I barely ever left my home country, where almost nobody knows My Little Pony (before G4)
I think I will be spending a week or two for business. It is a pity that I never go there when Ponycon is active.

Do you recommend any local toy store, or Thrift Shop? I love loose G3 Ponies, the most.
 
If you're in the Stratford-Upon-Avon area, there's a little toy shop there called Vintage Toys and Bricks. She usually has some pony stuff, but it tends to be mostly G1 from what I remember. Her prices can be a little high, but not bad.

For thrift shops I haven't had much luck when I've been over, but your best bet is probably to look up charity shops on Google maps and find an area with a bunch next to each other, or along the same street. If you see any car boot sales advertised those can also be worth checking out, I've found a few g3s at those before.

I don't live over there so this probably wasn't the greatest advice, but it's what I usually do when I go over so I hope it's somewhat useful!

Thank you, I am told on MLP arena that charity shops in London don't have much G3, but it look like those are my best bet.

Do you know any Car boot sale place?
 
Car boot sales tend to start in spring, when would you be visiting?
 
Did some googling and they seem to have quite a few! I don't know London very well, so aren't sure what to recommend. There also seems to be some vintage toy shops, and there's always charity shops too.

I bet you will find something good near you :)

Thank you, but do British people have an app to track car boot sale, or is it a street that everyone know that a sale will occur? Do I only start looking once I am there, or should I prepare before?

I have a facebook page that I use for my area in Scotland. I think there are websites too, but not everyone is good at getting the word out about their sales :/
