Huge Goodwill Score!

[brighteyes]

I stopped at Goodwill on the way home from work and was amazed to find a My Little Pony case.  It was listed as only 6.99 so I thought what the heck, I’ll grab it.  But, when I lifted it up I could tell there were ponies inside!  Or, at least I hoped they were ponies and not something sadly unrelated like old socks or Carebears (I find SO many Carebears when looking for ponies, it’s ridiculous!).  So, I carefully peeked inside and sure enough, I saw a tell-tale wisp of pink hair!  There wasn’t really a place to open it in the store so I didn’t look any farther than that.  Also, I wanted to be surprised.  I scouted around and found a Dream Castle in very good condition and a Show Stable in good condition.  Neither had much in the way of accessories.  I could see a bed in the stable, but didn’t check it out too much.  The stable and castle were each listed for 3.99- a definite steal!

I’m still kicking myself for not getting a cart and looking through the other toys more carefully.  There could have been more ponies or accessories and I didn’t check the puzzles at all.  I may run back up there in a bit just to double check.  I did wander through the Nick-Nack isle and I didn’t see any porcelains.

After I got them to the car, I opened the Collector’s Case and was astonished to find a mass of nearly mint condition ponies, ribbons, wear and two stickers!  I’ve never seen glitter symbols as lovely as these before!  I got a total of fourteen ponies.  The only condition issue I found was on Surprise who had what looked to be lip gloss smeared all over her cheeks, eyes and lips.  I’m guessing whoever owned the ponies had some Sweet Secrets toys as well and played.  Her hair also looks like it’s got something in it- conditioner that wasn’t washed out or something.

The ponies I got were:

Mama Surprise
Baby Surprise
September Birthflower Pony
Medley
Firefly
Baby Firefly
Paradise (with PERFECT flocking!)
Lemon Drop
Cherries Jubilee
Baby Lickety Split (her sticker was in the case too!)
Sunlight (with puffy sticker)
Pinwheel
Flat Foot Cotton Candy
Baby Cotton Candy

Also bonus accessories Dream Castle Throne, Bed for Show Stable with blanket, show stable bridle, pony wear, diaper, blanket, stickers and Birthflower/Collector Pony Brochure.  I’m so excited to have found these and I wish whoever had them would know that they’ve found a good home.

Pinwheel may have glitter loss.  It's hard to tell if the darker spots are glitter rust or areas where the original thickness of glitter is still present.

All for under 18$!  I seriously NEVER have good luck at Goodwill before this.  I ALWAYS check and the best I've found in 20 years of looking is: A Birthday Pony (in 2000), a Skippity Doo with good flocking (in the late 90's), occasional random G3s and playsets and a G1 firefly stuffie in poor condition.  I guess it pays to keep looking though!

Oh wow.  That is so exciting!!  I bet you were stoked when you saw the pony hair inside the carry case.  What a lovely bunch of G1 ponies and play sets.  I would definitely do another trip back to the store to cheek for other goodies.  Major congratulations
