Singapore My Little Pony Meet II Aug 08

My fellow pony collector pals and I met again yesterday for the second pony meet this month.  We had an earlier pony meet just 2 weeks ago .  One of my pony collector pals visited the toy market at China Square Central with me in the morning, and then we headed for another pony collector’s home in the northeast of Singapore, after our lunch. 

It was pouring at some parts of the way while we were driving along the Central Expressway (CTE).  Good thing the rain became a light drizzle when we reached our destination.  We spent a couple of hours at that pony collector pal’s place admiring her boxes of near complete collection of G3 ponies (including the various harder-to-find exclusive ponies), as well as her shelves of gorgeous custom G3 ponies. 

It was also my first time seeing G3 Exclusive Pony Bay Breeze in person!  I also admired my pony collector pal’s fiery red-colored San Diego Comic Convention pony from last year, which is affectionately known as “Super Pony” in the My Little Pony forums.  I’m still contemplating whether to add this pony to my collection.

In the late afternoon, we decided to visit the departmental store in one of the nearby sub-urban malls.  To our delight, there was a 20% discount for some ponies there.  Hence, my 2 pony collector pals made off with around 7 ponies between them, for their own collections and for customizing.  I didn’t get anything for there was no pony there that I needed.

We also briefly discussed meeting up again soon for a pony customizing session.  For me, I’m not into customizing ponies as I have longed passed that very ‘obsessed’ stage in toy collecting.  Now I prefer to leave the toys as they are, unless there are some very obvious ‘flaws’ on them that need my immediate attention.

Looks like we will be meeting up again soon next month because that’s when I expect our combined order of ‘Blue Art’ Collector Ponies that we ordered from Hasbro’s website 2 months ago, to arrive.  The website stated that shipping will begin in the later half of September, which is just next month!
