Hey all!
I was just remembering having the G2 magazine when I was growing up (the UK one), and I was wondering if anyone rememebers this, and especially if anyone remembers when it ran til?
-
If you're talking about the UK G2 comics by Redan, they ran for 14 4-weekly issues. Based on the content in the comics, they appear to have run from April 1999 until April 2000 inclusive.
If you're interested, LadyMoondancer uploaded the first two issues to Heck Yeah, Pony Scans! here (https://heckyeahponyscans.tumblr.com/tagged/issue%20G2%20My%20Little%20Pony%201/chrono) and here (https://heckyeahponyscans.tumblr.com/tagged/issue%20G2%20My%20Little%20Pony%20UK%202/chrono), while Moonbreeze has uploaded some of the stories to the Lavender Lagoon here (http://www.lavenderlagoon.com/comics.html).

I used to have issues 1-12 (bought as they came out) but I think LadyGuinevere has all my copies now, except one duplicate of 12 (lol). I don't remember 13 or 14, but I do remember most of them came with free gifts.
I think I'm right that France also had a G2 comic.

My set of the comics still have all the free gifts attached.
Issue 1 had a keyring of Sweet Berry, 2 had a purse, 3 had a badge, 4 had a bracelet, 5 had a jotter, 6 had a heart-shaped necklace that you could put pictures into, 7 had an eraser, 8 had a fashion show with Ivy and Dainty Dove, 9 had a scrunchie, 10 had glow-in-the-dark stars, 11 had felt-tip pens, 12 had stickers, 13 had a butterfly mask, and 14 had a bracelet.

Thanks for the information all! I think that magazine must be one of my earliest memories, then! XD I was only born in 1997! Nice to see there's preservation of them - the art is so cute!

Do you perhaps have pictures of them? Interesting to see how they look.
And am I correct that the French comics had different gifts? Nosy and Click were amongst them isn't it?

I haven't got any pictures of the UK comics, unfortunately, but I can take some if you'd like.
As per the Lavender Lagoon article (http://www.lavenderlagoon.com/books-and-magazines.html), "Twins Nosy & Click and Study & Play have been released with [the French] magzines as gift".

If you can make pictures that would be amazing!

I've taken photographs of the comic covers and have uploaded them to my DA Stash (https://sta.sh/2sr81kbjb53).

Thank you so much for the pictures. Fascinating to see what kind of gifts were added. Most don't seem to have a real mlp connection.

Your welcome. It's interesting that several gifts, as you say, aren't pony related.
