what are common ponies you don't have or took forever to get?

[BuckinghamAlice]

There's quite a few common ponies I don't have yet!  While my collection is bigger than I tend to think (lol), it's still more on the small side.  But a common one it took me a surprising amount of time to get is Sundance.  I actually got Megan first, lol.

For me, it's the Earth ponies I remember from when I was a kid and thought were kind of common, maybe because a good chunk of my cousins/friends also had them. Now I'd love to have them in my herd: Lickety Split, Surprise, Bowtie, Blossom, Sun Light. Thanks to Basic Fun I can snag a few of those and the others I'm on the hunt for. It's interesting because now I want them as before it was a case of "if I get them".

It took forever for me to get Posey even though I've loved her since childhood.

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

Pretty Parlor, not Show Stable 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.

Gah! I always get those two mixed up, no idea why. I could've sworn I'd checked the name before posting, too >.<

Lemon Drop: I have only just received her. And then she didn't have a tail. BUT she also didn't have head/body mismatch which seems to be pretty common for her and drives me nuts.

I still don't have Snuzzle, but I will some day.

I also literally just 2 days ago received Butterscotch and then it was the Italian version. She is too gorgeous.

I wonder if because the ponies are widely available we get a bit more picky about which one we choose to join our collection, whereas the rarer ones we accept whatever we can find?

For a long time I didn't want Cotton Candy, she was 'too pink' and 'too obvious'. Then of course one day I saw a dark pink one who looked fabulous to me and I had to get her - glad I waited for that particular pony.

If we're being pedantic (and just to annoy you a bit more), in the UK it's Grooming Parlour.. not Pretty Parlor. Despite Basic Fun's labelling.

Makes sense to me! I think that's why it took me so long to get a Minty, lol.

[Taffeta]

I love that we have an emoji for that ;D

I am also still not 100% convinced we had CF Minty in the UK. I am still looking for proof we did but none so far. If that's the case and we only had the FF back in 1983, it's not surprising that you found her harder to get. That's a long time ago when MLP wasn't really in full flow here...

[Carrehz]

If it makes any difference, it wasn't that I found her difficult to get, it was that I never got round to looking

[Miniature Sheep]

I don't have Lemon Drop, despite really liking yellow and purple and that pony being kind of ubiquitous. I will get her someday, it's one of those things where I keep meaning to do it, but constantly have my head turned by other things. Peachy isn't in my herd either, although she was one of my childhood ponies.

It took me ages to get the year 2 unicorns.

I still don't have ff Minty. She keeps going very high on Ebay

[tailrustedtealeaf]

I have something to add since we're talking about Minty-I've never encountered a CF Butterscotch? Plenty of FFs in my day, and my current collection Butterscotch is a FF, but never a CF one...and it's the reverse for Cotton Candy.
My set of six is evenly split, so I have FF Minty, Butterscotch, and Bluebelle and CF Cotton Candy, Blossom, and Snuzzle.

I genuinely don't think they count as 'common' if you're in the UK

I still don't have peachy!
