I read the guide and was very sad that there were no real MLP bags, just a couple of fakies at the EKKA (Brisbane show). I volunteered there today on the Strawberry Ice Cream Stand, and after my shift had a wander around to pick a show bag each for my kids.
There were fakie plushies - massive ones for $30 and small ones for $7.50. I kept looking...
I looked at both the fakie bags, one had a cute plushie, the other a fake newborn cutie that was sooo close the real thing apart from the colours (dark red with blue nappy with rarity symbol). However I baulked at the $17.50 and $20 prices. So I kept wandering....
I squealed out loud when I came across genuine My Little Pony showbags! A plushie, a pencil case, a stationary set, stickers and a purple handbag inside a gorgeous MLP plastic bag - and all for $10!!!!
And there was also a shop selling genuine plushies, the smaller ones for $5 and the larger ones for $10 - and yes they were pre-core 7!!! Sparkleworks, Sunny Daze, Sweetberry, Minty etc.
I so wish I had got more, but I didn't want to dither as I was there with someone else and I was already walking the whole showbag pavillion over and over and we were both tired from our shifts.
But I think I will go back next week and volunteer again, and get some more. For me I was sooo conservative, and I didn't go mad on other crappy bags so I think I can justify a few more! And they are so cheap, I really must!
If anyone wants to see a photo them pm me your email as I can't post photos on here And if anyone wants me to pick up a plushie or a showbag then pm me for my bank or paypal details.
I just love unexpected pony finds
