Ok, I have 3 hauls of fakies to show off. My mother in law picked some of them up for me when she went out of state to a graduation. Some of them are from the flea market last weekend. And some are from the thrift store today. The funny meeting thing happened today. My husband and I make a beeline to the toys as soon as we get to the thrift store like we always do. Well some guy sees us and starts talking to us as we passed him on our way to the toys. I look at this guy and nod and smile. I know I should know him but I can't figure out where from until he calls over to his wife in the toys and says, "This is the pony girl! She collects them!" Then it dawns on me. It the thrift store dude who finds ponies for me. It was funny. He's been having trouble finding very many ponies lately and so have we and I think it's probably because we are all trying to find them at the same place! There's a lady at the flea market who hunts for ponies for me too. She probably is buying them up at the thrift store too. Of course, what this translates to in my head is, on the days I can't go collect the ponies from the thrift store, my fleamarket friends do it for me! It's like getting extra pony runs in there! And truth be told, I pay less for them at the flea market alot of times because I pay about $1 a pony. At the thrift store I pay $2 for a bag of useless stuff that has 1 pony in it. I've been thinking I must have been missing out on all those thrift store ponies because I haven't been finding them so well. I assumed someone was buying them all before me. As it was, I wasn't missing out, I was just getting them at the flea market instead. *dances* Anyway, here are my new ponies....
CPK fakies
smaller CPK fakies
these types...not sure what to call them.... and look I have the pink firework pair I've been drooling over since I first saw them when I first got here.
Tara Toys and a Lanard
random group
dunno what these are but the top one is missing a wing
I don't consider these fakies but I know some of you do. Could be because I collect Strawberry Shortcake stuff too and even collect Bratz on a lesser (mostly secondhand unless packaged with a Guinea Pig or Hamster) degree.
And because I got them too and let's face it, most of us still love MLP too. After all they tend to be the pony gateway drug. Without them, there couldn't be fakies.
