I wonder ......... do you think we will have to resort to dumpster diving for those good old ponies? (or other toys) I'm not sure and i know it sounds gross but do you think or know of anyone actually doing this?
almost tempted but i think it is against the law, to dig thru their trash!! okay would you go to this extrem if you knew you would find a pony or 2?
Before doing that I'd call the 2nd-hand shops in your area. Tell them you're a vintage toy collector and would like to look through any batches of toys they're planning on throwing away because of the lead law.
If they knew you were an older collector and not some little kid who will be at risk, I think it would be legal for them to give you access to the toys. I'm sure the workers at these stores hate seeing things go to waste too.
