For My Little Pony collectors, the task of organizing their massive MLP collections can be daunting.

Compiled by a My Little Pony collector since 1981, this inventory provides a simple and comprehensive way for collectors or even novices to pony collecting to organize their collections and make sure their sets are complete. Available in a handy pocket size for easy transport to flea markets, doll shows and other pony hunting grounds, this guide allows you to carry the knowledge of everything you have and everything you need to complete your collection around with you so that final missing piece will never elude you again!

This book was an awesome idea if you collect MLP!
My mom has been collecting ponies since she was a kid and recently I decided to start too (though I only have, like, 20 lol). My dad picked up this book for mom for her b-day because he figured this way she could get her want list together and we would know what to get her for Christmas this year. This book was such an awesome idea! Mom and I just spent yesterday going through all her ponies and checking them off in the book. We could even check off the barrettes, ribbons and brushes and stuff in the book too which is cool because mom has each pony with their accessories tied to their leg in a little bag. It was actually really fun because it was like a treasure hunt and we figured out that some of the ones she has are worth alot because the author has little Collector's Value Alerts in the book for certain ponies which is really cool . My mom also discovered that she had some rare variations which made the whole process exciting. The cool part, though is that now all dad and I need to do is breeze through her copy and see what ponies aren't checked off and just get her those for presents and stuff. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has a big MLP collection like my mom does because it's the most helpful thing we ever had to help her organize her collection (prior to getting this book, she could never figure out what ponies were on her want list). I actually came onto amazon today because I am going to order a second copy for myself. Even though my collection is small, I want to start getting it organized too and it makes collecting more fun when you know how many pieces are left!

Exactly what the title says...
This is a great book to use as a complete checklist of the ponies from the US. My only problems with it are that I wanted a little more. While the book is exactly what it says it is, it would be nice if there were pictures. If not of the ponies, than of the brushes and accessories. And, ideally, it would be nice to have a price list. But other than that...I think this book is great!

I'm not the only one!
This book was like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. After reading the introduction alone, I felt a complete connection to the author. I, too, became obsessed with the little ponies from the moment Cotton Candy showed up in my stocking when I was three years old. It is such a joy to look at my 400+ pony collection and know that I'm not the only one. There are so many accessories that it can make a collector's head spin. I didn't find ebay until a few years ago, so I'm still learning about all the things I missed growing up. I can only imagine the love and dedication that went into this checklist. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I have found many checklists online from various websites, but none as comprehensive as Hillary's. I only hope that she will be able to put another book together for all of the random pony releases like the softies, clothing sets, puzzles, etc. But overall, this book has been a lifesaver. Thanks, and job well done!
