I love G3s, mainly because I have so many great collecting memories! G1 was my first love, but G3 fuelled my crazy collecting years
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
