Off Topic / Grand Champions Experts! i'm curious
« on: May 04, 2014, 05:14:53 AM »
 :lol: :blush: :lookround: 

Okay so i casually collect Grand champions horses, i have my entire childhood collection still minus 3 or 4 that got lost in a move as a kid.   i am sentimental about them, and also rescued a big trunk of them a few years back from being burned by my aunts neighbor in a trash barrel!  :blink:

So i got nipped by the bug again (darn you childhood nostalgia!)
     and so i just started browsing ebay to see if maybe any job or bait lots for cleanup were around.  they used to be pretty easy to come by.   and my jaw about hit the floor seeing some of the high prices a lot of the auctions were bringing.   :what: :dropjaw:

Grand Champions expert collectors please may i get some education on why and which horses are considered so valuable.  :read:  I want to know so just in case i dont customize or try to rehair any that might be considered sacrilege  :P .   and also if i see any at the thrift store or flea market which to keep a general eye out for to not leave behind. 

i can post pics of my collection later  :lol:   i would love to see others too! 


recent auctions that blew my mind:

there is also a live auction i wont post links to thats on ebay right now that is at the 400 mark for TWO.   :|  im just baffled.  GC horses used to be a cheap guilty pleasure for me lol, and to see them surpassing the prices of breyers is crazy.

aw thats sad they are so negative :(  i really dont think shes that bad..  i mean look at the size and they really did attempt to make a teeny new sculpt of an actual old sculpt.  plus that little book is adorable!   the price certainly seems high to me, but such is life lol.    maybe ill just go leave a nice review :P   i want more retro stuff here in the us!   would have died if we got that pretty UK mug that got released.   adorable.

oh im not unhappy i purchased her! :P  i still like her in her own special pony way. heck its firefly!!  and the little book is very pretty :)  i gotta admit the resculpted teeny star brush is adorable.   im just amused and a little surprised with the route they took with that head design.  if it was smaller so to be proper with the body she would be fine.   hmmmm i wonder if i could shrink one  *taps fingers*

also on a bad note:  my fireflys tail is missing 3 hol hair plugs :(  i was sad.  but just going to plug it up with some flesh colored super sculpey lol im lazy right now

 :P  Hey guys i am looking to buy or trade for G1 MLP Big brother chief's fireman hat

or if i could get a nice combo of a Nice looking chief WITH his hat. thanks!

I do have sluggers helmet i would be willing to trade for the fireman's helmet. as well as other trade items should you be interested   thanks!

 ^.^ This is to be a gift for a fireman, so the fire hat and the pony if your selling the pony must be in at least nice display condition. no cut hair or major discoloring (spots ok), no bibbles or chunks missing out of plastic.

Off Topic / Sooooo... about disney official frozen merchandise.
« on: April 05, 2014, 10:32:03 AM »
 :| :lookround:

Has anyone been watching the botched handling of the frozen frenzy by disney corp. and the disney store/disney parks??

 :huh: :shocked:  i have been frankly shocked at the lack of frozen merchandise and marketing considering all the hype from adults and kids alike.   I can see the original stock from november going out fast after everyone caught on to liking it.   but to see every thing and anything frozen completely barren. is shocking. considering there was a very very tiny restock for like an hour on the disneystore.com so i read and then everything was sold out again! >_<

The thing is, i have been watching a lot of parents desperately trying to get their kids merch, and especially the elsa dress for little girls.  i was shocked to see the prices silly little disney store toddler dresses were going for.  i feel bad for anyone trying to get their kid one.  :blink:   

does anyone have any idea why the disney company hasnt ordered or made more merchandise since the original release?  and they refuse to tell customers if they are ever making the dresses again or anything else frozen related for that matter. 

as an adult collector who loves elsa, the only things i own were what i was able to snag back in november which was a sparkle mattel cheap elsa doll and the art of frozen book a friend got me for christmas LOL. also snagged the free elsa infinity figure the day of the dvd release
 :blush:   
by the time i wanted anything which was 2 days after the release of the movie in theatres mind you..  the disney store was already sold out of anything frozen i wanted.  i just wanted the snowglobe (please tell me disney will make another snowglobe and hopefully a nicer looking one maybe with the ice castle?), the disney store regular elsa doll and the elsa mug.   

 -_- :huh:but they havent restocked anything.   nor have the disney reps given anyone any indication that they will be (they would be idiots not to right?)     so why is the disneystore and the parks not releasing or ordering more frozen merch?   does it have something to do with the manufacturer times?    :work:

also anyone know of any adult merchandise coming out at all??
