Cool hair difference :)

With all those differences Cat I'm going with different factories and/or their molds having to be redone quite a bit
