Ye Olde Castle Boast
« on: May 04, 2015, 11:36:59 AM »
I haven't gone to pick up my items just yet, but since the auctions are over & I paid, I think it's safe to brag a bit.

My 3-year old self had a pony grail: The Dream Castle!  Never got one as a kid, but it was one of the first things I searched for when I started collecting

I have had two during my years of collecting.  The first I found at a flea market with lots of pony & non-pony accessories.  I was so extremely happy!  Then, a few years later, I had the opportunity to purchase one with it's original box on eBay!  Upgrade!

The first castle was sold to a member of the TP.  The second castle?  Well, I was short on room and ended up selling it (and the box) on eBay.  It was the best choice for me, at the time, but I do miss it!

Well!  Lo and behold, I found myself another castle!  Normally, ShopGoodwill has crazy high shipping prices.  As luck would have it, it was a listing from a local store!!!!!  I'm picking it up in person  :biggrin:  It's not perfect & it's incomplete, but I couldn't pass this nice lot by!  Look how white Majesty is! *swoon*

I did a quick search to see if they had any other ponies for sale when I found the Care-a-Lot playset!  Only missing one chair the telescope!!!!!  This has been one of those things where I made a mental note of "if I ever find this at a good price, I must buy it!"

So excited!  Here are the pics from the auctions:

I wanted Dream Castle when I was a kid too, but I also never got it.  I  bought it for myself a few years back so I know exactly how excited you are!!  :frolic:

It is such an awesome play set. Major congrats on your grail :cheer:

Amazing! The Dream Castle is also one of my long time grails. :D I hope I can pick one up at the fair this year, actually (shipping prices are usually what keep me from getting it).

They're here!  They're here!

I was able to pick everything up yesterday! 

Most of the ponies are going on eBay (I am such a picky collector, you have no idea :P)  So happy with what I got, though!  FF Cotton Candy, near mint BBE Baby Lickety Split, and a very nice Starshine (although she has a hole through one ear from an earring!).  I need to check if I have a G4 Apple Jack already...all of my G4's are boxed up, so I tend to forget what I already have ^_^

I've been busy with other things lately, but will photograph this stuff soon! 

Solsticeadam, the ponies I'm listing are in fair/good condition - they need their symbols re-glittered!  Moondancer also has pink saddle sores in multiple places.  I'll keep you posted ;)
