Feels like I just purchased these girls new... not sure if I need to do so again...This. Just... this. How can a toy I liked as a tween already be “retro”!? I’m only 27! Is G3 really old? AM I OLD!? I’m both horrified and extremely sad. How do you think I feel? I collected G3's as an adult and now... I'm still an adult but they are retro!?

I wouldn't be surprised if those ARE photos of the original G3s. It's happened before. (Anyone remember the Running Press Firefly debacle? You know, how the original stock photos had a G1 Firefly photoshopped into them instead of the actual mini-Firefly toy?)Heck, I also wouldn't be surprised if it turns out those are the photos they used the for the original releases...! It'd explain the lack of in-package photos, too. I hope they go up for sale soon so we can see what's going on here.
Retro simply means emulating or going back to an older style. So no, they're not that old.

I think it literally means 'backward' xD as in "out of date and no longer valid" as well as 'past'. But you know, past is a relative term...I think retro is overused as a term, personally.

I mean 5 minutes ago was the past. Anywho, G3 isn't even 20 yet.Plus if you guys think your old at 20- 30 something, well I'm not sure what you'll be like once you hit your 50s. Ahahaha.

I feel like maybe we should all just make our reservations at a retirement home. Then we can hang out with the other senior citizens... playin’ bingo, watching reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show, and chatting about those old G3 ponies we remember getting “back in the day”.After that, we can complain about the kids of today and their newfangled G5s: “When *I* was their age, we didn’t have any AR apps to go with our My Little Ponies! All we had were mail-in horseshoe points... and we LIKED IT! ”

To be fair, with "retro" I just put that word into the thread title to compare them to Basic Fun's G1 ponies since they're both recreations of past gen ponies. These Target listings don't say retro anywhere. That's why I put it in quotes.
