Hello all!

I hit the “join” button way back in August but am only now getting around to completing my intro post! I am a long time collector of MLP (born in 1981 and collecting since G1 originals, yay!) but not a super serious one.

I’m mostly here for the cleaning and restoration tips, though I might also check out the sale posts and maybe list duplicates I have as well. A few of my G1’s have some staining and spots, but since they are childhood toys and I’m on a budget otherwise, I’d like to get them in good shape rather than trading up.

Glad to meet you all!
