I don't think I could own MOC ponies

I am the same way. I don't have any and don't plan on spending the money. What fun is there in owning something you can hold and admire and do stuff with? LOL My R2 though he is all about MOC with his stuff. So there are so many different types of collectors out there.

I don't think I could ever own a MOC pony. The temptation to take them out and play with them would be too great. I would be committing a collectors cardinal sin. I love messing with their hair. And can't wait to get some pony wear for the ones I have.

I'm right there with ya. I couldn't stand to have an unopened pony. I'd just have to release him or her from his or her cardboard and plastic prison.

This is exactly what my R2 does. He buys one to play with and one to store away. I think he thinks when he is 80 he will be a billionaire from his toys. LOL It sure is hard to store the MIB MOC toys without them getting damaged. A friend gave me some MOC dolls I had when I was a child and their bubbles just literally popped off one day from shrinking due to age. Oh well. I kept them flat at the top of my closet. I have no idea what happened, but I did have loose ones of these dolls.

I don't know, I see a trend in society to become more and more minimalistic. People buy these huge modern homes but there isn't much in them. To me it is an open space of unhappiness. More and more people are going this way. I really feel that in 40 years if we are still on this planet this may be a norm more than the 70's clutter way of living that I am so use to. Uggg There doesn't seem to be any more of a common sense of appreciation for older things and passed down items like in my childhood. It is still there, but just not in the number say when I was a kid. So, some of us have to save the toys and dolls for the generations of people that don't care but someday will find value in antiques again. I will say, "come, look at this 100 year old blue blob, it use to be a My Little Pony but due to age it has melted down to this hard mass of goo and symbol." Picture them all ooooooo and aaaaaaaaaa over the melted pony with sticky hair. Baaaa

LOL the blue blob goes with beware of the blob. :D Anyhow I know what you mean on that. Mimimalistic is kinda boring. :yawn: I would try to be hopeful and say there will be other collectors. However, that is depressing.

What does R2 mean? I have to admit that I like the idea of being a minimalist and have been parting with things and cleaning things out. But when it comes to things I appreciate, I allow there to be some give. I also love holding onto vintage items from childhood. We grew up having the fisher price barn that had the door that "moo'd" when you opened it. My SIL, who hunts down vintage toys for her toystore found it for me and now it is an item for my boys to play with and appreciate. Always under close supervision, of course. And I still have my Miss Piggy Dress Up doll from when I was a kid. They don't make things the way they used to. I plan to hold onto some iconic toys that my boys currently play with so they will have them when they are adults.
 
R2 is my husband's nickname. He is a Star Wars freak so, when I talk about him I call him R2. Hope that helps. @AbrielleRose
I had the Fisher Price Barn that Moo'd along with the blue house with yellow roof, the garage and I wanted the school so bad. Never got that. My cousin had the school and the hospital. R2 had the town, the garage and the airport. We grew up in the late 60's early 70's so we had the masonite versions of these. Man I want them all back. I have some of the pieces but not the playsets.
 
Me either. I'd rip those suckers open and recycle the box. I'm eeebil!:devil: At least I would with G3s, they're pretty cheap and I do so want the surf shop and wishing well set.

Couldn't afford anything older.

I agree

I don't have any and probably never will unless they happened to have some at local swapmeet or something
 
I never really leave any thing I buy in the packages.

I had the air port, the school, the house with the garage, two of the barns, the town, a boat, and the sesame street apartment thing. I played with allot of the things my mom and her siblings did when they were kids, and we still have most of that stuff.
