If you could time travel back to the 80's what would you get?

[tulagirl]

If you could time travel back to the 1980's and took 200.00  of 1980's marked bills, wore your 1980's outfit and landed in the middle of a store parkling lot that sold MLP.  Which ones would you bring back with you? Everything?
 
I sit and often think about this for many toys besides MLP.  I know I would love having those MOC ponies.  One thing is for sure I would love to get Baby Princess Sparkle...probably Mimic also and sea ponies..all the boy adults I could find, and Cha Cha the LLama, baby Leaper, the list would go on and on.
 
I have only lived in the USA so I can't imagine getting my hands on a moc Nirvana..that would be amazing.  Guess we could try to take the time machine to any country..that would really be a blast.

Since I purchased  most of my USA G1 collection new I'd prefer to be dropped somewhere like Greece or some international location that sold ponies I couldn't get my hands on back in the 80's because I didn't know anything about them. I did pretty well on getting the usa ponies back then I was just never aware there was different stuff being sold overseas.

So I'd need a time machine and a passport please.

I'd grab sea ponies and leave them out of the water so they stay fresh and don't get gunky and need to be cleaned. Probably also mountains of MOC Mimics to get me rich later, and Munchy! I'd also probably go back to my teen years and stop myself from ever getting rid of my childhood ponies, so I could still have them today.

ETA: 666th post. It's eeeeeviiiil!

Oh man...It's not so much a matter of what I'd get, but more of what I'd not get rid of! I HAD good stuff....problem is I got rid of it!

Knowing what I know now, I'd probably buy whatever rare and HTF ones the store had...and pick up a Glory and Sugarberry to keep MOC because they're so lovely~

And the other 80s toys I collect now that are harder to find and more expensive than most ponies

[tulagirl]

Its so funny you mention that, about the other country because I had just updated my post after thinking that would be the best thing ever. I don't own any MOC pony items from the 80's so a USA pony would be super.

I agree about the sea ponies..having them clean and mildew free would be wonderful.  Oh yea..buying to resell in the current time would be super fun also.
 
I have to agree I love Glory also..to see her brand new and sparkling white...wow

[DazzleKitty]

I'd snatch up all the MOC Mimics I could buy and then sell them on eBay.   Terrible I know but true. Of course I'd keep one or two for myself.

Too bad I couldn't get any mail orders unless I can stay back in time for a while. I'd get as many Rapunzels as I could. And sell them too....and keep a couple of myself of course!

[Sunset]

Of course, I'd love to own a mint on card Dancing Butterflies or any of the early unicorns.  But what I'd really like to do is go back to that McDonald's playground and tell my 5 year old self to remember to pick up Medley, my very first and beloved pony, and not trust that my great aunt had kept up with her.  Sadly, the pony who started my mlp addiction was lost that day. 
 
Of course, I got a lovely Heartthrob out of the deal from a very guilt ridden great aunt 

[Starbright]

Is it sad that I think about this sometimes?! I'd want a passport too so I could get all the Mountain Boys...two each...one to open and one to keep MOC. Then two each of the first and second rainbows and the German NBBE babies. And then MOCs of the flutters and I'd order the TAF babies...and buy a bunch of Mimics to sell so I could get the rest of the ponies with the proceeds from selling them!

[xeevee]

I'd get everything I could put my hands on!!

[BabyRainbou]

Hmmm... Is about five of  'every single pony ever' too much?

667th post! I am now SAFE.

If we all had access to a time machine and we all went back to the 1980's, we'd probably all buy MOC Mimics. . .  and then they wouldn't be worth nearly as much.  "Oh, you have a MOC Mimic, too?  Well, I have 5 from my trip to 1988." 

Anyway. . .

I'd like some boys, Crumpet, Wind Whistler, Nightglider and Paradise Estate for starters.

Then I'd hop over to the UK and buy some Mountain Boys and the kitchen. 

[JazzMatazz]

I would get some boy ponies, and all the animal friends!  ooo and all the TAFS!

[RAMChYLD]

If I could go back to the 80s somehow, I'd try to get the specials on video again and the sticker book that my young self destroyed out of cluelessness.  I don't think there are show-accurate Megan dolls in that period, and my only interest in the original G1 was Megan, so no toys for me. Tales 7 didn't come along until the 90s iirc. Childhood ponies? None

Then I'd probably make a side-stop on a midnight sometime in 1986 to raid my home's garbage to rescue that music box my toddler self threw out and have regretted doing so since.

 Of course, I'd be worried about leaving a dent in history and setting off a chaos theory chain reaction that changes the future.

Now wouldn't that be great!  Original CP's, Mountain boys, flutters sea ponies, TAF's, Gusty! Loving Famlies...   
I would clear the shelves of G1's and get filling out those mail order forms : )  And if I happened to travel back in time to Greece, then that would be amazing! Wonder how many Ladybirds and unicorns 200 would buy?... x

[starrypawz]

I'd grab hmm...
Fireball, Tornado and Lighting
