I understand, I live in apartment too and all my collections are taking a lot of space ahah
But keep adding ! It's fun and brings so much joy !
 
I have about 1500+/-
My G4 and my Fakie collection though are in storage atm.
 
yeah I stopped counting after the herd grew past a thousand... it's a room full at this point... and it is hard to believe it has been now almost 20 years although I never really thought of myself as a collector until after the G3 stuff came out and I was like "yippeee! an excuse to get my kids toys" that turned into a goal to get every G3 brushable to then discover there were these ponies from other countries = all credit goes to mustbejewel for my first nirvana mexican prince ! After that MDMeet I was definitely hooked 'cause yeah just love we are still finding original ponies in the wild even today AND we now have the most awesome HQG1C crew designing as well as basic fun creating beauties like the celestial ponies so yeah for me the herd is still growing. Don't think I want to count at this point

Oh my gosh, WOW! I think you definitely have the biggest collection of ponies for who’s replied here so far. That’s amazing!

The fun of discovering the other generations is just that: finding ponies we've never seen before in the wild. Makes me want to design a crew of wild original ponies just to have more of them on the Earth.

And lol on the counting. :redheart: :blueheart: :greenheart: <3
 
I've never counted before, and I don't keep track of when I get new ponies, but this thread inspired me to count. Not including plush or Ponyville size or smaller figures, I have 126 ponies, give or take a few. I have 25 plush ponies, which are mostly Build-a-Bears and Softies. My biggest category is G4, with 45 ponies, and then G5, with 35 ponies. I also have some ponies "in processing," ones I have to clean but haven't yet, or ponies that are for some reason not in my room. So the actual number, including ALL of my ponies, may be something over 150. I don't feel like this is a lot but maybe I should.. :rofl:

I keep probably 98% of my ponies in my room, and a good few are in storage. So not every pony is displayed.

On a different note, I feel like many collectors encourage people to keep track of the items they collect in a spreadsheet, a notebook, or just anywhere. Is there any particular reason for this? As I mentioned I don't keep track anywhere and I'm wondering if I should start..

I guess from some point it's just a much eaiser way to keep track of ponies which you have and which you want to get than to keep everything in mind. I might not remember all the pony names, for example, and it's really convenient to look in the checklist to remember :) And you also don't have to count all your ponies each time, if you use something like MLP Merch checklist, it does it for you.
 
I don't remember always what accessories they came with. My first spreadsheet was done when I was a kid to keep track of those, back in the G1 days before wiki's. Then with new additions and extraneous bits like Blind Bag ponies, I sometimes can't remember their names, so this helps. And sometimes you have to ask, is that pony Sunshine, Sunlight, Starlight, Starshine, Sunbright, or Lightshine???
and for things like ... OH YEAH, I have one of those tiny mommy charms ponies around here somewhere.

Accessories are fun…I have so many but, for the most part, I can keep track. I have inventory lists on my phone too though and that helps - you never know when you will run across ponies and/or accessories in the wild.

Wow! Thats a great collection! I myself keep a numbered google doc with photos of all of my ponies and their sets. I also do this for my other collections such as American girl and Barbie. I find it really helps to know what you have and to see everything in an overview.
 
I'm actually not sure. I estimate it in the higher hundreds but it could be more. I have a room that is filled with nothing but MIB G3 and merch. I also have some early MOC G4 in there with the giant light-up Celestia cut out from Target. My G1s and G2s are all in several bins just waiting for me to get another room for ponies... or a bigger house :lolpony:

I have almost every US G1 and I collect the variants and almost all US G3s along with hoards and hoards of baits, doubles, triples, quadruples etc etc I can't wait to get them displayed again
