While this isn't exactly ideal for me, I'm honestly just happy to have the "exclusive"... Not necessarily for so much of what characters it encompasses, but moreso as a specific souvenir.  I've gotten the exclusive from each fair that I've been to as a momento of my time there and the people I got to hang out with.  I can understand it to be frustrating but maybe try to change perspective a bit... Or next time maybe just don't pre buy the exclusive? ;). We will have a great time regardless of who the exclusive is!  I'll be in Chicago this time next week Whoo hoo!!

I tried finding you the other day when I saw MO baby on eBay.  All I could remember was this was the last pony you needed to complete your US release set, but could not remember your name.  I tried looking at several different threads and came up empty handed.  Anyway, I hope you saw and conquered!

That is SO SWEET of you to think of me!  I really appreciate it.... and YES!  I got her!  I was seriously shaking and my palms were literally SWEATING the last ten minutes.  Once I won her it SERIOUSLY took me about an hour to calm down.  I just kept circling the house, walking outside, watering the trees...cause I was still shaking haha!  I'm waiting for her to officially come in now before I can OFFICIALLY celebrate, but to be honest, my celebration has already begun lol!    :frolic: :newpony: :newpony:

Thanks again for trying to find me -- super sweet of you!!  :lovey: :lovey:

I'd probably just be a plain ol' unicorn!  It's partially why I've always gravitated towards Gusty... Plain white, simple hair, awesome symbol (I love nature and trees).  Plus, I've always assumed her to be into sports - which I also adore.

Nothing super fancy! :)

Does anyone have pictures of their ponies in Detolfs?  I was going to try to buy Billys this summer, but now you've all got me thinking...

I went with 4-Speed since he was the first big brother pony I ever got (and subsequently one of my favorites).  It was between him, Steamer, and Chief (the second and third big brothers I ever got lol).

IF I wasn't playing with my heart and picking just because they were from my original collection, I may have to go with Lightning (even though I don't have him...yet!).

It's beginning to seem like I'll never get the Mail Order Baby (from the Mommy & Baby Set)... I know she's out there, it just doesn't seem like she's been available since I've been hunting for her actively.  My timing just apparently is horrible. :cloud:  I'm ready with the money -- who wants to sell?!?  Pretty please?  :flow:   LoL

It'd be awesome to get a real reverse Gusty, but that won't happen.    :yikes:

**Bump - any clue?  I can't find really any record of her on eBay..?

Thanks :)

When we did our Pacific Northwest camping vacation last summer (Olympia, North Cascades, Mt. Ranier, Crater Lake), we made it as far south as Lassen Volcanic and the Redwoods - so I haven't made it to Yosemite yet (we totally need more time for that park).  Love the pictures!

Is it just the normal G3.5 Toola Roola?  I have her MIB for sale if you are interested - just shoot me a pm!  Lol

I know sometimes the distribution is crazy, so maybe that was the case for her, too!   :lovey:

I've got random blind bags hanging out on our thermostat in the hallway :)

Ok, so I have been doing price checks on a lot of my MIB G3s since I am looking to sell most of them; however, there is one that I can find no trace of anywhere.  It's the Shimmer Shine as the Flower Petal Princess Mint in Box set.  She still lights up when you press the flower on her head. 

ANY clue how much she may go for?  Thank you! :)

Pony Corral / Re: 'Old' collectors: how have things changed?
« on: June 07, 2016, 08:24:07 PM »
My Little Pony Monthly was my favourite thing, a news letter with fan stories and amusing articles written by other collectors.  Mostly it was stories, which came in serial instalments.  This is before the days of easy fan fiction aggregate sites.

Tabby's old website still has all 101 Monthly releases if you care to scroll down memory lane! - http://fakiespaceman.com/dv/monthly.htm   I occasionally submitted a very poorly constructed "Talk show" segment in some of the issues (Gusty and Tabby's Talking Times...or something corny like that).  Tabby was actually the first person I ever bought ponies from online.

I was just in junior high when I entered the community back in 97/98, so I remember my mom being very wary of me sending checks to some people online for ponies that I may or may not receive - but thankfully I always received each one.

I remember hanging out on Dream Valley's chat, using Yahoo! auctions, and using AOL Instant Messenger to chat with some of my pony pals that actually had AOL at the time.

Those Webrings were hilarious - some of the sites would never work - some would take forever to load due to all the pictures and sounds - and I remember always trying to create a webpage (with Tripod and Geocities), but then I'd get frustrated and give up.

Good times!

Off Topic / Re: Which states should I visit next?
« on: June 06, 2016, 02:21:50 PM »
The states I'm currently considering is;
• Colorado
• Montana
• Wyoming
• South Dakota
• North Dakota
• Kansas
• Iowa
• Nebraska

Great list of possible states!  There are only three states I haven't been to yet (Delaware, Alaska, and Hawaii), so based on what you've said you enjoy, here's my thoughts:

-Colorado - Lots to do if you love the outdoors (Colorado Springs is tourist-filled with Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods... Go north to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park)

• Montana - Huge state with big skies!  One of my favorite states.  This is a state that's great if you enjoy the outdoors.  Glacier National Park is one of my favorite national parks - a true hiker's paradise.

• Wyoming - Along with Montana, this is the other one of my favorite states.  As with Montana, it's a great state if you enjoy the outdoors.  Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park (my personal favorite of all national parks) are wonderful to experience.  Even if you aren't a huge hiker, the tourist area of Jackson Hole is very beautiful.

• South Dakota  - Anytime we go West we tend to pass through South Dakota.  I always stop at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, as well as the Badlands National Park.  There is also Wind Cave National Park (really neat), and there's a lot of nature in the BLack Hills area, as well.  More tourist areas are Mount Rushmore and the carving of Crazy Horse.

• North Dakota - From what I have experienced, there isn't a toooon here, but I thought Theodore Roosevelt National Park was awesome.

• Kansas - Kansas is another state we tend to drive through when going West.  A lot of people think Kansas is boring - and some of it is - but it has sections of beautiful hills and some powerful storms (if you're into that kind of thing!).

• Iowa - I'm personally not a huge fan of Iowa, but that doesn't make it bad!  When I was younger we went to the Amana Colonies there. 

• Nebraska - Like Iowa, I'm not a huge fan, but the people are nice!  I personally don't have many suggestions of things to do there.

If you enjoy shopping, you may want to visit Chicago, Illinois or St. Louis, Missouri.  The West part of St. Louis has two great outlet malls with tons of shopping opportunities.  St. Louis has historical areas and nightlife, and the St. Louis Arch.  Our zoo is huge (and FREE!), and the city museum is awesome to explore.  We also have a great science center (that's FREE, too)! :)  You may want to swing by and see the St. Louis Cardinals play baseball, too. ;)

Wherever you end up, it sounds like you are going to have FUN!!!  :)

Galaxy... Pink / Purple are not my choice colors for a pony I adore - but darn it, I think she is GORGEOUS! :)
