Pony Merch

Although there is a plethora of MLP officially licensed merchandise out there (all of it completely wonderful), I don't collect much of it.  I don't have room for everything, and my preference is to focus on the ponies.  For that reason I've limited the merch I collect mainly to stationary, stickers, miniatures, and party supplies (flat and small items).
I'm still sorting out how I'm going to display most of this stuff.  However, I've recently organized the merch so at least I have things together and know what I have.  I've been slowly taking pictures of items as well, to add to my flicker account and track what I've got.  Some of these items will be displayed on shelves, while some will be stored in books and binders for safe keeping.

G3s on the move

The G3s are an interesting part of my collection, in that they're the only part that can be said to be as close as makes no difference to being complete.  As such, they're also the only part of the collection that I can pretty well determine how much space I need for display.

2 Billy Bookcases = G3 space for all!
The G3s are now installed on the Modern side of the Geek Cave, and with any luck they'll be staying there.  I think I should have the space for the last few G3s on my want list, whenever I get them.


The G3s are not going to expand much more, but they're also not likely to shrink much.  I've gone through my collection previously, and having moved everything again recently, I've confirmed that I'm still happy with the majority of the ponies I have.  I think it's good to review your collection from time to time to ensure that you're still happy with what you have, because if you're not, why are you holding onto those pieces?  I've decided to let go of a very few G3s at this time, ponies that I don't have a strong affection for anymore.  This kind of ebb and flow is natural in a collector's life.

The Geek Cave is really coming together now, but there's more work to be done!
