It's not selfish at all, I mean if I want 5 Greek mintys and I have the money to buy them then what's the issue.... It means I had the money to buy, same if I buy a peachy or a posey or a Buttons. I'm not selfish because I bought a pony 6 or 7 times over, it's just collecting. And if a pony is super rare then no one will have an army because it'll be impossible to find them. I have two MIP G1 Mintys amongst my 30+ strong army, that's because both were swap gifts. And I'm not parting with them
And Zenna, your Little Flitter army is one of my most favorite armies ever! They just look so very happy being with you:) They clearly know how loved they are!!!
I have a decent sized winger army, but that doesn't mean I go out any buy every winger in sight. I bid on them just like everyone does. I also buy from Arena members, usually from older posted sales threads. It just so happens that I have the money to be able to buy rare ponies when they come up for sale. But I certainly don't go out of my way to deliberately buy ALL the wingers I see for sale. There are tons of them listed at any given point in time, and I've passed on so many the last few months. There were 2 Argie wingers listed on auction on eBay a little while ago. I bid seriously on both of them and lost. Even I get outbid sometimes!!

When it comes to Ebay or even the Arena it's fair game for everyone to buy a pony or bid. Especially when bidding there will always be someone that is going to bid the top amount, and if we have the money then why shouldn't we buy? I'm starting my own little winger/flutter army currently, and I don't feel a bit bad about it. I've been buying flutters with regrind or issues and hair that has to be replaced. I got a box in today with wingers that were all damaged in some way or another, and I'm sitting here now rehairing one of them. I feel like I put effort into my babies, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same about their armies. Especially those that do not collect only mint ponies. I like my little growing army and giving them a home and knowing that some of them are avoiding being "bait" by simply living here with me to be my pony.There are plenty of times I have the cash for ponies and sometimes I don't. Just because a person collects an army doesn't mean they buy up every single one and no person ever will get one.
