I won an MIB Penni Secrets from Ebay. I think I'm going to de-box her.

I will as soon as I get it :) I only won it last night so it'll take about 2 weeks to get here. No one else even bid so I paid US$59.94 with shipping and shipping cost a bit more than the doll - it worked out well because the AU dollar is high at the moment I only paid a couple of dollars more with the currency conversion.

I just got card #18 and are buying newish toys to replace lost parts to my action figures . The bad news is that yesterday the Moc action figure I order came in. The toy is fine but the box it came in is ruined . It was left out in the sun who knows how long. Both the trading card in the package, the package its self, and the bubble are yellowed or faded beyond repair . I am mad I paid 9 dollars for this ! >:(  The card is warped the bubble is both yellow and broken but at least the toy is ok, and all the parts of there. I will post a photos as soon as I can . This is the reason why you can not leave boxes out in the song for years. Grrrr....... sorry about the rant guys .

The other two I got are also MOC but they are fine and I will remove the toys for display and keep the boxes away from the sun.

Found G1 MLP Party Time at Value Village on Saturday.  The pink part of her hair has faded (no surprise there) completely to white, but she has hardly any regrind (just a bit along her neckline).   I was amazed to find Party Time without a severe case of it!

Edit to add:  Ack, she is super nasty filthy on the inside!   YUCK!

I have ordered yet more action figures off amazon. I am really close to finishing my collection except for one last play set I am still trying to find.

I went to my first goodwill outlet on Thursday! :) I made my boyfriend drive about 1 hr 40 mins to go with me, but it was so fun!

I ended up with:
  • A Small Lady (from Lady & the Tramp) Plush
  • A Small Bambi Plush
  • A Squirt (from Finding Nemo) plush
  • A Dipstick (from 102 Dalmatians) plush
  • A Benji plush
  • A big eyed Turtle plush from Fiesta
  • A realistic Green(or Hawksbill) Turtle Plush
  • A perfect condition Doodle Bear
  • A Hugga Bunch and corresponding Hugglet (Pretty sure its Tickles and Gigglet
  • A LPS Puppy Plush
  • A Rescue E-Pets plush
  • A cute calico kitten Douglas plush
  • A medium sized brown rabbit plush
  • A Ty Lion Beanie Buddy
  • A really good condition G1 So Soft Loft MLP! At the bottom of the bin, I almost couldn't believe it
  • 2 other G3 MLPs (i'm not sure which ones)
  • A cute horse figurine (looks barbie-ish will investigate more)
  • One of barbie's little sisters, I think. Again will investigate more
  • A 102 Dalmatians pencil keeper with a ruler and pencil sharpener inside

Can you tell I collect plush? This doesn't include the finds I had that same day!

  • An FAO Schwartz plush gray tabby cat
  • An Animal Plant plush Elephant
  • A large Aurora YooHoo Lemur
  • A realistic cougar plush
  • A Working Fur Real Panda cub

Or the plush I managed to thrift earlier in the week!

  • A Wild Republic copperhead snake plush
  • A realistic Orca plush
  • A realistic stingray plush
  • A larger husky plush
  • A build a bear black lab plush
  • An aurora duckling plush (so cute!)
  • A Ty Beanie Baby 2.0 Panda
  • 2 different webkinz horse plushies
  • A Wild Republic Rabbit Plush
  • A boxer Webkinz
  • A yellow lab Webkinz
  • A Reindeer webkinz
  • A Ty Beanie Baby Dog (frisbee)

So overall a good week thrifting! :) The best was definitely the GoodWill Outlet though because it was like a treasure hunt! I can't wait to go again.

I have been bitten by the Monster High bug and I was completely frustrated that I couldn't buy these dolls anywhere? Toys R us were out and saying they were recalled and that they weren't getting anymore. I decided to call a Walmart near by and ask, not hoping to find any. But they had exactly one of each box left and the lady was nice enough to hold them for me.

I got:
Draculaura
Lagoona Blue
Frankie Stein
Clawdeen Wolf
Cleo De Nile
Deuce Gordon
Gloom Beach: Draculaura, Jackson Jekyl, Clawdeen Wolf


Still Missing Draculaura, Goulia Yelps, Holt Hyde, Jackson Jekyl :( But One day.

Don't know whether they have made these dolls yet: Abbey Bominable, Spectra Vondergiest, Operetta



I won't be taking them out of their boxes because I have no desire to play with them and no real space to display them properly. They are absolutely gorgeous though!

Whoo hoo! I just found a Monster High doll at a goodwill today! Her legs were off, and she has a hole near the top of her fishnets but she was still in the box with all her stuff!
I already have her legs restrung and she's up on a shelf!

Not bad for $6!

@EdenEye

I'm glad you finally found some!  I'm so envious.   ;D

After reading what you heard at TRU and all of the mixed opinions online I was a little scared.  I checked to see what the people at MLP Arena thought: http://www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=253527/start=285.html .  I am near the bottom named "EmBee".

Though I am not 100% certain I am leaning toward the employee you spoke with being incorrect.  Let's hope so - if not, and they were recalled for poor quality, I hope they get even better.

Regardless, 'grats again!
