It's been years since I've had any really good luck finding ponies in the wild, or even online for good prices! I've mostly been buying the G1 re releases and not much else. But finally it seems I've been having luck all at once! There are some belated Christmas brags in here too, but lets just say this winter has been overall a good pony season!
Group shot of everyone:

I work graveyards so I really don't see the sun much!
First here are all the ponies I got for Christmas!

I also got some Dollymix ponies and Cutie Mark Crew ponies!
Next, isn't necessarily good luck I suppose, but I'm still excited about them! I found BAB Cheerilee and they happened to be having a sale where it was buy one get one for $10. So of course I had to get the little valentines day unicorn!

Also, not exactly crazy luck or anything, but I found the new Luna brushable that's actually blue! She's actually really stunning in person, I think this is the first G4 purchase I've been impressed by in years!

I kind of wanted this one at the time but couldn't justify spending the money! The Twilight Sparkle is kind of cute too, her hair needs a lot of work but I think I can make her pretty again! I like her different eye shape on this toy!
And I saved the best for last, I finally have an Aikarin custom in my herd! I don't even remember how I stumbled across her customs page but Aikarin was really my first glimpse into the pony collecting world at the time! I was barley even a teenager at the time, so being able to see my toys turned into works of art really introduced me to the idea that, hey, I don't
have to outgrow my ponies! I was obsessed, I was determined I would own one of her customs one day! Well, nearly 12 years later, that day has come!
Please help me welcome Florabella!

Here's a better view of her hair:

Obviously she didn't win, but I have kept her as my way to represent myself in the pony community for years now! Shes grown and changed with me quite a bit over the years of course, but I still love her design and I really feel I grew into it more with age. Sedona Dreams was obviously overjoyed to meet her new friend too
