I've had a pretty rough year as it's the first time I lived on my own and became more financially responsible so budget has been very tight. I've already had to sell many other items that I swore I'd never part with, including my jumbo plush Frilly. Being able to keep Tux within my herd and STILL get some monetary help right  when I needed it the most meant so very much. I don't know if the buyer is a member here but I do have her address and I'm still sending her a lil something as a token of gratitude. And even a thank you note from Tux himself hehe

What a beauty!!! And those crabs are so stinkin' cute hehe

As some of you might know, I've fallen on some hard times financially and posted a few sales mentioning having to sell off some of my collection to pay for bills, getting my car fixed, basic living expenses etc. One of my most treasured ponies, Tux, has been up for sale on eBay for months and months at a very high price because I didn't really want to let him go. I had a couple low offers of $50 and $60 but declined as I figured he was worth much more than that especially with the sentimental value I had for him. Finally, today I received an offer of $125 which was more than my $100 BIN price.    Immediately, I messaged the buyer to make sure this offer was not in error and she assured me that it wasn't a mistake that "he was worth it."  After I accepted the offer, I said I hoped he'd be happy in his new pony home and hoped he would bring her all the joy and happiness he has given me through out the years.

And I received this in reply.....


You're not going to believe this . . but Mr. Tux just called me on the phone. I don't know how he dialed with those stiff plastic legs! Anyway, he told me you are a little down on your luck right now, but you'll be back on your feet soon. He said he is so happy I bought him so you could have a bit of money, but then he began to cry. I could tell he was very, very sad and heartbroken to be leaving you. I asked him if he wanted to stay with you, and he perked right up. So he is yours to keep.

God bless and take care. Best of luck to you!


Now, I've heard of things like this happening to other members of the pony community but it's never once happened to me and it couldn't have happened at a more fitting time. I feel very blessed and honored to have been given such a gift and now Tux will be staying with me forever.    Money really is fleeting but a pony's love is forever. 

Wow! What a great find And it looks so super pink and unyellowed!

It is definitely unyellowed and will make a great upgrade from the other one I had that is severely yellowed all around. I was very excited to discovered it was much more dramatically pink!!

The irony is I'd always hoped to find G1  Dream Castle when I first joined the Arena (its already been almost 10 years now!!) and I never had any luck whatsoever. Then within the span of 2 mos I find TWO castles. Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I hope to find some actual ponies next time around!!

Thanks!!! Yes, I do recall a repro site for printable stickers. I'm sure I'll find it. I'm still a bit in finding the blue turrets especially since I paid $30 for mine     But it's such an important part and I didn't think I'd ever find them at GW!!!   Never say never, I guess!!

"pony dessert"

I haven't seen the Princess ponies in at least a few years so this was a very nice surprise to find today while making a Toys R Us visit. Especially finding LUNA!!!! I'm definitely getting her when funds are available. I've wanted a Luna plushie awhile and the only version I have is the light purple Aurora one. This plushie is much better IMH0. I think she looks awesome!!!
