They are so tiny and cute and I want them. Though I foresee some of them falling victim to the dreaded vacuum cleaner.

Nine times out of ten I find fakies of the recent ones or G4s of which I don't collect. Half the fun is holding out hope and searching. Best find so far happened last weekend and it wasn't MLP. It was a Breyer and my top" hope to find it" while thrifting. So it can still happen, good luck to everyone who's currently thrifting.

I've only found G1s in the wild a few times but my two favorites.
-First G1 was NSS Cherries Jubilee in a tiny family run thrift store in a tiny rural town. My college roommate must have thought I was nuts for asking for three dollars. Because I'd left my wallet at home and I really, really wanted Cherries.
-Found a tailless Moondance at a small sci-fi con last May. She was in a bin of odd n ends toys which I dug through on a hunch.
Both are nothing special but they meant something to me, Cherries is sadly long gone but I have Moondancer.

Thanks for posting the photos and sharing the information, I love learning about G1 poses. Going to try to hit up the Target that's a bit farther away this week. When I was there two weeks ago they had the scented wave of rainbows and I might buy Sunlight and Parasol. Since I've never seen them in the wild due to how popular they are around here.

No ponies at my Target but they still have shelf tags. So I’m not worried.
Thanks for the comparison photos, didn’t know the retro is in a different pose. Which I find fascinating.

I’ve only seen the uni/pegs set twice,both in early November
and I did “they’ll be around later”.  This was at Target.

She's new to me and I want her. I never bought any of the Easter/spring themed ponies and I regret it.

Adore her coloring and had her back in the day which as someone else noted. 2004 has been how long gone?! feeling old   If I found her again I'd buy her.
