Looking for the TOP MLP Nirvana Collectors!

[maycrestmom]

I think you have a fair representation from wonderful peeps so far - yah maybe a tough crowd in some sense, but I would think you would prefer honesty to fawning "me me" raving loons, yes ?  ;-) :-)

I agree about the money part should not be the focus...  I am in the camp to think that those who flaunt their money and like to brag about it are more akin to the great and powerful Trixie vs Twilight (to use a FiM reference) and please know I am fine to be wrong (it is just my opinion) but I think we all know the phrase that money doesn't buy you happiness

now the joy of discovery is a whole other thing :-)

Being a part of that possibility of discovery is to me the real fun =  honestly more the Indiana Jones hunt for the lost toy than just scoring to spend more than a monthly mortgage payment as frankly I am one to shy away from B-I-G expenditures (ha  = must be my real estate investing background = selling in 2005 to have kids...little did I know the luck of that move at the time) BUT I love the knowledge that maybe some of the joys of childhood in mine and my own kids' lives can be preserved just a bit in the memory of why we keep these ponies around - who can resist a rainbow ?

And who can resist knowing life is more fun just knowing the world over is playing with ponies??  I mean how amazing cool is that to know just as we are all children once, that we can all share playing and imagining with MLP -- even today.  To me, that is more important than the money - finding the common ground we can all as a human family share and enjoy and have fun with while we are here.

So I hope you do put the whole collecting and customizing MLP world into a positive light = our world needs more positive creativity these days = and I am glad in that sense if you do "get" what being a part of the MLP community is all about as a collector yourself  :-)

If your focus is as you say, than I am sure you will find the treasure you seek

Hopefully, given that no one here knows you, you understand why you aren't immediately trusted. Perhaps if you took the time to allow the community to get to know you, you'd have an easier time?

I have seen several different portrayals of collectors and none of them came off as positive- not a single one, unfortunately. I'm not just talking pony collectors either. And I was interviewed on one video that luckily only had less than 50 copies made to my knowledge. My interview was framed in such a way that I sounded like a nutcase. I will certainly never be involved with media again regarding collecting.

So... truthfully?

maybe a binding contract could be written up that would allow the participant OK the finished product BEFORE it airs. If they feel it portrays them or the community negatively, they would be allowed to refuse it to air unless that is corrected and then approved
