Hi Maple,
Great to meet you too. I've just joined and just started collecting. I'm from the UK but I love Texas and spent a month on visiting fellowship at Baylor University a few years ago, studying Robert Browning. Your studies sound extremely interesting!
I don't have any G3s but I have just started collecting G1s. Which 7 G1 ponies do you have? Which is your favourite? And wow, 300 G3s, where on earth do you keep them? And which are your favourites?

Edited to add: I'm not familiar with G3 but I just had a quick look and some of there are cute aren't they? I like Minty and Butterscotch (who I also happen to love in their G1 incarnations!)
