Hi, I am new to the site and thought I should introduce myself.
When I was little I was shy and when my mother brought me to dance classes, I would be nervous to go in even though I loved it. So my mom would take me to choose a MLP after class if I went in by myself. I loved them (G1's - first years of production) and I had quite the bag full. I stopped collecting as I got older, but the ones I had always stayed with me and had a special place in my heart. Recently I found out a bunch were sold at a yard sale which was really upsetting, especially when the ones that were sold were some of my favourite and it seems they were also some of the most popular/special ones I had (a few sea ponies with their shells/inner tubes, my babies, my birthday month one, etc.) I have recently gone looking for them at the local thrift stores and while I haven't found them, I have found a few others and of course they have come home with me. I have found some really nice condition earth ponies and some babies and also a Mimic which I have recently read here is quite exciting. I am currently wanting to clean up and display my ponies as they have been stored until now as life has been unsettled and now I have a place for them. It will be nice to spend time with them and have them out as it will be a nice distraction from life which is a little troubled at the moment. I look forward to spending time here and learning more about my favourite childhood treasures as well as enjoying all of yours.
