Title: MLP check list
Post by: ember86 on December 27, 2012, 06:15:26 PM
So with the new year coming I plan to re-organize my G1 collection and at the same time make a check list of who I have, I'm going to keep on the computer for easy access , but I'm wondering if it should be alphabetized or by year.

What do you think?

I am making a g3 checklist/price guide...at first I started by alphabetical, then thought maybe year...but ultimately I decided to go by color that was listed alphabetically. I figured that if i couldn't think of the name of te pony, but knew her color it would make it easier to find... :biggrin:

As for me I keep track with the guidebooks that helps a lot , every time I have a new us pony I check them off the list.

I should do a check list too, but a little bit lazy to do it. ;)  :silly:

I do mine by year and sets. To me that is the simplest way to see what was released and when.

I get so confused when it's organized by colour or name XD

*grins* if you are going to do it on a computer, you could do it in a spreadsheet with color, year, pose, name, and condition, then you can sort by any column you want, depending on what you are looking for. :)(a G1 bait in Glory's pose, or yellow newborns, or whatever)

Perhaps create a Ponydex account? I like mine very much, and it allows you to put comments and pictures as well. You can make note of where you got the pony and when and always have a good reference picture at hand.

I'd say alphabetically.

If you're goal is to remember Who it is you have, that'll be an easy solution. You can always add in cross-referencing to years and sets later.

Ponydex is great!

Personally I have always gone by year and by set when sorting lists - mainly as it keeps all the ponies which were out together at the same time together in a list as well as makes it relatively easy to find things as most pony websites and information sources go by year.

Good luck getting yourself organised - I wish I had done that before I reached the stage of forgetting which ponies I had lol!

I list mine alphabetically because I can never remember what year they are from.
