Christmas Pictures!

So how many of you still have Christmas decorations up? I do! The halls are still decked at my house. But soon Valentines day will be here, so I aim to take them down this week. For now I want to keep my promise to post pictures of my kids Ponyville Christmas! You may remember this post where I bragged that I found all the sets locally for about $70, a great deal!

Here's a picture of me, my two sisters and my brother in law having a ball setting it all up on Christmas eve while our kids slept in the basement. I am the one in the red.

Even my dad got into the action. Everyone had a blast!

Here is what they woke up to Christmas morning! They absolutely loved the Ponyville sets.

Just for fun I am going to post some other fun toy Christmas pictures from my past. Good times!

You can see my My Little Pony jammies in this one!

 

HAPPY *LATE* HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! HOPE YOUR 2011 BRINGS SOME AWESOME TOY FINDS!

Fairy Winkles Collection

I decided to take a picture of my complete Fairy Winkles collection. I am missing a few variants, but these are basically all the sets. I didn't take photos of the sets open. That task will be for another day.

Treat Heart Pig Plush ends for almost $7K!

 

Wow!!

I can't believe how high this pig went. I mean, I really can't. I have to admit I did place a bid. The auction was a bit obscure and I thought I might have a chance. My bid was $750, far less than any of the pigs have gone for in the past. When I was outbid I gave up trying but I still can't fathom $7K. Holy moley! I do own the poseable, another rare specimen, but it looks like I will never get my mits on this rare guy. Ten years ago you could find prototypes for fairly cheap (I bought my rare CB cousin protos for only $100 each) but nowadays with the common use of credit cards, everyone could afford a prototype if they really felt like paying it off for five years. That's okay though! There are so many toys out there to love and collect. Plus I must admit that owning some rare things can be stressful. You feel like you must handle them with kid gloves and keep them locked away most of the time. When they are on display they make you nervous too. So, fare-thee-well piggy, you are too expensive for my blood!
