So, heres my story. I was riding in the car with my boyfriends grandma listening to local swap time calls and one comes on about a garage/moving sale. I wasnt paying super close attention until i heard my little pony so i listened to the address and wrote it down ready to get up early the next morning and see what they had. I figured most likely G3's but theres still plenty i need.

I asked where the address was cuz i dont know the streets super well and shes like ill just show you. So as we're driving up we can see that they're already open! So of course i had her stop and as im walking up i can see this HUGE old my little pony box and my heart started racing. It was paradise estates!

A little girl was playing with toys right on top of the box so i couldnt get super close at first. So i found the owner and asked if it was spoken for. She said someone called about it buts not sold until she sees the money so i said consider it sold! She had a $15 price tag on it and i didnt argue about it even though i only had $10 in my wallet i had to borrow $5 lol.

I Asked her if she had any my little ponies and she said her daughters werent ready to give them up yet so i gave her my number and told her when they're ready give me a call, so im hoping in the future ill be getting a pony call!! She also said she has the accessories for PE but they kept them with the ponies to play with.

It was pretty comical trying to it in my car which is a two door. I had to sit it in the front seat obstructing my view but i was super careful!

Pic of the box before i take everything out to see what all is there.

WOW I still remember playing with Paradise Estate!! That is a super lucky find!
 
And oh, awesome, it still has the flowers! what a fantastic find! Grats! I know I saw those front porch lights for sale somewhere not long ago. Do a search, I'm pretty sure it was someone on the TP.

Whoa, that is amazing! How fun that must have been to find and great job. It looks in great shape and with a box, amazing. What a deal!

$15 for Paradise Estate?

WITH the box? I've never seen that with the box, it's enormous! No wonder it was so expensive when it first came out.

It's just amazing.
