To Open or Not to Open? And Who's your Best Pony?

[LazuliRose]

Ok, so I'm getting the second of my 'bow and arrow' Cutie mark collection in the mail soon.  It's the G3 Always and Forever, I'm sooooo excited!!

The only thing is, she's new in box , not that I'm upset about it but I'm not really one for packaging, I like my ponies out where I can play with them .  So here's the big Question, Should I take her out?  Or leave her in?

And just because it's always a fun question,
Who's your best pony?  (Basically who's your favorite)

Thanks guys!

Always and forever is fairly common.... It's completely up to you. IMO g3 and g4 are fair game to open. G1: absolutely no way. Lol

Oh and my fave pony is G1 Minty...I have a whole army!

I say leave her in box. You can find a loose one in excellent condition so easily. Time to think about not deboxing G3s.

Aww - open her up and play with her, I'd say! That's what I would do! Ponies are meant to be enjoyed!

AND, my fav pony of today - as well as most days - is this little cutie-pie:

I'd open her, I'm firmly in the "free the ponies" camp

My favourite pony is Skydancer

MIB camp here, but it is each person decision.  If you are really torn I would shop round and see if you can find one loose, then sell the MIB. 

Favorite pony?  Oh that is super easy G3 Minty with G1 Minty close behind.

I'm facing this same dilemma with a G3. I still have her boxed, but I'm thinking about deboxing.

Its up to an individual person what they do I am a complete and loose collector but I l happily collect MIB until I can replace it with a complete and loose pony.

And my fav pony is always Baby Fifi...but Sundance is a super close second.

[Sweetie-Swirl]

I think you should open her!
And my favorite pony is G3 Rainbowberry, I just love her colours!

[scarletjul]

I'd probably open her, if only because g3s are so easy to find MIB. 

Fave pony?  G1 Wind Whistler. 

[StarDragon]

I would vote to keep her in the box. You can always find one out of the box, but you can never make her MIB again. Or trade her for an open one with a MIB collector. That would be my decision anyways....

As for favorite G3, I tend to lean towards Desert Rose though I have other temporary favorites too, like I LOVE Alphabittle . ^^

I'm with the "Leave her in the box, sell her and buy a loose one" folks
Sure the G3's are easy to come by MIB these days, but the more people who open them up - the less MIB G3's we'll get and before we know it they're gonna be as rare and as expensive as the G1 MIB's/MOC's >.<

But it's your pony and your decition

As for my favorite pony. Well I think my Arena name sais it all Desert Rose all the way

[DancingPhoenix]

I'd leave her in the box as well, it's just so cool to see one still in it's box in a collection (especially a few years down the road). You'll probably be able to find a loose one at some point as well, so you can have your cake AND eat it too!

My favorite pony is G1 Surprise, with Crumpet close behind

[Juri]

I vote for keeping her in the box too and finding a loose one for sale

My favourite pony is Rainbow Curl Stripes

I don't know anymore... I hit the pony jackpot this evening (nice surprise as I came back from vacation today)... and I really don't think I'm going to go through the trouble of opening them anymore. I always end up with a ton of trash anyways -.- Or maybe I'm lazy now /:

(Oh crap, there's no delete button -___- And this message is only 43% relevant now... And I'm really tired... So as for my favorite pony.. It would have to be my movie Firefly. Not in the box though But she is the only pony I specifically remember getting in the store)
