Hello guys & gals!

I just joined this forum to get more information about cleaning & restoring older ponies.
I do not have ANY ponies right now *gasp* but I'm working on that. 

I had a large childhood collection of 1980's MLP that I am trying to track down. Neither one of my parents seems to have any clue where my giant trunk of ponies disappeared to - so until I can go hunting for it myself, I took comfort in the instant-gratification that is eBay. I have a bunch of auction wins on their way so I am excited about that.

I've been in love with MLP since they first came out & had dozens of them.  I am afraid to see what condition they are in now (if I can ever track them down!) since one of my favorite childhood pastimes was taking all the ponies into the bathtub with me! So, yeah, not expecting to find too many in pristine condition, and I am expecting there to be a lot of cleaning & TLC needed.

I look forward to reading all your tips & tricks for restoring old ponies to their former glory. I love seeing pictures of all the ponies people have collected, as well.

Hi and welcome!  I really hope you manage to track down your childhood ponies. I used to take mine swimming in the river when I was little so they look a little the worse for wear too, lol.   I haven't replaced them though because of all of the memories they hold.  Best of luck tracking yours down. I hope to see you in the Brags forum soon!

Welcome to the arena Congrats on getting some new ponies, you will need to post pictures when you get them. And I also hope that you find your ponies from your childhood.

Ebay - a dangerous but a wonderful place!

Welcome to the Arena! I hope you enjoy it here and I hope you track down your childhood collection eventually

Thanks everyone!  My father finally found my collection (in plain sight obviously lol My threat to come search for it myself had the intended effect!) So I'm going later today to pick them up. So excited I could burst lol

And Sunday there's going to be a huge flea market in my area selling action figures and MLP! No idea what I'll find, but really hope I make it there & get a few good deals
