I had the same revelation yesterday.  I realized I was about to spend $10 on a single pony that I didn't even like, just to complete a set.  "Wait, how many sets of the main six do I have now?"  Dismayed, I put it down and walked out of the store.  I work hard for my money and I'm no longer going to waste it on G4 ponies I already have 6+ of that are almost identical.

A few weeks ago I decided to not collect more than a single version of each character in the Fashion Style size because of how expensive they are.  Then I was considering whether or not to collect all the new "taller brushables".  I'm glad Hasbro released this ugly Rainbow line to make me realize how pointless these repeats are to both my collection and my wallet.  I still love the G4, but from now on I will only collect the UNIQUE brushables and special ponies (glimmer wing, glow-in-the-dark, etc.)...

  for the fellow unenthused collectors.

One of the main reasons why we keep seeing the same ponies is because they are the stars of the TV show.  Although Hasbro has finally branched out and included some side characters (though most are not brushables), we aren't seeing enough newcomers on the show to warrant a full wave of different ponies.  If they would just introduce more ponies like they did on the show in the 80s it would be great.  New groups of pegs, unicorns, etc. coming to town... sigh.

Thank you, everyone! I will display them with the others when they are dry.

My childhood best friend gave me her ponies!  However, the basement that they were stored in had flooded.  When I got them I gave them a light sponge bath in hot soapy water, but they still smell awful.  Just imagine mildew, dirt, and general ick.

If you have any advice to offer with smell, grime, etc. I'd be greatly appreciative.

**When using a magic eraser on these do I need to be careful of not spreading "stuff" from one pony to another?

**What do you guys use to clean the insides of all their legs?  I haven't found anything that worked well.

Thank you!!!

I just called my Costco.  You can't even buy a cash card (gift card) for someone without a membership!  I absolutely hate members-only stores like this.  It's like offering someone your money and them saying, "No, thanks."  Okay...?!?

Does anyone have a solution to this or a get-around?  I don't know a single member and I am not interested in becoming one...
