Has anyone else ever gone shopping, thinking “okay I’m going to go look at the mlp section” and imagined G1 or G3 ponies only to get there and realise, wait it’s G4. :redface: :silly:
I don’t do it with G1 because I was a little too young for them to still be instores. I got my first mlp from hand me downs not new. However I was a kid at the peak of G3 so I always envision G3 ponies when I think about going to shop for ponies. And I always catch myself too late and get to the shop and think “dang!”. I miss G3s more than I want to admit obviously!
Anyone else? I mention it because I completely did it again! I apologise for any horrendous mistakes as I’m typing on my phone.

Haha, I totally do this... When I got into collecting, G3 was doing the Crystal Princess line, with the gem-shaped boxes. Sometimes I find myself still thinking those will be out (: I miss g3 a lot xD Tho I have to say I'm living for the mermaids atm. Mermaids are totally my gig. (tho, I have still to get even one of the new ones xD ) :frolic:

Don't I wish.

I dream of finding G1's & G2's in store!

Compared to seeing G1s or G3s in store I’m super underwhelmed by G4 but I have seen some g4 customs that are lovely!

It sounds like a good throwback idea! If Hasbro released limited edition retro ponies!

Running Press made a mini Firefly and Glory with art books and brushes. I still see them at Barnes n Noble.
The Loyal Subjects released articulated mlps in blind boxes , featuring Firefly, Lickety-split, Sundance, Snuzzle, Glory, Applejack, Minty, Gusty and Princess Sparkle.

Oh cute! I’d definitely buy any actual retro releases. Even if they weren’t actually vintage!

Well with the G1 retro toys, you kinda can. :3
...If you live in the US ;)
I have honestly never done this. I remember G1 in stores. I regret their passing. I never think I'm going to see them though when I go shopping...I always know it will be G4.

It would be interesting if they released a generation transition pony that came as a set of 4, showcasing their design on every gen. But thats obviously also a big dream.

Only when I go thrift store hunting and there are a million different molds on the shelf. I go nuts trying to explain them all to my DH. Of course for the last few years, the fakies have all been the same.... :( now I get excited when there are different fakies, LOL

Wow see I havent found mlp in op shops for over a year and its starting to worry me. I always check even when I wasnt actively collecting, because doy I was in mlp denial!
-
I was really young when G1's were out and I didn't get my first actual G1's until when I was around four or five and by then it was 1988 or 1989. I do sometimes imagine G3's being in stores though.
-
Doesn't really happen to me because I didn't start until 2011
-
I started properly collecting when g3.5s were out. When g4s started to replace them I went around every shop to try and find the last of the g3.5s. I also once found a g3 in a discount shop (original Sweetberry with video) in 2012? and from that moment on I always hoped I would find another g3. I still walk into TKMaxx thinking I'll run into g3/3.5.... But I also forget that it was almost 10 years ago :P
-
Glad to know I'm not the only one! I just so wish I could walk into a store and find even a G3!!

I found the Running Press Glory at a Forbidden Planet recently! It's the only time I've ever seen any of the retro G1 toys over here, though.

I'm very jealous! We barely get G4s where I am. Theyve made both the mlp and the monster high sections of our kmart tiny!

When G4s started coming out, I thought they were justnew ponyville toys.
-
Not in stores, but it still happens. When I see "My Little Pony" mentioned somewhere I get all excited, until I realise that of course it's all G4 now. :(
-
Somewhere between G2 and G3 line, especially since G2 was in stores here up to 2004.
I was so dissappointed when the G2 line was over.

Yeah same. :(

Unfortunately the time when G2s were prominent, I wasnt doing a lot of collecting. I had some family things happen and some big moves and they just escaped most of my notice. I only have about 3 G2s and they were all presents or gifts. I have one other G2 that I refuse to give away because the lady at the op shop wrote 50 cents on her body in permanent marker. Maybe I should give her away but it was excessive!

hah, well it was months after she was first released in the US XD And it's the only time I've seen anything like that over here.
