Pony Corral / Re: Best / cheapest way to make shelf risers?
« on: June 01, 2022, 06:23:48 AM »
I bought some transparent plastic ones at Target a week or 2 ago, they were in the front 'Dollar Spot' area of the store. They came in a 2-pack for $5. I put up a post in the Pony Corral section about it with a picture recently if you want to check it out. I'd put the link here, but I don't know how from my phone.

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 5/27/2022 Lucky the Stallion

I never got him for real. I remember the pamphlets with him in, and wanting him...my friend Kim had an all-blue baby pony that I coveted so much and I thought was him. She gave him to me when I had to have a medical procedure, and I was scared and needed something to hold on to. I assumed 'he' was Lucky, and always referred to 'him' as such. Come to find out as an adult collector that it was actually a blue Ember pony she gave me. I still refer to my original Baby Ember that Kim gave me as 'Lucky' in my head sometimes and think of him as a boy still.

What a sweet friend

She was. It's one of those little kindnesses I never forgot!

Firefly, Cotton Candy, Glory, Gusty, Minty...those are probably the most iconic if I had to guess!

(I'm trying to answer the question from a non-collector point of view...my answer would be different if I had to say collector favorites!)

I think you're being way too lenient; a pandemic can only be an excuse for so long. It's 3 ponies. I'm a busy mom with zero downtime for hobbies, and I still managed to rehair 3 ponies in the space of 3 years. Post offices are still up and running, and unless they are severely immunocompromised, and I'm assuming that they are not if they are attending cons, there is no excuse for not being able to drop your ponies in the mail, finished or not, and return your property.

I'd try contacting them by whatever means you have of reaching them; just state that you'd like them returned, assembled or not, and if you don't get a response, you're well within your rights to ask them in person at the con about them, where they can't hide behind a screen or a pandemic. They probably won't have them on hand, but at least you'll know your message was delivered. If they then don't send them within a reasonable time frame, I would leave appropriate feedback to warn others not to do business with them.

I was lucky to get her in an inexpensive Ebay lot. She sports gorgeous new wings from Crowning Glory (although she has to share them with Pink Dreams and they fight over them sometimes). I don't know how clear these photos will show up...hopefully they look okay.

We will get new episodes in September with a winter-themed special as well (or to follow? I forget and am too lazy to check). We should get more episodes after that in Spring. The first episode drops will be in sets of 8.

That long? Wow, I thought maybe they would release one every week for 8 weeks or something. Hard to get too excited about something that far off.

I watched it with my girls this morning. I liked the Posey character. My daughters were excited to see her...they recognized her right away from G1 fame. I hope they continue to focus on other characters like this, rather than just the 'Mane 5'; the only one of the main characters that doesn't annoy me is Zipp. (Hitch is okay, I guess...I just don't know why he had to be so weird and secretive about the egg.) Even if they just introduce one new character per episode. I'm always curious about the other residents of Maretime Bay, Zephyr Heights, and whatever the unicorn city is called.

Anyone know how often new episodes will be dropped?

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 5/24/2022 Baby Half Note & Baby Sleepy Pie
« on: May 24, 2022, 06:35:55 PM »
I have BBE Half Note and *think* I have a Sleepy Pie? Not even sure if I've acquired one in a lot or not.

Weird question: Sleepy Pie came with the purse, which was available before the BBE ponies were released. What pony came with the purse before BBE ponies were in existence? Or am I mistaken? I feel like I had a pamphlet showing the purse with a white, standard-eyed pony.

Baby Crumpet maybe?

That's right, Baby Crumpet did come with a purse! But did she exist before Baby Sleepy Pie? I need to dig that pamphlet up to see.

Welcome, Jenn! I got accepted to art school and never went. I regret it! My son is almost 7 and loves ponies. So do my 3-year-old twin daughters. What must it be like to grow up as a child who has parents that love toys as much as you do?! A lot of fun, I would think. ;)

I have officially completed my last round of chemotherapy!! Just in time, apparently. My lab tech informed me that it was a good thing, because my veins were looking angry and she was having a hard time finding one to put an IV in (I refused to have a port). So while treatment is far from over, I get a much-needed break from sticks and yucky chemicals! :beerchug: :yippee: :cheer: :party: :green:

Can't see the symbol, but HQG1C sold twins: Marina & Delphina look the same as each other except for symbol (Delphina's is dolphins). I have Marina, & Customised a pegasus to kind of go with her (Squalina)

I didn't realize they were twins! I knew about Delphina, not sure why I picked one over the other when I ordered. I think maybe I was planning on customizing at the time so the symbol didn't matter, and then I found a blank in that pose for cheap so I just kept her as is.
