Hi,
My name is Amanda (Violet Verse is my OC). I was a pony fan as a young girl, but I fell away from it (and my mom threw all my vintage ponies away *sob sob*). I was re-introduced to the series with the current generation (G4, Friendship is Magic) and I started collecting the brushables and Funko figures. That lead me to Facebook groups for selling/buying/trading ponies so I could get some of the ones I couldn't find, then I started seeing all the pretty G1s and G3s around, and I got a good deal on a couple...and it just kinda snowballed from there!
My collection is small-ish, I've got a bunch of G3s and G4s, but only 4 G1s (two more in the mail, on their way!). My favorites are G1 Gusty, G3 Starsong, and G4 Rarity.
I came to the arena to trade my duplicates away, get some new ponies, and find some of the harder to find ponies for my swap partner over in one of the Facebook groups, so I'll probably be hitting up the G1 Buy forum about them as soon as this goes down.
