I  I think I won the pony lottery.

Goodness me I think you did!  Thats amazing, well done you!

A while ago one of the local charity shops had a box full of G3s, there must have been at least 25 there.  If I'd got them it was just because they were cute and colourful but I was cursing that they were not G1s!

Lickety Split.  My mum and dad bought her for me all the way back in 1985.  Coincidentally I put a photo of her on my Instagram today: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFMCZsAOoFH/

She certainly went through the wars a bit, and I trimmed some frizz out of her mane and tail at one point (11-year-old me didn't know how to get rid of frizz - doh!!) But she's held up pretty well over the years, and even still has a slight bit of pink in her hair.

Wow she's looking good for her age!

Is it any generation or one only?  Plastic or plush?

I'm collecting G1 plastic ponies and G4 plushies.  I have the keyring version of the mane 6, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie.  I have the next size up of these 6 too plus a slightly different version of Twilight Sparkle.

I have 4 large plushies, AppleJack, Fluttershy, Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle

I also have a G1 Lullaby Nursery and a G1 mug (I don't use it though, it's in the cabinet with my ponies!)

I also have a G1 book that I found in a charity shop

 

I realise I'm probably in the minority here but I never really liked the twinkle eyed ponies.  I seem to remember having Fizzy as a child but I've no inclination to get them again

My ponies live in a corner cabinet in our bedroom with my Lullaby Nursery living on my chest of drawers.  (Hubby and I have a set each so he puts what he wants on his and I put what I want on mine!)

I'm not sure what will happen as the collection grows but thankfully there's plenty of space in the cabinet for now so I don't have to worry just yet

Im totally in awe of some of those who have whole rooms for their collections, I have an extremely tolerant husband but I'm not sure I could go that far!

As for who sees/knows about the collection, people rarely see them what with the ponies living in our bedroom.  My Mum seems to think I'm a bit childish for still liking them but hubbys family  don't have a problem with it and have been known to help hubby source ponies for me!

Wow that is a bargain!

When my childhood collection was sold, my Mum kept Ice Crystal as he was her favourite.  He will be mine again one day.

I'd love to rebuild my collection of the Big Brother and Mountain Boy ponies as I think I had most if not all of them as a child, sadly though I think it will be a long job given the money that they are worth these days.
