Is anyone DONE with collecting?

[Jinxxy]

We all set collecting goals and such. S
ome of our collections range from a few, to a few hundred, and we also set goals for ourselves like "I want to own all the sea ponies" or "I want to own every butterfly pony" etc..

But I am wondering this:
Is anyone here actually DONE COLLECTING?

By that I don't mean DONE with MLP itself or fed up, but rather done with the ACT of collecting; not because of a loss of interest at all but because you actually acquired every pony you personally set out to own/want.

It's probably harder to say for people who collect G4 since there are plenty to still be released, but what about the other gens?

I only ask because I much enjoy the chase of finding awesome ponies, and finding them is a big part of the actual collecting.. but I only have a handful of ponies I actually need anymore... I will likely find them all within the next 5 years or so, and after upgrades, I realize I am probably done!!

Any of us here actually complete all their collecting goals?!?!

i'll never be finished as G4s keep being made as do fanmade plushies and customs.

I have never said that i am done with collecting. But I have a few times I have got certain ponies I want. then it is a while until i get another goal.

Also I seem to switch which generations I am collecting mainly at that point in time. right not I have some how got in to glimmer wing ponies. But they will be modified before they actually go on display. (I cannot stand them wings)

so it is kinda the same thing.

I pretty much "finished" collecting years ago. I still love all my ponies and have them on display, but I don't actually add to their numbers. I can't afford it anymore since G1's have essentially disappeared from thrift shops and fleamarkets (that's where the majority of my 300+ collection came from back in the day). I pretty much have all the ones I want anyway, unless it was another Gusty for my army.

I do pick up a couple of the G4 blind bag ponies that I like now and then, so I guess I'm not completely done. They look really nice up on the shelves with the G1's. ^-^

I'm close to being done...
I think there are only 3 more on my G1 want list, and some are common-- like Moonstone. But, I'm not buying them online-- they will be found in person. So that's what keeps my collecting alive. I could probably spend the $15-20 and be done now... but it's more fun to find in person.

I'm also open to more G4s... but, there is none that I want right now. I decided no more pink ponies. So. Yeah.

I would possibly get another takara if I had another possibility... but.. meh. I don't find that too likely.

So... yeah... Since there is only a handful left... I'm so close to being done... meh.

I think I remember hearing that there had been a very small handful of collectors who had every known at the time G1. I want to say the Delaneys fell into that category but one of the older members would know way more than I do.

Yep, my goals change after a period of time so I am "always" collecting but at the same time, not actively collecting since most of my finds are second-hand and I haven't been hunting.

[katrine2309]

Yes, I'm pretty much done with buying ponies - I only wanted to add to my childhood collection - completing it with the mommies and babies I never had and adding the must-haves from my childhood. Of course some other oddball wiggle their way in - just because they are pretty

However, I'm still into collecting - only not ponies, but more puffy stickers, backcards and other accessories. I'm not sure if I'll ever be finished with that...?

[kiwimlp]

I hit that stage a couple of years ago so I took a break from ponies all together.  Then I came back to ponies and discovered accessories... Now I am hooked all over again!

[hathorcat]

Hmmm...I need one more pony, one more barrette, 3 more combs and then yup I am done

[butterflybuttons]

I hit my goals I think it was two years ago , so I made a new harder goal!

[invaderhorizongreen]

For now I have a huge goal list for each and every generation , I am very close to finishing the gen 3.5 wish list.

[LightingElectricDream]

I don't think I will ever be done, Nor will I get all that I want.
But if I get everything I want then i'll get bored with mlp all together.

[girlyponce]

I go through waves... and like a lot of other people have said, I have a goal, reach it, and then wait until I have another! I slow down, but never really stop. First it was Rainbow Dashes... then it was White G3s... then it was Ice Crystal...

[Lorelei Redfern]
