Hey everypony, I've been curious to ask you all a question; I know when we were kids growing up with the G1s (or G2s, or G3s... however old you are I guess) we wanted ALL the ponies. So when the G3s came out, a lot of us went bonkers and bought them all. It seems like a lot are being sold off in the past 5 years, and even now there are tons for sale super cheap.
So, knowing this, I was wondering, are any of you being more selective in the ponies that you bring into your home with this new generation (G4/Friendship is Magic?) Or are you just along for the crazy, fun ride?
I for one am struggling with the excitement that stirs around new ponies (it's been years since we've had new characters and of course all the new body shapes, etc. is just totally overwhelming in addition to the new characters and colors and symbols!) Then, on the other hand, I don't have much room for new ponies despite their small stature, and I also don't have a lot of extra money.
So, in conclusion, are you doing anything to limit the amount of ponies that you'll purchase from this new line, or are you just letting it all wash over you and taking them all in in a flurry of excitement?
(Of course, bar the fact that barely any of them are in stores yet, talk about what you plan to do.) :945:
So far I've been fairly selective in my wishlist, and I've only bought 5 of the 6 main ponies. (Most of those were special treats to myself, like a Birthday gift, or a prize for reaching a goal. So I didn't just walk in, pick 5 ponies off the shelf and go, go go! like I used to in the G3 days. Well, that's not true, I only bought 4 ponies at once and that was only the one time. I guess I've always been fairly careful about new ponies.)
