i will grab any gen i see or pony toy tht catches my fancy at the yard sale flea market thrift store. (if it isnt overly expensive) but pretty much i cant leave g1s and such behind. i ended up with quite a few fakies
now i'm a bit more picky but if its a real mlp its coems home lol
but as for my actul collecting i colelct g1, primarily (trying to finish cetian collections) the g1 playsets g3. some g4 i love the tinsel!
i have sevreal g4s. the brushable and the fs. (becuaes they remind me of the older styles) but most of hte time i wont gt them unles si ahve a coupon or i find them in thrift sote/flea market/yard sale or i get them as gifts.
i have a couple g 3.5 and some newborn cuties.
i dont really collect g2 i do own.. i think 6 or 7 becuae i found them in a thrift store and couldnt leave them there.
i also have some ponyville and blind bags but i dont really colelct Blind bags or ponyville.
