PC on retro shop find
« on: February 13, 2015, 06:09:21 PM »
So today I finally made it back to the retro/vintage shop in my hometown. I only get to go in a couple times a year... they had a couple G1s I had already, some G3s, a couple G4s and a ton of G3 McPonies displayed around a couple G3 playsets.

To be honest they tend to price G3s a little high but at the same time, they're constantly running sales so I seldom end up paying full price. I picked up all 4 G3s they had there, as I didn't have any of them. Here's what I got:

Cotton Candy II (Seaspray pose)
Piccolo
Comet Tail
Comic Con "Graffiti" pony

These four cost me $23 altogether as the owner gave them to me for even cheaper than the 40% off sale price. I think the Comic Con pony makes up for the others, and honestly even if I ended up overpaying I don't mind too much for the sake of supporting a small local shop, but I'm not too good on G3 pricing, especially the exclusives. Did I do okay?

I don't keep up on G3 prices but I would have been willing to pay that price for those ponies.  The Cotton Candy in Sea Spray's pose isn't nearly as common as her first release and Comet Tail is a popular pony with collectors.  The Comic Con pony is definitely worth the most from that lot.  Overall I think you did fine.  :)

I agree with Cricket! You did all right :-) Next time you'll have to post pics of the pony display at this shop! It sounds neat!

It's too late for me to go back for now, but if you guys are in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, stop by Retro Distortion. The guys that run it are awesome and they always have neat stuff, even if they don't always have ponies. :) Thanks guys!

Sounds like a lovely deal! Congrats on them all. The regular G3s will be in the $3-5 range each but with the CC pony she is $20. So great!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
