A neat Goodwill find!
« on: March 12, 2016, 04:05:06 PM »
While running errands today with my family, I suggested stopping at a Goodwill since my sister was looking for inexpensive silverware and we find some nice stuff there occassionally (although, if im being honest with myself, my ulterior motive was pony hunting :P).

As I was digging around in the toy section, this little bag caught my eye.

If I see anything that looks even vaguely pony-sized, I give it a once-over. Turns out this one is actually a my little pony g4 train set! It had no price tag on it, though. I asked an employee to price it for me and came back with a sticker saying 1.99 USD! Even though there's some track pieces missing, it's one heck of a deal.

The train still works, too! Hooray! I posed some of my newest additions on it :)

I found this at a flea market, it had a third car too. The battery compartment is corroded so I need to clean it.

Thanks everyone!  :frolic:

I found this at a flea market, it had a third car too. The battery compartment is corroded so I need to clean it.

ahh, i was actually worried about that. there was a battery still in mine that leaked a bit but it was ok still. I wish you the best of luck!
Also, I thought I should share this--I thought it was broken when I first replaced the batteries and switched it on until I realized the little yellow chimney works as an on/off switch too....so I was practically ripping the thing apart because I kept hitting it by mistake  :lol: :redface:

What a cute lil find! I often see those pink trains in the thrifts around here but it's rare to see the train tracks and other cars together with it! And that was a steal of a price! Congrats!
