I think it's funny how picky I am when I'm looking at online G1 ponies. But when I find one in the thrift store, I don't care. Have to have it! If it's in bad shape, I consider it a rescue. LOL
Guest, The MLPTP's Fundraiser and Prize Giveaway will be returning on June 1st! Check out this thread for all the latest news!
Our Goodwill sucks when it comes to toys. It's always broken loose items. And only a handful of that. I have never found a toy there for my kids let alone a pony. Don't have a Value Village here. But we have Savers. Savers is hit and miss on things. They usually price things for what they're going for on eBay, or price thing as if they're new, so I can never flip anything for profit. But occasionally I stumble upon a good bargain. Luckily they haven't caught on that G1 Ponies are collectible. When I do find them, they're in a grab bag for $3. I'm really psyched that I found a vintage Fisher-Price Little People house for $5 last week. It's been on my want list. I have the barn. Next will be the castle. Another hobby of mine. LOL

I haven't been to Goodwill in many months, but if I go, of course ponies are at the top of the list of things to buy. (Next clothes, of course.) I'm not picky and it's usually g2s anyway, so I get it. However, somehow I can talk myself out of brand new g4 sets at Walmart.(Admittedly, the bb set they have for $20 has been enticing me, so I might get it next time if I'm there by myself and not shopping with my dad.)
Oh wow, I wish I could find G2s in the wild like that. I've only been fortunate enough to come across some a couple times. Usually while thrifting I find G3s and G4s.
D'oh! It was like 3 am when I wrote that, I meant g3s!! I don't think I've found any g2s.
Never found a single pony in a thrift store sadly. But I do live in the middle of no where.
Actually found a G1 baby at thrift yesterday! Covered in marker, but I didn't already have her! Considering I haven't had any luck in the wild in at least a year (which is a long time considering I hit 4 thrift stores a week as part of my exercise routine) I was pretty stoked at finding her, and for a dollar, too!
