... and the ones who got away

[Starfall]

What is ponies do you really, really REALLY regret not buying when you saw them?

I wish I had chosen to buy rollerskating Hip Hop instead of Melody. Way cooler colours! I still remember being in Woolworths with my mum, choosing!

A toy dealer who used to go to a Kent boot sale had a Euro taf Milky Way. It was about £4, more than I was willing to pay at the time, and I didn't know how rare she was. Gah!

Type A G4 Minty for $50  I don't know why I hesitated

The Great Hair ponies...ok I was long past the age where ponies were a toy of choice and when they were on shelves I was far from a collector. But the thought that these were on Woolworths shelves when I was wondering around and I didnt buy them still makes me antsy

G3 Birthflowers!!! I only got December but I should have picked them all up! Now I'm having to pay 3 or 4 times as much as the store price

I also regret not putting in a bid several hours ago for a Starry Wings. She sold for $20, gah! I should have bid

As a kid trying to get the mail order babies through mail order and being to slow on the draw...

[achab1984]

Not getting all of the mail order baby ponies. We sent in for them and they were all sold out. That was the last of the mail order ponies for G1 then

A fresh off the card Greek orange Sunlight. I went back to the sales thread so many times, trying to talk myself into it. Then she was gone. I haven't seen another for sale since, and if I ever do it'll be tons more expensive than that one. It was probably my only chance... and she's a grail too

Lily Lightly was one that got away from me.  When I first saw her I thought she was gimmicky and not worth it.  As I saw her in stores she began to grow on me and when I finally decided to get her she was gone.  I did get her years later, but I still wish I had bought her that first time I saw her.

yeah I just bought one and I might as well have given them my first born (okay that's dramatic but still)

I regret not buying the first one I saw on ebay.... but I'm glad I finally got one.

I regret missing auctions on ebay all the time... cause I forget they were happening.... but mostly brillito flutterbye...

Almost any of the rare ponies that were on ebay when it first started! But the thing I truly remember regretting is the set of mountain boys for $300. I remember my Mom and I both laughing at that outrageous price... now that's what I'll end up paying for the last 2 that I want. Sigh. If only I could send a note to my past self.

oh boy you guys are going to laugh at me.  i had a chance to get the 2 sister ponies from mail order when i was a kid. you know scribles and dabbles but i told me mom "no, there hair goes the wrong way"

totally stupid not to get them, however i did get the rama lama instead  LOL

Fashion Style Applejack x-x

Funny, I was remembering an Ebay auction from like 2001, with Baby Bowtie, Baby Appljack and Baby Lemondrop for $10 >.< I also remember one time at a flea market I passed up a whole bunch of perfect So Soft ponies because I was afraid they were like stuffed animals and filled with germs. >.<
