Hello!
I'm a kid of the 80s and so naturally, I'm a MLP fanatic!
I had a small collection as a kid, and then one day, I came home from my Dad's house and my Mom had decided "you no longer play with these" and given half my ponies to a girl up the street. OMG! SO FALSE! I was like 11 years old and still played with them and adored them constantly. I wept over the loss of so many pony friends, including one of my all time favorites, Princess Tiffany.
Well, I think something snapped that day, because once I got to teenage years I started buying ponies any time I found them at a yard sale. Then came eBay. And well. . . Now I have several hundred G1 ponies, so take THAT, Mom! ;P
So that's my story! I'm very happy to find a forum in which to meet and chat with other pony fans and collectors. Looking forward to meeting you all!
