Title: You know you are a hopeless my little pony collector when...
Post by: Taffeta on July 04, 2015, 01:29:53 PM
...you find a bag of baby pony stacking toys nestled in the corner of your sock drawer.

I have no idea how they got there, or why. xD.

Anyone else found pony accessories (any generation) in random places in your house? I dug out a princess comb from the bottom of my wardrobe yesterday, too, but I think the stacking toys win...

I find G3 brushes everywhere. Purses, undie drawers, sock drawers, laundry baskets, even found one on the floor of my car. No idea how that one got there. It must have fell off a shelf and into my purse.

Heehee :D I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

My mother actually gave me the advice of putting a bag on my desk to put any stray accessories I found in. It began because I was sorting boxes from the attic into which tiny bits and combs and ribbons had got stuck, but now I seriously have three bags of accessories on the unit, including a pick for Tabby (who I don't even have, so that must be my sister's) and three separate birthday party sets (one Euro, one Uk, one US). The thing with the stacky toys is that I am pretty sure I sorted my stacking toys already. So where did these come from??? ><

When my pony collection and I lived at my parents house, accessories would be in my bathroom drawers, my parents linen closet, and in the kitchen cabinets. I don't know how they all would get there. To this day, I still find accessories I knew I once had. I found the princess buggy wheels in their garage last week! Every week, when I go back over to visit, I look in all nooks and crannies for the off chance I will find ponies or accessories. I usually return home with at least one more pony hair brush.

That would be the day! They only seem to go up to Large here, which doesn't fit. They do have little girls' dresses in X-Large, and once I actually tried to fit into a Twilight one hoping to use it as a big shirt. I failed. **headdesk.**

I've done that a number of times, they're like an alternate unit of currency now.

How about going through the toy aisles every trip to the store to check for new ponies? Or whenever you're traveling going to stores to see if they have ponies that aren't out in your area? Or when you look at a common household object and wonder if they make one with ponies on it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like this!  I'm always wanting pony shirts from the little girl's section, they're just so darn cute, much cuter than most pony shirts aimed at older people!  I'm also a big user of APC (Alternate Pony Currency), its such a handy unit of monetary value that I use it without thinking.  And yes, I often wonder if I could get various inane objects with ponies on them instead.  You guys are my people.

lol, I'm the exact opposite when it comes to accessories.  I cannot stand them and offload them at the first chance I get.  I'm a terrible person and with G3+, I literally toss the brushes out.  I had a niece come over for Thanksgiving and she was playing with my baits an asked for a brush and I handed her the comb I use for restorations and she and her mom both looked at me like I was crazy.  My SiL said "Out of ALL of the ponies you have, you don't have one of their brushes?" and I had to laugh and tell her nope :)

Yet I am still ebaying for accessories because I don't have them all!

Which is why my pantry is all canned veggies, mac n cheese, rice, and those cheap 25cent cup ramen! xD The other day I was having an estrogen rush and wanted to cave and buy ice cream, donuts, french fries, cereal, and the expensive pasta sauce but I was like "hmmmmm this is the same amount of that Build a Bear pony im missing! " I recently paid rent and all I can think about is how many $50 glitter Funko variant ponies I could buy with that monies... @-@ but....I gotta have someplace to live to put the ponies on my shelf! xD Life is so hard as a pony collector.

Likewise! Complicating my sorting is my sister's unhelpful memory of what playsets she had. Conversation goes kinda like this:
Me: Naynie, do you have a Show Stable?
Naynie: Dunno. Maybe?
Me: ...

Years ago, when we used to go to carboot sales people would often not sell ponies separate from buildings so at one point we had about eight Show Stables. We still seem to have three, and one I know is mine from childhood that I had second hand. I've sorted out a complete set of accessories for it except the yellow brush which I know is somewhere but don't know where. The problem is working out which of the three is actually my stable...and whether one of the others belongs to my sister or whether we have two to take to carboot ><.
