I found my home.
« on: July 25, 2014, 10:38:44 AM »
Greetings and salutations,

I learned about this site at my very first MLP convention, which was in Nashville earlier this month.  I've been a pony fan for three decades and can't believe I didn't know this site existed.  What an awesome place you have here!  :-D 

A little about me:  I've been collecting ponies since I was four, and by my teens I had well over 200.  Then I sold nearly all of them at a garage sale for $30 (which was a lot to me at the time).  D'oh!  All G1's of course.  I've spent the last fifteen years re-buying as many as I can, mostly via ebay.  I was ecstatic when the G3's were released, because they were so very similar to the G1's.  My favorite type of pony is the So-soft flocked pony, and I dearly, dearly wish Hasbro would make more.

My husband convinced me to attend the Pony Fair this year, and I had the most marvelous time.  Summer and the rest of the staff did an absolutely amazing job, and it was one of the funnest vacations I've ever had.  Kudos to Summer and the gang!   :iconclap:


And now, just because I happened to discover these a minute ago, here is a parade of happy ponies...   :joy:

Welcome to the Arena!  Glad you found it, the MLP Fair in Nashville was my very first as well!  I had such a blast, truly hoping I can go to the next one as well! 

Looking forward to seeing you around the Arena!

Thank you everyone for the kind welcome!   :biggrin:  Everyone is so friendly and there are ponies everywhere! I must be in paradise.  ^.^

If you didn't make it to the Pony Fair, you really must try next year.  Summer did a spectacular job, and the people and atmosphere is just so incredibly exhilarating.  Plus, Hasbro had a lot of their new ponies there to see, I admit, seeing those water globe ponies made me want them even more.   :yippee:

Thank you guys!  :-D  I'm so happy to be around pony people.  I have toy collector friends, but none of them are MLP collectors.  I don't suppose there are any MN - Twin Cities G1 fans around?  I'd love to talk ponies and share my collection with someone other than my very tolerant husband.   ^.^

Thank you MoondancerMilkyWay! :-D  Me too!  I'll hit my 30-yr mark this year.  If you can, you should totally attend the Pony Fair next year.  Summer does an amazing job, and it's so amazing to be surrounded by all those ponies.   :-D
