"Pony Generation Purists" Does this make you cringe?

Yikes, I answered yes to 2 questions. It appears that the G3 line has finally won me over after all. I still display my G1s and G3s in different places and I would always sort the accessories into generation piles though. I might have quite a few G3's sneaking into my herd but that doesn't mean I have to collect their accessories as well ;)
 
1. Are your G1s and your G3s are displayed on completely opposite shelves, with no mixing of accessories or even artwork? :help:
I don't even own any G2's or G3's. I don't count the ones I've gotten in lots that are only here until I can find someone to take them off my hands.

2. Do you get a funny feeling in your tummy when you browse Ebay and see a great lot of G1s for sale, but then you spot that lone G3, dirty, ratty hair, laying right next to that Mail Order G1? :nodno:
It sort of irritates me, cuz I start thinking that I'm going to have another pony poser that I need to get rid of soon.

3. You freak out (in a bad way) if you get a message from someone on Craigslist saying they have a boatload of ponies for you, and you meet them 50 miles away from your house, only to find out they're all G3s? Rare ones mixed in, granted, but not even a single G1 Moondancer or even a piece of a Pretty Parlor? :tribe:
Well, I would probably try to get some proof that they were G1 ponies before I drove any distance, but yeah, I'd be pretty ticked off. I wouldn't even know if the G3's were rare, I can barely ID Pinkie Pie.

5. Do you find yourself sorting accessories from a lot you got from the Trading Post when you realize the first act of sorting is not "pony wear, combs, barrettes," but "G1, G2, G3?"
Yep. I have a G1 keep pile, and a "what the heck am I going to do with this?" pile.

Oh, and I get irrationally angry when people list G3's in the G1 category on eBay. :eevil: Sort of embarassing.

I don't collect G3's. I have a few of the Comic Con ones and Fair ponies, but I don't display them.

Naw, I give the G3's I find to my niece!

Since I don't collect G3s, I'd be mildly annoyed, to say the least.

4. Your little sister came over and you notice she left Clever Clover next to Sunny Daze? Get outta town! Are you fast as lightening as you move her back to the appropriate spot with the other G2s? :ipmimscs:
Absolutely!

Do this, too. I put all the G3 stuff to the side to give to my niece.


I'm definitely a G1 purist!

I never paid it any attention

Those G1s just have so much personality... I mean, really, they just *do*. So I figure the 2s and 3s would benefit from some of that, and they mingle at their little 24/7 pony party in this house because I hate to pack them away!!

Oh yeah, maybe it has something to do with shelf space.... Hahaha.

Now, if we had a pony room, I think I'd spend hours sorting them; one day by color, another day by "sub genre" (sparkle ponies, etc) another by year, maybe another by pose... making families, or scenarios... Sometimes mingling generations, others not. I dunno, it's so much more fun than cleaning closets. I think not having had them as childhood toys and coming to them only recently (and late in life) (!!) makes me more open to the mingling. (I get more upset with covers of Beatles songs by new artists, ya know? lol)
