I've been a lifelong collector, from my first Merriweather and TAF Buttons to getting all of the G3 ponies when they first came out. The G1s still have my heart though, and I love seeing the beautiful things people do with customs (god knows I have enough bait-quality ponies--my ponies were much loved, and very, very much played with ~.~). I'm looking forward to being able to touch base with others who still love them.
