For me it wasn't a pony that started my all out obsession with collecting as many ponies as I possibly can:LOL: It was a shirt of all things......
Ok lets start at the beging, I was a kid in the 80s so G1 was the big thing obviously back then and we had a fair few ponies between my sister and I. We had Sunlight, Moonstone, Skydancer, Starshine, Starflower, 2x Flutterby, 2x baby Glory, 2x baby Firefly, BBE Licketysplit, another BBE I can't remember too well I think she wad blue?, TE Sweetstuff, TE Galexy and 4 summerwings I can't remember the names of:blushpony: I'm quite sure there was one more but memory escapes me.........
Anyway we kept most of our ponies out of sentimentality and the idea that our own girls one day can play with them, needless to say I had two boys but they did get joy out of them and my two summer wings went to my best friend of 22years' daughter, who is now 4 and loves the ponies to bits.
But I didn't even think of collecting or know there were people out there collecting ponies. Untill one of my friends rocked up at my oldest son's birthday party with a My Little Pony fan club 83 shirt on! I loved it!:shockpony: I asked here where she got it and ofcause if she'd mind if I got one too Lol! My mom ended up buying the shirt for me and one for my sister too. The shirt had two ponies on the picture, one being the 80s Applejack and the other I couldn't remember the name of so I googled it......... dum, dum, dum! A whole new world opened up for me! And before I knew it I landed up here at the MLPTP, and I spent so much time here just lurking in the background that I decided I might aswell just join and stop kidding myself....... I want ponies and I want them for keeps Lol!
Well I recently baught myself a baby Moondancer wich I guess you could say was my grail pony since I was little, and I just LOVE her! And I baught two other G1s aswell, one of wich is up for sale at the mo, and some G4 McDonnalds ponies. My hubby thinks I have gone mental, but I convinced him it's no more weird than his pipe collection
And that is my story:smilepony:
