Set completion- do you collect them all?

[flutterscotch]

I have both Baby AJ and Baby Blossom from new here in the UK but I'm not aware of any differences on Blossom. EXCEPT that there are 2 versions of Baby Blossom, one darker and one paler purple (the latter fades more easily to grey/beige). But both were here...and it's like Windy, it's just a batch difference.

I have one where the head and body are each different batches of plastic and it drives me up the wall. Its like one was made with the Flatfoot Blossom plastic leftovers, and one was made with the Concave Foot Blossom leftovers. (yeah it's the one in my sig, I ripped her head off looking for a solution).  It makes me sad because I like them both ways.  A faded Blossom is quite pretty!

Congrats on your sets!  I wouldn't mind having all the babies and new born twin sets.  But, I don't actively collect.   I do have all of the original collector's pose ponies.  I think that's the only set I've completed.

Absolutely Every pony - every set - every accessory (of course)!

Although now as everything is complete...its more about upgrading or "tweaking" lol.

However, when I started collecting I certainly didn't intend to complete everything. I planned to just buy those I liked...and then eventually it was just the sets I liked...before finally it was all the ponies

I do I like to complete sets it makes me think I achived something special. I like to complete them alot. I know that means I will have more ponies in the future. Though that seems to be a thing with me. I do upgrade ponies too when I think I need to get a better one. I mainly just focus on the sets of G1s. Any other gen I completed its just a bonus.

That is so much MLP I love the MLP accessories, and that was actually a super fun hunt for me with my collection too! Finding the accessories!! It was especially awesome to get all missing accessories to my childhood Dream Castle for instance

Not a completionist at all! 

I decided from the very beginning that there were just *way* too many ponies to collect them all and I would just get the ones I really loved (which is still loads, lol!)!

As for favourite set, wow - that's tough! I love all the collector pose ponies, the dream beauties (minus the Trim 'n' Grow ones) and the TE ponies (minus a few) the Peachy, Lemondrop, Cascade and Majesty playset ponies, the second set of unicorns...oh, and the second set of rainbow ponies (minus Pinwheel), and the second lot of TAF ponies and the sweetberry ponies and, and, and.... 

No piccies at the mo - sorry!

Set completion is not my objective, but I find that neat when they are coming together as I find ponies with time. ^^

When it comes to G1 I’m a set completer. I didn’t start that way though. I originally wanted to get the ones I wanted as a child. Then it moved to wanting ponies I liked that I didn’t know about as a child. Then I wanted to start finishing sets that were 1-2 ponies short. That moved to wanting to finish the US/Canada releases. (Just working on some mail orders for that goal.) I also tend to be on the lookout for accessories as well as European ponies now.  I’m sure it will keep expanding from here. I’m also lucky to have started collecting as a teenager in 1999. I found many ponies very cheaply at yard sales and flea markets.

The sets are so adorable when all together I love the Dream Castle - one of the best sets beyound a doubt!
