Show me your 'Love at first sight' ponies you HAD to get!

[Clarabel Sapphire]

All these photos and stories are wonderful! 

Bluebelle was the one pony I always wanted as a child, but by the time I got into MLP she was no longer available in stores.  When I started collecting again in 2001, she was the first pony I bought.  In fact, she was the reason I registered with eBay and was my first ever purchase!

My favourite colour is blue and I just had to have the first blue My Little Pony produced.

I didn't think I'd ever get her honestly, but she eventually turned up on ebay a while back and somehow I won her

Coolbreeze! I love her so much! I actually sold one of her a long time ago and have hated myself for it! Now I get as many as her that I can (within reasonable prices) I have two more not in the pic now

I guess this girl counts. She had been decarded by her previous owner, and I think I totally overspent, but o man she is so mint and she even smells divine.

OMG I would kill to own a pristine Love Melody. She is divine! I wish I am back in the 80s again.

My love at first sight pony was Ice Crystal and Yum Yum (TAF), and both are mine (Yum Yum is on her way from Ebay).  Will snag pictures of them asap.  =D

Aw everyone's pony stories are wonderful, and the photos are amazing!
Glace: I don't know how many times I have drooled over that beauty of yours!

Texas: Ooh can't wait to see!

Love Petal.
When I was a kid, my best friend had her. I didn't like her much then, but when I got older and back into ponies I asked if my friend still had her ponies and was really really hoping she did. Alas, no but I did get her off ebay eventually

Aw man, I wanted her desperately before you posted, but now? Madly, insanely! Your photo is stunning, very good light levels and composition, and it makes me love her all the more!

So, Icey is near mint, and Yum Yum needs some new hair in her mane, but overall, I just love them dearly!!!

Purple version? I didn't know there was another version of her? 
She and Sail-away/Hula Hula (why would they give them the same names?!) are two of my favourite ponies. My Pina Colada has a frizzy mane and hardly anything left to call a tail. But I love her anyway 
I'd like to give her a new tail, but I've yet to find a match for her bright hair o.O

Yep, there are two versions! EU and US version. The bright red one is the EU version, but they sold the purple one here too. I know that because the more purple one is my childhood pony, and I remember when I got her.

Here's a picture for comparison
