I love them! :) I was over the moon when they came out. I didn't care that they looked different from G1; they were My Little Pony and that was good enough for me. I never had gotten over the ache of G1 ending, so G2 filled the hole nicely. Wish it had lasted longer....

I bought nearly every G2 that was available here, sadly we didn't get nearly the variety that Europe did.  I'm not sure why they didn't go over well - wrong place, wrong time?  A lack of shelf-appeal?  Price points?  Some of the playsets in particular were overpriced for what you got.   I'm looking at you 'Friendship Gardens', aka barely disguised reissue of LPS Zoo. 
I feel the reason flop in USA is due mold designs and they didn't appeal to kids... Alot USA kids grow up so fast want technology toys to want a teen... I recall books that I read in middle school toward high school that now gear younger audition...

I do! They're the last generation I'm trying to complete now. I've gotten about 100 in the last few months for my collection and still need 30 or so before I'm done. They are so hard to come by since they didn't sell all of them here in the states and so trying to track down any for a good price without the shipping cost being a killer is proving difficult for me. Not to mention the many variation of some in different body poses that make getting them all the more challenging.

That playset was the WORST.  Hardly came with any accessories, DIDN'T COME WITH A PONY, and, yeah, lazily disguised LPS item.

I feel like they didn't play up the magic aspect enough at first?  Which may be a strange thing to say about talking, multi-colored horses, but I dunno.  They seemed much more separate from 'traditional fantasy', up until they started doing things like the G2 princess ponies.  But sadly they were already dead in the US by that point.

I also think having a bunch of unicorns and pegasus ponies would have helped.  Never understood why G2 and G3 were so sparing with them.

Myeah, the carry case was kinda bad :P It did come with a pony, but only as a Spanish exclusive >.<

I would have loved to have some proper pegasi in the G2 line, although I'm happy enough that they had dragons, even if there only were two  :)

Agreed, there should always be more unicorns and pegasi!  I think the lack of a cartoon to support the line maybe didn't help with sales in North America too.

I love the G2s as well, and have been slowly collecting them. I wish I'd had more money to spend when they were in stores and shipping from Europe was cheaper. (But I just bought 5 more from France last week and I'm excited to see them arrive!)

It really was terrible.  The dang rainbow pieces that came with the ponies didn't even fit on the fence posts they designed for it!  That was one of several reasons I ended up returning mine to Toys R' Us.  Cheap, minimal accessories and stickers too.  And ugly to boot - honestly that front panel would have been better as a sticker (like the baby bonnet school of dance) than the low-relief plastic in eye burning pink.
G1 Wishlist  It's the final countdown! Looking to purchase the last few G1's for my collection - Watercolor Baby Sea Ponies Foamy, Misty & Surfy - Red Roses - SHS Sweet Sundrop - Springy - Teeny Tiny Snookums (#2)

I grew up with G1 ponies, so when G2 came into play. I was livid. My beloved ponies had changed and I wanted nothing to do with them....fastford to about now, I found I G2 in the wild, with a hair cut...but I loved the interesting colorations. Not sure it’s name to this day, but I love him. Just got a group of G2. Ponies and kept one, because I loved the colors. I have a feeling this is a road towards expanding my desired collection:)

I got G2 Skyskimmer new when I was 4, and she and Ivy are still in better condition than any of my other ponies that I've had nearly as long. I don't actively collect them but I think G2 look nice. They're like the teenager generation.

I like G2 ponies. I only had three in my childhood can't remember two of the names, I only remember Morning Glory. I so want to collect them again, but have to get rid of some of my G1 ponies that I Rerooted (only the ones I don't need).

Main G2 ponies I'm interested in are the princesses, and baby ponies. Plus the Prince ponies.

A mother pony can be protective of her young just like dogs.

I previously didn't have any, but had been meaning to aquire some for a while. I recently discovered that I live in the same area as Ponypunk83  :happy: We had a pony-party, and she gave me a few of her extra G2s to start with  :frolic: :frolic:

I love G2s but sadly I don't own any except for a McD's Light Heart. Too bad they're so difficult to find in the US.
