Yesterday was the motherload of finds for me. I'm still in utter disbelief at my luck.
Sooooooooooooo...started off the day visiting 2 thrift stores on my way to Irving to have lunch with my sister. First stop was HUGE SUCCESS!!! I FINALLY found a styling pony other than RAINBOW DASH!! YAY!! I found this pretty girl BURRIED in the pit of plushies. I also found the Pinkie Pie in there as well! ONE DOLLAR EACH!!! Now I just need to find a loose Cheerilee and I'll have all 4 out of box!
BTW...the lady that checked me out asked me about the "little ponies" that I was purchasing and told me that somebody was in there earlier asking about a "RAPUNZEL PONY". I told her "SHA RIGHT!!! GOOD LUCK THERE!" She also asked me to describe her. Oh, and she let me know that they get ponies in ALl the time, so YAY!! This is the place I score the most ponies at anyways, so I knew that. <hehe>
Okay....breathe breathe...this may be the best find (G3 wise) for me YET!! Anyways, after spending a lovely afternoon with my sister at her work, I punched in on my new GPS and there was a Goodwill right around the corner from her work!! Huuurrahh!! Thinking nothing of it, I drove over and strolled right on in. I get to the toy section and was totally bummed. I think to myself that these Goodwills in the Dallas area truly SUCK!!! Then I check out the floor and notice a VERY familiar looking box. And boy is it HUGE!!
CHECK
IT
OUT!!!!
EEP!!! And it's the TRU Exclusive!! And it's FILLED with pony goodness!! *dies* I only notice a few items in there, but the thing is pretty heavy and it is rattling pretty good! I pick the thing up and walk around the store with it. And silly me set off the music maker and so I'm walking around with the hula music going off. I just smile and giggle. After a while of it going off a few times, I shook the silly box to make it stop.
Hmmmm....THREE EXTRA PONIES!! Do you suppose they are inside? Do you think this set is complete?
When I first noticed the box, I was thinking, "Hmmmm...I bet it's like $15 or something." After searching a while on the big box, I found the price tag!!! Can ya see it??
$3.99 OMG!!!
Time to get home and peep inside. What all did I get??!!!
Ooooooooooo...a Nanco plushie! Some fakies and a sewing machine to the Frilly Frocks playset.
Slowly I dump out more items to see what all I got.
PLAYSET PIECES!!!
And lookie who I found. They ALL are here!! *faints* All pretty and minty too.
Just about ALL the pieces are here too!!! Missing a butterfly clip (which I think I may have an extra), the beach bucket and a piece to the shop. The tree is broken, but it still stays together nicely. The butterfly still swings and plays the music! WOW!!
So I THINK I have everything.
Some more extras. Got the chest for Hidden Treasure. There's Round 'n Round. Got some crowns and brochures. The scuba gear and the shovel. OH...and Frilly's glasses which I didn't have! SCORE! And a LPS brochure.
So here's EVERYTHING that I got for $3.99 in this BIG box!!
And here's all the non-MLP items.
Now will somebody pinch me please?? I only DREAM of finding a score like this!!
