If you could time travel back to the 80's what would you get?

[Taffeta]

To think, the Mountain boys cost about £5.99 when new....

In my case, rather than go back and buy a whole ton of stuff I didn't have, I'd rather go back and make sure I didn't throw out things like my MB pony cards and kept all the bits and pieces that I lost.

My area was really poor for ponies, but I guess that if push came to shove the two things I'd want to bring back from the UK of the past are Princess Pearl and Fiery MIB and Nibbles and Dibbles MIB, just because I wanted them so much as a child...

The other MBs would be tempting, too, but I think I'd rather have what I threw away than a bunch of new stuff otherwise...

The geek in me would also want to take a notebook and pen and make copious lists/take photos of everything that was available where and when to settle a lot of age old questions about Hasbro's distribution...

There were a lot of pamphlets and things that I cut up for the pictures. So like you, I'd go back and tell my younger self to not destroy those things.

And yes, I would like to go back with a digital camera and take a picture of the MLP section i the store just to show the difference in what we had in the 80's and what the MLP section looks like now.

I think I would have purchased more So Softs. I really love them, and I would be able to enjoy them without so much flocking wear and tear. ♥

I probably would "wait" it out on the mail orders. I would grab every US pony I could find. I wish it would be easier to "jump through time periods like Final fantasy 13-2." Then I could go to parts of the globe in the 80s time period and get access to all nirvana's too. I don't think I would tell my younger self to not to get rid of all her ponies but, I wouldn't want to change history too much.

Oh gosh! I would try to get to my aunt's yard sale before she sold half of her collection! I got there in time to get whatever was left but I know there was more that gold sold before I got there! We were talking about that the other day! About how she wished she never sold them!

But as far as stores go, I would get Mimic, Bright Eyes, and Quackers for sure!

[hokuspokus]

I would save my childhood ponies if i could go back in time!
I had to re-buy most of them because i lost almost all of them. I also gave away alot of ponies when i was a kid, so if i could go back i would protect myself from trying to be nice and give away my lovely ponies.

Oh, i would do so much if i could go back! Well, not too much, since i was little and didn't have much money
But i would definitely never give or trade my old ponies again!

[Dyzarktarzk]

Mimic!  Munchy!  The Sea Ponies (White Cap...)!!!   Nirvanas included?  The Mountain Boys *drools*

And If I was ever capable of...  Get a PE, it's so expensive now ;_;

[VanillaBean]

I sometimes agonize over the thought of going back in time like this  :<  If only
I would snag 2 of each: Gypsy, Honeycomb, TE Bright Eyes, SS Twilight & Crumpet. One to open & one to keep MOC.
I don't even know if the last three were sold here  xD  If not, I'd have to construct some kind of country portal.
I'd also grab a complete set of rainbow ponies. 

[Rachel-Eyes]

Honestly, I wasn't born until '89, so there are quite a few things I would grab besides ponies. Namely Brush-A-Loves, Ice Cream dolls, C.U.T.I.E., and Jem! I'm so sad that I missed out on those... they were so cute! I'd also go back to the early '90s and just walk around the toy aisle for the sake of nostalgia. We had a local department store called Hills that was absorbed by a now-defunct business... I miss Hills. Grandma didn't live far from it, so she took me there all the time and that's where half of my toys came from.

I'd also go back to the '60s and tell my mom to take better care of her (now rare) Barbies, specifically first-edition Skipper and her Twiggy doll! (I had to throw Twiggy out a few days ago for mold. I was so sad.) Honestly, toys fascinate me so much I wouldn't just stop at the '80s and '90s. I'd go as far back as I could.

[ashes]

I'd probably get all the flutters (because their wings move) and the Dance n Prance ponies.  I just love the accessories to the DnP's.

[emery]

Hmm... let's see $200 would probably buy an average of 25 or 30 ponies depending on price. I would most likely go for these first:

year 3 sea ponies
any babies that came with stack toys
Oakly since I can't seem to find him for a decent price in the present!
Lavender Woosie
Red Roses
2nd set of Princess Ponies
Paradise Estate
petite ponies
And the rest of the petites from the very early 90's if I could sneak those in along with the Li'l Litters Nursery Families!

[Majesty]

I'd get everything I could put my hands on!!

Me too.

[CadePony]

I would probably buy up all of the Sea Ponies. Or even better, get the Paradise Estate.

[Visage]

I have thought of this many times!
I would buy all the greek ponies double,
so that I have them all both loose and MOC!

[toralei]

I would go to Greece to also visit my grandparents    While I was there I would get all the ponies in the sitting pose (minus that one exclusive to Brazil) and some unicorns, namely Gusty and Gypsy. OH and also Blueberry Baskets.
