I joined the Arena a while ago, when I dug my old ponies out of their box and went through them all. I don't really plan to be a general poster, but since I need an intro to read a lot of stuff I see linked by friends, I figured it was about time.
I'm 25 years old, turning 26 this October. I live in BC, Canada, around the Vancouver area. I work at Zellers right now, which will be closing on my birthday (Oct 13th). At least, that's when my store closes, so we kinda going mental right now getting everything ready for liquidation. I have a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice and want to eventually work in Corrections or maybe at the border. You know... fairly easy government jobs with good benefits. xD
I've been "collecting" MLPs since I was a kid. More so inherited from others than getting new. They always held a far more important place in my heart than Barbies or Polly Pockets, which were the other two main toys we had around. I have all generations of ponies, because of refusing to let them go during garage sales over the years. My ponies! But I have a preference to G2/G3.
Working retail, I've collected a good number of new G3/G4 and since I live at home and really don't have the room to display them, most are still MIB. lol I do have a number of G3s up on a little book shelf, on the desk behind me where my computer is. So I always have some ponies and LPSs near me. xD
I wasn't initially the biggest fan of G4s, but Rarity sucked me in. I like white ponies, even thought I hate purple. Since then, I've snapped up pretty much every new G4 single pony that comes out in store, more so if they are on sale. I really need to go through all the boxes of ponies and pet shops I have so that I can make a good list of what I have.
