I have made the possibly bad decision to start collecting G3's on the side, (want to store them away for Emma -daughter- for later on if shes interested .... wish my mum done that) ... anyway i decided to make myself a G3 checklist .... ha easier said then done, i just want a list of the ponies not plushes etc etc . i found a great checklist that included everything right down to the toys you get with happy meals. So in my wisdom i thought i'd take what i want off there and make my own custom checklist ..... well i had no idea how many times some ponies were issued and reissued some have multiple poses some dont it's so confusing ... i think this will take me a wee bit longer then first thought. Thanks for letting me vent everyone hugs skaifey

That's really nice of you to be planning ahead for Emma. My future children will need their own ponies, I don't think I could share the ones I have!
It's ponies like Minty and Pinkie Pie (especially Pinkie Pie!) who are a pain. It's only going to get harder this year with only 7 pony characters being released. By the end of G3 (let's us pray that never happens though), there could very well be 50 different Pinkie Pies. There are a lot of G1 ponies but at least they have different names and cutie marks, identifying them is a breeze compared to poses, accessories, bonuses.
On that, my mum said to my aunt the other day "I didn't realize they made that many ponies" in regards to my collection, which is only at about 140. I could have died laughing, imagine if she saw a pony room! If only she knew.

Yeah, they went NUTS with G3's. There theory is that little kids don't remember their names, so instead of releasing new ones, they just keep releasing the old ones again and again. I don't know what I'm going to do in regards to my G3 collection. Do I want 1 of each pony, and it doesn't matter which variant they are, or do I want ALL of them.

This is probably common knowledge as it was on the MLPTP but here is a link to the G3 re-releases encyclopedia. It has alot of info on all the nuances that accompany hasbro getting lazy. The multiple releases are disappointing and very difficult to keep track of. mlp.imagesofher.com/
