Introduction- New to arena, from Twin Cities
« on: July 18, 2013, 07:57:41 AM »
Hello!

I remember my first pony- Starshine. My sister's was Parasol. Our collection grew over many Christmases and birthdays, until it reached epic proportions of approximately 35 ponies (yes, thirty-five. When we were kids we thought this was huge).  Then in high school I discovered flea markets. This is still my favorite place to go! I wasn't really into G2, or later G3, but as the G1 population dwindled at the markets, and I didn't want to go home empty handed, I eventually started collecting G2, G3, and now G4. I now have 396 ponies (G1, USA), a decent sized herd that I figure is 75% complete. I don't know how many of the other generations. Bunches, I guess.

On a side note, I used to think that the G2s were abominations. My sister and I had fun coming up with stories on why they looked so unappealing- usually involving pony plagues and mutations- however, the Ugly Trophy now rests with the the G3.5s, imho.

And now the boring stuff: My name's Sarah (ponyqueen here and on Ebay- (which I'm increasing disappointed with/haven't bought off there in a decade/only use it for pony research and I'm not talking price guide). I'm 31, and live in Minnesota. I like long walks on the beach and my dream is to visit Flutter Valley.

 to the Arena :wave:

I would say 35 ponies for a childhood herd is pretty impressive.  I only even managed to wrangle about 12 - which is not many when I think about how much I played with them! 

Enjoy the forums :)

Well, I only had 5 ponies growing up, so 35 IS a huge collection for a kid! ;)

Nice to meet you, and welcome to the Arena!
