Haha! I got asked If I am Famous for ...

[Sunshine]

I am known for my fairly large G4 brushable collection as I have almost all released variants and of course my Minty A. I sometimes wish I wasnt known for those two things, I want to be known for how much I love mlp and  not what I own, but eh I love collecting! I try not to be snooty about my herd, because I dont want to discourage other peoples smaller herds. I do love my herd members, and each and every one of em have an equal spot in my heart!

I've had several people on eBay ask me if I'm the one who was in the newspapers and on TV with my collection. They put 2 and 2 together with my eBay ID and where I'm from. I've made a few friends that way actually I've also had people contact me on the forums asking "are you THE Sarah B????" LOL I think people think I'm famous

I've been asked if I have them all and called a pony expert too lol.

My 5 year old neice's mom had her clean out her playroom of all the toys she didn't use anymore. In the group was her G4 wedding playset with all the pieces. She'd carefully set them all aside for me because, as she said, "Mommy wanted them to go to a child who'd play with them, and I know you like ponies!". I just about died from the cuteness!

This is just about the cutest thing I've ever heard! So sweet!

I often get asked if I have them all! This is my usual reaction. --->

Urgh, I get that all the time especially when I say I have more than 1000. They say "there cannot be more than that!"

ALL my friends think that my pony amount is crazy high! i have only 2 bookshelves with ponies!

[Tirac]

I tell my friends I almost have 300 ponies and they go "NOOOO WAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!1one11eleven" Even though I try convincing them that it's not that many and most of them are baits they still think it's an amazing feat.

A friend's young daughters, who love ponies, came into my room once; of course, they wanted to play with the ponies, so I let them play with some.  I also collect Star Trek action figures, and the little girl gestured to them and said "Ah, I see you have some boy toys as well."  I thought it was cute.

I lol'd at this!

I have had relatives over and at one point one of them told me it must take extreme dedication to collect that many ponies. I think that's the most discipline I have ever have when it comes to collecting. I think most can't believe that thats not even all of my collection because I just don't have the space to show off them all.

My mum asks me every single time a pony parcel arrives "dont you have enough yet?"...to which I answer "NEVER! There are never enough ponies!"..and then run off to open my parcel and enjoy the pony-ness.

My favorite reaction is always my Mom- she just plops herself down in the pony room and combs. One of my friend's kids came over for my birthday party (a glorified bbq) and ran to the pony room right away. She came back sort of deflated, but there was a lot going on so I didn't ask why. Then she handed me my gift- it was Applejack, and she had seen that I already have her, so she was sad. I was thrilled, though, because I got to open her and she hung out with us all night! I'm pretty sure the little girl was happy after that!

Lol, well:

We have a friend who collects guns and thinks my collection is great because it's very organized.  According to him you're a serious collector if you have a good display.  If you have a good display any collection is great.

I have another friend who's the epitome of cool.  He's in a band that's about ready to be signed and has toured Japan and stuff.  He only had good things to say when he saw my pony room too.  I was not expecting that reaction from him.

Then there's my boss.  She thinks the pony room and my website are just amazing.  She told one of my co-workers that I'm "one of the foremost pony collectors in the country".

LOL
