An Oldie Moldy Returnith

[Baby Sugarberry]

Greetings and salutations, fellow collectors!


Why am I an oldie moldy?  Well the last time I participated in the pony community, MLPTP had just opened, there was still more than one popular search engine, and everyone was expected to choose a unique pony name for themselves. *chuckles* There were more than enough to go around at the time.


(Anyone remember the Pony Name Registry, perchance? and webrings? How frames caused problems on a lot of sites? My Little Pony Monthly via email?)


So what do I have in my stable?
I collect G1 exclusively, though I do adopt lost and orphaned G3's when I come across them.  I do not actively collect the G2, G3 or G4 toys; to me, G1 will always be the "real" ponies of my childhood.  I'm missing about 30 ponies from the retail Can/US release, and another twenty-some odd mail orders. 


I've been lurking around for a while, buying a few things here and there, and figured it was about time to introduce myself, so here I am. 


Looking forward to trading with all of you, like old times!

Hello and Welcome back to the Arena!

 Glad you came back into ponydom!

Greetings and welcome to the Arena. If I interpret correctly, did you have an older account here? I can help you get back into it, if you like.

[Baby Sugarberry]

No, I don't believe I had an older account here (if I did, it would have been registered under the current email for this account; if you want to check, I certainly don't mind!)  That said, my memory's not known to be perfect (whos is). I remember having a My Little Pony Trading Post account simply eons ago, but I don't think I ever joined the Arena.

[SourdoughStomper]

Okay, just checking.

[Baby Sugarberry]

Thank you for the help. ^_^ Quite understandable you wouldn't want doubles running around.

That welcome would be better appreciated if you weren't spamming everyone with that exact line over and over, mlpfan... 
Thank you for the welcome, Sea_Breeze!  Hopefully there are more real people around. *shakes the rafters*  Come on out, I don't bite, promise!  Would especially love to meet some fellow Canadian collectors.

Welcome back to collecting, Babysugerberry.  The G1s will always be my favourite generation too.

[Baby Sugarberry]

The toys of one's own childhood always hold a special place in our hearts, I think.  n_n
I appreciate the other gens for keeping the pony spirit alive, though, in whatever form it may be.

Welcome back to the land of Pony!    There are a number of collectors focused on G1 like yourself.  I am sure you will make friends again soon!

[Tiella]

Welcome back, I hope you enjoy the new arena!

Welcome to the Arena, I think I remember you from the TP, I used to spend a bit of time there years ago.  Are you going to try and finish your G1 collection?

[Baby Sugarberry]

I am indeed going to try to finish my G1 collection (at least the retail releases, The few mail orders that run into the triple digits are out of my comfort zone), though I think  my bank account is going to hate me for it anyways.  Ordering a Mimic put a hefty dent in my pony budget.     


I still have to go through my old trade/bait bins and see what's salvageable.  Ponies didn't use to be quite so pricey... I remember the days where you practically had to give away perfume puff ponies, and most people didn't want Sweetheart Sisters either.


Which reminds me, I need to trot on over to the Wanted section and put up my lists, and see if I have anything to offer lovesbabysquirmy for that Baby Splashes on her trade list....
So much to do.
