So trying to sort some pony things today got me thinking - what are the little (or large) problems that MLP brings into your life? Things that without collecting we would never have to worry about?

For me right now: having to stay awake until 2am despite a 7am start tomorrow in order to bid on an auction #ponycollectorproblems

Having to get creative when storing things you don't use very often because your collection takes up the whole basement!

Never being able to sleep in on a Sunday because you MUST go pony hunting.

Have to spend money for every pony you find in thrift shop, cause you just can't resist the temptation.

Funny, I had this conversation with my husband this morning.

Me : ''I just have so many ponies.. they arn't fitting into the space anymore, there is too many. I'm going to have to work on getting something to fix this storage problem''.

Husbands reply : "so, you don't think you have a pony problem? you think it's a storage problem?"

This, which then leads to having to take all the time to photograph and describe the unwanted ones to sell.

Also, needing ever-increasing storage space and cleaning around windows full of sunfading ponies.

Taking a bath usually involves throwing a bunch of ponies in with me that need cleaning. Two birds, one stone.

LOL!  This!

My biggest pony problem is forgetting who I already have... Like, I'm usually pretty spot-on with the want list that I have in my head, but I seem to forget which version of the Collector Pose ponies I have.  I also *always* think that I have SS North Star (and have thought that for about the past eight years, so I *always* pass her up... and I do NOT, in fact, have her!), I *know* I have BnG Bouquet, but when I go to catalogue my collection, I can never find her (yet I always find her when I'm NOT trying to make a comprehensive list of things), and for some reason I keep getting SS Surprise and SS Lofty confused for each other (I have Lofty, but not Surprise... I think, lol!).  Who'd have thought pony collecting could be so stressful

Not having the money to buy every single pony and running out of space on your selves to put them!! 

Off-Topic Edit: woohoo post #1,000!

[unluckyrabbit]

I saved up enough money to go to Nyc Comic con ended up buying ponies with the money.oh well!

Having to visit the toy aisle in every store you go to as every store carries something different (and especially when none of the stores in your town even carry the basic lines).

Taking a bath usually involves throwing a bunch of ponies in with me that need cleaning. Two birds, one stone.

So glad I'm not the only one who does this

[gabumon]

somehow I've developed this unbreakable habit of stopping by every store at least once a week , to look for ponies .

I. Can't. Stop.

dealign withte people in your life being negative  adn telling you that your a hoarder.

running out of room for said ponys lol

Constnatly  going to check for ponys and my dad  going what are we  looking for  and me just telling him "stuff" becuae i dont want to hear aobut how i dont need any more "toyS"

[Rachel-Eyes]

I have several of these jokes on my blog, under the tag #toy collector problems.

The one coming to mind is "that awkward moment when you have a pony that keeps falling over and you have to sandwich it between two other ponies just to get it to stand."

[Miniature Sheep]

Working up the motivation to wash/de-frizz pony hair. I even have all the stuff I need, just can't be bothered doing it!
