I always look back so fondly on when I discoverd MLPs and I wondered what is everyones first or most prominent memory of MLP? Or some of your favorite MLP memories if not the firsts?
I cant remember which was the exact first time I saw one but I can remember the feeling. They were the most magical thing little 3-4 year old me had ever seen! Finding a pony among the hundreds of tables at large flea markets was such an adventure!
It always will be but back then, I was born in the weird in between when G1 had ended and G2 hadn't started yet. There werent any ponies at the store or information to find about them. All I knew is they were my little ponies. Every time my mom and I went to a flea market I would always think, What kind of pony will i find today? I had no idea what kinds hasbro had released, it was always a surprise.
One fun memory is when I was a little older, about 6. We had found a really cluddered thift shop where everything was stacked on top of each other there weren't any tables, just piles! There was a sign on a wall saying " If you cant reach it you cant have it" hahaha it was bizzare. I remember running from my mom in search of ponies and eventually squeezed my way through two old china cabinets to find a glass case that was crooked, kind of propped sideways on a pile of things. There before me in that crooked cabinet was a display of ponies! There was a Medley, Moondancer, Skydancer, Majesty, and a few more I dont remember.
Needless to say little me lost it haha. We were able to get two I think. We couldnt afford more. We went back every pay day to buy another! I also got a Clydesdale horse that had been sitting below the case. He has been a long time friend to my ponies! I dont remember if we ever bought all the ponies but we got most of them. I went back as a teenager to find the same glass case and it was empty. So they must have all gotten homes if not mine haha. I got Moondancer, Majesty, SkyDancer, and Medley from that case.
