Such unique bright colors. That’s great you were able to get her!

I re-bought my first pony today, g4 Pretzel, and I’m working on my wtb list.
There are a few I had before that I was never terribly fond of that I won’t re-buy but there’s still over 40 I do want to try to find again. It’s a little daunting, but I think I’ll just try to start with a few that seem a bit easier to get still and go from there, and watch out for decent prices on some of the rarer ones over time.
My goal is to get fairly close back to how my collection was here

I do now prefer a smaller collection to a big one! I limit how many and can be picky about what I buy.

I have other things in life that I like to save or spend my money on. I am almost 39 and want to think about my future. I find more joy in saving money than spending it! Funny how it changes as we age.
Right! I am very much there with you, preferring small collections, being super picky, and getting more happiness out of saving money.
I probably overthink when I do want to buy, and especially re-buy, something now though  ^^;

Thanks for sharing, everyone. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one. I try not to think of any of my past decisions as mistakes, because I had reasoning at the time but I still occasionally question myself. I just recently picked up a new collection too, Rainbow High, and it's caused me to do a lot of reflecting on how I've handled things in the past and how I want my toy collecting to look overall.

@Flitter, unfortunately like ponies, one becomes two and two becomes three very easily ;)
You were right  :lol:
I ended up keeping both versions of Jade (though I do slightly favor Winter Break if I REALLY had to choose only one)
but my real fail is that I got Luna for a decent price, only intending to keep her 2nd outfit, but she is TOO CUTE!
I've never liked dolls with unnatural skintones, but Luna just is adorable.

In 2018. I sold all but 3 of my G4 brushable pony collection.
Lately I've been thinking I kind of miss several of them and am considering rebuilding my collection. I'm afraid though because
1. Many of them are now much more expensive than I originally bought/sold them for.
2. I'm worried I'm just feeling nostalgic and won't ever love my collection like I once did. That I'll buy them but feel they are kind of "empty" if that makes sense.

Also, I've done similar things in the past. I re-bought 8 Funko ponies but only ended up keeping one.
Same with Ever After High. Sold my entire collection, re-bought 7 of them, now I'm considering selling all but 1 or 2 again. I'm also considering re-buying a couple Zelfs.
My reasons for selling were always that I felt I had lost interest, collecting didn't align with my goals, and/or that I felt I didn't have enough space. Clutter makes me anxious.
Only secondarily was it about financial pressure but I do often have the feeling that if I'm not actively enjoying something that the money from selling could better go towards things I'm currently more into.

Did anyone else give up collecting, then start over again?
Did your love of your collection return as you rebuilt it?
What kinds of things did you factor when deciding to re-buy?

Has anyone else read about Hasbro’s bad Q4 numbers and that they are laying of 15% of their workforce?
I’m hoping they have the insight to realize the sales numbers dropped a lot due to inferior product. Their upcoming strategy is alluded to be to focus more heavily on their big name product and minimize properties that didn’t perform as well.
Makes me really wonder where that leaves MLP now.

Pony Corral / Re: I made a G3 tier list template!

Fun!
I don’t know if I know g3 well enough to really tier properly, or have opinions on other people’s tiers.
If you end up getting to g4 eventually I’d find that pretty interesting.

Pony Corral / Re: What is this merch?
« on: March 01, 2023, 06:58:44 PM »
I don’t know any info on it
But that looks so familiar. I think I had one as a child.
Does it have those sticky pages with plastic over them?

These new ponies make me sad! I do love the art, but the toys stink. :(
I feel the same :snow:

I finally caved and got a RH doll, Series 1 Jade  :mrgreen:
I also have the winter series Jade in the mail arriving this weekend.
Not sure if I’ll keep both dolls or choose a favorite and just keep the wardrobe.
