I've not been having much luck thrifting for ponies for the past while... but now, I think my luck is galloping in the right direction again :lol: I'm so pleased with my small finds in the past few weeks that I just had to share!

Three G3 Breezies: Honeydew Hum, Meadow Moon and Azalea Bloom, all pretty close to perfect after their spa visit!

And G4 Pinkie with tinsel, Princess Luna with tinsel, and Cheerilee... with forelock! I didn't even notice til I got home that she had bangs :D The G4s seemed to be in rather rough shape (they looked like little pony tumbleweeds, their hair was that bad) but altogether only cost me $2, so I was pleased anyway... and then, even happier because after deep conditioning and Magic Erasing, Cheerilee and Luna are totally gorgeous! (Pinkie... not so much :drunk: Yeah, that mane's permanently fried :P)

Also, four G3 Ponyvilles--I think it's Desert Rose and Sew-n-So, and two Rainbow Dashes, one with removable hair. And, of course, obligatory McDonalds ponies came along in the thrift baggies too :lol:

And then... vintage Polly Pocket! I couldn't leave these behind--I loooved Polly Pocket as a kid. I could use some help IDing them, if there're any PP collectors here who know what I found? (The ones in bags have figures, which is why they're still in there for safekeeping!)

Cinderella castle, I think? And I believe the yellow compact is a knock-off Snow White?

Carousel, regular sized compact, and a little heart compact with adorable wee flocked puppies. And a thing with a green lid? (McDonalds again?)

I'd been falling out of the habit of going thrifting, but now I'm totally addicted again. The thrill of the hunt! :happy:

Oh, and I'm not 100% settled on what I'm keeping vs trading/selling, so any price checks (on ponies and/or Pollys) would certainly be appreciated :) (Aside from the McDs ponies, heh, I know what they're worth... 'bout the same as poor baity old Pinkie XD)

I have that merry-go-round from childhood ! It is missing the foldable parts on the top and a ticket booth outside in the grass. And the figures, I guess. Does it still spin ? :D

Thank you everyone! :lovey: I'm still so chuffed! :D I've decided to keep just Luna and Cheerilee from the ponies. The Breezies are dang cute but I really can't let myself collect them too :lol:

It does still spin! And thank you! I figured it must be missing some bits along with the figures... it just doesn't look quite right, it definitely needs a top!

Nice finds! Aw, I loved Polly Pockets. So cute.

It IS! I can't believe how many ways it opens up. It needs some cleaning in all those nooks and crannies XD
