If you are a pony collector you are a hoarder.

Whuh?

Ah, well, I can't disagree on that, hehe.

[Carrehz]

Eh, I can live with that. Dragons have hoards and dragons are cool, right?

[Leave a Whisper]

Uh no actually it's not true. There are differences between hoarding and collecting Alkevin.

well, I know that, I was just trying to lighten the mood a bit. I'll admit, I didn't quite get the original post, either.

I consider myself more of a herder

I really do not like the Clydesdale pose. Or the various baby boy ponies.

Also not a fan of flocking on ponies. It just washes them out, which is a shame because most of them have really nice colors underneath.

Haha this. I think it's selective hoarding? In that you're not hoarding everything in existence, just plastic things with pretty manes and tails. I do genuinely have too many ponies for the space I currently have, so storage has become creative, and that poses some issues. But while I could sell most of my other smaller collection things (and I have already parted with most, just a downsized MH and Jem really left), I can't sell my ponies.

Still hoping that one day I will have that pony room though.

I may not even be interested in gen 5 if it ever comes out. The way things have gone I dont have my hopes up.

I hear ya. Let's just hope it doesn't suck like 3.5 and 4 have.

I liked 3.5 I have most of them except for one mom pony.  Gen four started out good but then BAM main six times 100.

Agreed. I like many aspects about G3.5. How they look, the quality, I love how the ponies have different hairstyles, and different heights. It's just a shame it was still all Core 7. If they had tried remaking other G3 ponies in G3.5 molds, or just made more new ponies altogether aside from just the moms, it would have been much better I think. It's just, being Core 7 brings it down hard, by making it less fun to collect due to the smaller number of ponies.

And with G4 yeah, it started out fine, but as time went on the variety became worse and worse. I think if Hasbro really do want to keep having a core cast of ponies like they'd been doing since 2008, they need to find a better balance between core pony releases and other ponies. Other toylines seem to handle this balance perfectly fine, but Hasbro seems to really be struggling with it when it comes to MLP... I'm sure there's a potential good balance somewhere... I hope they can find it for G5 if they really are going to rehash the Mane 6 again.

Which is annoying considering they handle that balance quite well in their other toyline.
