Greetings! Introduction here. I've been pulling my (and my sister's, but I'm the honorary curator :3 ) old G1s out a few at a time and attempting to take inventory of exactly which ponies I have before going bonkers trying to acquire more (note "trying"). I'm of the understanding that some of the members of my herd are rare/HTF, but I'm overall pretty ignorant of my collection's status (I mean, it's really incomplete, so it's clearly nowhere good enough!), so I figured I'd share my listing-in-progress. The house is a nasty clutter right now, so there's no real good way to display anyone at the moment; if I do any serious photo shoots, it will have to be... later.
Here are some; more to come!

I've never been a "serious" collector. I mean, I enjoy getting a pony that I don't already have, but I'm not exceedingly picky about their shape. Mint or near-mint are wasted on me, I think; display condition all the way to "bait for some, but not beyond all hope for others" is just fine. Damage lends personality to a toy, IMO -- gives it a history and an identity. I still love my old MLPs, regardless of how beat up they are.
I fondly remember picking up lots of additional ponies at rummage sales and a local flea market back in the day (how I got my Mimic, in fact). I do wonder if, in the time that's passed since then (early 90s?), it would be worth the time and energy attempting to hunt down a dwindling number of G1s this way, or if it's a job best left to devoted bargain hunters. Finding a gigantic pile of G1s in real life on the cheap sounds tantalizing and amazing, but how likely is that to actually happen? Well, at the very least, I do want to take a special trip to one of NJ's big flea markets (which is some 2 hours away from here), just because it's been so long since I've been to one and I don't get out enough.
