Okay, I have a "Would You Rather" question, I thought of the other day and thought I would ask because I was curious.
You can only choose ONE of the following. No finding any loopholes!
Would you rather collect G1 only but you CANNOT collect any of the other generations?
OR
Would you rather collect all other generations but you CANNOT collect anything G1 at all?
I'm sure this will be simple for some, and agonizing for others! For me, it is simple. I only collect G1. Give me my vintage MLP.
-
Only G1. That's what I grew up with!
-
Probably all gens but G1-it's the thrill of the hunt for me and I think G3 is a delight to find because of the variety and ease!
-
Hmmm it's a hard choice as someone who collects all of them. G1 is my favorite generation, but G3 is a very close second. They would be tied if not for the fact that G3 imo has too many earth ponies compared to unicorns and pegasi. I wish it was more balanced like G1 is.
G1 is my favorite so you would think due to that it'd be the obvious choice but of course there are other factors to consider. The average G1 tends to cost more than the average G3, especially after the recent rise of pony prices on eBay (which iirc began around when covid started?). It really is hard to choose between my favorite which would cost a bit more. vs the rest of them, which aren't my #1s but wouldn't cost as much money to obtain in most circumstances....
-
Welp, seeing as the bulk of my collection is g3 and g4 (especially the latter), I guess I'd do well to pick the "all but g1" option.
Good thing this is only a hypothetical situation! :P
-
Hypothetically, G1. But even then I'd be crying if I couldn't include HQG1C...
-
Only G1. That's what I grew up with!
I would do this too.
-
Oh this one is easy seeing how my collection is already strictly G1. There are some pony designs from every generation I can appreciate, but I'm happy to admire the other gens from afar.
-
Everything but g1 it would be cheaper for me because right now the prices on some are way too high for what they used to be sold for on eBay. I also have too much g1 and not enough of the other generations and I want to buy more stuff from g2 to g5.
-
Do you get to keep the ponies you have now? I'm happy with my g4 collection (except I need more build a bears haha) but for the rest I'm good.
I'd still pick only g1, that's the bulk of my pony collection and I love them so much.
-
If I had to choose it would be G1. As much as I love the other gen ponies I own, very few of them are meaningful to me in the way my childhood ponies are. So I'd pick G1 without hesitation.
Reading other posts, I guess I answer this as well with the collection I already have, and the idea of giving up the others vs giving up the G1s, rather than being able to keep what I already have :) I am not sure what the OP intended there.
But I don't buy G1 much any more, not actual ponies...I don't have many gaps, and am only looking for the odd variation. Mostly it's leaflets, cards and other things now that I look for with G1. Maybe the occasional MOC when I have money. So probably at the moment I buy more from other gens. Even despite that I'd still pick G1. Because MLP is meaningless to me without G1. :)
-
G1. I've always been a G1 collector primarily, although I have ponies from other gens. But G1 is the only gen I collect in any sort of goal-oriented way, so it's an easy choice.
-
oooh tricky. Most of my collection is g1. So I want to pick just g1.
But I think I have to go with no g1, all of the others. g2s are too important to me. Would that mean I lose my 2 g1 childhood ponies? D: gahh, this is a trikcy one!
-
I would just go with G1. I know to me G3 and G4 have their own appeal but I really will hold G1 close to my heart because I grew up playing with them. :)
-
Wow, that's a tough one. To ONLY be limited to G1 would be less than desirable but I do think that is what I would go with. Would definitely miss G3 though, and not being able to get any of the new ponies!
-
Ooohh that's tough... I think I'd have to go with G1-only, but it'd be heartwrenching to give up my beloved G2 Ivy, not to mention all my other non-G1 pretties!
Now, if I got to keep the ponies I already have BUT could only buy G1s from now on, then that'd be fine with me. It'd suck to miss out on the rest of the non-G1s on my wishlist, but I could put up with it.
-
Ah, so I've noticed some of you were asking if they chose G1 only, could they still keep the other gens they had and vice versa. I guess I didn't consider that when I posted this question. Well, I intended you could only have what ever option you chose. So if you chose G1 only, you would have to forgo the other gens you already had. Sorry! But as someone stated, good thing this is only hypothetical! That's what makes them so fun, right?
-
Other gens for me.
It would be sad though!
