Title: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Sandi on July 01, 2012, 04:08:02 AM
I'm curious about this. I collect all the generations myself.

I collect 1,2,3 and 4 but mostly just G1 though I'm known to get any G3s I see at garage sales.

I collect 1,2,3 and 4. I am currently only buying gen1 and gen4 though, as for gen2 I only need 2 variations which are too expensive for me to spend so much money on and I'm happy with the gen3 I have :)

Oh, I do have one gen3.5 and one newborn cutie, just to have one of them in my collection, but I don't consider this actively collecting them :)

Well mostly it's gen 2, with the rest being only the ones that catch my eye :) so some gen 1, 3,5, 4 :) I only avoid gen 3 (have one and don't want more) :)

I collect 1, 2, 3 and 4. But unfortunatly, I don't collect G3.5 because I feel that I don't want to collect them yet.

G1s ...oh I have some of the other generations but would get rid of them if I wouldn't loose my shirt on them.

Post by: Skelletonimp on July 01, 2012, 04:41:32 AM
I mainly collect G1 en G2 but would also love to have all G4 but they are so expensive over here. I also collect some of the G3 (some of the food-themed ones)

Actively only G1 and G3. I do have a lot of G2s thought but it's mostly childhood and thrift stores. Not a fan of G4 by any means but I would probably keep them if I got my hands on some really cheap.

Actively collecting G1, G3, and G4.

I don't own any G2s but I'm interested in them. Though even if I did get a few I doubt I'd actively collect them. I have a couple G3.5s that I got in lots, but don't like them or collect them. Only ones I've ever considered are some of the Newborn Cuties since some molds are kind of cute.

actively 1, 3 and 4 but I have ponies from all the gens.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Desert Rose on July 01, 2012, 05:21:51 AM
My main focus always has been and always will be the G1's.

However, lately I've also focused quite abit on the G4's.

With that beeing said I do collect all generations in this order:

G1's
G3's
G4's
G3.5's
G2's

Never been too crazy about the G2's, but they are after all MLP's so I have a bunch of those aswell :P

I collect G1, G2, and G3.  I'm getting a little obsessed with even the common G2 right now...

I actively collect g3 and g4 and I pick up the occasional g1 baby. Mainly buying g4 right now.

Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: GazeboMouse on July 01, 2012, 06:23:06 AM
Only G1, I have one G3 (Butterscotch, although nothing like the REAL Butterscotch!) and G4 Applejack, but to me G1s are the only My Little Ponies!
It's an 80s thang...
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: BrightIdea on July 01, 2012, 06:41:34 AM
I collect G4s mostly, some specific G1s and a couple of G3 style fair ponies.

I really do want some G2's badly, but I have my heart set on one I haven't seen for sale yet anywhere. I am on the lookout!
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Shaiyeh on July 01, 2012, 06:48:47 AM
I used to collect all generations(except 3.5). Now, I have downsized my collection to just g1s (and I only have 6 to go until I am happy), 2 g2s (childhood) and 3 g3s (special ponies to me<3).

So, g1 gal here. ^^
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: OctoberFlash on July 01, 2012, 07:00:46 AM
I collect all generations, although I haven't been able to add any G2s to my collection yet. I think the majority of my collection will be G1s, though.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Englishgothgirl on July 01, 2012, 07:28:23 AM
I only collect G1 Ponies, but if I see merchandise like bags, clothes, stationary etc. I will buy that whatever the generation
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: UnicornTamer on July 01, 2012, 08:22:25 AM
I collect all little ponies, seeing how I love them all. I especially love the G1s, 2s and 3s.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: LeighAnnApanites on July 01, 2012, 08:26:45 AM
I collect mostly G1s. I do still like G3s, but I'm not actively looking for them. I'm still quite new at this, though, so ask me again in a year! Lol!
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: SwordPony on July 01, 2012, 08:31:36 AM
I collect G4's mostly. I will add a G1 and a G3 every now and then when I find them at a flea market.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Moss on July 01, 2012, 08:45:45 AM
At the moment I only have g4, but if I ever came across a pony from the other gens I'd get it in a heartbeat!
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?

I mainly collect G1, G3 and G4, but I do buy G2 sometimes too.

Post by: Ponypuffs on July 01, 2012, 09:14:19 AM
Not too many fans/collectors of G2's eh? I'm interested in G1-G3, not a fan of anything past that...

I strictly collect G1 :D
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: BrightSide on July 01, 2012, 09:17:41 AM
G1, G3 and G4 for me! My main focus at the moment is actually G1s, but they're not so easy to get hold of..
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: nessa16 on July 01, 2012, 09:20:01 AM
I collect G1, G2, G3 and G4.  I do have 3 G3.5s in my collection but have yet to decide to actively collect them.  I don't really like the regular core 7 G3.5 but the moms and babies are kind of cute.  G1 will always be my most important generation.  I want to add more to my G2 collection but they are so hard to find since I have most of the US ones I want.  I have very few G3s left on my list and I usually only get them at flea markets and thrift stores, etc.  Some of them that are left I will have to actively buy for online.  G4s I am keeping up on as the come out in stores.  So I guess you can say I actively collect everything besides G3.5s at this point but that may change the more I learn about them.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Moonracer on July 01, 2012, 09:28:12 AM
Currently it's Gen 1 and 2. I mostly concentrate on these two, because there aren't that easy to find and I always have to make sure that I have enough money to buy one, should one of them pop up on auction sites or ad sites. That, and both of these generations where part of my childhood, so you can say I get them because of the nostalgia.

I plan to collect G3s and G4s as well, but not now - there are currently TONS of G3s being sold so I'm not worrying about the fact that I'll never have a chance at grabbing any one of them, and G4s are a bit too expensive for me so I'm waiting 'till the price on them's gonna drop.

Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Rion on July 01, 2012, 09:29:09 AM
Only G4 for me.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Candy_Bang on July 01, 2012, 09:32:01 AM
G1s are my fav. I try to only buy certain kinds (boy, bride, sparkly, princess, unicorn, that sort of thing) but once I hold any 'not on my list' G1 in my hands she becomes part of my herd. At this moment the only G1 nirvanas I pay much attention to are unicorns, boys, or Brillitos.

I actively collect G3 too. Other than reposes I think I might like one of every G3 eventually, but I try to only buy romance or princess themed, or glittery. I'm a sucker for bright colours though.

I like G2 but don't actively pursue most of them. I have my main G2 grail but there's a few others I'd love. Again I try to go for male, romance, or glittery ponies but there are a few others I wouldn't say no to. I'll probably get Summer's G2 Guide so I can list for myself who I'm most interested in.

I'm not big on G4, but I have 2 ordinary ponies (one is my fav, Dewdrop Dazzle, and one was a gift) and my fav BlindBag (the black sparkle boy). I'd like to have the other sparkle boys plus Shining Armour, and maybe a Fluttershy if I could repaint her eyes to look less sad, but other than those I'm not too interested in actively collecting G4. I like receiving G4 gifts and merch from friends who aren't pony-savvy enough to hunt for G1s for me.

I just never got into 3.5 or ponyville. I don't like the proportions of them, poor things.

I only collect the G4 figurines

Examples:
blind bag
pony rainbow collection coming out
Cloudsdale set
etc
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: tehrin on July 01, 2012, 09:52:01 AM
Actively, G1 and G4. But I have others from all gens. If I find G3 and G3.5 at thrift stores, I'll buy them unless they're in bad condition. But sometimes I'll buy bad condition G3's as bait. :D
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: InkyMilk on July 01, 2012, 10:22:40 AM
Pretty much exclusively G4's. If I find another pony from another gen I'll usually pick it up for trades or for my cousin (who's 2 and just likes to "play ponies", she doesn't really care about particulars). I'll only keep a G1 if she's exceedingly pretty and snags at my heartstrings, which is difficult to do. The only G1's I'd like to actively seek out are the rest of the baby ballerinas. I'm trying to keep my collection somewhat small and cohesive, so I like sticking with the G4's, as their small size and overall aesthetic is extremely appealing to me.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Phekzhen on July 01, 2012, 10:36:15 AM
I actively collect G4, since they're the easest to get a hold of, and that's what my other friends collect. It's really fun going to the store and digging through the blind bag boxes together.

I go after G1s that are favorite characters from child hood, are in nice condition, and aren't too expensive.

I'd collect G2s, as they were my childhood ponies, but they're not really out there and are pretty expensive :(

Post by: GloriaFan on July 01, 2012, 10:48:09 AM
I mainly collect G1 and G4, but I buy my favorite G2s and G3s. I also have a G3.5 Scootaloo. She's my Changeling.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: scarletjul on July 01, 2012, 11:28:18 AM
G1, G3 and G4 actively (but I only buy g3s from thrift stores or trades.). I also have one g2 and I wouldn't mind a few more.  :)

I do own 2 g3.5s but they are exceptions and I don't consider myself a collector of them.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Gingerbread on July 01, 2012, 11:35:50 AM
All of them :blush: I have no willpower, although I won't be getting the re-releases of the G4 ponies unless they have physical differences.
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: saikune on July 01, 2012, 12:42:10 PM
I've been actively collecting 1, 3, and 4. I do want to find some G2 ponies though, and if a really cheap G3.5 came my way I'd probably take that, too. lol
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: RAMChYLD on July 01, 2012, 12:46:20 PM
Tales 7 through G4, skipping G3.5 somewhat (though there are exceptions- I do own a G3.5 animated storyteller Pinkie Pie and a vintage G1 musical box TV and I like it). I am cool with 3.5 tho.

All but 3.5 for me.  I like the art style, but not the toys.

Post by: Pinkie21 on July 01, 2012, 01:45:24 PM
I collect mostly G1, but also G3...and I am starting a collection of G2's.  I find myself buying G4 toys, but I'm really trying hard to stop collecting them (I mostly collect ponies that aren't in that show).
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: Cadence on July 01, 2012, 02:05:29 PM
I started out as a G3 collector because they were the only ones available to me. :P I do prefer G4s now though as they're soo cute! Love the G1s and finally got 2 of them recently. I like the G2 style. If I saw one at a garage sale or something I'd probably pick it up.

I collect anything and everything MLP from all gens. :) I don't often buy new from stores or off ebay, I just collect what I happen to find at thrift stores and yard sales. I keep anything I don't already have, upgrade if needed and the duplicates go into the someday I'll get around to trading again box.

Pretty much only G1...however I also collect the G3 art/comic con/fair ponies and I casually occasionally pick up any G4 which I find particularly cute
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: StarDragon on July 02, 2012, 01:15:13 PM
All except 3.5. I don't care for how they look, but if I ever get enough money to spend leisurely, I might invest in them simply for the sake of 'pony history.'
Title: Re: Which generations do you collect?
Post by: spiderwax on July 02, 2012, 01:29:23 PM
All except for 3.5. I don't like the toys much, because of the head, although I understand why other people like them. -u- They are cute. Honestly I don't think G4 counts, because I only customize them and only bought a G4 applejack so I could have g3+g4 apple jack (pondering buying g1 to complete the set).

Post by: ravengusty on July 03, 2012, 02:01:00 AM
G3s are top of my list because they are easy for me to find.
G4s come next because they are readily available atm.
Finally G1s, they are my childhood generation but most of the ones I want are hard to come by. I've only been collecting again for a month or two so I haven't bought any g1s yet but I'm working on it.
I'm sorry guys but I really don't like g2s, I think they're ugly, same goes for 3.5.
They will not cross the threshold of my house.
