Ah, poor collector's pose :,D Honestly I kinda feel it too, but on the other hand, I get why they'd keep re-releasing them.
The first time they ever made the retro collectors ponies was with the 25th anniversary, during G3. I remember pretty clearly, seeing them on the shelf and begging my mother to get them for me, and only barely managing to get her to agree to it. It was a really big deal for me when I saw the original six ponies standing before me for the first time. As a young collector those were my first ever G1 ponies and it was a big deal for me to get the ones that started it all, even if I did later realize they were remakes.
