Hmmm...I need one more pony, one more barrette, 3 more combs and then yup I am done :P

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Finally completing your own collection.
Dare I ask what that last pony is?

My goals always change-  I never try to get ALL of something (with a very few exceptions)-

And even once you have everything there is - there are always prototypes, oddities and customs!

I don't think I'll be done for a loooooong time. I have so many ponies on my wish list and some pricey ones (Rapunzel, Icey, Sugarcake, year three sea ponies) And after I get all the ponies on my wish list I'm going to try to collect ALL the unicorns from each gen, minus nirvanas ;)

Nope, and I think it'll be a long while before I am (don't have every pony yet :P not including nirvanas, not worried about those)

I keep finding new things to add to my want list. I'll see something in person that I didn't like in pictures and it's so awesome I must have it. Or I'll learn about something I've never even heard of. It'll be a long long time before I have all the ponies on my wishlist, but even once I do, there's always customs!

I'll probably tell myself I'm done once I complete my non-butterfly bug symbol collection but I know I'll go "... but this pony is cute too..."

I don't think I'll ever be finished unless I lose interest in them and that doesn't seem likely to happen soon.  I have almost all the G1's that I want, but there are plenty more that I like.  A lot of the ones left that I want are harder to find and expensive so it'll take awhile to get them.  And then there's the accessories!  How I adore accessories.

Add the fact that Hasbro keeps making more ponies and playsets and I don't think I'll ever be done.  I intend to have ponies on display in my nursing home room someday, so by then I probably won't be buying any more.   :P

Now that you mention it, Yah, I think I'm done with G1-G3, I have Chief, MB Sunburst, Magic Star, Clever Clover, and Pearly Pie.  Those are my personal grails.  Though I never leave a pony at thrift, (except McPonies).

G4, I dunno, the only ones i dont have that interest me are the upcoming TRU collection.  Masked ponies are a pass, and blind bags are a pass.  Unless Hasbro has some neat surprises in fall, I think I'll have a passive 2013 collecting year.

I just re-started my collection. Had to sell most of it off several years ago, due to real life issues. That was mostly G3 and a few G1's. That being said, I know right now that this go round. My collection will have an end point, there are critically important real life things going on. That need my money and attention more, plus living space in a few years. Is going to be down sized greatly.

But that's just me. I'll still collect merchandise and hang out here.

I don't think I'll ever be done with collecting. Knowing me I'll always be able to find a pony or a pony accessary I want to collect. :biggrin:
I'm only really collecting g1s at the moment with a couple of g3s and g4s sneaking in here and there....  :lol: but I figure once I've got all the g1s I want I'll just move on to other generations and customs. Though I guess this plan could change once my house has become over-run with ponies..... or I could just get another house..... ooh a whole house to just keep ponies in! :biggrin: Hmm might not have a husband then though...  :P

I dunno mine seems on and off. I have the ones I really like, and I like to keep my collection small. I have tons of other collections, ad I cannot let ponies run those over. I tend to buy here and there and anymore it's to rehair or clean up. I love fixing them up, but I also like my numbers to stay down. I know right now all of my girls fit in two storage tubs.

I suppose actively seeking new ponies yeah I'm done. I'll pick up a few sometimes to fiddle with.
