Oh yes, Dutch water is delicious. It's basically the same as bottled (in my area, our tap water comes from the exact same source as a famous brand of bottled water). It's always a shock when I come to places where you can't drink the water and/or it's gross. So weird to me!

Whirly! She's the last Windy Wing I need and I love completing sets  Other than that, a Moondancer upgrade. As always  I've never found the perfect one, but I will keep trying.

In G3, Pinkie Pie is called 'Lekkerbekje' in Dutch, which is a word for a person who enjoys food a lot but, it's also a common word for fried fish... so it's a little weird

That's right, they are all awful 'Meezing' is probably hard to pronounce as well for non-Dutchies- 'mee' should be pronounced as the name 'May' and then 'zing' as in 'bazinga'

I am sure Meezing doesn't literally mean 'sing a long'.
Actually it does.
Really? Ok. In that case, the fail is in the Dutch naming sense then xD. I dunno how silly it sounds in Dutch in context, but it sounds really silly in English with the hyphenation.
Yep, it does. And it sounds really stupid in Dutch, too, because "meezing" is a verb stem so it doesn't make a lick of sense as a proper name. That's why she is 'meezing-pony' I guess, which is more descriptive than it is a name. Well, Dutch names for ponies have always been terrible, we're better off just copying the English names Edited to add: to clear up a little further, 'zingen' is the Dutch verb meaning 'sing'. 'Mee' is a preposition, in this case changing the meaning to 'singing along'. And because Dutch is the way it is, words are just added together without any hyphens or anything

I have no issues with leaving a G1 pony behind at a flea market... in fact, I leave most of them. I leave all other gens...
I find that hard! If they are very baity and expensive I'm like, eh, I can deal with it, but otherwise I feel kind of compelled to bring them. All other gens, not bothered if I leave them. I actually wish it was easier for me to leave them, so I kind of admire you! On the topic of foreign names- I really really dislike the Dutch names. Not for the 1995 so much, but the translated names... they SUCK. The Dutch comics switched halfway through their run from having the English to the Dutch names and it was so hard for me to get used to it. Basically, Dutch has a suffix that means "little, small" (-je) and they just put that after a noun to make pony names. Lemon Drop is "little lemon", Peachy is "little peach", Bow Tie is "little bow" Applejack is "little apple" and I could go on and on. It's so uncreative and stupid, and doesnt sound cute at all. In German 'Zitronchen' is pretty much the same I suppose but it sounds cuter. Such a petpeeve for me!

Hi Safflower! Nice to meet some new people on here I recently got 35th anniversary Parasol, she's so cute! I had her as a kid so it's lovely to have her mint in package now. Don't know about the smell but it's OK Hi Noasar! Probably  I will have a stall with Moonbreeze and I will give a lecture on the place of the My Little Pony Movie in literary history there, should it be interesting to you!

My Cherry Treats is pretty discoloured (cream to beige) and she was made in China, no forelock. I hope this doesn't immediately disprove your theory I got her from a friend who had her as a childhood pony, presumably bought in the Netherlands.

Same! I think the pose is cute, but I just can't get into the actual sets. Probably because I HC some of them as boys anyway.
Me too, I didn't need boys because the girls coped perfectly on their own and some of them I regarded as boys (c'mon, AppleJACK). I did (and do) love the comics so from that perspective I like the Mountain Boys a lot better than the Big Brothers because they were often in those stories and I enjoyed some of their personalities.

I've enjoyed reading this thread so much I have to add something! Welllll, I don't like boy ponies. Big Brothers, Mountain Boys, they do nothing for me. Just have no interest at all in collecting them- I've had some over the years and always sold them in the end. I only have the family daddies at the moment (they were childhood ponies) but that's it, I don't need to have them. Which I guess is odd but good news for the rest of you who love them

Hey all, I am not new... but I haven't been on here in a GOOD while, so I thought I'd introduce myself again for everyone on here that got active in the time I was inactive, if that makes sense My name is Daphne, I'm from the Netherlands and I work as a project manager. I started collecting MLP ten years ago and at the same time attended UK Ponycon for the first time. Over the years, I've met many people through pony collecting that I consider close and dear friends. I haven't been actively collecting for a few years now, instead spending my money on travelling and tattoos, but I still love the ponies and have stayed in touch through my 'pony'-friends. I'm attending Ponycon again in October and figured it would be nice to get a little more in the loop about what's going on in the community. Any questions, I'd be happy to answer! Nice to see this forum still going strong

I have it, and would be willing to part with it! However I'm in Europe so shipping might be high. Message me if you're interested though and we can try to figure it out!
