You seem like a very friendly group and I'm happy to be here.

I'm pretty shy so expect me to be more of a lurker until I get to know you all better.
I'm a relatively new collector. So far I'm focused exclusively on G4 but I plan on expanding into G3 in the near future. My collection is currently comprised of brushables and blind bags. I have some specific collecting parameters:
G4 brushables (non-gimmick- so none that light up, raised symbols, Glimmer Wings, etc. just the basic brushables). So far I think I have every one except Lily Blossom (kicking myself for passing on her when I saw her at K-Mart last year) and Daisy Dreams. At the time I was only picking up certain ponies... but then I found myself filling in the gaps in my herd one at a time (nothing new was coming out, I was getting frustrated not finding Diamond Rose... and somehow other ponies kept going home with me one at a time) and suddenly I realized the only ones missing from my collection were Lily Blossom and the non-USA releases. That's when I decided to just become a G4 brushable completist since I was pretty much already there anywhere.

I still haven't found any of the latest releases that are just hitting but I'm keeping my eyes peeled. It would help tremendously if I had a Target or a Toys R Us locally. The nearest ones are all 45 minutes away so I don't get out to any of them as frequently as I'd like to.
Blind bags- I really wasn't going to get these (to me it really isn't a MLP unless it has brushable hair) but I like the fact that there's a larger selection of characters available than there are in the brushables. Plus they had Minty and the brushables don't and I admit, I really like Minty (keeping my fingers crossed they do eventually release her as a brushable). So far I only have wave 1 and the first Toys R Us exclusive set.
