How do YOU keep track of your collection?

[Bothvar]

well I go to Klect.com but I also have printed out checklists. I need something for the ever overwhelming G3s. I have to get one of those G3 collectors books. :/

Oohh I hadn't heard about Klect (now to figure out how to use) But yeah, a collector book may be in order since there are a (bleep) ton...

I have all my ponies out so if I'm unsure of whether I already own something I just get off the couch and check.

Currently I have 90% of my collection in boxes QoQ! But thank god the bae said I could get a place to display my ponies in the house! So very soon that will help a lot!
Though if i'm out and about visiting thrift shops, that's what I really want it for!

I keep lists of which g4s and g3s I have and want, respectively. Since I'm so persnickety about which exact variants from which exact sets I get (for ponies with multiple releases), I have it organized by year, set and wave. Once a pony is obtained, it's removed from the want list and added to a specific spot in the have list. (I have few enough g1s and g2s that I don't need to make lists, haha)

Making a 'want' and 'have' list is a good idea!
I really feel the "I want specific ponies from a specific set" I got so so lucky finding a new G4 Wedding playset in a toy store on discount!

My collection is small enough that they all sit on shelves next to my computer, so I can just look around.

I've recently started a spreadsheet for my G1 collection. Nothing too fancy, just a very basic checklist I can use to keep tabs on things.

there's an iPhone app called Toy Collector 2 that I use.  they update their catalog so often.  you can also tag things as Want which is fun!

I don't. It's a mess, really. But I haven't bought a pony in ages except for a few I've picked up at flea markets, so it's not a big problem

Oh dear, this is a problem I have. Having almost 1,000 ponies, it gets pretty hard to keep track of what I have. I have the most trouble with G3s. There was one time I bought a G1 I already had. I try to remember in my head, but sometimes that just doesn't work.

[Taffeta]

Its not so impressive I only remember things which are not useful in normal life .

Same here. I can remember which variants of which ponies I have in what condition just fine, but forget actual important things almost instantly.

I tend to think that all the ponies are taking up space in my brain meant for boring things like phone numbers, and directions to places...

I do have trouble remembering what I have for G2, 3 and 4, mind you. It's only G1 that I know without looking in the cupboard. I also have to keep track of which ponies I have, which my sister has, which we both have and the handful of ponies that to prevent disputes as children we ended up sharing.

I have more G1 than anything, tho, so I think I maxed out the space already. I'm still cataloguing but I'm predicting somewhere around 1500 G1 when I'm done, so...no room in the brain for any others.

I thought I had 15 G4 and when I counted, discovered it was about 28 so..

when i was new to collecting i took photos of all my ponys and like write there name and when i bought them but then i stopt and now i have to do it all again xD

[Kiwi]

I have an Excel spreadsheet now - a separate tab for each gen, with columns for ponies, other (McD, PoP, etc), playsets, and merch. Top section of each is what I have, below is what other releases I know are out (basically a want list, even though I may not actively seek all releases, just wanted a complete list).

[BuckinghamAlice]

My collection is quite small, so it's been easy so far to keep track in my head.  I do have a list in a Word doc though.

[Honeycomb]

I'm not really keeping, but rather losing track of my collection. I should become more organized.
