Hello, Arena! It's been a long time, probably about a decade. I was never a very active poster, but I hung out on the Arena every day for several years. I don't remember my old log-in and don't have access to my email from back then, so I had to make a new account.
I am 35, from the U.S. Played with G1 ponies as a child, when I was a teen I became interested in collecting them but was never really able to until G3s came out, then stopped for a while, until in my 20s G4 was released and I regained interest in ponies and was able to start collecting G1s like I'd always dreamed of. Then, at a low point in my life, I ended up selling off my entire collection (kept three favorites: a Magic Star I deflocked, my childhood Zig-Zag, and Baby Moondancer). I'm not torn up over it, but I wouldn't mind having some ponies in my life again.
Right now I am interested in the G1 reissues, and I am always hoping to come across some G3s or G4s at the thrift store. I have a one year old daughter now and I am really hoping to be able to share ponies with her! They've been such a huge part of my life.
