Not much off to be sure; just making a point of, well, pointing it out for a possible lower sale.

This whole Bronies scene creeps me out...

 

Keep calm...

CREEPY!

This whole Bronies scene creeps me out...

 

It gets weirder when my son's friends dressed as their favorite pony for halloween.  If you pressed me, I could probably name all the main ponies, but my daughter talks about them constantly.  Like Darth_Raichu said, the money is good.

 

Beach house is my pick for the best friends set this year.  You gotta moor the Cruiser somewhere.  I flipped a bunch before Christmas.  The prices I got were crazy.

Creepy

Name 'em!

I am thinking about what friends set to go EOL next...

Name 'em!

 

 

I feel I have knife to my back, but then I really need to get back to work.

 

Twilight Sparkle, Pinky Pie, Apple Jack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, um

Do you mean outside of the 2012 sets?

I like ponies.

I found a lone Stables at my local Walmart for$15 but the seals were broken so I had to pass

I used to be afraid, but not any more.  I would have asked to open it up and examine everything at customer service.  But I would have taken a bet on that one.

That's a bummer!

 

I'm wondering if it's just an item that got returned, no malice or anything intended. The Friends mini-dolls aren't worth much individually (I hesitate to even consider them "collectible"). Unless there's a valuable piece in the set that I don't know about.

You still could have made money on it.

 

As far as Stable v Vet, vet is the winner. The vet is hitting $90 already. I'm hoping for $125+ at xmas.

It's the only set with a 45 degree 2x4 slope in bright pink, only one with the 8x16 tile in dark red, only one with a hand cart trolley in dark pink, one of three with the half large barrel container in medium blue, one of three with the 1x1 clip holder brick in medium blue, one of two with the latticed window pane in medium blue, one of two with a 7x3 bars with double clips in medium blue, one of three with the 1x1x3 vertical double clip holder in yellow, one of three with the 1x1x5 brick in yellow, one of six with the 1x12x3 archway in tan, and the only set with the unique jockey outfit. Aside from those, nothing too outstanding.

That's a pricy veterinarian. Then again, that sounds about normal price for a regular checkup. Haha.

I see Heartlake Stables catching up to the Vet on Amazon, could be a good sign.

Any growth is great with me.  I am planning to sell all the first wave friends this Christmas and putting my Friends money into Dolphin Cruisers.  Except I won't sell Riding Camp and Olivia's House that still haven't retired.

 

Anyone see any growth for the first wave friends sets after this Christmas?

i see the first wave continuing to rise especially 3185 and 3186 as they are about to ride -too many damn horses- towards the sunset.

those are more established than the new sets that are all over the place.

having said that, cashing out and using the funds towards other sets that will mature better is probably a good idea

Vets over Stables.  I put higher price on Vets than my Stables and still moved the Vets no problemo.  I should have not bought the Stables

I've got about 40 stables, and 3 vets...if that means anything

My daughters love the vet. 

 

There's always a dog that has eaten something bad from the Bakery or a Horse that has a broken leg from a competition. 

The little green tools, the hospotal, scan etc. 

 

Need a stable? They build it with their bricks from general boxes. Nothing special. 

 

Also: did you notice there's a stable in the vet?

 

Hope this helps. 

The problem with the stables is the oversaturation of horses in the Friends line as a whole.

2 in the Stables.

1 in the Horse Trailer.

1 in the Vet.

3 in the Riding Camp.

2 in the Horse Show.

2 in the Sunshine Ranch.

 

There's no shortage of Horses. The Vet was also a centerpiece of the first episode of the Friends show, as well as having Olivia's Aunt Sophie as an exclusive minidoll.

Stables is doing fine to really well post EOL, so that's what really matters.

Oh no doubt, but given the choice to invest in one over another, Vet would be my take any time.

 

I've been grabbing both whenever I see them, but Vets are still and will probably stay stronger.

Looks like a new vet or animal hospital is coming next year. There is a pic of it in the leaked catalog. 

 

The vet has been a great investment. I'll clear out the rest of mine this christmas.
