This pony meet will be more old school, for G1 and earlier gens I hope I hope! We just need to pull our resources together!

I go to Nightmare Nights,  I think in Arlington! Its close to Anime POP and the Loving Hut vegan chinese buffet! I didn't go this year because Enterplay's wasn't there, I like free promo cards xD plus my husband wanted to take me to Florida! I love all the customs people sell there, its too bad all those people will probably not ever get to sell their stuff at the pony fair.... I feel like it will never come this far south.

It would seriously be nice to meet some fellow Texas collectors on mlparena for a change!!!! We can laugh about how everyone thinks its "tooo hot to live here" to want to visit! xD We can also laugh at how weird our weather is LOL as well as go to awesome stores nearby! I fell like Texas, especially DFW, is soooooo overlooked and forgotten about. Its so FUN here! We have so many awesome restraunts and grocery stores from so many cultures its epic! Especially those Asian markets that sell a ton of awesome Japanese candy most people pay $10+ to import! xD Aaaaah and we have so many malls we could choose from to meet up at! I could show you guys my favorite thrift stores, I  have one close that is a G3 goldmine every time!

I can easily see DWF, San Antonio, Austin to be awesome locations. Tyler and Houston might be too humid, but any place just to have one and put TEXAS on the pony map would be amazing!

^ tell ya what Twilight Pink! If we ever meet up I will give you a baggie of the ones I have! I only want to keep a couple, and there is like 20+ hanging out on my water heater because they are magnetic LOL! If you are ever in McKinney, over by Allen and Fairview, on the super Eastern part of McKinney across I75 they have this AWESOME thrift store that always seems to have G3s! I even found the Castle playset with the little dance stage fold out there for $12!! I didn't buy it because the battery cartridge was blue and fuzzy and heck xD I shouldn't have passed on it because I found out it was an International exclusive!!!!!! That SAME thrift store had a big brother, original Holt MH doll (the blue boy who is rare), disney animator dolls, neopets plush, the collector porcelin madame alexander dolls, and 70s Ariel dolls. That thrift store is my favorite part about my move to Texas!

....and people have the nerve to tell me there is qoute, "nothing good in Texas". Like dude, so many international toys end up here! There are a zillion people who move to DFW from other countries! Omg especially in McKinney, Allen, and Plano!

Does this thrift store have any G1s??

[shadowspell7]

That thrift store sounds Amazing!  I need to make a little trip there because the only toys I ever find at the thrift stores in my area are Beanie Babies (though I like Beanie Babies so that's okay lol). And I agree with you Princess Lala, the weather here can get a bit crazy but it's still nice 

[Sweet_Stuff]

Hmm.. Where's a good place to have a meet?

Hmm, I have family who live in McKinney and I'm going to be in that area soon.  Can you pm me the name of the thrift store?

I rarely find ponies at thrift stores though I have a local flea market were they occasionally turn up.  Never run across anything international though!

[Sweet_Stuff]

I have a few leads on host location!

Anyone want to help me with guidance / info / cost / ideas / etc?

If you're seriously interested in attending a TX pony meet or would like to help, please PM me!
I have never done anything like this before so your help is appreciated!

[Princess Lala]

The thrift store is Plaza Thrift, and there are certain day of the week where the  good stuff pans out! They had Quarterback before, that's the only G1 I have ever noticed!

[Bekuno]

I probably wouldn't be able to attend any pony Texas meets due to me being a baby and hating driving but I hope you guys can plan a fun one 

I've had pony luck in my area on rare occasions. One place still has two G1 playsets (I bought all the ponies they had) and I'd really like to get them but I just have no room  I mainly find G1 and a few G3, even found a My Pretty Pony in my town!
