Hello fellow pony collectors.
I have been on the hunt to finish the last of my pony collection, mostly i was missing some buildings and looking to start my foreign ponys. Plus i have been looking to expand my g2 collection and get some mib g1 ponies. I am also a huge pony merchandise collector, i love pony stuff.
As some of you may know baby applejack has decided to sell her huge collection, she was nice enough to let me look through her collection pictures and pick out all the stuff i needed. We worked together for some time and she endured countless emails from me. LOL thank you baby applejack.
I live in Quebec and she lives in Ontario. So we decided to meet half ways about in Kingston Ontario. I asked my step dad to drive me down there in his pick up truck (thankfully it is a pick up) Starting out on the trip the weather was great, it was not even snowing and it wasn't that cold. After about 3 hours of driving i arrived first but there was no sign of baby applejack. Turns out she was stuck is horrible traffic and was going to be late. So me and my step dad set off to check things out around Kingston. We stopped in at a place called bulk barn, then mc Donalds, then we found a value village (didn't find any pony's). After waiting another 2 hours baby applejack shows up, so im really happy now. Even after the drive and the wait and now it is starting to get really cold and snowing. We do the exchange and the stuff doesn't all fit into the truck but thankfully we can fill the back up to. As soon as we are done we hit the road to try and beat this storm that is starting to hit Quebec. Well, another 5 hours of driving we get to Montreal (about 30 min by car to my place in good weather) but we didn't have good weather, it is the biggest storm ever, huge snow flakes, slippery roads, accidents everywhere and the bridges are packed. The pony boxes are tied in the back getting snowed on and im freaking out thinking things are going to get damaged.
Plus, we now both have to pee really bad LOL So we turn off before the bridge and run into a restaurant. (i know, i know, do you need to know this? well it just goes to show what i will do for pony's and better yet, what my poor step dad will do to help me out)
We left the house at 6am and we got home around 5 pm. Finally i got all the boxes into my place and put them in the pony room. i didn't even get a chance to look at it all for a long time. the holidays showed up and i had no time for anything. This purchase is my future christmas, birthday and anniversary presents for the rest of my life.
yep, i know, i am officially insane. OK, now that i bored you to tears, on to the pictures of everything.
