Hi all
I just wanted to start a little discussion regarding something that some members may find a little problematic if they aren't aware of it to begin with.
You'll notice that there are hundreds upon hundreds of auctions on Ebay like this one, which offer a certain number of ponies, but do not provide a photo specifying what you will receive, as the lot is random:
I purchased 2 of this very auction, and this is what I received:
Personally? I love the element of surprise, and I was ready for just about anything. I'm particularly delighted by the G1 Dollymix Sundance that somehow found her way in there.
We must be aware, however, that to the untrained eye, it can be very difficult to distinguish authentic MLP products from knock-offs or fakes. And so, it is entirely possible to receive a mix in a random lot like this one. Especially when buying sight-unseen from overseas, just be prepared that you might receive a real mix of things, though experience will vary from person to person and seller to seller.
