So..I don't really have a "collector's gene" I suppose. While I like finding ponies at random at flea markets and thrift shops, I don't really enjoy the thrill of the hunt of searching down specific ponies on my wishlist-especially when they're new releases.
I feel like I've been out of the pony game for awhile now and I come back to find G4 is actually releasing new ponies! I was smitten with FS Sunset Shimmer (btw, is Coco Pommel still going to be released?) and was disappointed when the first two stores I went to didn't have her. Finally my fiance found her at a different store and I'm so thrilled to have her. I've been researching more about the new ponies I've missed and love Holly Dash and Diamond Mint, only it seems they're not released in the US. With funds so low right now I can't afford spending the $20+ they go for on ebay, and it's disappointing when I know if they were sold in Target they'd be $5.
I guess I sound spoiled since the US tends to get all the releases, so I apologize. I just feel down since I'm afraid that if I wait their price will get even higher, but I just can't swing what they cost right now either since they're not available in local stores.
