Hello everyone! :)

Here's a newbie, who, after checking the Arena for quite some time finally decided to register as well. Now it's time to introduce myself  :blush:
I am a 27-year-old 'girl' from Hungary, right now I am an university student (earth sciences/geology) - due to finish this June. My interests are music, nature, plants and animals (succulents when it comes to houseplants), literature, languages, paleontology, art & crafts, manga & anime, Furbies and Tamagotchis - not necessarily in this order :)

My Little Ponies were basically always part of my life (being an 1980s girl we're almost of the same age :P ). I was a huge pony fan already back in nursery days and loved to get one from time to time, but, as they were rather expensive compared to our wallets' content it was a rare happy occasion to get (or later, when I had the money of my own, to be able to buy) an original MLP. I continued buying ponies up to this day, but I don't consider myself a collector - it's just that if I find one (used, on local auction sites or second hand/charity shops) for a reasonable price I love to buy them :) I only collect G1 and G2 ponies (although I do have 2 G3s too), those are the ones I grew up with, and my eyes simply like the looks of them more :)

Welcome Loona :wave:

I really like your avatar pic.  I never had many ponies growing up either because they were quite expensive back in the day.  Two a year was about my limit (one for birthday and one for Christmas), but I loved those ponies to pieces and looked after them really well.  I am sure you will have fun here and fit right into the pony community :frolic:

Welcome. I had just a few in the 80s too. I hope to find them again one day in my parent's house!

thank you ^^ she's my favourite right now, and also one of my most recent brags. I planned to make a brag topic about her (and some other new family members ^^ ), maybe I'll do it later and I will upload some better/bigger pics of her :)
same as here, usually I also got 2 ponies per year (or less, because ponies weren't my only obsession. I forgot to mention in my introduction that I also collect frogs - right from the start. I have some 500+ frog-related things  :lol: ), and not even always originals, so the herd grew slowly. but at least it made every pony even more special ^^ one of my favourites was Hair-Do Bangles (hehe, I already had an obsession for purple at the age of 8. 20 years later it's still my favourite colour besides black), and my all-time wishes included "ponies that have hairy legs", but I never got one until last year. well, at least the waiting made me even more happy ^^

Welcome. I had just a few in the 80s too. I hope to find them again one day in my parent's house!
mine are also at my father's house, and I also know which box to search for. the reason why I have them there is that right now I live in a flat I rent together with my boyfriend, so when I moved out we decided I should only take things that are absolutely necessary (luckily my father lives in the same city, so if I need something from the house ASAP it's not too difficult to get it - well, let's say it shouldn't be difficult :D ), because we never know when we will have to move again, and moving frequently with lots of stuff is just a pain. however, I really wanted to locate that box and take it with me for quite some months now, I do remember most of my ponies but I'm sure I will find some "surprises", and I would like to make a list of what I have, but recently I am just really busy (mainly because of writing my thesis and preparing for my final exams in June), so I never had the time to start searching for the box when I visited him.
