Oh my. Reminds me of when people would say, "I can't stand all those eyes staring at me... hundreds of ponies..." and then they would freak out when they saw my collection. 
Sounds like you need to relax and enjoy ponies and not get so caught up in the hunt for them! 
Haha, the funny thing is...I haven't looked for (or bought) ponies in MONTHS, and I've never even considered purchasing a nirvana! o_O And compared to some of you ponies, my collection's relatively small... (152)

G3 was my childhood generation that got me started. Kind of like UnicornTamer, G3s were really all that I knew of MLP for a while. I remember begging my grandparents for a pony (my first, Tink-a-tink-a-too) at a grocery store, and just taking off from there. I was so wrapped up in MLP that I actually still have pictures of my growing collection, one of which is a professional photo of me at the age of three clinging to a G2 McD's French Sundancer (I just wouldn't let her go ).
I never really knew about MLP's history (the fact of the devided gens) until 2008, after I my family moved across the country and I started to pay more attention to my collection. Now I know so much about the gens and how MLP came to be that I recently wrote my school essay assignment on the history of ponies (almost entirely from my head) 
As for favorites, I don't know if I have one (I think G1 and G3 are tied), but I do my best to give each and every one the love they deserve I really do appreciate G2 (I think they're very elegant) and G4 (the show got me hooked, even though I wasn't so sure about the drastically changed style at first), but if I were to pick a least favorite gen (now, mind you, I don't hate them), it would be G3.5. They remind me of fish. 
So, I'm a G3 girl all the way--over 75% of my collection are G3s, many of them from when I was a young girl.

Thank you so much, everypony *hugs back*  Nightmares are nasty...but thankfully they don't last.

Once upon a time, just a few weeks ago...I have no idea what sparked this dream, but I certainly don't want to relive it. 
Somehow I was on a mountain. Really snowy, high altitude...apparently I was sledding or something with my brothers. There was a medium density of pine trees, but...well, the overall feeling of the place freaked me out. Like in a horror movie. It was about midday, so it wasn't darkness that made me shiver. I crossed paths with one of my younger brothers, but he went on to the next ridge. I was trudging along, crouching and cowering like something massive was about to leap out at me...
Then I saw a pony. On a rock almost fully buried in the snow. Somewhere under a pine tree (sort of). It was some kind of international G1 Applejack--I'm no good at identifying nirvanas, but I knew in my gut that she was real and rare. As quietly as I could, I snatched her up and tucked her under my coat, despite those creepy (almost real) staring eyes. o_O
I kept walking along, downhill (working towards the west), when I spotted another creepy nirvana Applejack staring at me from behind a tree. Despite my brain screaming at me to turn back, I pressed on...and over the course of minutes, the mountain was dotted with half-hidden nirvanas and incomplete prototypes (not only Applejack). As much as Applejack was once in abundance, I started to notice Windy Wings and flutters, particularly Cool Breeze. I snatched up as many as possible, knowing that soon I would have to run (from who-knows-what) and get the heck out of there. The trees began to thin out and the ponies became more menacing. I was ready to race away, but I didn't.
A dark, horrible ramshackle hut (like seen in a horror movie) seemed to materialize out of the clearing. There were ponies almost every two feet surrounding the hut--all G1s, extremely rare, and terribly tantalizing. There were no birds singing; just pure silence. Again, I snatched up as many as possible, then, just as I felt a shadow cross the clearing, I bolted.
The ponies still stared.
It was at that point that I was in my bedroom (where I used to live, up in MI), gasping for breath and tenderly setting the ponies down on my second bed. That was when I started having my doubts about stealing the ponies. They were like evil sentinels, minions of whatever evil resided in the dilapidated hut. The ponies still stared with evil eyes, and I knew that the shadowy monster knew where they were, and would never stop searching for them.
The next part of my dream was hazy, but the most of what I remember is this--for the first time in my life, I was TERRIFIED of ponies. But as much as they made me want to shy away, it was as if a force was reminding me how rare they were, and how much I had wanted such ponies. But when I tried to hide them (I could feel the pressing darkness), I think I remember them speaking to me in a deranged chorus...something like "Bring us back...you will be punished...!" o_O
I will never, EVER, look at nirvanas and prototypes the same way again.
*snif* I need some pony hugs. NOT EVIL PONY HUGS. PLEASE!!

No, they are an 18 piece set. They are pretty chunky, I wish there was an extra-fine side instead of the broad side. These have a broad square tip and a "fine" round tip that is actually quite wide. I love the chunky body of them though.
Thanks! Next time I go to Michaels I'll see if they're there.

They are double-ended graphic art markers from Artist's Loft. I got them at Micheals. They seemed to have a nice range of colours, and they do go on nice and smooth. We'll see how well they last!
I'll need to keep my eye out for those--thanks! They sound really nice...
EDIT: I just looked them up--are they the 12-piece set?I like her to!! SO regal!
Regal--what a perfect word!

What would you G1 experts say a loose Mommy Bright Bouquet is valued at...? My friend lent me hers to clean, and I wanted to give her an approximate price. (I don’t expect her value to be over $15, but I could be wrong) I don’t have any pics, but she’s moderately dirty (mostly surface dirt—I’ve still yet to clean her). The only marks I expect to last are - a pink highlighter mark above her DS eye (any solutions to these type of marks?)
- possible tail rust staining (I’ll do my best to remove it—it’s not very noticeable anyway)
- a bit of play-wear/ingrained dirt on her hoof rims/ear tips
She has Daddy BB, too--what is his value, and what is the whole family's?
So, any input? I’d like to get an idea of her worth before next Monday (March 26), if possible. Also, would anyone have any idea if her particular price will rise somewhat in a few years? Many thanks in advance to all answers! Starlily
