Collectors, opinons please! :)
« on: May 21, 2013, 10:25:00 AM »
Do you think that £30 (45 USD) for 6 ponies (collectors pose cotton candy, blossom, bowtie, butterscotch and apple jack. And gusty) is a good deal? £5 (7 USD) each seems pretty good.

Also are collectors pose peachy and lemon drop hard to find? i know peachy originally came with the grooming parlor but this seller has both her and LD so i was thinking of just getting them. :)

thank you in advance!

All of those are very common except for Gusty (who isn't rare, but not quite as common as the rest of the ones listed.)  7$ each isn't a good price unless they're all absolutely minty, even at that... Peachy and Cotton Candy are the most easily found of all G1's. 
G1 Wishlist  It's the final countdown! Looking to purchase the last few G1's for my collection - Watercolor Baby Sea Ponies Foamy, Misty & Surfy - Red Roses - SHS Sweet Sundrop - Springy - Teeny Tiny Snookums (#2)

They would need to be very, very minty to tempt me... especially the Butterscotch as it's difficult to find her without a single mark on her.

mm. Agreed. As a fellow UK collector, I get Cotton Candy for 50p all the time. She is the plague where I live.

It's an okay price, but if you hunt you can probably find a better one! Usually pony lots go for a lot less. I would keep hunting personally, or check for the CP ponies for sale here!

Not the best price for them all. Gusty and AJ are a plus with it... Those are all pretty much common ponies...

Yeah, like Jinxxy said, you can get some great deals here! :o)
(I've got tons of extra common ponies (peachy, lemon drop, AJ, Cotton Candy and blossom included) if you're not super picky about condition...)

My own opinion is based on Gusty being in the bundle as when I'm looking (which is often) she goes between £5 and £10 on her own.

I agree with most of the others, the price is a bit high for what you are actually getting. I would keep looking you can always pick the ones listed for cheaper if you look round

thank you everyone! :) this was helpful! luckily the seller is selling each pony as a pick-n-mix so i can pick and choose. was definitely gonna get gusty because she is in pretty good nick and on ebay i can only find her for like £7 or £8 and up. AJ is in collectors pose which was a europe only release (says my little wiki) so might go for her too.
i wanted to ask before i bought them
thank you for the advice!!

Definitely go for CP AJ as she's being going for similar prices to Gusty recently sometimes more. Good luck with your purchases  :biggrin:

If she is letting you pick and choose you should ask for pictures of Butterscotches condition. Although common enough she is not a super easy pony to find in wonderful condition so to be honest for that price range I think if she was minty she would be worth it.

Other than Gusty as others have said those prices are high, not silly, embarrassing high but higher than you would expect to pay if you shopped around.

Lemon Drop and Peachy, especially Peachy, are 2 of the easiest to find ponies of all G1s - even in minty condition I would hold back on paying that kind of per pony price for them.

Good luck!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

If Bow Tie is in the Collector's pose as well, she might be worth that. She was a UK exclusive in that pose, like AJ. Depending on condition, of course. Happy shopping!
Thanks so much to Calico_Star for her beautiful work on my Avatar!
