Blythes:  $1.99 for both @ Value Village

Yay, another twofer!  They came nude though.  The blonde is the exact same one I just found...hiking trip.  The other one is also a double, desert fun.  I found the first one over two years ago!

I also got a Polly car, but I forgot to take a picture.  It's purple and has some musical symbols on the side.

Bag of toys:  $2.99 @ Value Village

Of course I wanted it for the Blythe.  The extra polly pocket stuff was just a bonus!  I only ever want her shoes though.  Everything in the bag:

There were more shoes than I thought, so that was a nice surprise.

She came with most of her outfit.  That rarely happens!

The rest of the stuff she originally came with:

Don't really care about any of that, but some of those accessories were pretty cute.  The packaging was pretty nice too!  I would have kept those pictures.

Bag of Polly Pocket stuff:  $3.99 @ Value Village

I mainly wanted the Blythe, of course.  But I also wanted the shoes!  I was excited when I saw so many floating around....but when I opened it up, I noticed that they were mostly singles!

There's only four complete pairs.  I was pretty shocked!  There are almost 40 singles pairs of shoes, so I was expecting several sets.  I thought the white ones were a set at first, but it turns out they're a different mold.

It also came with a bunch of Polly clothes:

I could probably cut a few down to use with my Blythes.  Plus some other Polly Stuff:

There was a ton of stuff in that bag!  I didn't think there was that much when I bought it, so it's a pretty good value for the price.  I just wish it had more sets of shoes!

LPS Blythe and Polly pocket car:  $1.99 @ Value Village

Shockingly, it's the exact same Blythe I just found a few days ago!!  What are the chances? 

One time I also found the EXACT same Blythe twice on the same day, and in the same city too!  Pretty fun when that kind of stuff happens.  I don't mind having any number of doubles when it comes to Blythes!

I also have three of these cars now.  I didn't really plan on having that many, but I thought I might as well keep it.

Ceramic cherub stand:  $3.99
Polly Pocket car:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

The stand was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I had a great idea for it.  I'm going to make another catch-all bowl similar to my other one.

This one's going to be pink.  I've already seen the perfect bowl at Dollarama!  It looks like a clear decorative glass, just like my other one.

I do see these kind of ceramic cherub things frequently, but they're either really overpriced, or badly sculpted.  This one was wonderfully sculpted, so I had to get it!

I was unsure about the polly car, but I got it anyway because it was in perfect condition.  I had one that was in bad condition, so I thought it was time for an upgrade!

Landes - Pink calf hair skinny belt:  $2.09 (RSP:  $20+)
Blythe + Polly car:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

They had a 30% off sale today...seems kind of cheap for boxing day!  I think it should have been half off, but I came anyway.

I was so happy when I found that belt.  The buckle is a beautiful rose gold colour, and of course I love pale pink!  The fact that it's real calf hair made it even better...and the price made it the best!  I would have paid their asking price of $3, no question.

It's even new with tags from Army & Navy!  I didn't know they ever carried anything that good.

I haven't found a LPS blythe in a looong time, so I was really happy to see her today.  She even has a complete outfit, most of the ones I find are nude.

She's Totally Talented Blythe wearing Prettiest in Pink's dress:



Too bad she wasn't there too!  But her dress is way better than Totally Talented's outfit:



I do like her shoes though, so I'm glad she had them!

Gold snakeskin clutch:  $5.99
Bag of compacts:  $5.99
Bag of vintage wrapping paper:  $1.99

All @ Value Village

The wrapping paper was an impulse buy.  I thought the graphics were so cute on that top one!  I skimmed through it, and saw a few more I liked...the pink one, and the vintage wedding ones:

Sadly, half of them ended up smelling like stale smoke, so I might not keep them all.  I don't know how easy it is to get smoke out of paper!

The compacts were from another Value Village.  I really only wanted the Sailor Moon locket, but it came in a bag of Polly Pocket compacts.  The price was higher than I wanted to pay, but I thought it was worth it because those compacts are pretty neat.

I've always liked the idea of it, but never really got into it because I thought the figures inside were ugly.

Well, all but one of these are complete!  I was so surprised, there were some really tiny pieces in there...like a tutu and sprinkle sized decorations.  This kid really took care of her stuff!

It turns out that complete sets can go for $30+, so this was a great buy!  One of them is a knockoff I've never heard of, but even those sell for a decent price.  I don't think I'll sell them though...I do think they're quite neat.

The doll was cute and mod, but I couldn't find any markings on it.  Too bad, it's nice quality!  I would have liked to find out more about it.

Ever After High - Ashlynn Ella doll:  $2.99

Polly pocket dolls and accessories:  $1.99

Polly pocket cars:  $1.99 each

All @ Value Village

I wasn't really expecting much since I was here four days ago, but surprisingly, they had a ton of stuff I wanted!  This was what's in the polly pocket bag:

Well, there was a Sylvanian sheep too, plus another flocked dog...but I forgot to put them back in the picture after cleaning them.

This is my first Ever After High doll!  I thought I'd love them since they were supposed to be similar to Monster High dolls, but they're just not as nice.  Their faces are pretty playline, and I just don't find them that appealing.

Some of the accessories are beautiful though!  All of the shoes are great, and since they do fit Monster High dolls, I thought I'd buy her for them alone.  This one also has a pretty outfit, though not all of them do.

She's complete except for her tiara, purse, earrings and bird ring.  Too bad, I liked her ring the best!  Her hair's been let down too.  The two pack she comes in retails for $40, so this is a great deal.  She looks new!

What a great day!  I didn't expect to find so much awesome stuff, especially since it was pretty cleared out 4 days ago.

I'm happiest about the BMW.  It actually lights up!  I've always wanted a 1/6 scale car that did that.  I'd rather have one that lit up consistently, but this one just flashes.....while playing somewhat annoying electronic music.

I almost lost out on it.  Some guy picked it up before me, and he was looking pretty long!  Thankfully he put it back.  I would have been crushed if he didn't!  

I actually saw it first!  But since he was in that area, I didn't want to be rude and cut in front of him.  Oh well, at least it worked out alright.  I did run over to pick it up once he put it down though...even though he was still near it.  I couldn't miss losing out on it again!

Surprisingly, it was made by Toys r us for a cheap looking barbie clone.  Ironically, the car is way better than most Barbie cars that were made in the last while!

For some reason, I can only find it on European Toys r us sites, so I wonder if it was only available there.  It only retailed for $25 euros, which seems really cheap considering the quality.  It does light up and make sounds after all!

I'm sure the regular crappy Barbie ones are priced nearly the same.  Alright, just checked and the cheapest one is 5 euros less...a pretty negligible difference.  Plus, the above came with a doll!  I really can't believe the difference in value here.  People over there would be crazy to choose the Barbie one instead!

Everything was cheaper because I used a 30% off pass.  This is the set the Minnie mouse scooter came from:

This is actually still in stores!  I saw it and thought it was pretty cute, but I was hoping to find one secondhand instead, so that worked out too!

The dog was a similar story!  I saw some on eBay for $8-$10, and almost bought one.  But then I thought that I didn't really need it, and I should hold out in case I found one cheap secondhand.  That sure happened fast!

I can't find the exact same one I bought, but it's exactly like the one I wanted to buy, except brown:

They do have some brown ones in that store, but the fur is different.  It looks matted and really cheap...but this one's got the same colour combination as the one I actually bought.  I like the rosette type fur much better:

The one I bought is really cute, but the construction inside feels cheap.  Some of it's made out of flimsy, throwaway plastic - like the kind used in trays found in cookie boxes!

I'd still buy the pink one if I found it for cheap enough.  It's on amazon for $5.32 with free shipping, but stupidly, I can't buy it even though the seller is in Hong Kong.  Too bad he doesn't have another store that ships to Canada!

The dog actually didn't even work at first.  I was afraid of that.  There were no batteries so I couldn't test it out.  When I tried at home, nothing happened for several minutes.  

Then I don't know what happened...after I fiddled around with it some more, it finally started working!  I think I opened it's mouth repeatedly when it started working.  I was so happy.  I was thinking about how to return it just before that!

Even though this is cheaper than most electronic toys, I think it's even more entertaining!  The eyes actually light up (green!)...which is a pretty weird detail, but I like it!  It also barks and walks way faster than any of the other ones I have.  He's a pretty energetic pup!

And, this is getting really long, but the ponies!  I see G1's pretty often, but I only buy them when they're both of these things:  cheap enough, and in good enough condition.  That rarely happens!  Most are in terrible condition.  

These are kind of dirty, but I knew they would clean up ok.  Plus, I wanted a big brother pony!  I didn't even have one before this, in all of my years of collecting.  I think I only saw one secondhand before this, and I didn't want to pay $4 for it.

Since this one had 2 babies and another pony in it, I thought it was worth it.  Plus, it was only around $2 for everything!

Even funnier...I saw the EXACT same big brother pony at Talize today as well!  That one was in really crappy condition though...he had pen marks all over!  

I think there were 7 ponies for $4, but most were pretty bad, plus the babies weren't interesting.  I'm glad I passed because these ones were way better.

Barbie Vespa scooter:  $2

Polly pocket convertible:  $.25

I picked up both of these at another kids swap meet today.  This one was kind of disappointing compared to the other one...it was so small!  I was literally done in ten minutes.

There was only one arena, whereas the other one had two.  Plus, this one arena was about 1/4 of the size as the ones there!  I spent over an hour at the other one.

I'm just glad I didn't leave empty handed.  I was pretty happy to find both of the above, especially the super cheap Polly Pocket car!  That's practically giving it away.  

If it were me, I probably wouldn't bother to price anything under $1....but of course, I'm happy I managed to get it so cheap.

The scooter was the first thing I picked up, pretty much seconds after I walked in!  I thought that made for a promising start, but I was wrong.  

At least the scooter came with a few surprises.  Turns out the helmet and one of the mirrors was in the trunk!

Polly Pocket  Picnic to go car:  $1.99 @ Value Village

It was cute, and everything opens up, so I couldn't resist.  One door and the compartment at the front are broken, but they still function ok.  I'll just wait until I can find an upgrade!

Polly Pocket convertible/Marvel Super hero squad Iron man repulser racer:  $1.40 for both

Westminster inc - Chi chi chihuahua walking/barking dog toy:  $2.80

Ingledews - Snakeskin purse:  $5.60

All @ Value Village

They were all so cheap because I used a 30% off savings pass.  I just couldn't bring myself to pay full price on the purse, since it's not in perfect condition.  Still good enough to buy, but I wanted to pay less.

Plus, I did have another card that was almost full, so I decided to go ahead and use it.  The purse closes in a way none of my other ones do, so that was a factor too.

I originally came hoping to find cars for my petites.  I almost always see them, so I was hopeful I'd find some more today.  I probably wouldn't have bought these ones separately, but I couldn't say no for less than $1 each!

This is how the iron man car came packaged (taken from this ebay auction):

Sadly, there's not enough leg space for my dolls to fit in, but I think I can make some holes to fix that.  For now, I just have one super bendy doll in there.

The chihuahua was an impulse buy.  I'm a sucker for electronic animals, and this one is one of the cutest I've seen!

They have some other really adorable ones, so I'll keep my eyes open for them!

Polly Pocket car:  $1.99 @ Value Village

Yep, the same one I bought last time!  This one looks unused though, and it still has the trunk.  For that price, I couldn't resist.  It's such a fun little car!

They had a Polly Pocket limo that I passed on because it was missing the windshield, plus it was $1 more than this one.  And a strawberry shortcake car for practically the same reason...it was just too worn to warrant that price.

Barbie Vespa:  $3.99

Barbie scooter:  $1.99

Polly Pockets "designables" convertible:  $1.99 (RSP:  ~$18)

All @ Value Village

I was so happy about this!  I was about to buy that exact same scooter just a few days ago (because it was half off), but there was a glitch and the discount wasn't coming off.  I'm so glad now, these were far cheaper!

The regular price was $30 (geez, just checked and it's $32 now!).  That includes a doll, but the dolls are cheap and have ugly outfits so their value is negligible.  Even at $15, I could have gotten around 5 used ones for that price!

I'm still hoping I find more, so we'll see how long it takes.  There are a bunch of ones in other colours I don't have!

Thank goodness I decided to take a few more looks.  I found the one pictured above on the third round!  I don't know how I missed it, it was under some other stuff or just tucked way behind.  I wonder if I've ever missed any other treasures that way?  I had no idea it was there!

Today I realized how awesome polly pocket vehicles were.  Most of them had opening parts and cute designs!  There was this helicopter van I really wanted, but sadly, they're too small for my big headed dolls.

I only got this one because I thought they would fit, but the windshield touches their faces.   Good enough!  At least I can sort of use it.  The design was so cute and cheery, I couldn't resist.
