Lately, I’ve been thinking about an hypothetical question. What if, for some reason, Hasbro canceled G5 altogether and went back to making G1’s like they used to. The classic toy would be sold in major retailers across the globe and they would be virtually identical to their vintage releases. No more Basic Fun reproductions. I’d imagine that fans of G5 toys and the G5 movie would be very upset. To be honest, as much as I like G1 ponies, I would also be super disappointed with Hasbro. I am very optimistic about what G5 will bring about in the future. There is a Netflix special, a YouTube series, and a whole new show planning to be released in just this year! I wouldn’t like G5 to have so much potential, only for it to be scrapped in favor of something that isn’t original. What would you think about this?

There is a vintage toy store that I sometimes visit, and they have lots of G1 ponies. I’ve bought a few common ponies from there for a cheap price, $5 for a Sundance, $3 for a Surprise, ect. One of the ponies that is for sale is Beach Ball, and she is selling for $15 there. The question is, do you guys know how much she really is worth in good condition? The pony in question is in pretty good shape except for some signs of aging on her leg. Her hair doesn’t appear to be cut. Her paint isn’t rubbed off on her symbols. I just don’t want to end up spending more money than should on this particular pony.
