Thanks for the info on the Neopet invaderhorizongreen. I used to use Neopets all the time but have stopped. My account still exists with Millions of neopoints. I wonder if I could sell it? have you ever heard of anyone selling their neopets account?

Wow that is quite the load!  Congratulations.  ^o^

The Li'l Miss doll is cute.  I also really like the Keypers swan.  I don't know anything about that line, I should look at it on GOTD sometime.

>.>  I wish they would just throw away the obviously ugly carnival toys.  They take up so much space in my thrift stores, so looking through the plushes is discouragingly hard.  :(  I'd love to leave with a load like this!  :D

When I buy toys I wonder what people think.  =)

Ha! Em I know what you mean. Actually, even though I love going through thift stores and garage sales and flea markets --- I must admit I am extremely embarassed to do it. Especially if I see someone I know there! I'm always watching my back....lol. Everyone asks me where I buy my Diesel jeans and nice tops. LOL, I tell them that my mom buys them for me. :) Yes and when I bring a load of toys in a basket up to the cash register, I feel a bit awkward. But I always think...well I don't know these people and they don't know me. So I don't care if I look like a complete dork!

Honestly, I wish they would donate the cheapy carnival plushies to the Humane Society so the dogs can chew on them. However, the people who work there probably don't have a clue what is a cheapy and what isn't. Except for obvious well-known toys like Care Bears. The people who work there must be really clueless since about a month ago I found a plastic bag stuffed with 5 webkinz still with their tags on for $2.99!!! And 3 of those webkinz were retired! LOL. But hey, how can we expect everyone to know right? I have NO friends in my personal life that have any interest in vintage toys. So they no nothing about them either.

Blah Blah Blah....I talk too much.

Sometimes I'm embarrased to walk around the store with toys, but I live in an urban area so there are always much weirder people hanging around in thrift stores. I guess you can always pretend you're shopping for a child you know.

That MLP is one of the two I have from my childhood! The bow one! And that keypers swan is so pretty.

Score! I spent too much (about $20) but I couldn't pass it up, haha. I brought my sister along. Poor thing, I think she's my new good luck charm!

I thought the Ferris Wheel might be FP, but I haven't found it yet. The tape is "Rainbow Brite and the Big Color Mix-Up."


I only got the ponies in good shape. I left a few G3, Tara fakies, and Happy Meal ones. Well, someone colored the "P" on a few of the magnet covers... grr. I love the Lady Pony fakie as well.


I'm not attached to anything, so I will hear offers! :)
(Ok, I'm keeping the Sonic Wacky Pack dog. But OTHER than that).
