G1 Basic Fun Retro Ponies: A Collector's Guide: CELESTIAL PONIES and 40th Anniversary

What does everyone thing about manes going the "wrong way"? I think that's what bothers me about Gusty. She's so pretty, though! I can't wait to find her in the store.

Its annoying but easily fixable. I don't get why they do that but its not a deal breaker.

AHH! Sherbet! It's been so long since I've seen you on the board... Have a dozen hugs!
 
Hi everyone, I haven't been around in a long time and a bit late to the party here. Does anyone know if any of them have been released in Australia?

I don't think they were released in Australia. There's a large lot of g1 merchandise and a plushie cotton candy that are in Australia and not the U.S., though. I'm sure someone would trade.
 
Ah that's a shame, I remember getting the 25th anniversary releases when they came out. It was awesome to be able to walk into a store and pick up G1 ponies! I have been able to find a toy/collectables store who sell them in Australia, not in my city but they ship them. So I'm thinking about it!

I saw the plushie Cotton Candy, she retails for $50AU which I find a bit pricey if I am honest. Especially as she is for sale in Big W (like our WalMart) in the toy section when really for that price she is a collectors item not a childs toy.

Well it is an exciting time to be a MLP collector for sure :)
 
What about Amazon Australia? Maybe it's just my Target, but I haven't been able to find any of the Anniversary releases online or in-store. I ended up ordering one from Amazon and the rest of them are there too. Not as good as in-store for sure, but I was desperate :D
 
Yeah Amazon AU varies a lot mostly the markup on them is huge... kinda would prefer to buy them from that small business toy shop or focus on my original G1 collection.
 
Oof, I understand. It hurt a little ordering it off there too :(
 
Shopper's guilt is a feeling I know so well ^-^;
Second rainbows? I'll need to go back and check those out.
Hey, Upside Down Applejack is what I ordered too!!!! :lolpony: I love her coloration and those beautiful eyes
Sounds like you got a great haul, and it will be well worth it when they arrive<3
 
Well I may have my terminology wrong, I mean the second release rainbow ponies - the set with Tickle, Trickles, Flutterbye etc. It is a little exciting! I agree about Applejack, she is really unique colour wise... the original was always one of my favorites. I'm excited now I guess my collectors bug is coming back :D
 
No, I think you had it clear enough, I was just having a super derpy moment XD
Their hair is magnificent :shock: I don't know how I missed that :blink:I'm excited for you!! Your house i going to be so colorful:lolpony:
I never had Applejack, so there will be some cognitive dissonance when I'm looking at the one I'll get used to and then the polarized color scheme. lol did you stop collecting for a while? I know my 'bugs' come in cycles; one month it's comics, the next it's dvds, the next it's anime figures, so on and so forth.
 
Yeah I stopped for a few years now. Last time we moved I put my collection in a stripy zip up bag and quite a few got marked by the bag... I couldn't believe I could be that careless and I think it put me off for a while. That and soaring ebay prices.

My house is already colourful :lolpony: rainbows everything for me. But I am excited about new ponies and seeing what any future releases might be...
 
Oh no! :eek: That's terrible, I'm so sorry!!! Hopefully you feel a little less closed off to the prospect now?
I know that pain too. I think that's why my collecting has gotten so bad in the past years ^-^; I'm trying to make up for what's missing lol
Rainbows are very addicting and I'm also excited to see re-releases and more exclusives like SDCC Majesty and Stranger Things Applejack
 
It is terrible... however the other day when I was taking a look at my collection I couldn't find a single pony with the marks on it. I had thought some of my most prized ones and childhood ones were among the affected but I couldn't find a single one. A pony miracle?

Well my order of the Basic Fun ponies arrived. I love AJ and wasn't sure if I should unbox her or no... I was talking to my brother about it so he went on ebay and got me a second for my birthday that's coming up so I don't have to decide :smile: He's a good brother!
 
"A pony miracle," :eek:
Congrats! Did you upload a picture yet? Now that is a great brother:winkpony:
