This was a rough summer for this site. We were attacked several times and had all sorts of outage issues because of it. While we still have no idea why this of the entire Priced Nostalgia family of sites was targeted (Did we get caught up in some kind of anti-brony backlash? No idea.), we are fine now and the site is good as new. To celebrate, we’re having a…
Yay The Site Isn’t Busted Anymore giveaway!
This contest is open to everyone internationally as well as in the USA and is super easy. To enter, just leave a comment below that answers the following question:
When did you first realize that you were a My Little Pony fan?
Easy right? Comments and replies to comments both count as entries. No matter how many time you comment, it only counts as one entry. We’ll use a random number generator to pick the winners at the end. (Also, if you see me commenting, don’t worry, I’m not eligible. :-))
Here’s the only tricky part: We won’t pick a winner until there are at least 15 unique user comments below so make sure to pass this link around to your fellow pony friends to make sure we get enough. If we pass 30 unique user comments, I’ll pick a second winner. (Don’t worry, everyone who’s entered before that point will still be eligible for the second drawing so the sooner you enter, the better your chances.)
The winners of this contest will receive…
- A DVD of the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic episode The Ticket Master
- A euro-style My Little Pony MLP oval sticker
- A euro-style Friendship is Magic FiM oval sticker
My comment as far as MLP goes is that I’ve been a fan since around 1982. Hehe, shows how old I am. 🙂 I still have a bunch of the old ponies.
I’ve been a fan since 1993 or so. Unfortunately, I had to make do with second-hand g1s until I started collecting g3s when they came out 😀
I’ve been a fan since the beginning (back in the 80s), still have all my ponies and now I’m watching them with my 9yr old daughter 🙂
I apologize if this is too long but… here’s my story. ^^ So, as my name suggests, I am a brony and it was only recently that I actually discovered that I was a brony. lol. I am a youtube surfer (it’s relevant! give it time) and I tend to subscribe to other users that seem to like the general things that I do (it really cuts down on searching). Well, one day, one of my sub…scribee? One of the people I follow liked a video called PONIES The Anthology by ZephyrStar. So, naturally I clicked it.
And it was amazing.
Beyond amazing even.
I just couldn’t stop myself from watching it over a few times. I went to bed that night with ponies on my mind. I just, couldn’t stop thinking about them. Derpy hooves stuck out the most in my head and the next day I just had to see the series. I got off of work at 10 that night, sat down in front of my computer, and watched the entire first season.
I didn’t question my actions until the end of the tenth episode, and even then it was only after I had clicked the link for the next episode. Finally, 6 in the morning had arrived and I could not last any longer. I passed out and dreamed of Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Derpy Hooves, even Twilight Sparkle. Even then, I wasn’t sure that I was a true brony. So I searched youtube for more pony videos, watched the episodes again, looked up all of the memes, gathered as much information as I could before season 2 started. I downloaded some awesome brony music that I found from a mlp fim countdown site. Season 2 would begin in just a few weeks, and I was truly excited. I talked about it at work, I dreamed about it, I searched out the trailers and then I finally knew that I was a brony.
To celebrate it, I found my favorite pony related videos and websites and posted them every hour on the hour the day of the premeire. I stayed up all night so that I could watch the new episode on a live stream (because I don’t get that channel) and it was awesome.
When I first started watching MLP:FiM about a week after season 1 was done.
I got my first pony when I was 6 at my birthday party- it was Blueberry Baskets! I love how she smelled like blueberries and how pretty she was. After that I would get a few for holidays, and even remember getting a bunch at a garage sale. I got back into collecting in 2010 when my husband and I were redecorating a room to look “80s toy” style, and fell in love again!
I watched the show on TV as a child ad I would rent Escape From/Rescue at Midnight Castle practically every week when I was at my grandma’s house. My first pony was a High Flyer my aunt bought me fro Kmart for my birthday.
I loved my little pony when I was a child and it was all about the g1s. When I found my “childhood” collection when i was in my early teens it all started back up again. By that time G3 had been released and I bought pretty much every single one I could find – along with g1s and 2s from ebay. After a few years I didn’t loose interest so to speak I just stopped buying them (around the time g3.5 reared its…interesting…head). Early this year my boyfreind asked me if I had seen FIM – which I had avoided as it was new. So I watched them all, and now im hooked again. I waited months and months for ponys to come out in the shops in the UK so had to buy g4s from france to pass the time.
I got into ponies when I was in college, during the G3. A friend of mine, that knows that I like toys, told me I’d probably like the “new” MLP line, and I indeed feel in love with them. After I bought the first one I need a second one, and than I got interested in other generations as well, and it got obvious I’ve been bitten by the pony bug
I only got introduced to MLP very recently with FiM, but I love all the generations and series equally~<3
i was introduced into it during g3 when i was little but i was only recently draged back into the fandom by fim
I first realized it when I saw the first movie – with the rainbow of light and the evil dragon and Firefly and the castle and Megan… I’m blanking on the name, it was so long ago. Then, I realized it *again* when G3 came out and I realized I just… had to have them. All of them. ALL OF THEM. <3
Ooh, do want! 😀 And congratulations on not being hacked anymore! <3
Let's see, when did I realize I was into ponies? Well, probably when I was a little kid, haha! I was always into ponies when I was little, but for a period of years between, oh, 7-13 or so, I kind of lost interest. (I was more into Barbies and Playmobile!) But when I was around 13, I found my box of old ponies, and went and looked them up online – and found out about a TON more that I had never seen before! So I initially joined eBay to buy a mommy/wife for one of my childhood families, but after that, I started to buy more ponies just because I liked them, and they were cute, and … well, it was a steady slide into addiction from there. 😉
I didn’t realize I was a fan until my daughter was almost 2. Then I remembered how much I loved playing with my friend’s ponies, and we had a MLP party for her 2nd birthday! We’ve been watching and re-watching FiM ever since 🙂
Well it all started a few weeks ago when a friend of mine linked me to a brony post on some mlp subreddit. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Ten episodes later… What time is it? Oh god I… OH MY SWEET CELESTIA WHAT HAVE I BECOME??? All these cute little ponies, I just gotta have some! So I went to wal mart and found a little pink pony, and when the cashier just stared, I said, “bitch, I’m a brony!” But then my mom caught me brushin’ pinkie pie’s hair, and said “you’re movin’ in with your auntie and uncle in bel air!”
I consider my love of My Little Pony an epic journey full of love, adventure, betrayal and redemption. My mom bought me my first pony when I was around 4 years old and I have had a passionate love affair with them ever since. I tried to collect as many ponies as I could, even going as far as mailing the rare ones to my grandparents in Florida so I wouldn’t miss out on any. Sadly, when my hormones took over around 12 years old I did a very sad and devastating thing. I am still scarred by it to this day. I became boy band obsessed and when my family hosted a garage sale I put all my ponies in it hoping to earn some money to buy teen magazines…I can still picture the woman who bought most of them walking away with two huge bags full of my best friends. I was smart enough to hang on to the ones she left behind (about 10 of them). When the G2’s came out I was disgusted with their design. They looked like skinny cheap knock offs. My sister bought me the one and only one I have. When the G3s came out I danced around the house! Finally!! Back to good looking ponies!! I have been collecting as many G3s as I can, but the best experience I ever had was living out in BC last year. I managed to stumbled upon 3 different people liquidating their pony collections, and as a result my G1 collection has skyrocketed to well over 200. I have been avidly scooping up the G4s wherever I can find them, and I have all my friends on the look out for ponies. I am madly in love with ponies, and will always be. Forgive my long winded tale, but I just wanted to say I am so grateful for the wonderful and supportive pony community! MLP FIM FTW!! 😀
Ive been a My little pony fan since I was about 6 and I can remember I had a brand-new rainbow dash toy and my dog chewed its nose off. haha now everytime i watch FiM im like “RAINBOW DASH! YOU CAN SMELL AGAIN!” 🙂 but yep It’s basically the best thing in the whole wide, wide world of equestria. ever. 🙂
I’ve like MLP since I was a little kid in the 80s. I got them as birthday presents and LOVED going to garage sales because my mom would buy whatever ponies my sisters and I could find. I have since found out that the Paradise Estate that I got as a birthday present was actually picked up at a garage sale. The previous owners must not have hardly played with it at all because it was in pristine condition and still had the little stuff (even the forks!). It was pretty awesome. 🙂 I started collecting again in late high school when I started using the internet.
And I just realized that I didn’t say who I was – I am manateejaq on the mlparena/mlptp. 🙂
That is an awesome story! =)
I first realized I realized I was fan since I was born in the 80’s! I remember watching MLP Tales and thought the ponies were pretty. As an adult being a serious collector and having the ability to purchase ponies easier now then back in the 80’s makes being a fan even better! :o) mlp4me
Well, I guess when I was little, when I got a few of my own and watched the old show. I’ve always wanted to collect them and fim reminded me :3
Love MLP!! Been a fan since the 80’s. I like the new FIM and have some of them as well as the older ones.
was there wen they went out the first series ever the best haha but o well my lil pony will always be in ^^
I first realized I was a My Little Pony fan when I was about 3, I used to watch the old school MLP cartoons. Sadly they took it off the air not too long after that but I still watched the DVDs and I have kept up with all the different MLP generation changes. I love the Friendship is Magic series too, it’s super cute and just a lot of fun to watch!
I first fell in love with MLP in 1986… and have been a hard core fan ever sense. I love anything and everything MLP!!! LOVE friendship is magic… gotta set on the DVR and a room full of toys… FYI no kids live in my house
II knew when I was little in the 80’s that I loved my little ponies. I still have hundreds of them. My oldest daughter has a bunch of g3’s now time to get the little one started on them.
I have been a mlp fan Since i was born in 1985.i still play and collect them.Lickety split is my favorite mlp next to the new pinkie pie!
I was a fan of My Little Pony’s as a child. My older sister had them before I was even old enough to play with them, then I got my own collection as I grew.
but being converted to FiM was a harder sell for me. As an adult I had trouble with the changes to the Ponies, and the anime-fictation of most of my favorite childhood toys. (Littlest Pet Shop for example resembles PokeMon FAR more than it resembles it’s 1990’s roots.) At first I had no desire to embrace the new genre at ALL.
Then My Sister, now mother to my young nieces and Aunt to my 4yo, made me sit down and watch the show. And that’s all it took. “Bridle Gossip” was the first ever episode I saw, and since then I’ve watched them all. It’s a clever lovable show, and MLP has won my love all over again. They really ARE magic. 🙂
I’ve been around a fan since the 1990’s. We lived on an island in Alaska at the time, moved to another state, and found the toys in thrift stores. Since then, it’s been history.
I think I knew I was fan of mlp’s when I started mounting shelves on my wall to display them……now they have their own room!!!
I have been a fan since I was born in 1984. I got my first pony that year and started a great collection!
Blueberry Baskets is one of my favorite ponies! Smells so good! There is something magical about her.
My BB is second hand! I have never experienced her smell and that makes me sadface…
OK, we have enough comments now but, to be a sport, I’m not going to close the comments until the end of the weekend to give any last minute entries time to sneak in under the wire. Then I’ll pick the winners and announce them on Monday. Thanks for all your participating, everyone!
Winner!
Winner!
I started maybe 1 year ago. I heard about this on Reddit, so I decided to check it out. Pretty soon, I watched the whole 1st season in a day. I loved it. So much happiness and charm. I watch it daily, and I just love this show.
