The more expensive G1 U.S. Ponies?

[NovelNerd]

Hmmm, I've decided to have a collect them all attitude since I just well...love them all.  I used to mostly get Nirvanas but at the moment gonna focus on the U.S. Release ponies. I know of course Mimic and Rapunzel fall into the more pricey girls. Those of you collecting these guys which have you found to be the most expensive of the U.S. Releases or even just the harder to find ones that are also pricey? Thanks!

Mermaid babies

I find in particular Baby Pearly, the pink one can be outrageously expensive. Which is strange. I would have thought her the most popular back in the day, being pink and all.... 

[Haruna]

Hmm, Baby Sugarcake and Baby Gametime. Near impossible to find (at least in Sugarcake's case; Gametime shows up more frequently) and extremely expensive. But oh so cute . . .

A couple of those mentioned aren't US ponies but global release ponies.  Reason I mention this is that sometimes certain ponies show up more often for some reason in different countries. For example I've seen more Windy Wing ponies from Germany than from the UK or the US on ebay in general, including Cool Breeze.

Some of the genuinely US/Canada ponies command a higher price because they are exclusives and not sold in Europe (the mermaids come in that category). US sellers actually don't make the most of all their exclusives, though, which means some of them go more cheaply

(I also mention it because I get fed up with seeing some of my childhood ponies labelled US ponies but that's just me)
