Hi there. I am new to the forum, I was going to stay quiet but I can't access any other boards. Is there something I need to do? I tried looking for help but probably didn't look hard enough :blink:
I am autistic and picked up an interest in collecting in February/March of this year. This fixation got pretty strong and now I have full shelves of ponies. I tend to pay low prices for them, but no matter the cost, it builds up in the end. I have lost quite a bit of money to this hobby. I buy baity ponies and restore them myself.
Here is a list of all my ponies: https://data.mlpmerch.com/checklist/7009/
I previously had never stepped foot into an op shop (thrift store) but now I do it all the time. I'm located in New Zealand, though, which makes pre-g4 pony hunting quite hard. Ebay is not an option and neither is buying overseas. :huh:
All my ponies are local apart from 4 MIB g3s and one g1 baby which I acquired in a trade. There is one pony perk to living in such a distant country, though... international exclusives. I get these for relatively cheap and then swap them for overseas ponies. Shipping still costs heaps, though!
I grew up with the g4 show and a little bit of g1 media as well as owning the g3 trouble board game. There's a g3-shaped pony in the background of a childhood picture but I can't tell which one she is because she's so so blurry.
I have watched g4 many times and watched through most of g3 recently, but when it got to core 7, I stopped because I didn't like the change.
I hope I can meet some other collectors and learn more. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to the Arena! :good: You should have access now that you've made an introduction post :)
Sounds like you're off to a wonderful start with your collection! Shipping costs have become absurd in the recent years, tbh. I hope it doesn't stop you and other new collectors from enjoying ponies, though. Have fun browsing the forum!
