Writer's Block: Collector's piece ...

I currently collect bird sightings. I had the impression initially that it would be a cheap hobby. I was wrong there, but at least it contributes to science.

Of course, my most impressive collection would have to be my My Little Ponies. When I was a kid the 60+ ponies and load of accessories/merchandise was impressive enough, but after I started collecting again in 1999 the collection swelled to around 500 ponies and all the stuff took up an entire room at my parents house.

Then the space and money ran out due to me moving out of home, hence the whole birding thing.

I didn't realise you had that may ponies! Whoah. That certainly puts my collection to shame, although admittedly I have only bough 3 ponies in the last six months as with my terrible salary, and now no salary, can't really justify it.

Soon though!

Do you have the holy grail - Mimic?

No. The Twinkle Eyes are one of my favourite sets and she's the only one of them I don't have. Admittedly it's because I refuse to pay over $10 for her. Sure, they're cute, but they are still only bits of plastic and I won't pay stupid amounts for them.

Yep, I am the same. If I really want it I will pay up to about $15 for them, otherwise if someone out=bids me I will let it go.

I saw a Mimic on ebay in a bidding war at $350. Now thats a precious piece of pony.

I love the wtinkle eyed ponies too. I have Masquarade with a haircut , Tic tac To and sweetie but really want Gingerbread and Fizzy :)

I have a soft spot for TAF ponies and Sweetheart Sisters too. And family ponies.

See, this is why I need a better job - I need to buy lots more ponies!

My mouth fell open at 60+! That's amazing. I don't know where to begin on the 500 - I didn't know there were that many!!
