When guests come, and you can't actually see the bathroom basin for frizzy pink and chartreuse hair!

Oh it's not just me?

Most surfaces in the house have some sort of pony item on it.....barrette, brush, pony, cleaning items, to be cleaned ponies....the list goes on....It's just a space problem, really....

I've recently had quite a bit of luck with either finding ponies in second hand stores or having people offer to give/sell me their old ponies/accessories.  I'm going to need a solid month to sort through everything and figure out what I have now, never mind sorting/bagging/tagging all the accessories I already had.  I need more vacation time.

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

Definitely this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well for me its.....

Going to the toy isle every time I go to the store.

Spending money ponies when I could be saving it or using it on the house!

And taking the time to clean and curls there hair. Even thought this one is not bad at all.

Sometimes when I miss out on a particular pony I immediatly go hunting for another one and buy it even if it's not a great bargin. I think I get into the mindset of I must have a pony even if it's not the one I want the most.

Another problem is trying to find the time and inclination to spruce up the ponies I have in my to-sell box, take photos of them and then try and sell. I don't mind doing this for ponies I keep but I seem to have a problem with selling things...

- Keeping an almost identical pony because it is a slight variation to the one already in your collection (I'm looking at you, Italian collectors pose ponies!! lol).

- Running out of display space in the pony room when you still have a few plastic totes full of ponies to unpack.

my issue is all about storage.  You'd think they wouldn't take up that much room but they do.

 Oh i should mention... my mom is coming for a visit this week... first visit since i started recollecting... that is probably an edited version of what she will say!!

Having a dream about acquiring a pony and now feeling like you must possess that pony in real life.

Did that with G2 Seabreeze!

Sorting.... I wish my pony buddy still lived close to me, this was actually fun with her around, and seeing her face light up when one of my spares was something she needed. Seeing things out and everywhere has been sending me into a panic, so I close the door and avoid it. So much stuff so little sorting space and no permanent storage yet (need shelves, glass doors must as I loathe dust). I'm so very slowly through the process of deciding which of the duplicate/small army ponies I keep for my main collection, what will be flawed enough but not too flawed to model ponywear, what can frolic in playsets and look like a good display and which I should let go of to other collectors. would be so much faster if I had shelving, and everything out neatly to compare the spare boxes, but I can't do that as I need to sell of my spares to buy the shelving! not even that, recover from depleted savings from recent vet costs and then buy shelving

I'm frustrated at how I want all ponies but there are just so many of them. It's impossible to keep up with all of the ponies and merchandise being released. I'm jealous at how some people can keep up with it all.

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."

Yes, a few of my ponies do this too. Last week I got Player, and she doesn't stand by herself very well, so I set her next to a clay Minecraft pig I made so she doesn't fall over.

Just about any pony in the Quackers pose in my collection is tipsy! Thankfully I have so little storage space that they're crammed in on the shelf anyway. There's no room for them to fall over!
