Hi There...
« on: April 22, 2014, 07:50:13 PM »
Hello MLP world! This is where I introduce myself since I'm new to the forum.

I am in my early 30s and have been collecting ponies for a long time. In high school I decided that I needed to get all of the ponies I had when I was little that had disappeared mysteriously (lost, stolen by neighborhood kids, or thrown out of moving cars as a child, you know how it is). This meant finding Apple Jack, Moonstone, & Pinwheel. I also had to acquire 6 sets of the Lil' Litters (all the cats and two of the dogs) because somehow I lost all of them in a room remodel. I haven't quite accomplished this yet. :/

After I got the ponies I needed to satisfy my nostalgia I decided I just couldn't stop there and proceeded to collect all of the unicorn ponies with glittery symbols. All of the twinkle-eyed unicorns except for Mimic.  I went to college and stopped collecting for about 10 years and now here I am back collecting.

I am currently in the process of completing a Summer & Windy Wing collection and am starting to get the flat-feet ponies from year one. I'm tempted to get the rest of the rainbow ponies too because I love that look. Starflower and Pinwheel are my absolute favorites.

At some point I want to get a display case just so I can display them without getting dust all over them and to avoid too much UV exposure.

I suppose that's about it.

It's good to be part of a MLP community again.

Welcome to the Arena! That is how I started collection too - "just finding the ones I had in childhood" and then eventually to "all the ponies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :)

I hope you have fun around the boards. And good luck completing your wingers.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

Seriously! I'm already having to hold myself back. My boyfriend and I have a joke about buying things impulsively and we like to say: "It was a DEAL, Honey!"

He buys Pathfinder stuff and terrain and I buy Ponies. I'm trying to buy just certain ones.... but... they are all just sooo pretty! I'm starting to want to get customs and gorgeous rehairs.  :blink: Never thought that would happen. lol

Welcome to the Arena! I used to think I could just get a certain few too, mostly G1s and G3s since I didn't care for G2s and G4s. Now I've found myself getting a decent collection of 2s and 4s to go with the 1s and 3s. It never stops! xD
