Hello from the Midwest!
« on: July 05, 2012, 06:32:13 PM »
Hello!

My name is Shaye and I am a collector living in the midwest region of the USA. I collect mainly the FiM Blind Bags, but lately I have been looking at the brushables, and hope to at least get the Mane 6 of those.

Right now I have Wave 1 of the blind bags complete, and have ordered Wave 3 and Wave 4 (they're in the mail, yay!).
I am looking to finish Wave 2 and have about half of them left to find, but the prices are rising very quickly and it's almost painful to try to collect at the moment. I can only pray that Hasbro pities those of us living in North America and releases Wave 2 somewhere :(

As for brushables, I have Applejack (w/ the suitcase) and Rarity (w/ carriage), and hope to find the others just so I can have the show's leads all together sitting pretty. Miscellaneous items I have include the gift set (plastic molds Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Celestia), two of the 2011 McDonald's toys (AJ and RD), and a 2012 McDonald's RD.

I'm not a very serious collector (only when it comes to the blind bags!) and I hope to just find some fellow bronies/pegasisters to share the love with.

-

Ponies aside, I'm just an average 19-year-old girl getting ready to start my second year of college as a biology major. :)

I agree with Diamond, the sparkley BB ponies are so cool.  I have two sitting on my shelf beside the telephone at the moment.  I hope you manage to find the others you need :glitter:

Oh goodness! Thank you everyone!

I have been searching eBay rather extensively in hopes of snagging the glitters for a low price; since it seems those ones shoot up in value rather quickly once auctions get started. Hopefully if I play ninja just right -- haha.

It's really the others I'm more concerned about finding. There's not a single listing for a BB Blossomforth that I can find anywhere! :S Oh well, so it goes sometimes :)

Hi, biologistkid, and welcome to the Arena!

Good luck with filling out your collection! ^.^  One of these days, may Hasbro twig to the fact that people want to complete their sets and stuff... :lol:

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html

I certainly hope they cave - I'm willing to spend all of my paycheck on them! Haha.

@Zenna - Oooh, fun! I'm just general ol' Biology with a Pre-medical focus. Wildlife Biology sounds like it was a lot of fun!

It was great!  Tough, but worth it.  I had to take lots of general bio courses too, but this was more management and conservation-focused.
