people who grew up with g3?

[MoonStars]

Me too, and I have almost all of them, except for Citrus Sweetheart. She was one of my favourites, but I lost her when I moved in 2009. Can you believe I have only lost one pony in my entire life and she turned out to be hard to find?

Literally....

I was 7 in 2003 when g3 started! My parents had taken me to toys r us to pick something out as a gift for getting a good report card andi walked past the ponies and was just in love! There was some wild "buy a playset get a single pony 50% off" deal to promote the new line so my dad insisted on buying me both Razzaroo and Moondancer and then I ended up choosing Sunny Daze and Rainbow Dash as well. I also still remember my mum trying to get me to pick Sparkleworks (I got her the next time around :9)

I still have my whole childhood collection too! An unfortunate incident caused 4 or so to need replacement but we're all back up to speed here. I collected somewhere in the range of 125 full sized ponies between 2003 and... I think my last childhood ponies were found at an anime convention when I was 17?  Lol

Technically G2 was my first gen, I had some of them as a young child.

I was around 10 when G3 came out and started getting really into MLP at that time. My mom and friends thought I was too old for My Little Ponies, and I did too at first- I only got a few because I wanted to compare them to G2. Then I found out how much I loved them!

I was born in '92, so I was 11 the year g3 launched, so I guess I *kind of* grew up in the g3 era, but I didn't have any g3 ponies, and by the time I was 11 my original ponies (g1/g2 mixed ) were already in a box in the attic. I did start collecting at 14 tho, in 2006, and quickly got into g3s.

I would've been nine at the time so absolutely.  I had a handful of G1s that belonged to my sister and a bunch of fakies and when I first saw the commercials for G3 I thought they looked so weird. It wasn't until my sister TwistedRiver brought me home Minty that I fell in love. I watched the Charming Birthday VHS she came with twice and the next day I got... Sparkleworks!  Not sure why but it seems like a lot of people got Sparkleworks first so it cracks me up that she was also one of my first G3 ponies.
I think Wysteria came third... Sweetberry and Kimono also came early on but I don't know which one I got first. I probably got Sunny Daze around then too.

Kimono was the pony I always wanted but never got for some reason. I think we just never found her in shops. I had Sunny Daze and most of the ponies from A Charming Birthday, which was the only G3 cartoon I ever watched.

[Hannah66665]

I think I've seen every G3 cartoon except for Runaway Rainbow and those weird G3.5 ones? I can remember when I first got Star Catcher and the VHS for Dancing in the Clouds it sucked because we were out of state and the hotel didn't have a VCR.

[HelloGoodbye]

I feel like I'm the only one here who has never owned a Sparkleworks hahaha 

Perhaps I should go about changing that 

[01mlplover]

I was actually a teen when G3 came out but that didn't stop me from buying them when I could I remember going to alco and seeing a display of ponies on an end cap and I'm like no way! They brought my little pony back! I asked my grandpa if I could get one and I picked out kimono for my first G3 pony.

I didn't grow up with it, but my first G3s were a four pack and yes, that included Sparkleworks.

[LadyMoondancer]

I didn't grow up with G3 (I grew up with G1), but I love this topic!  I'd love to hear more about which ponies people had, the ones they wanted, the personalities they came up with, etc.

[lostpony]

I recently got a couple Sparkleworkses and didn't know her name until this thread...
