Hello,

Now everyone  knows certain ponies are rarer then others.
For example, I see way more peachy's on ebay then I see mimics.

Even tho its easier* to get hold of some ponies, making them more common*. What common* ponies took you forever to get, or are there any you still haven't added to your herd, despite having them on your wishlist/meaning to?

For me, I don't own bluebelle,snuzzle,minty,applejack,cotton candy, cherries jubilee and a whole bunch more.

So what do you think? Plans on getting these? Are of these ponies rare in your area?

I would love to know.

Cheers,

Luke

I still don't have Peachy! For someone who grew their collection on lots of eBay lots, I'm surprised I haven't gotten one yet. I don't know if I'll actually buy one separately, or just wait to see if she comes in a lot.
Also, I don't think I have a G3 Pinkie Pie in a non-core7 pose. I have only one.

I don't have a Firefly yet, despite her being relatively common to find in the wild (at least, where I used to live). I could have bought her at the recent pony meet I went to because there were a ton of cheap ones, but she means a lot to me as one of my childhood ponies that I found at a garage sale so I'd rather find her myself in the wild, if that makes any sense at all >u<;

I do still need to get Peachy, Blossom, Butterscotch, Bluebell, and Minty too, but I'm sure I'll find some of the more common ones I'm missing once I start going to flea markets and such ^u^

I don't have an original Peachy! I did finally end up with one when I bought the repro Show Stable, but... to be perfectly honest... I got it more for the new Twinkles than Peachy ^^;

Never got round to buying a G1 Minty, either! Or G3 Minty - I have a couple of Ponyville Mintys (Minties?) but no brushables. Weird since I love Minty.

It took forever for me to find a Glory! About 2 years into collecting I found one at goodwill.

I still don't have Bowtie, Sunbeam, Bluebell, or Minty.

G1 Starshine! Almost every Starshine I've come across has a few problems, such as dulled white colouring, glitter loss or slight peppering. But the one major flaw she almost always seems to have is cancer... and it's always embedded within her beautiful glitter symbols! Finding a flawless Starshine, who is sparkling white with no cancer (that hasn't been re-haired) seems impossible to me  :cry:

Reading this makes me giggle. I keep getting/finding Peachy everywhere. Currently have 5 of her
It took me ages to get some decent looking Apple Jacks (G1).  But that also might be because I'm very picky

Do store shelves count as "the wild"?

Pretty Parlor, not Show Stable :P It took the reissue Pretty Parlor for me to get a Peachy as well. And in fact I didn't have any of the Original Six til the 35th Anniversary stuff came along.

It also took me til 2018 to get Baby Ember and Baby Sundance, and I know they're fairly common.
should be perma-moderated

I've only found ponies in the wild once in my over 10 years living here. So 8m sure I'm missing a lot.  Plus it's be a few years since I've bought a pony.

Ugh, so many! For starters, I don't have a nice, regular Peachy. Just manky Italians. Other than her I am still missing the original six (I only have Cotton Candy), Glory, Twilight, Sunbeam, Moonstone, Windy, Sunlight, Majesty (though I doubt she is that common, especially in good shape), Applejack in Sundance's pose... Firefly is another one, but I don't like her, so that's okay. XD

Quite a few, actually. I didn't have a firefly for ages until my girlfriend bought me one - it was only later that I realised the reason I didn't have one was because they weren't sold in the UK!

I still don't have a posey, most of the CP ponies... There's so many commons I have yet to pad out my collection with.

For me I guess it would be ones that my sister has that I am not interested in getting, since we always collected together and in a sense still do.

Off the top of my head I know I don't have either bride pony. I don't actually have an (original, I have a retro) Tickle either. Or a Bubbles I don't think. I know I don't have Barnacle but I guess he doesn't count as common ;) (Tickle wasn't sold here though originally so I guess she isn't common either)

I don't think I have a BBE baby Cuddles, I certainly don't have a BBE baby Lickety Split. I don't believe I have a BBE Baby heart throb and Baby Lickety I have but I'm not keeping her. I don't have Brilliant Blossoms the MGR, although I did used to have her MIB once upon a time.

There are others but those spring to mind.

Until the 35th anniversary ponies/retro G1 ponies  came out I didn't have Minty, Snuzzle, Minty, Blueblue Blossom, Butterscotch or Peachy.
