Hello everyone,
I was leafing through my g1 unofficial collector's inventory and (according to my notes) my first completed g1 set was the second taf set. In the beginning if my collecting, before I was into g1's, I collected all the wave 9 g4 mlp figures.
This got me thinking, which was your first completed set? Why that set in particular? I would love to hear your stories. All generations are welcome :)

The Rainbow Curl ponies :)
Raincurl is my favorite pony, and I have her from childhood. I found the others, one at a time, in TLC condition and rehaired them all. I had a rehaired Raincurl too. So they are my Rehaired Rainbow Curls :P

Hmmm! :wonder: Good question! I’m such a cherry picker when it comes to collecting, I don’t think I’ve EVER completed a set of anything, whether it comes to ponies, Monster High, or candles (unless it was sold in a set, and even then, I have no qualms about splitting ‘em up).

Me too. I think the closest I've come is Basic Fun ponies. If I have a favorite, it tends to be the only one I want. And if I don't have a favorite the indecision makes me run away. :P

I think it was the year five TAFs, but I'm not positive.
-
I think it was the first set of princess ponies. Serena/Aquamarine was a childhood pony. I bought Tiffiany/Pearl and the rest of the set were gifts.

Oh my! That was so long ago. I can’t remember, but would assume it would have been the early year more common ponies 😆😆😆
-
I don't think I had ANY complete sets in my younger years, unless maybe the Tootsie & Lickety Split set (I THINK I had all six of those???)
-
Sundae Best! They're such a cute set. I don't have the complete set anymore, though.
-
I don't actually remember. Either the Sunshine ponies, the Tales ponies, the Merry Go Rounds or the Brush 'n Grow Ponies. Those were the sets I aimed for. But it's been like 15 to 20 years since then :blush:.

The G4 Wave 1 mane 6 singles. I just decided one day that I wanted to get them after seeing them online and remember walking to the store close to me to see if they had them and they did. I remember there was only one Rainbow Dash.
As for my childhood G1s, I only had like 8 ponies total and they were all from different sets except I had 2 Sweetberry ponies. Those were the only ones I wanted a full set of. I kept one of their backyards for quite some time dreaming of them.
-
:think: Maybe it was the Romance Ponies or Tropical Ponies set. Both sets are complete. :)
-
The Paradise Baby Ponies was my first complete set. :)
To be fair completing sets isn't something I really try to do. Like brightberry typically there's one pony in a set that will catch my eye and the others tend to get ignored / overlooked most of the time.
-
Mine was the Sundae best ponies. Simply because I had the entire set as a kid :D
As a collector I actually don't remember which set I completed first :blush:
-
Probably the G1 Baby Ponies. I don't remember for sure but i remember having all of them fairly early in my collecting days.

Same!!! In fact this post added a new column to my G1 spreadsheet I'm working on...
-
Hmmm. I completed a couple of sets around the same time, so I'm not sure which one was my first.
I have the complete set of the first set of rainbow ponies. I only have half of the second set.
I also have all the earth ponies, pegasuses, and unicorns from year 3. I don't know if each is counted as separate sets or they're all lumped together.
-
I don't have the complete set anymore as I wasn't planning on keeping them all, but it would be the Retro Mane Six Pack.
-
I think it was the original six when I started collecting.
-
To date my only complete set are the wave 1 rainbow ponies
-
i believe my first complete set was the Twilight pony wedding bridle friends pack, though i have long since lost everything but twilight herself and the necklace :sad:
-
The Rockin' Beats. It's the only set I owned complete as a child, so it's an easy one to answer.
My sister and I had a few baby sets complete between us as well, like we both had baby susie, I had billie and she had katie. But the Rockin' Beats was the first and only set I had complete myself as a kid. And probably the first we had either of us as well.
-
Sundae Best, though I sold them.
-
I think it was the orginal six. I think they were CC. im not sure its been so long I forgot.

Ooh, good question. I'm not really a set completer (it's rare I like ALL the ponies in a set; I'm not a completist, I just get the ones I like) so let's see....
Overall it's definitely G1 Dollymix, but just counting the actual Hasbro ponies, I think it'd be the Big Brothers?
