Personally I wouldn't wish any child of mine to go through what I did at public secondary school. They were the worst years of my life.
But of course, each area is different.

My army of SS Twilights could become a reality!  :O
That is, if they could handle flocking  xD

Pony Corral / Re: Question about G2 ponies.
« on: February 08, 2012, 11:45:57 AM »
G2s came out the year I started school, & I loved them. :) I had a herd of them, a few magazines, the pc game, & the odd bit of merchandise. But I agree that they were pretty poorly marketed- the adverts didn't play very frequently, & the magazine only lasted a few issues. When I compare G2s to the other lines now, I have to admit that they look a little off... but I adore the artwork.
As a kid, I also had access to the G1 cartoons, but had no idea the old toyline existed. I wondered why the characters were completely different, & I preferred the G1 world, with all the unicorns & pegasai. Me & my friends called the G1s 'fat ponies' & the G2s 'thin ponies.'  xD
I was 10 when G3 came out, & I loved them instantly, because of their similarity to G1. I guess chubby ponies are where it's at.  :silly:

I'd decapitate her & send back the head.

Happiness is a soft, fuzzy pony coated in flocking.  :lol:
I don't think it would work out as well as the G1s, but it would be interesting to see.

From pretty much the first day I started collecting, I told myself I wanted Gusty.
Years later, I still haven't got her.  xD I guess it's a combination of time & money.
  There's a couple on ebay right now, but I think I'll wait til I find an SS version...

I think it's a nifty idea. :D
I'm not a tattoo person myself, but I do love the thought of having Honeycomb's symbol somewhere. I'm a sucker for bees  :lovey:

I don't collect G4s, but Pepperdance is ridiculously cute.   :P  They should release her!
& Cherry Spices, that colour scheme is too unique to pass up.

Oh, definitely Gandalf.  :lol:
YOU SHALL NOT PASS.
Would you rather
a) be trapped upside-down on a rollercoaster for two hours
or
b) be buried alive for two hours, complete with creepy crawlies  x3

So pretty  :)
It reminds me of a book I read at primary school about a sand horse.

Off Topic / Re: Do you have a good support system with your collecting?
« on: February 06, 2012, 09:44:45 AM »
I am an INCREDIBLY weird, quirky person, so it didn't take my mum & brother long to get used to it.  :P
My mum gave me some disapproving glances at first when ponies started popping up in my room, but she's fine with it now, as long as I don't clutter the place. She definitely prefers the pony collection to my obsession with serial killer books.   :silly:
My dad moved out before I started collecting, & I know for a fact that he would not be happy about it. He's a major control freak & has loads of problems with my personality & interests. But screw him   :lol:
I only have one friend who collects, but I openly tell people about my hobby if they ask. Everyone on my uni course thinks it's pretty neat.  :3 They thought I was a G4 collector at first, but I got two of them into G1s.  xD

A tail, it would come in handy for manipulating stuff  xD
Would you rather
a) spend the night in a bed completely strewn in cobwebs & spiders
or
b) spend the night in an outdoor bed, in the middle of a muddy bog in the freezing cold rain?

SS Twilight   :lovey:
That's a terribly unrealistic desire though  xD  I haven't been able to come across even one yet.

Pony Corral / Re: Who are the "Oldie Moldies"?
« on: February 05, 2012, 10:09:43 AM »
I technically started collecting in 1997 when I was about 5.   :P  I saw my G2s as collectables as well as toys, so it's ironic that they all got thrown out later on.  D:
I discovered the online community around 2003, & fell in love with G1s & G3s, although I didn't start buying ponies again until 2009. I was a lurker here for many years before joining.  xD

I'm waiting impatiently for a big chunky fishcake with sweetcorn, bahaha  xD
Then some fruit & yoghurt  :3
