I'd like to have the store version.  I've had her and the rest of the Tales girls on my want/wish list for ages, but so far I've only bought Clover and Bon Bon. 

Congratulations on the beautiful new baby!  Her coloring is beautiful...I can see how it would be very hard to part with that one. 

I think her colors and symbol are very pretty, but I'll pass for now.  I'm not keen on the roller skates aspect, although I can see how that would appeal to other collectors. 

Happy birthday!   

Based on the cake photos you shared, it looks like you're having a wonderful day!  Your cake teaser picture looked great and the photo of the cake with Sunlight on top is beyond adorable!     I hope to see more pictures of all your pony b-day goodness.   

Congratulations on all your beautiful additions!  They all look to be in gorgeous condition and those Greek babies are super cute.   

OMG, she's soooo adorable!   

1.   Who is your most "valuable" / proud moment / grail-y pony?
I would say my MIB Baby Sugarcake (I love her and don't think I could ever part with her), followed by my MOC Spanish Love Melody 

2.   Who is your favorite pony?
Can I cheat and say more than one pony?  I’m in love with Baby Sugarcake and have a fondness for most ponies that are yellow.   I also recently fell in love with Moonstone; the Greek, Brazil, Peru versions are especially gorgeous! 

3.   Who do you think the most sought after pony is? (Apparently it's not Rapunzel  )
Mail Order Category: Baby Sugarcake and the TAF Babies
Non Mail Order Category: Mimic, Nightglider, Munchy
Nirvana: probably South Africans, some of the rarer Greeks
*I would also like to add that, while I think Rapunzel is sort of ugly, I’d totally buy her if she dropped below $300.  I think she has a reputation for being desirable that makes her desirable.  She almost seems like a Kardashian; we hate on her, yet we are fascinated by her, and we keep her in the public eye. 

4.    If you could advise the entire community to add one pony to their collection, who would that pony be and why do you think he or she is special / beautiful / unique?
I would suggest owning some version of Applejack (she’s a classic, supper adorable, and often reasonably priced) or Moonstone (she’s pretty and the regular release is reasonably priced).

5.   Who is your most wanted pony, right here right now?
Hmm…...this is a tough question because there are a number of ponies that I want, but none of them have that “OMG, MUST HAVE UBER GRAIL” feeling attached to them that others have had in the past.  At this point, I’d probably say the rest of the TAF Babies set, particularly Baby Sugarberry and Baby Love Melody.  I thought that they would continue to hover in the $50 to $70 range so I wasn’t in any hurry to get them, but their prices have been INSANE on ebay lately.  I hope they come back down in price soon.

6.   Do you collect individual ponies or do you collect by set?
I’m definitely not a “gotta catch ‘em all” type of collector; I just buy what I like.  Sometimes that means that I end up having a complete set because all the ponies in that set are awesome (think Mountain Boys), but I don’t set out to complete sets unless I genuinely like all of the ponies in the set.

7.   Would you rather have one rare pony or a few new less expensive ones? (All ponies in good condition and bought for their proper worth)
In general, I’d rather have one rare pony than a few less expensive ones.  I’ve always loved the Mail Order ponies, and I (unfortunately for my pocketbook) acquired a taste for Nirvanas about a year or so ago that has become an expensive habit.

Looking through the Sears Wishbook at my grandma's house and picking out the toys that I wanted was one of my favorite things to do before Christmas.
