I'm a set completer when it comes to G1. I don't have the same impulse for any of the other generations though. I think it's because I grew up with G1, and as a kid I wanted a lot of ponies I never even saw in stores, so when I got to collecting, I wanted to grab everything I found. And when I started collecting, it was like 1995, so there were lots of cheap ponies on second hand sales that I could get...
Although some sets my sister and I have completed between us, and I won't ever fill the gaps in my own personal collection because I don't feel like I need to have those ponies if she does. Just some of them I go after on my own as well.

I’m a little sad that it took me so long to get back to my ponies... but I guess I just needed the time to find my inner child again.

Just some of them I go after on my own as well. Your sister collects too? I always thought it was nice to be able to share my hobby, and my stories and memories, with my sister. I don’ feel the need to collect ponies from her collection either. But if I ever do come across PnC baby Gusty- I will keep her regardless My sister doesn’t actively collect anymore though, but I do still share with her - it’s still nice:)
I think the only set I want to complete (with all ponies actually being mine ) is the early Baby Pony set from Germany w/baby Buttons etc. I do spot some of them in your picture as well, they are really adorable - all of them I love your collection by the way- so many of those ponies I love as well!
I'm not a completionist but I do like to have complete sets for a lot of them. Let me think of what I have complete, I have the Rainbow Ponies, the first set of adults, first set of babies, first set of Flutter Ponies, first set of Princesses, first set of Twice as Fancy, I have all the US releases of newborns including mail orders so all those are complete, Tropical Ponies, Rainbow Curl Ponies, Baby Sparkle Ponies, UK PnC baby ponies, German baby ponies, first set of UK adults, bedtime newborns, best friends baby ponies and I think that's it. Phew! I had to pull out the checklist to look those up. One day I'll get photos, I'm still working on organizing my pony room. Some sets that I'm close to completing and are priorities are 2nd set Princesses, Twinkle Eyes, So Softs and Sparkle ponies. They're each 1 or 2 ponies away from completion. After that, I'm pretty much picking up what I find in thrift stores or looking for good deals. I have some other sets I'd like to eventually complete but I think I have all the most wanted ones already.
