That is really cool! She's a pony lover, through and through.

This was my first time ever doing Black Friday. I worked 11 hours morning to night Friday, so I opted to go late Thanksgiving night. I know that makes a lot of people angry, but most of us have had jobs where we work on holidays. I once worked a 13 hour day on Christmas day. This is adult life. Anyways, I was surprised at all the deals I actually got. DEB Store (a clothing store) was offering everything at 50% off! I got $100 worth of clothing for half of that (which is pretty awesome because their prices are already pretty good.) I got my mom a pair of $80 boots at BonTon for $20, and a scarf for her at JCPennys for $10.00, which isn't too great of a deal, but oh well. I got my grandma a hoodie at Aeropostale (she likes that brand) for $12, normally $44.00 and a jewelry set for $4.50 at JCPennys. Got the boyfriend a shirt for $7.99 (normally $24.99) and a nice pro slingshot for $10.00 (not sure what the original price was) for $10.00. I got all but two of the Harry Potter DVDs for myself for a total of $12 at Walmart.

I am already a bargain/clearance shopper, but I was pleasantly pleased to get a lot more for family and myself than I could have afforded if they weren't on sale. I do not make much money after my bills and student loans are paid, and I was worried about everyone I need to buy for this year. Not everyone likes handmade gifts. (I sew/make jewelry, etc.) Our mall was not crowded at all, and everyone I encountered was friendly, but I live in a rural area. However, apparently Walmart was a warzone. I didn't go to Walmart until like 2am, after all the chaos settled down.

I err on the side of never bait-ing G1s. Someone out there will buy them and restore them if they are unwanted. G1s will continue to become fewer and fewer as time goes on -- many get thrown out, destroyed, lost, or collected by people like us... etc. And, with boy ponies, a lot of people will still take them.

I think a lot of people now only use newer Gens for customization.

Wow, great swap boxes so far!

Nice collection!

Probably stock as everyone said. I hate when movies/games/etc use that same few stock screams... Like the one in the intro to Ahh! Real Monsters is also used in a zillion other things. Why?!

It is easy for newer fans of MLP to be dismissive about older gens.. Sometimes, you have to have experienced it to feel the magic... Growing up in the 80s/90s was a great time for toys. My memories of MLP from those days are some of the best. The focus of kids cartoons wasn't so much on comedy as it is now, too, so I can see how it is hard for some Bronies to see why people like G1, etc.

Anyway, thanks for the insight!

Your styling looks pretty darn good to me! Very accurate.
