This is all very good advice. Honestly, and I don't mean to sound harsh, you just need to learn to tell yourself no. I always guilt trip myself out of ponies. XD I just ask myself a bunch of questions. Do I really love it? Is it something that I can't get again? Is the price for this even a good...

I think that sunfading might be your only hope. Permanent marker is something that's not really going to come off without sunfading. That being said though, you would have to be VERY precise at covering up her eyes and eyelashes. Sunfading will fade those too.

If you're going to be putting them in ziploc baggies, DO NOT seal them. That's a sure fire way for them to start getting mold. Just leave them open, and if you can find a couple of silica packets (those little packets that are in shoe boxes and whatnot) toss those in the container. That will...

Everything you said Phekzhen. Also, everything that darcerin said. Seriously, death threats over a kid's show! It's unbelievable. TippyToes, your flippant attitude to death threats is troubling at best. It doesn't matter if these are empty threats. In this world, you can't take things like that...

I agree with everything you said, skyrocketneko. I also avoided watching FiM for quite a while, but now I really enjoy watching it. :D I'm willing to give the new show a shot. It might be terrible, but it also might be really good. I think everybody is jumping the gun on hating it. Plus, I'm...

*ahem* SAAAAAAAM!!! XD I have missed you my dear! Back to the topic at hand, I'm really bummed that they haven't had any winter/X-mas themed ponies too. I've always been a nut for holiday ponies, and this line is really underwhelming for those. Fingers crossed that something will change.

I personally suggest plastic bins. Something like this: Sterilite 28-Qt White Storage Box - Walmart.com They're really nice for loose ponies. Just pack them in standing up and kind of wrap their hair around their necks and put their tail between the legs. It keeps the hair fairly nice. If you...

Nope, it's a fakie. :) Dollymix ponies are roughly the size of blindbags. They're teeny-weeny! Also, what a great haul! Lucky on the G1 babies.

I guess I never realized that as a graphic designer I'm required to design everything for myself! Thank you! Apparently my (paying) graphic design job isn't enough- I need to design ponies too. Consider me learned.

Umm... I'm also a graphic designer too, so yeah, that argument still doesn't fly with me. Yes, it is all about money. Hasbro is a business. Their goal is to make money. Kids aren't quite as picky as collectors, so Hasbro continues to make what they do. Also, they're not called "cutie marks"...

Welcome to collecting. Hasbro is acknowledging us more now than they ever have before. I would argue that collectors make up a tiny majority of who is buying toys these days. Yes, G1 did have variety and better quality. But here's the deal: Hasbro charged $5 back then per pony. Hasbro still...

My cat is the reason that I have my ponies in another room that he's not allowed into. XD I didn't think we would bother my ponies, until I found him chomping on a baity G3. He thought it was a toy for him! My advice is to fill your shelves. My cat used to crawl around on my book shelves. It...

Exactly what Skeen said. There's always fakies of the babies if you really want one. They're much more affordable. (I want to say around $30?) Love Takaras, hate the price tag. XD

ROFL at that video. XD I think I've actually been in the thrift stores that are in the video too! Goodwill Outlet in Seattle is CRAZY. Good deals to be had if you're willing to (literally) dig. Just make sure you wear gloves... maybe a hazmat suit too.

Holy cow, awesome haul! AMAZING find on the seaponies! And I believe you may have the entire set of birthflowers. (I can't see the symbols though, so that's just guessing based on hair/body colors.) That's impressive. :D

My husband is supportive of my collecting, but he has never watched the show or bought me ponies. (Except for the WalMart blind bag collection for Xmas.) He'll wait paitiently while I did through stuff at thrift stores too. I kind of wish I could get him to watch FiM because I think he would...

FantasticFirefly is correct about UPS and FedEx. I learned this the hard way. I had to ship a small package to England and ended up paying around $25 (or more?) to ship it through FedEx. The only reason to ship through either of them would be if you needed a package to get there really quickly...

I display my ponies first by gen, then by color within each gen. :D I use risers for my ponies, and the ones that I have in the picture below are just long, narrow cardboard boxes. I've also built mine from scraps of cardboard before. I've also seen people build them out of foam core. You can...

I cram them into boxes and try to forget about them. XD I'm not big into accessories, so eventually I get tired of them and sell everything off.

I swear that this will be the year that I get myself a G1 Minty! Since I started collecting, she's been number one on my wants list, and I never seem to get her. This will be the year! XD
