Awhile back I think the web master to the My Little Pony Scrapbook site asked me if I was a member here and I said no. I didn't join here back then since I was hoping I would get the answers I needed from another MLP forum, but despite welcoming older generation topics. Older stuff in talk really doesn't get replies. This site looks more open minded towards stuff not solely done in recent years.
I've been into My Little Pony since before I can remember. My parents started buying me the toys back in '82 and I've been hooked ever since. Unknowing this fact in the early 90's, I still even looked for the toys for sale for a while before giving up. It wasn't until the burst in popularly of G4 that it was brought to my attention MLP had returned. Some how G2 and G3 pasted me by without my knowledge.
When my parents started buying me My Little Pony toys when I was little it was as gifts to make me feel better after surgeries. This year alone I've undergone six surgeries because of numerous health problems. I must say I love eBay when it comes to grabbing ponies I either lost when I was a kid, or getting ones new for me owning. So far this year I've nearly doubled my collection and have added in one G2 pony, a few G3 ponies, and a few G4 ponies. Of course I've also been adding in more G1s.
I'm hope this forum can give me advice on cleaning & repairing my G1 ponies. Also hopefully feedback on fan art & fan fiction no one else where seems to care for.
