Don't you hate it when...

[xkelpiex]

You're broke and all these swaps are going on, and then you get unbroke and all of a sudden, the new swaps dry up! What do you guys hate about pony collecting?

[DazzleKitty]

I hate how I join three swaps at once and then have all these expenses.   I have enough money, but I should be saving. They are so much fun. I hope you can join another swap soon, xkelpiex!

[xkelpiex]

THat's another thing.....PONY EXPENSES! lol! I can't stop spending!

[Starly]

That Target and TRU are far away and they always have more stuff than Walmart, but my Walmart is slow on everything and TRU and Target sometimes lack stuff. :c

[xkelpiex]

That there is no Target in Canada yet!

I have a love-hate relationship with my ponies at the moment.

I love receiving them in the mail, but I hate that I can't stop spending money on them.

I hate that I still can't find Diamond Rose! I have searched since May or so and she still hasn't come up. She might have been at the TRU in New York City, but I was rushed and couldn't look properly (not to mention some lady blocking half of the shelf). I don't want to resort to Amazon

Kelpie... I'm in the same boat.  I went on a pony break, and didn't buy any, or even go on the site, and I miss the one big swap I really wanted to be a part of!  I suppose there is always next year.  Sigh.  I don't see any new swaps starting up either. 

[SkyCakes]

Same here. I cant join any swaps at the moment I have a feeling the only swap I will sign up for this year is an holiday swap. :/

[Leopard_Print_Unicorn]

When e-bay auctions end at inconvenient times.

When a whole lot of relatively rare ponies show up for sale at the same time when I have very little money, but I can't find them when I do have money.

Thinking about how much money I've given to the USPS.

[Yurusumaji]

Seeing all these awesome swaps and not joining them because I haven't even finished the custom I've been working on for 2 months and I don't want to find out I'm terrible after I join a swap and some poor member is stuck with me as their partner.

[StarDragon]

It's definitely when I get my paycheck, there are not many ponies to buy. Then when I'm out of money, all the good ones start showing up. Hate that

[DazzleKitty]

I hate how it's so hard to find G1 ponies at flea markets now. And when you do find them, it's usually a toy dealer who seriously jacks up the prices to a ridiculous amount.

[Leopard_Print_Unicorn]

Oh and I thought of another one. I am an *obsessive* completist most of the time, so I hate it when I angst about whether I should start collecting a certain set because I may not be able to ever find or afford the one or two rares in it.

Also I love deflocked ponies, but I hate deflocking. Same with hair styling.

Lol ^This!
