For those not in the pony know, in 2003 they re-started the Pony line with a brand new set.  A birthday or two ago I bought her two original Ponies Mint-on-Card. She had resisted buying any ponies, but I eventually bought her one randomly earlier this year, and reignited the pony passion.  I had already bought 12 new ponies for her, when I stumbled across an Ebay lot that was poorly titled. It had the first 3 playsets of the post-2003, and 44 ponies from 2003-2004 including the five rarest exclusive ponies (the Target 2003 Christmas ponies and the first two mail-in ponies) plus a few pony-related extras (a clock,  a book, etc)  I got the entire set for less than the 5 rare ponies would have gone for if they were listed individually.I did a "12 days of Christmas" bit, giving her a pony every day leading up to XMas, then let her open some ponies on Christmas Eve. Then after she went to sleep, I laid out the Pony play mat, setup the castle and the the two little playsets, and put the rest of the pony army all around one of those little light-up trees.  Then I turned off all the lights except for the little tree, sat her down eyes-closed in front of Pony World, and then made the castle play the MLP theme song and flash its lights.Sure, anyone can make a 6-year old get all excited and giddy like a 6-year old, but its much more fun to get an adult to react that way.</blockquote>
