Title: Complete Collections
Post by: mopthebunny on February 14, 2015, 09:20:49 AM
I was just wondering to myself as a small-time collector, is there anyone on here who has a full collection of any given generation?

I think HoustonCollector72 has a full collection of loose G2's, but beyond that I haven't heard of anyone having a full colelction

Do you have a complete collection, [you]?

No, I do not have a full collection of G1's. There's still plenty on my wish list.

I don't. I don't ever wanna have a full collection either. Collecting gives me something to live for. When you bipolar.....well, that's a lot.

I've completed my G2s two years ago I think? Including the three major variants. Now I'm hunting accessories :) and the ponies and don't have MOC and only loose or the other way around. G2s are okay to collect only around 180 were released or so, but G1s... yikes :P

*raises hand*  I have a complete G2 collection. The only loose one is Diamond Glow (mint and complete, but off card). The rest are MOC.

I have an almost complete G1 US release collection.

I have a very nearly complete MIB G3 collection, the only one missing is diva pose Minty.

No ,not yet  :) ,I do not have them all, missing the Baby Twins Study and Play still :) , finding them will complete my collection as far as loose G2s
For Moc G2s I have around 23 items still missing !
 I hope someday I get them all :) but still  upgrading and collecting doubles that I find while hunting for them with small differences like colors on their accessories,or different packaging ( German,English,Spanish or French )  :).

here is my list of what I'm hunting for :)

I recently completed my U.S. G1 ponies, but not including petites or plushes. I would guess I am maybe at about 80% for G1 accessories, and that is my main focus now as well as being on the lookout for affordable MOC and Nirvana favorites. With ponies it seems like there is always more to collect!

I don't. I don't ever wanna have a full collection either. Collecting gives me something to live for. When you bipolar.....well, that's a lot.

Don't worry Dazzle... there's always upgrading your whole collection to minty ponies, collecting every comic issue, accessories, army of your faves, and then the massive job of displaying your collection, or learning to rehair and customise...  but I get you, it's really important to have a project in your life to always be working on :)



Don't know exactly how many US G1s I have, but I'd say about 80%.  I don't have many baby sea ponies, SHS ponies, BBEs or  loving family ponies.  They're the ones I'm not really into at the moment so I might never end up collecting them.  I have about half the petites, and a handful of mail orders, and of course a bunch of UKs, as lots were available here.

I'm nearing the end of G1 US store releases excluding Sea ponies. I originally didn't care much for the sea ponies but now I'm going to start collecting them once my store releases are finished.

I'm also seeing a light at the end of the G3 tunnel (most loose).

I'm caught up on my G4's and I'm past half way for my Brazilians.

I've mainly been focusing on my Brazilians and Greeks. Since those can be pricey its kind of slow going.

TinyShinyUnique  does have a  complete G2 collection :)
I have not seen her on here in a while though.
hope she is ok.

Post by: Sky_Rocket on February 15, 2015, 05:50:47 AM
I'm about three from finishing North American Releases (except Sea ponies - don't care for them).  Missing a Teeny Tiny, a Birthflower,  and I've forgotten the other.  Been so long since I've checked! 

Not aiming for a complete set of G2's only collecting what I liked back then.  I do have Study and Play MOC, and my grail is Click and Nosy MOC.  To the other G2 Collectors, how did you get Click and Nosy?? I've only seen them come up for sale a few times in the past.   And the sail boat twins, have they been removed from the box and played with?  That boat screams Play with me so load from behind the plastic, I can hear it and I don't even have one.

G3's Didn't even try to get them all.  Figure I'll need something to chase after in my old age. Which isn't to say I don't have any, I've got one of those massive rubber maid tubs full of MIB, and then bags of loose.  See at where the prices of them are at right now, I should start collecting!

G4's, not interested.  There's gotta be a line somewhere, and right now, that's mine. Anything this is "Super amazing awesome" I'll buy.

Gosh there are actually quite a lot of people with complete collections :) A lot of people have been collecting for a long time after all. I have heard of plenty of complete G1, G2 and G3 collections over the years.

I have a complete US G1 and Euro/UK G1 collection - actually almost complete with all accessories as well (just missing 3 accessories grrrrrrrr I shall find them one day)

Hi There, No unfortunately I still have plenty more to go (269) In the beginning I made myself a list of 683 ponies which includes The G1 US issues, G1 US mail orders and a select number of international issues (mainly the UK & Australia ones... also snuck the dutch ones in) I sort of hope I don't finish it for some time as it's quite fun trying to find ponies I don't have now :)

Luck I think? Local French auction sites have them occasionally. I was lucky enough to get them from a site like that, or ebay when the G2s weren't as popular as they are now.

My best French twins find was in a local goodwill store here o.O

My G1 collection isn't complete yet. I still have 19 more ponies to go and plenty of US mail orders. I don't define my collection as complete because I dont really collect seaponies. They are cute and all but not my style. I know I shall complete my collection someday.

I have several complete collections from various countries for G1:
US
UK
Holland/Dutch
India (all 6 of them)

I'm only missing 1 from Brazil. Depending how picky you are with variations, I may have a few other countries complete, as well.

All these complete or near complete collections are giving me some hope! :P I'll have to go through a checklist soon and see just how close I am. I know I have a way to go but I'm coming along all right. I just finished my BBE set with Baby Gusty and it always feels good to get a set completer.

  I saw a video of someone actually playing with the G2 boat in their tub :) LOL
so that has happened more often I bet :) , mine is in it's box ,it came out  so I could iron the box a bit ,but went back in :)

I found 1 of the twins on the facebook MLP pages and then I found the pair on an ebay auction ,I was very glad to won them :) and that they did not go over 90 dllrs :)

Well....I guess it depends on what you call complete?  For me, it includes the standard-size pony (regular and special releases), accessories, playsets, and any special ribbons and combs. I consider ponies like Dream Beauties, ponywear and giant So Soft babies as sub-collections and not really a part of my main complete collection.   I also probably don't have the common combs, brushes and ribbons for each pony but I do have the special ones like flutter ribbons and guitar brushes for the Rock n Beat ponies. 

If you're counting just the "playful" size ponies, I have:

G1's
Complete US & UK (unique ones) with accessories (not all brushes or ribbons unless they're special ribbons)
Complete US & UK (unique sets) playsets with accessories (may be missing a ribbon or two)
Complete unique ponies and most accessories from Germany, Sweden, Australia/Netherlands
Complete ponywear from US, UK, Germany, Greece (as far as I know...so many variations!), and mostly complete from Argentina, Spain. I also have outfits from Peru, Brazil and even a Takara outfit or two. 
Hasbro Softies plushes, including Honeycomb

G3-G3.5's
US & UK Complete -- collected them and their playsets as they came out.  Most of them loose. 
Also have all the ponyvilles and the mermaid ponies that came out with sets.

G4's
US & UK Mostly complete -- just missing recent ones that I'm tracking down. Most of them loose. 

I missed out  completely on the G2's. I never really liked the adults when I saw them in stores and I wasn't actively collecting at that time. It would probably drain my energy and bank account to start collecting them, so I just focus on the few things I need for my past collections and the current FiM stuff coming out  :)

My G1 US and UK collection is complete but I don't have any complete Nirvana sets and I don't count Dream Beauties or Petites.
I'm less than 10 away from a complete G2 collection.
I'm so close to a full G3 set but I'm missing a few G3.5s and the odd super exclusive pony.

Post by: wondermintUK on February 19, 2015, 03:35:42 PM
So close to completing several generations, but not actually completed any!  Still looking for approx 25 G1s US/UK (including mail orders, variants and Sleepy Newborns), 50 G2s MOC, 2 G3s (open mouth Hearts & Ribbons and Giant Project Pony), 50 G3.5s (nearly all adults), and a handful of G4s (trying to get them as they are released).  My US&UK ponywear is complete, G1 playsets are near complete, Dutch G1s are complete, but the rest of my Nirvanas are quite random!

It does give hope when I read of other people completing their collections :D
