Aside from a few random thrift store finds and Christmas gifts, I sort of forgot about pony collecting last year :drunk:
But it's a new year! And I may or may not have already placed an order on eBay for a few new ponies to make their way home to me...
What about you!? I'd love to hear about your very first pony purchase for 2021!!

HQG1C Courage! :frolic:

I went ahead and treated myself to Basic Fun Seashell and Sparkler as my 30th birthday is sneaking ever closer; hopefully they'll arrive in time! :hope:

Porcelain figure AJ!

The Lite Brite Pony.

I'm not planning to buy any new ponies this year, but maybe I'll buy some vintage G1 merchandise.

You will love them!!!

I technically bought her last year, but Love letter arrived safely yesterday. She's adorable.
-
I think mine was a Cherry Sweet bait for a custom ;)
-
I won't be making any for a while I don't think...
Waiting to see about Brexit issues re transit before I worry about it.
Am keeping my eyes on Amazon for Posey and Lickety though.
-
The first thing I got this year was the Stranger Things Apple Jack. I was going through ebay just browsing and I saw it on there. I couldn't help myself. The packaging with Apple Jack upside down looked so interesting. The blue eyes were lovely. I just couldn't pass her up.
I cant wait for her to come in! :frolic:
-
I have yet to purchase my first pony, but I did just receive the Pony Wear outfits Parade Pizzazz and Pony Royal (both complete and in great shape) and I'm thrilled with both of them, especially Parade Pizzazz! It is even better than I hoped for!
-
I just ordered the Ghostbuster, Twister, and Lite Brite ponies from GameStop. :)
-
I just picked up Heartthrob for under $1. The seller had questionable feedback, but for the price, I chanced it anyway. I wasn't really looking to buy her, as I already have her SS version; my son just received the BF Heartthrob for Christmas and I typed her into a search because I wanted to compare the color of the new retro one versus a vintage HT, and there she was, for 75 cents and the auction was about to end. So she was a total impulse buy! She should show up today or tomorrow...crossing my fingers she's in decent shape.
-
I made my first eBay pony purchase in nearly a year on 1st January: a lot of bait ponies including SS Ribbon and Scrumptious. I love Scrumptious and am very excited about Ribbon who I purchased previously but she was sent without tracking and didn't arrive. You cannot send anything to S.A. without tracking sadly.
-
I bought the 35th anniversary limited edition Pretty Parlor online! and he only arrives on my 18th birthday! ;)
-
I found a Bowtie with a complete great skates outfit at a thrift store for £1.50 before lockdown happened 😅
-
Cutie mark crew Maud Pie. She's so cute!
-
The Hallmark Applejack keepsake ornament. Does that count?
-
None yet, but I received the DnD ponies as a gift!
I adore them!
I think my first purchase for myself may be the Lite Brite pony, sometime soon. :)
-
I just bought not only my first ponies of 2021, but also my first ponies for my collection other than childhood ones!
It was a listing of three G4 ponies, a 2016 Mcdonalds Buttonbelle, an early G4 Lily Blossom, and a movie reboot Lyra! They all look a little worn, but I bought them because they were super cheap and I don't want to invest in super rare or mint condition ponies until I've gotten good at working with the ponies I already have.
I also just bought a separate listing of a G3 Crystal Lace!
-
Waiting for BF Lickety/Posey to hit! Wanna pick some up for my niece - I'm starting a little BF collection for her :)
-
None yet, but I've sat down and made a wishlist/focus list (basically what sets I want to focus on) for this year and am planning on treating myself for my birthday in march, if not before that :)
-
G2 Pretty Parlour complete.
Elf
-
I bought a G3 Garden Wishes off of ebay. She was a very important childhood pony, but unfortunately I can't find her anymore. I'm so excited to have her back in my collection though!
-
I guess technically my first purchase was a bag of the Valentines G3.5 ponies I got from the thrift store!
-
Smashin Fashion Pinkie and DJ! Pinkie is much cuter so here she is:

Haven't bought any ponies yet. Not sure if I will this year or not but we'll see what the year brings^^ 2020 was the first year I hadn't bought any in a long time.
-
I haven't bought a pony yet, but I did get a 1990 Activity Club badge on eBay :) Now I can pretend I belonged to the Activity Club! Even though it was before I was born :lol:

The badges are among the easiest Club merchandise to find tbh. The paperwork is a pain to locate & rarely turns up, so I generally nab it when it does. Other club merch, besides the Newborn Ponies, includes posters, a pencil case, a purse, some bahs & some other assorted bits & bobs. I'd have to look up to remember everything which came with every club pack but the info is somewhere (Taffeta maybe knows more???)
-
The Perm Shoppe! <3 It's the last of the US full size playsets that I'm interested in (Skipping the Dream Castle reissue and Megan's Place for now). I decided to treat myself since my birthday is coming up. It has all the furniture and I'm looking forward to posing some ponies inside with some cute accessories.
-
My first arrival is a G3 pre-production/prototype (there's a specific word for what I bought, but I can't think of it right now). I bought it in December, though. My first purchase hasn't arrived yet - G3 SLH Royal Beauty.
-
Gypsy! I like her in the comics!

I think it's possible you have more complete club material than I do. I only have stuff from my own childhood and a handful of bits I picked up along the way since. The last year I was a member was the white club newborn.
I do have the magic message pens, or some of them. I remember the pencil case came two years in a row. There are some bags - different kinds of bags, with a drawstring or with a handle. There's a wall frieze. I had mine on the wall for a long time so it's a bit battered but I do still have that...as well as the newsletters and competitions and such within those. Oh, I also have a drinks mat with Princess Sapphire on it (I think Sapphire)? That was also from the club. As well as an array of badges.
I guess looking at the leaflets would probably give some more clues about the contents.
I think Chrissytree probably knows more than I do as well. I would love to have a more complete picture of the club stuff here, but I'm frankly rather surprised I managed to even keep mine (in their original pony-patterned envelope,addressed to our old address xD) considering all the other things I lost.
(I may need to talk to you at some point about what you have, actually, if I ever get time to work on my website revamp. That's something for a future time.)
-
I'll have to make notes on everything myself Taff. I was in 1987, 1989 & 1990 MLP Clubs myself, but as most people know I lost all my Pony stuff when I lost most of everything else xxx
I know I picked up a good lot from Gaspode, so they may be worth a talk to as well about Club bits.
At least because of my comic collection rebuilding I have several adverts for each year of the Club. I'll be sure to send you scans if need be
-
I technically bought it in December, but paid for shipping in January and just got it on Monday-- > A cute little postcard from Japan. :D
I don't expect to buy any ponies, but, we'll see... I'm more likely to buy cute merch at this point in my life, I think.
-
I haven't bought ponies either but my first pony of 2021 is G1 Heart Throb.
