Which was your first complete set?

[kingluke]

Hello everyone,

I was leafing through my g1 unofficial collector's inventory and (according to my notes) my first completed g1 set was the second taf set. In the beginning if my collecting, before I was into g1's, I collected all the wave 9 g4 mlp figures.

This got me thinking, which was your first completed set? Why that set in particular? I would love to hear your stories. All generations are welcome

The Rainbow Curl ponies

Raincurl is my favorite pony, and I have her from childhood. I found the others, one at a time, in TLC condition and rehaired them all. I had a rehaired Raincurl too. So they are my Rehaired Rainbow Curls

Hmmm! Good question! I’m such a cherry picker when it comes to collecting, I don’t think I’ve EVER completed a set of anything, whether it comes to ponies, Monster High, or candles (unless it was sold in a set, and even then, I have no qualms about splitting ‘em up).

Me too.  I think the closest I've come is Basic Fun ponies.  If I have a favorite, it tends to be the only one I want.  And if I don't have a favorite the indecision makes me run away.

I think it was the year five TAFs, but I'm not positive.

I think it was the first set of princess ponies.  Serena/Aquamarine was a childhood pony.  I bought Tiffiany/Pearl and the rest of the set were gifts.

Oh my!  That was so long ago.  I can’t remember, but would assume it would have been the early year more common ponies 😆😆😆

I don't think I had ANY complete sets in my younger years, unless maybe the Tootsie & Lickety Split set (I THINK I had all six of those???)

Sundae Best! They're such a cute set. I don't have the complete set anymore, though.

I don't actually remember. Either the Sunshine ponies, the Tales ponies, the Merry Go Rounds or the Brush 'n Grow Ponies. Those were the sets I aimed for. But it's been like 15 to 20 years since then .

The G4 Wave 1 mane 6 singles. I just decided one day that I wanted to get them after seeing them online and remember walking to the store close to me to see if they had them and they did. I remember there was only one Rainbow Dash.
As for my childhood G1s, I only had like 8 ponies total and they were all from different sets except I had 2 Sweetberry ponies. Those were the only ones I wanted a full set of. I kept one of their backyards for quite some time dreaming of them.

  Maybe it was the Romance Ponies or Tropical Ponies set. Both sets are complete.

The Paradise Baby Ponies was my first complete set.

To be fair completing sets isn't something I really try to do. Like brightberry typically there's one pony in a set that will catch my eye and the others tend to get ignored / overlooked most of the time.

Mine was the Sundae best ponies. Simply because I had the entire set as a kid
As a collector I actually don't remember which set I completed first

Probably the G1 Baby Ponies. I don't remember for sure but i remember having all of them fairly early in my collecting days.
