Awwh i want her but alaska sucks and dosnt have all these stores

I know in Anchorage they have a Sam's and a Costco tiki if you are anywhere near there.

You know, has anyone considered donating the extra playsets to charity or giving it away to the children of friends and relatives?

If I get both sets I'm probably going to give the extra set to my niece, minus the extra Anchor's Away or Surf Star pony. Plus I have so many multiples in my collection right now, I could give her more ponies on top of that!

If I had children, this wouldn't be a problem, I'd simply give the extra playset to them to beat up. But I don't so I'm going to find someone else whose little girl would like a free pony playset.

Thatis what I am going to do GoodyGumdrop, I am going to give the playset to a friend that has two little girls, they love ponies too!
I also thought about donating another set to either a nursery or to a charity as well.

I haven't gotten the set yet, so I'm only stuck looking at 1 extra if I get 2 for both exclusives (plus I haven't gotten Strawberry Reef yet yay!). Of course, I've got to find someone to get me into Costco first, and hope that the Amazon one does make it to TRU, or that they put it on enough of a discount to neutralize shipping.
If I do, I'll give the extra one to a friend of my daughter's. I got a CCC at a thrift store that was apparently originally purchased by a collector; it was mint and untouched except the pony and brush were gone. I exchanged the building for ours that was missing a sticker, added a duplicate pony and brush we had, and the little girl was delighted. (No, I didn't represent it as new to her mom- told her what it was).

I can't justify $30 of shipping on top, don't suppose anyone would like to buy a set and sell me Anchors Away for $20?!

I went to costco today and they didn't have it. :cry:
I want that set because Anchors Away is so cute.
I really hope they get them in soon

Alright I think I'm buying that set when I am away in the US!

Grrrrrrrrrr!!! I already have that set, but I want that pony!!!

Hmm...as annoyed as I am that this pony was released with an expensive playset that I already have, I think I'm going to splurge. Why? Because I know I can sell the extra Honolu-loo for at least $15, and probably the playset by itself for $5-$8. The leftover amount of the cost doesn't seem that unreasonable to pay for a pony I want really badly, especially when you consider how much people pay for special G1 ponies.....and since I've pretty much put G1 collecting on hold for now, I don't feel too terribly bad about splurging on one G3 pony I really want.

squeal!!! Now I've gotta figure out how to get into Costco again......

I picked up this set today and Anchors Away is so pretty! I thought she had glitter on her symbol for some reson but she doesn't. I will take some pics and post them later on!

See, I just can't afford two sets...so I'll wait and cross my fingers and see if Anchors Away is released by itself!

As promised here are some pics I took of Anchors Away and Surf Star having some fun!

Aww, what cute photos! Did you actually get those flippers to stay on their feet?? The set I have is too big, and poor Honolu-loo would always lose them underwater if she ever went snorkeling...hee hee!

They actually stayed on Surf Star but the back ones on Anchor kept falling off! I think it is because her back leg goes up a little in the back or something. She would definitely loose them if she ever went snorkling in them.
