So I was off the board for more than 2 years now and as I was not that active before I think I should say hy again ;-)
I was collecting ponys in my childhood and came back to it after my mom gave some of my ponys to my 2 year old girl to play with.
Well, that was 4 years ago and I have another girl now (she's 2 now, so guess what kept me bussy the last 2 years...) and we are now big fans of the G4 ponys (my girls love the show and collect all the main and not so main caracters).
I still love my ponys but I'm not active collecting. More a fan. I love admiring pony stuff on the net, collecting and watching the G4 with my girls, playing around with creating customs - but I don't find the time and space for seriously collecting. (That's why you will find several of my babys at the sale soon)
