Oops! Accidentally throwing out pony stuff.

[reddsetgogirl]

I'm so plagued with regret right now. For the last few weeks I have been sorting through my long neglected boxes of MLP accessories to match things up with their rightful pony, putting pony wear in sets and putting them in labelled baggies. Tonight I was sorting through G1 combs and barrettes and looking up online who had what. Then it hit me.

As I matched up Pretty Ups barrettes I saw a photo of an obscure green fish barrette. A few weeks ago I was sorting through a bag of accessories from a local sale I picked up a almost two years ago. A friend of a friend was selling two zip lock bags of pony stuff from her childhood. It included a bunch of random non-pony items like a Fairy Tail bird and comb, a LPS cat scratching post and some other things from other toys that I couldn't identify. I held onto all the extra unidentifiable things for two years just in case I could work out what they were one day. Well that day was a few weeks ago and being sick of useless clutter, I decided to toss out those unidentifiable things. Including a weird green fish barrette because it obviously wasn't MLP.

Except it was.
And now it's gone.

Has anyone else accidentally thrown away a pony thing? I feel awful.

It wasn't a pony item but I hated I threw out a hinge to my childhood She-ra castle D= I didn't realize until I came across the one I picked up second hand T.T

I wouldn't say 'throw out' exactly (because I'm a packrat and I never throw anything but actual trash away lol) but I did get rid of a bunch of combs at a garage sale when I was younger as I didn't initially know they were G1 MLP combs. I really only did research on ponies and things that were specifically marked Hasbro. I thought they were doll brushes  Ouch. The one that hurts the most is my Firefly, who accidentally got put out at a garage sale with the rest of my toys when I was cleaning out my childhood things and was sold before I realized the mistake. At least she went to a little girl who probably loved her as much as I did.

And then there's all of my original G3 packaging that got tossed out that I wish I'd asked my mom to keep. I kept all my Breyer boxes when I was a kid, I can't even fathom why I didn't do the same for my ponies.

No, but my dog got a hold of a very expensive pony accessory and chewed it to bits when he was a puppy.  I did not know it had fallen out of the cabinet on the floor.  Now I have to find it again, and that is going to be next to impossible. Boooooooo

I did almost throw out my Pokemon X cartridge. I dug through my trash and got it before I put it out, luckily. I don't loose any ponies in the trash, but they do get lost because I tend to toss them anywhere in my room. I found my water cutie Applejack with leaves in her hair because I didn't put her on a shelf and she fell off the edge of the desk.

I had to throw out a G2 advent calendar because somehow it had gone in storage and nobody had noticed there was some chocolate still in it *shivers*. Still sad about that, but there wasn't much choice...

I seem to have sold Portobella somehow, too. I am sure I didn't throw her out, but I have Lickity Split still, just no Portobella and no accessories. So maybe I picked up an extra Lickity somewhere and don't remember...but I feel like now I ought to have Portobella again, because Lickity is on her own xD.

As a child, most of my early packaging got thrown out. And somehow my 3 Mountain Boy stickers also vanished. They're the only ones I haven't got from my childhood. Also the only ones I can never afford to replace. Sigh. Never mind, at least I have the ponies.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I know that feeling *many pony hugs*

I found one of the earrings for my dance n prance pony while I was cleaning at my dad's house. Put it in my pocket, forgot about it, and it went through the washer & dryer. :/ I still have the pieces somewhere I think, but it's super mangled.

I didn't do this but my mom gave away two Rubbermaid bins full of my childhood ponies that I was keeping in storage in her house.  She said she didn't know I wanted them   In her defense, she does feel really bad about it.

If there was a My Little Pony camp, all of these would be scary stories told around the camp fire. The tale of the thrown out barrette. The tale of the naughty dog. The story of childhood ponies given away. Truly horrifying.

Oh my gosh,

Can we PLEASE have a My Little Pony camp? Please? Each tent can have pony names, and....

I would absolutely attend that pony camp!

[Taffeta]

Surely the Ghost of Paradise Estate would be the ultimate campfire favourite??

Or what is the story Patch tells in MLP Tales? The one at the sleepover about the knight?

(Thread now utterly derailed).

[Shatyr]

I should think Somnambula or Tambelon would show up in there too!

There would be two scavenger hunts. The first is for all the items listed in the episode "Sweet Stuff and the treasure hunt". The second is teams are assigned different thrift stores and garage sales. The team who buys the most MLP items at their assigned location wins the combined haul from all the other teams.
