Hey everybody!
........can't believe it took me this long to make an account here.
My name is Nikki, and I am a child of the 80's. I was the caretaker of a huge MLP herd in my childhood - just looking at the compilations of photos of the entire G1 catalog, I can pull out and recognize which ones used to be mine.
I still have SS Magic Star and 4-Speed, pretty well played with and with matching haircuts.
I started re-collecting when I moved out of my home town my sophomore year of college. I did a whole slew of adult things like getting a cell phone, a checking account...and a debit card. And then I got myself into trouble. I discovered online auctions and paypal, and managed to amass myself a pretty good haul of ponies in a fairly short period of time.
...and then I had to sell them all back because I was broke. Lesson learned (I hope).
I pulled my measley collection of 10 ponies out from under the bed the other week, after snagging a bag of 3 at a yard sale for $2 (Peachy, Medley, and Seawinkle!). I'm looking forward to raiding a friend's attic for her and her sisters' childhood ponies, and I recently negotiated a questionably awesome find on Craigslist.
I hope to take some good pics of the herd soon, but I'll share this pic of my yard sale find after they'd had a good bath and brushing.
P.S. I do have a thread up in the General Discussion for a price check on my Craigslist find - if anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it!
