Sometime around the good old days... ...*grumbles* Before they moved all the best cartoons to Toon Disney. Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Talespin, and *dreamy sigh* the best of the best, Darkwing Duck... Yah, I have no clue why Disney had a MLP show on there...but then, I guess they're just strange. I mean, what possessed them to make Gummi Bears? "Oooh, they drink the Gummiberry Juice and then they can bounce super high!" My mom says I used to watch that...

I have no idea, Spooky. We do not got the targets in my country... LOL, Gummibears! I don´t think Disney Channel is that old, though...but I dunno. 'Cause we have had it since it came to sweden, and that was, like to years ago

Oh, it's been around for as long as I can remember. So at least since I was 3, maybe 2. So I'd say it's been around in America for about 10 years. Yah, I saw a Ribbon Wishes at Target a couple days ago, but it was the first time I'd seen it so I'd consider it new. Somebody PLEASE let me know if they find a Flippity Flop. She's up on the Hasbro site, but so are the new Seaside Celebrations(the three that come with the little animals) and I'm pretty sure those aren't in stores...

Yea. I remember when I was really little, I faintly remember watching a MLP episode. Now this was when I was very, very little, so I barely remember it! I can't really remember the episode I was watching. It was either "The End of Flutter Valley", or "The Glass Princess". But darn it, I can't remember!!! *sigh* Oh maybe someday I'll know. *sigh* -.-

*sighs* I've just been on ebay. I'm too young to order that stuff on my own, and my dad is less than involved in my pony obsession... So I go on there every now and then, marvel over the low prices, admire the pretty little ponies, and get myself nice and depressed. Fun fun. I don't know why I do this to myself - like how I always go and read ghost stories, even though I always regret it later. I'm too superstitious to sleep well after giving myself a good scare, but I do it anyway...*sighs again* Maybe I just like torturing myself.

How come I remember so little of MLP and so much of Darkwing Duck? Maybe cause we own the video and I used to be a serious tomboy... Ah well. But my memory's bizarre - I watched Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers with my big brother way before the MLP series, but I remember it much more clearly. That and Space Jam - but then, I did watch that one like a thousand times...

LOL! Aww, maybe someday you'll be able to get a pony off Ebay someday! Or perhaps someday you'll find a G1 at a flea market or a thrift store! ^^ I hear people who go to them and they seem to find ponies! Though how come I can't have as much luck as those other people? Oh well. Perhaps someday.......

I've been to flea markets. No luck. I actually came out and asked a guy about ponies, and he showed me some plastic horses. Me: Um, do you have anything...like...multicolored? Guy: Like pinto? Me: No...like pastels. That was exceedingly embarassing. Then he told me to come back, because at home he had "pink horses, purple horses - all kinds of colored horses". But I came the next day and he only had an old cheap rubber horse that he was asking $40 for. And it was brown. What happened to the pinks and purples?

By saying I'd come back and pretending to be suddenly interested in a table nearby. It was an old man, so I didn't want to be rude.

Hahaha, table nearby. XD Yea, I see a few fakies now and then when I go to flea markets and thrift stores. If only I'd see more ACTUAL MLPs instead of fakies...........*sigh* oh well.

I'm wierd though. Fakies can never compare, but I adore baby ponies so much if I see a fakie set with baby ponies included I go ahead and get them - even though they always come with those nasty-looking, cutey-pie or hippo-ish adult fakies... Or I buy them for the accessories. Or anything decent looking - they had these pink, purple, and blue flocked ones at the Dollar Tree and I always talk myself into buying stuff there because "Hey - it's only a dollar!" Anyhow, those were smallish and kinda cute so I'm thinking they'd be halfway decent if I made them some flutterwings. After all - that plastic could have wound up some decent, popular toy. It's not the poor toys' fault the companies make them so hideous. If I see any potential in them I buy them.
