Pony Corral / Re: Favorite G1 Large Playset
« on: November 13, 2017, 11:09:43 AM »
I think the Show Stable (2nd edition) for me! I remember being so excited knowing I was getting one for Christmas, and it's a playset I have lots of childhood memories of  ^.^

I used to have her, but then I sold most of my G2s... definitely a regret!

My dream is to get some of my childhood ponies MOC- TAF Sweet Tooth for instance was always Party Pony Loliipop to me, & I'd love to get her on a UK backcard with that name <3

I have her walking & shy pose versions, plus the NC version too I think... Shy pose is my favourite though!

I remember a friend of mine having Applejack & I was rather jealous! I also kept seeing Firefly & Medley in the UK comics & wondering why I could never find one...

One of my favourite childhood ponies! I remember being given the Grooming Parlour when I was hospital, I think I was 4 years old... I still have my childhood Kisscurl, along with the pink bows/green hair variant & another gorgeous girl who's MIP!

I didn't realise how many versions of Buttons I have! NSS Buttons was one of my first ponies for my 3rd birthday (27 years ago next week!), plus I have the SS, TAF, baby & Argie versions. Phew, what a lot of Buttons!

Just checked on mine- three are slightly sticky & one is fine so far. All four were bought new & have been kept in the same conditions as the rest of my ponies. My pony room has the radiator switched off & the curtains drawn, so it's always cool. No danger of overheating here in the UK!  :lol:

Pony Corral / Re: All the G3 Love
« on: March 21, 2014, 12:05:26 PM »
I love G3s, mainly because I have so many great collecting memories! G1 was my first love, but G3 fuelled my crazy collecting years  :satisfied:

I was working at a toy store back when G3s were first announced, & was lucky enough to go to the UK trade fair in 2003 & got to see all the prototypes. This was before anyone had seen anything of the new toys, so it was pretty exciting stuff- if only I could have taken photos!

I met so many fantastic collectors through G3... I lost count of the number of Winter Snows I traded for US ponies! I even managed to discover someone living 30 mins away from me through stalking my local TRU- someone who is now a very good friend in real life :) But so many good memories! The excitement of nearly always having a pony parcel in the post & the amazing deals I found, like Caribbean Delight & Beach Belle for retail on eBay. The mad dash to TRU or Woolworths to grab new ponies or going to Asda every night for a week because I knew they were restocking!

Impossible to pick a favourite, I'll have to come back to you on that one  :lol:
