It might also have something to do with the fact she had a whole episode about her (the golden horseshoes)? It could've made her more interesting as well.
If you have G1 MLP fabric for sale please drop me a line (large quantity even better ;-))

This is exactly why I wanted her very badly when I was a kid. Sadly I don't think she was ever sold in my country. I also had an awesome sticker of her which made me like her more. When I started properly collecting I got her quite fast, I think I paid $60 for a NM Mimic. I love her unique colour and the pose which isn't too common either. And I love Twinkle Eyes and unicorns, so yeah... :biggrin:

But for example I do not like Rapunzel, I think she's kinda ugly.. *dodges fakies* If I'd get one I would sell it to someone who actually likes her.

Dug this out of the annals of the past--  (Church of the Holy MOC Mimic)

"Our Mimic who art in our Pony Room, Hallowed be thy name...

We humbly ask thy will be done, bless us with this pony one. We ask thee to temporarily paralize the fingers of those who try to outbid us, and if they be a zero bidder, may they endure thy wrath and suffer thy trespasses. I may forgive those who trespass against us, but maybe i won't :) Because you led us meekly into this temptation, so deliver us from evil, AMEN"


But my favourite bit is 'Fakie Hell'

http://www.geocities.ws/churchofmimic/fakie.html


LMAO! :haha: But what happens when a whole bunch of Church of Mimic members unknowingly try to bid on the same one at the same time? Will they all sit at their computers with paralyzed fingers?

Nope they were boxed in the same quantities per box :) It was a standard 6 set assortment - I have sales lists from that year and the set could be purchased in 12, 18 or 24 assortments - with 2, 3, or 4 of each pony in it.

As others have said its just popularity. Red Roses, Princess Taffeta, Baby Leaper, Diamond Dreams and Lemon Treats all suffer the same kind of inflated price in comparison to their set companions. The more people who want them the higher the price they can command.

That is so weird... I wonder where on earth I remember reading that?  I don't usually have pony dreams that actually make any sort of sense, so I'm wondering if I just read/interpreted something wrong?  Sorry for the false info :blush:

It could be how I typed it...not the first time I waffle on about something and it does not come over the way I intend it :) Pretty common problem for us spam posters :P
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!

She may be sought after, but not rare as Rapunzel or Sweet Scoops who I rarely see pop up. I've spotted 2 different lots in the last week with a hidden Mimic. Hope more pop up like that so those without her can snag a good deal!

A MOC Mimic sold for $1300 on eBay the other day.  :blink: I'd love to have her in my collection one day, but there's no way I can spend $100+ for a pony. Hopefully I'll get lucky and be able to get her for a lot less. I can dream, right?  :P

I saw that, I just bought one too, not even close to that price though.

There is a MOC mimic up for sale on the arena right now. It's far out of my league, but it's a gorgeous item for anyone who has the money for it :)
