I don't really have a little pony traveling companion anymore, although I used to carry some little ones around with me. One of the first things my boyfriend noticed about me when he first saw me was a little Applejack sticking out of my pocket - that early one from the set with molded hair ponies, AJ, Pinkie, Twilight, Spike and Celestia. She was my favorite pony, my first pony, and I had just moved to a new city 1,000 miles from anyone I knew, so I needed her comfort. Later on an Applebloom blindbag would travel with me because I thought she was cute. I never really wanted to bring actual, full sized ponies with hair, because their hair would get messed up in my bag.

Now my travel buddy is a small stuffed dog that we rescued. He was tied to a balloon and hanging in a tree for a year, so we saved him (and cleaned him!!) Before we rescued him, we would call it the "Intrepid Explorer", like he flew in from some far away land and got stuck in the tree. So it's fitting that he explores with me now.

My boyfriend was working today and has been lying to me all day! I sent him the DPCI code someone posted here to check their stock, but he said they didn't come in yet. He just got home and surprised me with the entire case, still in the cardboard box from the factory! Today was such a horrible day otherwise, it is such a needed pick-me-up.

I didn't know who to unbox, but I decided on Blossom. Because I just realized that I don't actually have a full set of the original six ponies (??) and the one I'm missing is Blossom! Apparently I've got Lemon Drop in her place in my collection, lol. I just assumed LB was one of the original six.

Thanks to the MN pony meet last month, I also have the full original six, but I wasn't around for the 25th anniversary set so I can't help but be excited. If these do well, they may do other ponies too. Like how the 25th anniversary had tge rainbow ponies too...And now they're more easy for people to buy because they're not in bigger packs. Individually, I can see parents buying these for the nostalgia and not being halted by the price too much.

I became spotty in my watching around season six, and I barely watched season 7. The other day I was looking for something to watch and put on the episodes where Applejack's a fashion judge and tge one about the princesses. It was hard to watch because everyone has gotten so sarcastic, sassy and nasty sounding. Or just very overexaggerated. It's kinda painful to see.

I wonder of the fact that we have all seen this concept art (if it is that) has doomed it to not being used.

Thank you ponyqueen for hosting such a great meetup, it was really fun! And thank you to everyone for being so welcoming Both Erick and I enjoyed meeting you all. Special thank you to ponyqueen for letting us into your home, ponyqueen, ponyking and Aurora for helping us out when we must have looked lost, and Gusty for the ponies you sold me - with Minty and Snuzzle, I've completed the original set I'm glad everyone liked the cupcakes, and the sloth bags lol. I am looking forward to the next meetup, and would love to talk sewing!

Blackfrost, I'm glad your mom is feeling better, and I hope they stay on the up and up for her!

Hi guys, Erick and I are running behind a bit! I lost the bag with my dice game gifts, so we needed to stop at Five Below and I'm wrapping in the car.
