WHOOHOO! The Thrifting gods gave me an xmas pressie!
« on: Saturday 18 December 2010, 12:26 am »
So, I have been watching this toy for MONTHS...(like 6 or more) just sitting on a shelf behind the display case at a thrift store. It started out at $59.99. No way was I going to pay that. Then, a couple of weeks ago.. she dropped to $29.99. Not bad.. but still more than I wanted to pay.

So, today I walk into the store, and look for her in her normal place on the shelf. SHE WASN'T THERE!  :o I was kind of worried for a minute. Then I decided to look in another spot near the display case, and there she was! Her price had dropped again! Now she was $8.99! Needless to say, I snapped her up!




OVER THE MOON! I tell ya! I also got a G3 MLP gumball machine, some doll hair for customs (some glow in the dark!) and a ('70's)vintage roll of superfriends contact paper.. MIP. I also FINALLY found the new Friendship is Magic MLP! All in all a GREAT day!

Thanks all! I am so happy with her!

I'm thankful to live in a big city, (Columbus, Ohio) I have about 13 stores that I make regular rounds at.You don't find MIP stuff around here a lot.. but it does happen from time to time.  ;D

So you should go to The Earth Toy Mall in Cincinatti. They have Kenner prototypes all the time and specialize in vintage toys. I have purchased many protos from there.
