Fluttershy in november? Holy crap, holy crap that looks good... Aaaah I kind of want a dashie and a fluttershy, but I'm not entirely sure about dashie from build-a-bear, but the fluttershy does look AAAWEEESSOOMMME! I hope they get that in the UK aswell, I live in Sweden, but if I order from within EU I wont risk additional hidden fees from shipping from the US.

Hm, does anyone know any more sites where you could buy plushies (Europe) don't want to order from America, because of the possible fees when taking them into Sweden... Those fees might sometimes get HUGE. I saw that build a bear is available in Europe, it looks a bit better than the china-hasbro ones, but alternatives would be great!

TLDR: I want to build a collection, but I'm afraid of becomming addicted to collecting. Tips? Okay, I REALLY want to start collecting ponies, because they are just adorable, and I just feel really happy to watch all of your collections. One problem though, is that I feel that I would possibly "never be satisfied" with it, and just keep buying untl I become like this woman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf3rK2DQrSY No offense to her, as I said, I like watching all of your collections, and I become happy by it (she just earned another subscriber, that's for sure) - but I don't want to fill my house with them myself, I would regret the money I spent on it, and I would hate to throw them away (which I would probably have to if I got so many). If I was 40, I could think, yeah, I have a room where I can place all of my collections, no problem! But I'm 16, I live at home, and say in 10 years, I get a wife, and she doesn't like MLP? Well, damn. I wouldn't throw them away, but it would sure be REALLY easier if I just had a few. And even if she did like MLP, I would have storage problems anyway. So, do you have any tips for me? Any suitable/resonable collection size (goal)? Oh yeah, please share your own aswell, I don't mean your collection, we have a thread for that, but I mean your IDEAL collection, is yours too big, is it too small?... do you buy ponies all the time... etc. An affordable thing to get addicted to would obviously be the blind bags. But if I get addicted to that intentionally, I would have to limit myself to like, one bag every month, or maybe less than that, after I built up a reasonable collection... I'm laughing at myself now, for this is kind of silly - atleast to me it is, I've never collected anything like this before! Except steam games... uh, don't want to talk about it. That's something I certainly stopped spending so much on, but I had a wave where I literally spent all the money i could get on more steam games, which wasn't very good... It's good now, and luckily all those games doesn't take any place, since they're all stored digitally. I found the "blind bags" to be VERY awesome, since I can get those at the supermarket, and they are really cheap, and so many to collect... and so small! But I would also maybe want atleast one plushie... and... Damn it, I'm starting already... I see it as a very likely thing, that I could end up wtih a quadrillion ponies which I spend thousands of dollars on. Oh and please don't tell me there is a thread like this already... That would be, annoying. EDIT: The reason for my worry is as mentioned, I know that I could very easily do that personally. I got addicted to buying steam games, that just took one sale and I spent so much money I don't even want to look at the reciepts anymore... It's just embarrasing how much I spent in such a short amount of time. Thank you everypony!

If you're proud to be a brony, show it like a man! I know that you are 13 and that will mean that you are most likely insecure in yourself and all, I mean, low self esteem - so it might be hard for you nontheless. I know that 3 years ago, when I was 13, I was bullied, I was depressed, I had no friends, and I just felt shit all the time. Even if you have friend and all, being secure in yourself is something that comes with time. Thread is old enough for you to already have bought it, but if you haven't... GO GET IT! Personally I'd rather have a T-shirt or something, since I already have a necklace that costs a really chocking amount, it's a cross, with diamonds and sapphires, real ones, it was REALLY costy. Especially since I bought it when I was 14, and I had no job, it was very costy for me, but it was and is beautiful, and I like it. I'm going off topic here, or atleast somewhat. I tend to do that sometimes.
