Holy moly major luck at the thrift store! :D

Oh my goodness, you guys should have seen me. I think I squealed a little.

I had some time to kill this morning before I had to go pick up my grandfather and drive him to my parents' house for a day of family visiting, so I decided to make the rounds of thrift stores in town.  First one had nothing but oh my, the second...

After rummaging through many piles of toys, not really expecting to find anything, I got down on my knees to half-heartedly poke through the bottom shelf. Then I spotted the letters "MLP" and went   
Turned out to be a bag crammed FULL of ponywear, brushes, and random accessories.  Score! I would have been perfectly happy with just that, but a few inches away i found not one, but TWO bags of G1 ponies. The words "Holy (expletive)" ACTUALLY left my mouth. Out loud. 

So I gathered up my prizes and ran to pay, went out to the car, and called my mom, because I was THAT thrilled. And as I was turning the bags over and over, I realized that my bundles included Majesty and Spike. And I realized I hadn't checked the back of the store where the larger toys sometimes wind up.

Hoping against hope to find a Dream Castle, I went back in.  I did NOT find a Dream Castle........ but I DID find a Lullaby Nursery!!!!  Sadly, the sticker on the front is pretty messed up but it is in pretty good shape otherwise.  AND it had a bag of accessories tied to it that included a Megan doll!!

I need to go trhough the accessory bags carefully and see what all I have. I'm pretty certain SOME of it is Dream Castle stuff, but a lot of it is Nursery stuff, so I'm not sure yet how complete the Nursery is.

So in short, I got all this...

For just under $20!! Money well spent, I'd say.  ALL of the ponies need a spa day, a couple of them are downright filthy but I don't see anything majorly wrong with any of them. AND OMG THERE'S A CREAMSICLE IN THE BUNCH.

My hands were shaking, I was so thrilled! I *NEVER* thought I'd be able to have a brag like this.  So it just goes to show... keep hunting.. you NEVER know when you will have a day like this!  I'll probably never find another pony in the wild again, I think I used up a whole lifetime of pony hunting luck today!
