I'm 31 and live on the east coast of the United States. I was a bit too young to really get into G1 ponies but my sister had several of the toys and the VHS tape movie. I'd love to say I still have the ponies but alas, I gave them to someone since they were taking up space at the house.
I'm thinking of getting into it to do a bit of customizing. Gonna be taking it slowly to make sure I absolutely know what I'm doing, though.
