Show & tell - what have you seen for sale at UK Ponycon?

[Gingerbread]

I am desperately awaiting to see when this years UK Ponycon is. I so want to go - the past few years it's been too far away for me to travel so I am hoping above hoping that I can get to this years! 

If I can get to Ponycon, I shall not be buying any more ponies (apart from a custom I need - yup, need!!!) and maybe the odd G4 in shops. So no eBay, no Arena or TP purchases...All my pony budget will be spent at Ponycon. Hopefully saving a fortune in P&P charges 

So please tell me and show me what you have seen for sale at previous Ponycons? 

Edited for clarification - UK Ponycon

Are you talking about the Fair in the US or the UK Ponycon? The Fair's dates/location were announced a month or so ago? It will be July 6th and 7th in Indianapolis, IN.

I don't have any pictures as I have never been myself.

I'm going to the US fair for the first time, so even if you're going to the UK one I know how you feel n_n Once I finish shopping for these swaps, I'm going to try really hard not to buy anything until the fair in hopes I can get a lot of ponies for my collection there!!

My bad! UK Ponycon Would love to make it to the US one too but unless I start flapping now I not gonna make it!!!

Sadly the only pics I have are on my phone of my purchases.  I brought 15 ponies in total, 2 G4 and the rest were G1.  I used UK Ponycon (that sounds terrible!) to get all of the more common G1's that I am missing from my collection - as you say you don't have to fork out for P&P.  This year i'm going to save much more and take a massive list, and complete as much as possible!

I went to the 2011 one in Brighton.

Stalls had a variety of things including other vintage toys. G1 was very prominent from what I saw.

[DemureGirl]

I've never been to the UK pony con but I am really hoping to go this year ^^

[Water_Fire]

I am EXCITED about this year's Ponycon! Ponycon 2012 was my first, and I loved it.

On topic, I've seen almost anything and everything pony related for sale there. I bought badges, brooches, jewelry and a bookmark as well as ponies themselves.

Just for fun, and reference (cough), here's the pic of my haul from last year:

There's a bit of everything! You'll see baits, commons, HTFs, rares, nirvanas, all generations and loads of merch I can't wait!

[CupidStrikes]

I've not been to Ponycon yet, but I'm hoping to go depending on where/when it is Hopefully not August as that's when AyaCon is. If it's during term time, gonna have to hope it's not 3 hours+ away from Gloucestershire

I've been to 3 UK pony cons and I've seen everything for sale from common baits to obscure nirvana ponies! Accessories, playsets, MIB G3 ponies....not so many MOC G1s though.

[LadyGuinevere]

I find it varies from year to year Some years merchandise has abounded, other times there has been less. The same applies for say MOCs or Nirvanas.

Normally I have a stall and specialise in Nirvana ponies and other ponies not sold in the UK, however it's unlikely I'll be having one this year.

It was my first one in 2012 and I had the same thoughts. I had no idea what I would see, so I made a list of what I was most looking for and went off that first, then moved off piste when satisfied.

I had a great time there but I was sad that I missed the Pony Ninja as the hotel had complications so we got moved to the hotel over the road.

I was still quite new to collecting then too so I didn't have very many, so there was very little chance of me getting doubles. I got G1, 2, 3, plush, badges, a bracelet (from one of our members daffydilly), and bought a lovely Custom (from Gaspode on the arena) in the auction.
