My parents don't really mind and even help me by buying ponies when they're on sale or if they find them at goodwill or at flea markets, although they do regularly ask me if I haven't gotten enough ponies already.

My boyfriend wasn't too thrilled about it at first, which was pretty much my own fault because I was only able to show him my pony room after one full year of collecting (during which I went from owning 10 ponies to owning more than 200). Needless to say, I ended up giving him quite the shock.  He knew I started collecting ponies but he didn't realise it went to that extent. He got rather upset at the thought that I would be bringing all these ponies along once we started living together. Luckily he calmed down quickly and apologized for overreacting. I reassured him that I would always keep my collection contained into one seperate room and it's all good now Don't think he'll ever buy me ponies but he doesn't mind me buying them and shares my excitement when I find rare ponies.  That's all I need 

My friends know I collect ponies but also don't know to what extent it goes since I've never gotten around to showing them a pic of my pony room. Most of my friends are also into collecting toys though, so I assume they wouldn't think it's weird.

So this pony finally arrived at my house from the French Toys'R'us website after lots of trouble. After she arrived I pressed the button to hear her talk. I know she has a variety of different quotes, but when I pressed the button on her flank, I only hear two options: the maniacal laughter and the magical whooshing sounds to which her wings light up. I thought this was strange since I own the Nightmare Moon version of this line and she says all of her intended quotes while in the package.

My guess would be that something is wrong with the demo batteries included. But I'm not sure if a low battery could result in only two quotes being said. I'd rather not  take her out of her box to try other batteries though.

Another possibility that came to mind (which I hope isn't the case) is that the European Stores sell a different Chrysallis who doesn't have any quotes other than those two things. I did notice a difference in the back of the package. Most of the Chrysalises I saw in reviews have this version of the back:

So I was wondering what you guys think. Is my Chrysalis low on batteries, defective or is she just a different version alltogether?

Either it was Baby Sweetsteps or Baby Lickety-Split.
I know my mom bought them for me at separate flea markets when I was 10 years old but I don't remember which one I got first.

Wow, is that an official MLP cart?

The girls all look spot on. It's a big improvement compared to other real life promotions Hasbro has put out for EQG. Love the costumes, the pony statues and the design of the cart. Love everything about this in general

So, who else is excited for the new Snow Miku? She looks so cute and I love that knitted cap. 

I got 10 of these while buying ponies this past month. They were all in great condition, so I just put them all in one bag and sold them at a flea market for a dollar. I made the little girl who bought them very happy and later spent that dollar on a baby Apple Delight that I found on that same flea market  Win-Win

Well damn, she's so perfectly white I could've sworn she was meant to be this way. 
Thanks for the help ^^

This weekend I went to a convention (I guess you could call it my country's equivalent of Comic Con). While I was looking around, I caught sight of a familiar looking box being sold at a booth with MLP merchandise. Low and behold, it was the Ponymania Collection I had been wanting for a long time . In Europe, the cheapest price I could find for it was 90$, and with all those jacked up prices at conventions I feared it would cost even more. But nope, it only cost 30$ I bought it immediately and grabbed a big pinkie pie too. I thought it couldn't get better than this, but then I passed by a booth that sold old toys. I took a look around and found 2 boxes overflowing with G1 ponies   

Needless to say I dove right in. The prices were okay (5$ for G1 ponies, 2$ for G2, 3$ for G1 babies and seaponies and 6$ for small flutterponies, regardless of their condition). Unfortunately, because there were so many ponies, buying them all wasn't an option. So I selected the prettiest ponies that had the best condition. Sadly I'm too unfamiliar with rare ponies so I hope I didn't miss out on a good deal. This is the result:

When I finally came home on sunday after this tiring weekend, my parents had another surprise for me. They went to a fleamarket and found someone selling an entire box of MLP stuff for only 3$ , a big Pinkie Pie, two baby ponies and two G3 plushies. They bought them for me since it was cheap. The box included 2 G1's, 5 G2's, a G3 baby, My Pretty Parlor, some other accessories and the Celebration Castle's furniture. My mom also saw Cadence and Rainbow Rocks Rarity on sale at a toy store and brought them along too.

I already own the castle with everything included, so I'll probably sell the furniture soon to someone who can use it I also have a big Pinkie already, but this one is in better condition. If the new Pinkie also speaks Dutch, I'll keep her and sell the other one.  

Before this weekend I assumed my biggest MLP highlight would've been being able to finally wear the Pinkie Pie cosplay I made Glad I was proven wrong.
