Post by: ChipsteRJ on November 09, 2015, 08:06:18 PM: All new pictures---- looks like I'm addicted to my army ponies (pretty pals, moulded tail petites, lil litter babies, stack toys)

G2s just keep coming- hit me up if you have any I need!

Where am I going to put my new additions? My army finally outgrew the carrier!

Perhaps moving my BPS army in with my Minty not so army... MY BPS army was created way back when she only cost about $25-30- been a few years since It has grown.

Even after moving out BPS my pals army doesn't have much growing room...

Goals for 2016:
Continue growing my G2s
Finish up my figurine stampers:

I really want to show off my G1 pets there are so many variants - whether intentional or poor quality control, I'd love to share them all... but I'm tired of taking photos for now...

Recent Set Completors from 2015
Even in this condition I spent too much- probably take a lottery winning before I can upgrade.

They are so stinkin' cute I got all of these through trades with some French Collectors! I guess most of the G2s were outside (or at least less popular) the USA?

I just paid for 5 or 6 (I can't remember) more!

Thanks! I wish I had more of my childhood collection, but my mother donated most of it to her work when I "out grew" ponies.
Some of the same numbers come with different color holders!

PS, Kiwi thanks for my sticky!

Sorry to hear your mum donated part of your collection. At least you've been able to but a bit of it back (and some! lol)

Thanks!

I did this mostly for my swap partners- to show that I don't just have NM ponies in my collection.

In fact if my swap partner happens across this post- I'll refer them to your Italy Glory & Skydancer otherwise after the new year if you still have them I might just contact you!

Post by: Leave a Whisper on November 15, 2015, 06:36:25 PM: Awesome bunch! Your pets are cute and I am so jealous of your Sunbright family!
Title: Re: Bit by the Nirvana bug... I spent way too much $$$$$ 6 month
Post by: Taffeta on November 16, 2015, 12:08:30 PM: Ah, some really awesome things in there! Especially Jewel babies with rings and charm bracelets. They are so difficult to lay hands on, I am still looking for them for mine after what, 17 years?

The families also, the Daddies are such a pain. I think Daddy Berrytown was the last of all of the ponies released in the UK that I needed and I had to get him in the end from the US because I could not find him here. I really wish that, when we were kids, we'd bought the daddies ;) but we never had enough money at the time...

Congrats on your sets and all your new additions :)

Not sure if you will be able to beat 2015, you have some had some lovely additions. I will keep an eye out for G2s in the wild for you. I have to be honest, I am not real familiar with them :huh:.

It was a sacrifice, such a cute brush, but I have no desire for Rama, so I'm glad it will be treasured by you for all time!

Thanks! I think I actually had the Surprise Lunch box as a child, but if I remember correctly it was the plastic clip version.

Maybe I'm just willing to pay more for them, although I have lost a quite a few auctions....

I'm a stack toy addict, so many probably get snatched up by me.

I have not counted them recently- I'm afraid to find out how many I have.

Post by: ghouldilocks on January 09, 2016, 07:26:59 AM: 2015 was the year I started collecting more actively again, so I added quite a few new members to my herd! I also started my inventory blog and made a spreadsheet of my collection as well.

I was truly blessed to happen upon Mimic, Munchy, and Night Glider, though, as those are ponies I never thought I would have in my collection due to their usual prices online!
