Ha ha, now I'm thinking of this Agatha Christie book where a guy tells Hercule Poirot he's sure to get along with this Spanish lady because "they're both foreign." And he's like "Yeeeah, actually Spain is as foreign to me as it is to you. Because I'm from Belgium."I think it would be interesting to have a chart showing which sets were sold in which countries (if there isn't one already). Then there are the sets that were sold in the UK or wherever but they cut two ponies out of the set . . .
There are a few funky releases as well...like blue hearts Dazzleglow and purple haired Tuneful (I think that's her name) she had both a blue hair and a purple hair release...many people believe the purple is International, but i had a friend here in Canada who had one bought for her here. And some of the UK releases of ponies like B. Firefly and B. Surprise were identical except for the non-glitter symbols...we didn't get those at all here in canada.
I mean, I'm sure a couple hardcore collectors do, but I think most of us mentally organize them as "Years 1 through 10, and then all the International ponies."

There is a french website which has listed the set and/or ponies sold in France and the ones who weren't but sometimes a country as close as Belgium had different sets (such as the second set of princess we never got here in France).

This is an excellent discussion because for so many years this is how collectors thought. Before they were "international ponies," we just thought of them as UK, then European ponies... Then Brazilian and Argentinean ponies popped up and the way we organized MLP was turned upside down.I think we are lucky in that way, how we are constantly learning more about ponies released all over the world and we'll never know everything. It's exciting So how do we organize them now? I'm happy to continue organizing MLP as US and International ponies, because the US is Hasbro's home base and the majority of released ponies were US/CA releases, regardless of how many US collectors there are.

Awesome, thanks! >_> I see a few other pix in your photo bucket that aren't on the wiki either, can I add a few of those?

With google translate, I can (poorly) read anything!
