the only set I want to complete is  one that's not even past their prototype stage, which is the g1 Fancy Swirls.
Come on, Bridge Direct!

Oh wow, they are beautiful! I do have one or two complete G1 sets but some of my clans are picked from one or two different sets. Some like ponies just come in pairs in my collections.

I don't usually go for sets, I just want the white or boy ponies. I happened to obtain the first set of rainbow ponies, but the only set I really want to complete is the big brothers (and if I was rich, mountain boys) because I love thir molds.

My goal in the long term is to eventually own every US released pony, minus some variations. But at the moment I'm buying the ponies I like the most/what I find locally. Once I've bought one pony, I tend to keep an eye out on others from the same set. But I don't actively hunt down entire sets because I absolutely have to complete them.

The only set I've bothered to complete is the Year Two Rainbow Ponies. Because I liked them all and thought they looked so good together. Oh, wait, I also tracked down all the G4 Glimmer Wing Ponies after they were out of stores.

I don't complete sets, I just collect whatever I like and don't have much space for 'extra' stuff. I'd rather fill my spaces with stuff I absolutely want, and I'm not a completionist by any means when it comes to mlp!

That being said I wouldn't mind getting Mommy Apple Delight and Baby Brother Apple Delight as an exception, since I would love to own daddy and baby sister some day. Wouldn't be actively looking to complete the family, but if I came across those two I wouldn't say no!

There's also the red/white/blue/yellow palette Argentina nirvanas. Peachy, North Star, Buttons, and maaayyybe Lovely Melody.

While these aren't technically a set, I'd love to have any of them since the color scheme is beautiful!

I don't try to complete every set I get a pony from, but there are some sets I want to complete, ones where I really love every pony in it, or at the very least the overwhelming majority of the ponies in it. I want to complete:

Spoiler
-So Soft Ponies (preferably with nice flocking, I've got 4 so far)
-Twinkle Eyed Ponies (I've got 7/15)
-Twice As Fancy Ponies (I've got 5, also not sure if I should aim just for the main TAFs and playset TAFs or also include Sunshines, babies, etc as well? That'd be a lot harder but it's such a great gimmick!)
-Pretty and Pearly Baby Sea Ponies (I've got just one, Water Lily. But I want to get every pony out there with a pearly gimmick, and therefore wish to have all of these)
-Princess Ponies (I've got 2/12)
-Pony Friends (I've got one, Kingsley)
-Brush 'n Grow Ponies (and Princess Brush 'n Grows, I've just got Glittering Gem)
-Summer/Windy Wing Ponies (I've just got 1, Sun Glider)
-Merry Go Round Ponies (I have none...)
-Sparkle Ponies (I have 3/6, content with just store releases for the most part, but I'd like mail order versions of Star Hopper and Napper as well because of the different hair)
-Sweetheart Sister Ponies (like, all the SHS sets, not just the first. Love these elegant girls!)
-Baby Pearlized Ponies (have none another pearly set!)
-Baby Sparkle Ponies (have none)
-Ballerina Ponies (just have two babies so far)
-Drink 'n Wet Ponies (2/4)
-Rockin' Beats Ponies (have none)
-Glow 'n Show Ponies (have none)
-Teeny Tiny Baby Ponies (have none)
-Flower Fantasy Ponies (have none)
-Colorswirl Ponies (have one, Lovebeam)
-Fancy Mermaid Ponies (have none)
-7 Pony Friends (have none)
-Family Friends and Family Baby Ponies (have none)
-Hair-Do Ponies (have none, another pearly set!)
-Rollerskate Ponies (have none)
-Seaside Baby Ponies (have none)
-Sweetie Baby Ponies (have none)

Geez, there's a lot more I want to complete than I thought there were. Some do take priority over others, but with all of these I either just love all the ponies' color schemes, or I just really love the gimmick itself. Which is probably the case with most of these?

My completionist tendencies come out when I reach the point of having half or more of the ponies from a certain set. At that point when there's only 1-2 left I find myself compelled to complete the set. Although this is a habit I really am trying to break. I try to only collect what I love but its easy to fall into a trap of the never ending wishlist!

I wouldn´t really call my self a completionist, but I´ve found that as soon as I have two or more from the same set, I get an urge to complete it.

So far I only have two full sets:
- Baby ponies from year 3
-TAF first set, year 5 I think

One from complete set:
-CP year 1

I would really like to have a complete TAF year 6 too, and the rainbow ponies from year 2 &3.

I used to.... I had a number of complete sets or almost-complete sets.  But it's not as important to me as it used to be.

No, I'm not a set completer. In fact, I don't think I have any complete sets at all.
