When I first started collecting, my choices were based on nostalgia only. I was only trying to either replace ponies that my siblings or I had and loved as children, or acquire ones that I always wanted as a child but never got ('cuz I'm a grown-up and I CAN!!)But as I immersed myself more into the pony world, I started wanting more, and finding beauty in the later pony sets that I was previously not interested in because they were released after I aged out of ponies as a child, so I started collecting those too.
I have a fairly large collection with limited space, somI don’t often have a set want list or seek out ponies. I more so just keep my eye out at thrift store and antique stores to see if there is anyone I don’t have yet at an affordable price. Sometimes I like to search for customs on eBay and splurge on one of them every now and then! Since I have most of the common ponies in my collection customs have been a good way to get something new without emptying out my bank account. I’ve also started to sort of seek out fakies! I’ve found a lot of them are cute too and are affordable.
Trying to buy what I had as a kid and then buying all the things I drooled over in the pony pamphlets when I was little. Plus I really want all the ponies from the original TV show and movie. I started recollecting again when my niece was born and bought so much stuff for her, and then I realized I just wanted to collect too. So, I’ve needed to buy a lot it twice, some of my nieces stuff is in better condition than my version. Lol. I’m trying to complete a lot of the sets I only had maybe 1 or 2 of as a kid, as I always think they look so much better all together. I’m waiting on lots of pony mail right now to complete many of my sets. I’ve really blew a lot of money this year on pony.Whoopsies!
Since I've recently picked up my G1 collection and found my bin of childhood ponies, I realized many are missing. Im not sure if my parents tossed them, if its still in their attic or my nieces stole them.So I've decided to try to find and purchase those ponies I've had as a kid first. There's about 15 missing ones, give or take. Sometimes I'd find them in a lot with other ponies, and I'd buy them all anyway since they were bonuses for me.I think once I get those missing childhood ponies back, I'll decide if I want to continue to collect more or enjoy what I have since it's really all the nostalgia factor for me right now.
