13. How is your collection displayed?
It isn't. I have few ponies standing here and there and a stack of transparent plastic boxes full of ponies standing by my bed but the rest are still in boxes from when I moved. I'm going to buy a big cupboard to have them in.

17. What is your favorite part about collecting?
Getting a pony I really want. Finding ponies "in the wild". Also the world I have created around my ponies but I had that before I started collecting.

MLP Arena is the only pony site I really visit these days but I love the personal part of Ponyland Press.

19. What flaw(s) can you not stand?
Stickyness! Major haircuts, damaged eyes, major frizz

20. How complete is your collection?
I'm not looking to get all ponies ever made just the ones I like. There are still quite a few ponies I want so it's not complete.

Thank you both of you for your input! Much appreciated!

Yeah, I also think the Brexit is gonna have a negative effect . I'm trying hard to get as many things as possible from the UK before New Year because it's kinda now or never. I wish they had been able to come to an agreement.

I know Ice Crystal is kind of rare and sought after so I know he's one of the more expensive ponies but what is a fair price for an Ice Crystal in good condition? Is he really worth like £200?
I'm hoping to get my hands on one before the trade agreement between the UK and EU ends at new year, otherwise I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get him because he'll become too expensive with import fees and all.

I love Toy Story!! I still like the 4th movie though it's not my favorite. I wish it had ended in a different way and that Woody hadn't left Bonnie!

My feelings exactly. They actually show the storyboards that were made for different endings in the Blu Ray special features. There was apparently debate amongst the writers on which to use... In the other endings, Woody doesn’t split from the gang. I just like to pretend those are canon, instead.

Love those photos! The Domo-kuns are hilarious.

Oh, that's interesting! Must get my hands on the Blu-Ray one day!

And thank you very much! I love Domos - they are so funny!

They better be on both sides!

Those are some beautiful birthday treasures!

Thank you!

Wow, how awesome is that! Big contrats!

This is my personal experience with international shipping these days:

I'm in Denmark. My parents were on holiday in Madeira in early March just before the world closed down. They sent me a postcard from there that I just got a couple of weeks ago. It was three months to reach me.

I participated in Crowning Glory's Flutter Pony photo contest. She sent something to all the participants but I still haven't received what she sent me. She's in the US and it's been almost two months since she sent it.

Shipping from the UK used to be delayed to but appear to be more normal again.
