Hello, I'm 22 and I'm a girl. I'm from Russia, please excuse me for my bad English. I've been collecting ponies since FiM show aired in 2010. The pilot series about Nightmare Moon made me fall in love with this show and I dragged my mom to the store to buy me all the ponies :P I was just 15-16 back than. Now I attend University and I have a job so I buy my own ponies. I was really sick during 2012-2015 and I couldn't buy many ponies, but I managed to buy most of the rare "pony with a pet" sets including international exclusives. I was shocked when I found out they were rare, because I live in a very poor family and my mom bought me only the cheapest ponies. Those "playful pony" sets were just around 5$! Even tho I was lucky to buy those I couldn't buy any expensive sets or USA exclusives. Right now I'm planning to collect at least one of every G4 pony and then buy variations of them (like with tinsel in hair, glittery symbol, other pose etc.). Also I want to start collecting G1 and G3 ponies. I have quite a few selling in my town and in my country in general so I would need help with prices and recognizing which pony it is once I get approved. Here's a part of my collection: http://sta.sh/025laiaqjzny (photobucket won't let me register for some reason, it has ads and it's really slow on my old laptop).

Welcome to the Arena, Shabi!
The reason those sets are so rare is mainly because Hasbro does not often produce toys that aren't the main characters from the show. Ponies that were packaged with playsets or were only sold internationally are rare as well because fewer people were able to purchase them and caused their value to rise. Enjoy the forums!

Thank you all so much for your kind words! And sorry for the slow reply. I've caught a terrible cold and can't get up from my bed, so I have to use my phone and it doesn't have autocorrect. I have to use a translator to find out if I remember how to spell. This forum is a great opportunity to practice my English ^.^
Griffin, I always have trouble translating the name of my profession because in Russian it's a slang word xD Well, "operator" sounds like it could be anything, so I guess the most correct term would be "communication engineer". But Russian education system is so bad I still have no idea what we're doing :huh: So my part time job is a maid. Only rich people can afford maids so it pays off.
