She's super beautiful! Big congrats!!!

Wow! What a gorgeous pony and an even better story! That was so sweet of your fiancé. Enjoy your lovely gift!

I actually have her but I'm planning on selling her. I'm not collecting this set.

I have her and love her. I adore rainbows so her symbols are awesome in my books. Also, purple is my favourite colour. Yellow is the complimentary colour to purple so her hair colour makes sense to me.

I have never been a fan of the Tootsy pose but I am realizing more and more lately that some of my fave ponies are in that pose so it's starting to grow on me I guess

Thanks for your responses everyone. It's good to know that I'm not alone with my G1 buying troubles.

I'm going to start buying more ponies here on the arena. Sellers here are awesome and they are great about shipping charges too. I have some doubles that I need to sell too but I have been nervous to do so in case I don't describe the pony well enough. But I think I need to give it a try.

This! That global shipping program is the worst. It's so needlessly expensive!

The Global Shipping Program makes it hard for me to buy from ebay these days. The shipping is so high and slow too.
I don't get it, who is it that is buying on there? Because pony selling on ebay seems to be as lively as ever and prices are high too..!   I see ponies on there selling for much more than I could ask if I was selling it here on the arena. I used to think it was flukes, people caving in to high buyitnow prices, but nope, auctioned ponies are going really high too.

I'm just wondering where all you G1 collectors have been buying the bulk of your ponies from these days. Is anyone else finding it harder and harder to find them for affordable prices?

And then the skyrocketing shipping prices have made it even harder! It makes me sad because it's taken a lot of fun out of collecting lately. Also, I love participating in swaps but it's getting harder and harder to find awesome ponies for my swap partners. The last few swaps I have done I've dipped into my personal collection.

Is anyone else experiencing these problems or is it just me?

I tried one. It was ok. Mine was more sour than sweet. All I could taste was mango flavour and that crazy sour powder on top. It looked amazing but I was pretty disappointed with the flavour. When I mixed it it got a little bit sweeter but the sour notes remained dominant on my palette. I didn't finish mine. I'm glad I tried it but I wouldn't get it again.
