Hello one and all

[aria_elwen]

Hello all, I'm aria_elwen, some of you might know me as a lurker from the UK who usually lurks over at the Trading Post but I finally decided to be sociable and join you all over here at the Arena. 

As a rule I'm a collector of G1 and have been collecting them since the very late 80's/very early 90's and so my collection is mostly a UK centric collection with me attempting to finish collecting all the ponies I remember seeing in the shops right at the end of the line. There was one shop that even sold all different European import ponies and end of line stock from the US and so I have packaging in my attic from all over Europe and US packaging with really cool ponies on that were never (as a rule) sold in this country.

I do have a number of G2 and G3 ponies although I don't collect them as a rule I have ended up with a number of them due to buying lots off ebay and I never have the heart to sell them on. Once a pony has entered my house they never leave...

Anyway, thank  you for having me and I'll try not to lurk too much in corners.

Welcome aria_elwen

It's great to have you here!  I am mostly a G1 collector as well but like yourself, a number of other gens have also found their way into my collection over the years.  I remember buying Daddy Berrytown and 7 Tales Sweetheart off the shelf when I was in my 20s. They were heavily reduced as by then ponies were no longer as popular and nearing the end of their run.  Unfortunately I opened them rather than thinking to keep them MOC but they are in lovely condition and are displayed with the rest of my collection. 

I hope you enjoy the Arena and I look forward to seeing you on the forums

Welcome! I’m in Canada, so I don’t know much about uk exclusive releases, but I hear they’re pretty cool. I collect all generations of pony (can never have enough pony) and have quite a few g1 myself. Have fun over here!

Welcome to the Arena! 
How amazing that you managed to get all those end-of-line g1s off the shelf, I am so envious of you!

Welcome! I have the same pony philosophy. All are welcome in my herd!

Welcome to the arena!   I am also a G1 collector along with a few G3 ponies. I do not have any interest in the G2 ponies and the new G4 ponies. I did have some in my collection but sold them all off!

Have fun looking around and enjoy this site!
