(c) Dude, just give me the cash!

How do your family and friends feel about your pony habit...or are you still in the collecting closet? my friends are good, family thinks its time i should stop, but no stopping me now.

Do you ever see yourself *not* collecting anymore? What do you think would make you stop? - maybe when i'm 50 or something it would seem a bit silly then.

Are you a customizer? If not, would you ever? - yes but only to make alternate birthflowers and they were all from common ponies.

FILL IN THE BLANK
I would like other collectors to think of me as.......competition LOL's

I really wish that Hasbro would......think of new ponies and not variations of pinkie pie!!!!!!

My best eBay deal was.....winter snow for $3.00 on a buy it now.

My best thriftstore/fleamarket/garage sale find was....alternate birthflower june for $1 followed closely by alternate birthflower may at $2.50 mind you this was 10 years ago!!

When I was new, I didn't know any better that...brook kutik was a scammer and i fell for it

I think that the most underappreciated pony is......Cotton candy
because......maybe thats where they got the idea for pinkie pie hehehehe

What sets me apart as a collector is....i'm in australia!!!!!!!

And finally
Mr. Moochick Friend or foe? friend of course, he gave us paradise estate hehehehe
