I can't believe it... Completed!

[Sunshine]

I know brag threads are so much better with pictures, but I have none right now. 

My brag comes because I got a very special pony in the mail today, Baby Leaper... with him, I completed my Playtime Baby Brother set. Once I checked him off the list... I realized that with Leaper... not only did I complete my Playtime Baby Brothers, but I have just completed my Non-Mail Order US pony collection (excluding Dream Beauties, Petites and My Little Puppy/Kitty/Bunny).

I don't have much to say about it. I just had to get it out there. I'm almost speechless... can't believe it's finally happened. I started collecting in the mid 1990s, and collected until about 2000ish. Went off to college for... a million years, and now, while working on my PhD, was able to have my collection with me again (not having your collection on hand makes collecting SUPER hard, so I didn't collect like AT ALL while doing my BS and MS in college). Since 2010 I've had my collection and have been working on filling in the holes.

Now there are no more holes as far as the store-released US My Little Ponies. HOORAY! I wish my ponies could be on display so I could show my progress. One day they will be... 

Thanks for reading!

Thank you all for the kind words!

I hardly even realized it until I actually went to my checklist... One day I'll have to figure out how to make a good album of them all Since photos are the only way I can "display" them at the moment... hehe

I need  1 Dream Beauty, and 4 Mail Order ponies (thankfully not Sweet Scoops or Punzie, lol) and... well that wraps up the US. Haven't decided if I'm gonna go for Petites and the others, or just move onto Nirvanas and UK/Euro ponies... heh. My interests lie all over, so while this phase has been completed, I absolutely LOVE pony collecting because I truly see "no end" - there's always some crazy nirvana or brand new item... so, I just love the hunt too.

Thanks again, and thanks for the sticky!!
