This whole thread makes me seriously glad I'm not a proper Nirvana collector. I mean, if someone has the money and it makes them happy, all power to them, but wow, who would've thought when we were kids and these were in stores that any of them would EVER be the price of a cheap car...

you are so right,  the funny thing about that is that for the SA nirvana, there was a time when those ponies were sold on stores, the price of common toys and now they are just unaffordable toys...

My Nirvana involves UK packaging, so MIB Mountain Boys from my childhood. Without hesitation, all the ponies I'm still missing MIP from my childhood. Not so much the variants.

The only more expensive pony I care about getting eventually is Baby Sugarcake who keeps eluding me and has for 17 years. But I could never countenance spending thousands on a pony, even if I won the lottery.

Though I've often thought that if I had a ton of money I'd love to buy up all these rare expensive ponies and then secret santa them out to the people who really want them but can't afford them. Collecting is a monetised business and whoever can pay the most wins, but sometimes I think people have reasons for wanting a pony that surpasses price, and it would be nice to level the playing field somehow.

It will never happen, though, since I'm a broke student at present and no sign of millions just yet

I showed my sister the peruvian Bow tie/Windy cross, and her comment was, "she doesn't even look that wonky!"

Apparently in my sister's world, expensive ponies ought to look wonky.

Some of the really rare nirvanas can go for upto $10,000.

$4000-6000 is the ceiling price for many super rare ponies including OOAKs, prototypes, Takaras, Venezuelans and South Africans to name a few.

I've seen online listings for so many expensive ponies. One that sticks out, even though wasn't the most expensive, was the Greek Ladybird MIP in the Egg. Anyone remember how much that sold for about?
