unlucky ponies and pony items

[gabumon]

ever since I proudly stated (here) that I like the G3 Donkey pose... they keep creeping up on me!!     Someday I should take a pic I guess...

Also, for some reason, I am literally unable to find any of the G1 original six at thrift stores. I think the closest I got was a baity Peachy.

Really?  I'm cursed with Blue Belle's! Seems every time I get a batch of G1's lately, there's a Blue Belle in there.

Yup, the original six constantly elude me! And I swear that it's only me. Everybody else is drowning in seas of Peachys, Blue Belles, or Snuzzles, and I don't own any of them! Minty has literally become equal to a grail to me.

I bought a beautiful Bow Tie mirror from eBay about 5-6 years ago. Not only did the seller send it to the wrong buyer, but it wasn't packaged properly and got smashed in transit. I had my money refunded obviously, but I have not seen another since.

I really want G1 Minty. But I can never find a good condish one on ebay or etsy. Ugh

Mm, I wanted a Blossom. I bought her, and she had pindot. Like, all over her. So I took a MMC eraser and now she's good as new

Maybe you'll be lucky like me... I never got one, then finally got one 'thrown in' to a lot I bought on ebay... and she's an Italian!

Mine is Hula Hula... I've bid on DOZENS of them, and always get outbid.. I'm not going to pay $10+ for her, she's not worth that! What's the deal with her being so popular?! I just want to update my poor old one, because well.. she's beyond bait even, with cuts and holes, and barely any hair.

do you ever have a pony or pony related item you just have some much bad luck with getting.
come share a story.

i have a few.
one is the silly silver hand bag to the G1 pony wear, iv bought and traded it so often and it usually gets left out of package, arrives damaged, i finally bought one (the last one) of a good pony friend of mine, it was dirty so when i cleaned it all the silver came of it COMPLETELY  .......... give up i say to my self.

one is the G4 wave 3 blind bag GoldenGrape boy, i kept on and kept on getting out bid some time later i finally won him payed heaps for shipping for such a small thing just to have the seller write the wrong address on the packaged, got refund went to another seller only for the package to get lost in the mail after waiting well over a month for it 

oh for goodness sake 

my other things are;
it took me 10 peachys to get a decent one and they are soooooooo common 

also the darn glittery blind bags, after months and months of trying to complete the wave 4 set and the rainbow target exclusive collection, because they dont sell them here in nz, they just keep on getting lost in the post or arriving damaged 

sorry for the rant BUT really?? why

any other pony peeps have things like this happen?

the rainbow target exclusive collection is getting sold here in big w, so it may be on it's way to nz

I had trouble finding a good condition Sunlight.  My first one had bleeding symbols and my second had manky hair, so I purchased a replacement online - only to find the bottom plugs of her forelock had been cut.  Finally I did a trade with someone from and got a nice version of her
