Flea market haul #3

Somehow my health isn't the best, especially the last week. I still didn't want the flea market today. Now I very tired but found a few nice random things!



This is all I got...everything together was 4,50€. So not too bad I think. My Mom who went with me also got a few nice books for my dad.

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I have my Harry Potter book in really random editions. Some in German some in English. This one I only have in German, so now I finally have the original version. I also really like this edition with the pictures. At first I did not want to buy it because it isn't in the best condition and was a bit overprized for a book on the flea market. Well...my mom made me get it anyway and we got it a bit cheaper because she was buying some other books, too.

- The picture and the rabbit where from the same person, a nice old lady who sold everything for 1 €. The picture is just a print, not even a good one, but I dunno...I just liked it. And the postman rabbit is so damn kitschy...but you know...it's easter and stuff. ^^;

- Keypers snail!!! The best find today. It was from one of those seller who have boxes and boxes of random stuff that most people would just throw away. I'm so glad my mom saw it in one of the boxes. It was only 50cent. Yay~ I actually already have the same from my childhood, but has discoloring and there was something broken and my dad fixed it very crudely ^^;
This one from the flea market is sadly discolored, too. The hair is tangled and the body dirty but it can be fixed. For that prize it's absolutely okay

- The figurine...actually a pity buy ^^; I doubt it's worth anything, but I like its look and for 50cent *shrugs*

Flea market haul #2

Another flea market haul post and I wasn't even at a flea market. My parents were and my mom brought me all this Polly Pocket stuff... she said it was too cheap to pass.



4 of those sets are complete, the others are missing pieces. Three sets are from 1989... one of them is the same I owned as a child. Score!!!

I swear...I never intended to collect Polly Pocket stuff. I don't now why it pops up suddenly everywhere. A month ago I didn't own a single PP item and now this.

Wiiiiiiiii~

I took part in a little contest a gaming website run....and well... I won first prize!!! A black Wii and a copy of "The last Story" which was released just like a week ago over here.





I've never won anything and now this! So awesome! I already played a bit and I'm now one hour in and it's great so far. I'm just really not used to next-gen games like at all. I feel so old for getting confused at a game ^^;

Flea market haul #1

I've been to the flea market and bought too many useless things again ^^;



A board game based on the Arcade and Atari hit Berzerk! I've never imagined Evil Otto to look like this :p (I think it's from 1983)

Turtles Comic Book

3 incomplete Polly Pocket playsets and a few random Polly Pocket parts

My little Pony - Lemon Drop. I already have this one, but you can't have enough Ponies :p

Polly Pocket

I never had a big Polly Pocket collection as child. I owned only three playsets, but I really enjoyed them. When I got older we sold them off... now with my nostalgia trip going on I kinda wish I still had them.

Last week on the flea market I saw a lady selling some Polly Pocket stuff and I could help browsing through the playsets. After some chatting with the lady I ended up buying two of them. They were very cheap, but sadly also missing some parts because she didn't know which parts belonged to which anymore.

Here is the first playset I bought from her. It's from 1995 and called 'Sparkle Snowland'. I love the book design.





Sadly there are 4 pieces missing: Another Polly fgure (blonde), a gray husky, an icebear and a pink sledge.

And here is the second set I picked up. It's from 1997 and goes by the name 'Rose Hideaway'. Really cute, but impractical to store away.







There are two missing pieces: a yellow flower and a yellow bumble bee. Also the figure must come from another set (I still haven't found out which), originally there was a blonde one included.

For Polly Pocket I can really recommend the homepage onlypollypocket. They have everything every released there! Great to check if you have parts and don't know what they belong to.

Boxed G1 My little Pony - Candy Cane Ponies - Sugar Apple

Okay, let's start with something special! An old store closed in the town I live and they were selling off everything they still had stored away. And really...they had stuff from the friggin' 80s! Anyways I was browsing through the shelves when suddenly... I saw a boxed My Little Pony!!! I LOVED MLP when I was a child and I still have all the ones I had as a child. I was never lucky to find them at flea markets, so this one at the store was like finding the holy grail :D It was also super cheap, even cheaper than the price you can see on the box.



Well, that's the box. The colors are very, very faded and the clear plastic is broken. As you can see it's a German box as I'm located in Germany :p Often toy boxes are multilingual, but here everything is in German. This line is called "Zuckersüss-Pony" (Sugarsweet-Pony) or Candy Cane Ponies in English. They were released in 1989 (year 7) and they are scented, so they smell like sweets. And this one after over 20 years still smells like candy ^^






Here you can see the sides of the box showing the Ponies of the line and their German names. They were only four Ponies released in Europe, in the US there were six of them (the four plus 'Lemon Treats' and 'Mint Dreams').



Here is the back of the box showing Ponies from other lines and a little (pointless) story about 'Sugar Apple' accidently making....well... sugar apples. Her German name is 'Äpfelchen' which is just the cute way of saying apple.



A last shot of her in the box. She comes with a yellow comb, apink ribbon and a pink ice cream hairclip.

Now...wasn't this post the nerdiest ever ^^;; ?

The big move!

For quite some time now I wanted a second blog for more mindless things like movies, videogames, figures, toys, comics, my collections and so on. I finally decided!

Mindless stuff and my bragging about how my pony collection is bigger than yours and how your taste in movies suck will be found here. The "Winchester" is from one of my all time favourite movies "Shaun of the Dead". It's the beloved bar the main characters want to take refuge from the masses of zombies. So this blog will be my refuge, a place were I can do whatever I want :p

All my crafts and swap related stuff can be found here : http://zombielili.blogspot.com/
When I saw that "zombielili" (my nick at craftster ) wasn't taken yet I had to create the blog right away.
I already imported all the old posts. The design is still very basic...I hope I can change it soon to something more original ^^

I hope it works out the way I planned it and that I don't change my mind too soon ^^;
