Went to the MLP Fair when it came to Nashville a couple years ago. Jenn Blake had a panel, that was neat. I love her art.
Picked up a couple G1 toys while I was there, and had Bonnie Zacherle sign a G1 Applejack.

Been going to Bronycon since 2014, my first year there was amazing, subsequent years haven't been as fun, though still enjoyable.

Went to my first and last Nightmare Nights in Dallas earlier this year, was kinda melancholy cause 2017 was their last year. I about lost it when a fan jumped on stage during closing ceremonies and played Taps on his saxophone.

I shelled out for a hotel-tier badge for Everfree NW in Seattle next year, me and a couple friends are going there.

Conventions are a great place to relax, spend too much in the vendor hall (me and my friends spent more than $10k at Bronycon this year), spend time with current friends and make new ones.

For me it's the original style, regular-sized brushables mostly. I also love the comic books, I collect the trade paperback editions. I also love books with the non-vector art, such as the 'Under the Sparkling Sea' book, and I also have an art book for the movie which is really beautiful. Oh and the blindbags, but only the actual blindbags, the ones with cards. The new ones have mini catalogues, (not to mention drawn-on wings!) so I'm about to stop buying them I think.

Cool! Your avatar is beautiful by the way!

Thanks! It's by Witch, she's amazing! Her thread is temporarily closed right now, but keep an eye on it: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,389138.0/topicseen.html

I have one here if you're looking for the unicorn: http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/bluerose9978/MLP/index.album/twilight?i=160

A belated welcome to the Arena!

I bet that welcome feels weird - after being here 4 years! 

I personally love the G1 unicorns - they're so pretty! 

If you mean NSS (non-So-Soft) Lofty, they never made one.  You'd have to find someone who deflocked one.

I love stuffed animals, I have hundreds of them! I used to collect specific kinds like Nintendo, Pokemon, Hamtaro, etc. But now I like anything that is sufficiently cute and looks good quality. I also used to buy a lot online, but now I'm more fond of buying one when I'm out with someone, to preserve the memory of that day So in those cases I'm less picky.

I hope it's alright to share a story about a specific pair of plushies I have here! My three childhood besties came to visit me in Philly for the first time last April. I was showing them around the city, and we stopped at the zoo. At the gift shop, one of my friends and I mutually decided we both wanted stuffed cheetahs. She picked one out and I grabbed one from another brand, but after holding them a bit we decided we both liked the others' cheetahs better, lol. So we traded cheetahs and named them after Greek goddesses - hers is Artemis and mine is Nike. I bought them because I was happy to have something to remember their visit by and wanted to gift her the cheetah. We walked around downtown Philly after that, and she was carrying her cheetah around like no big deal, while I was too embarrassed to do the same...That friend was killed in a freak accident Oct. 9. She was an EMT and her ambulance crashed into a semi. At the service after her funeral, they had some of her things laid out on display, and Artemis was there. I got in contact with her roommate, and he gave the cheetah to me. I didn't like the thought of her getting donated and not going to someone who knew the story behind them. And it felt right that they would stay together.

Artemis is on the left, Nike is the shaggy little one on the right. My friend liked Artemis because of her spots and black ears, I liked Nike because of the cute face.
