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.
