To somebody who understands how minds might work..
(and I don't personally think this warrants its own thread, but if a bunch of other people do, I'll fix it .. or the mods will if they feel it's that important)
I'm not sure if I can put this in a way so it will be seen objectively, but I'm not recovered yet, so I don't trust my judgment. While I was in hospital, my sister gave me a first edition Sunny Daze pony on card. I opened the box and removed the pony. Just today, I found out my sister bought the pony on its first release about 5 or 6 years ago. I told her that now I think I should buy one for her. She did not respond, and she changed the subject. No way would I be able to afford an on card first edition pony from 6 years ago, and the pose has even been discontinued. But I can buy a newer pose of the same pony new on card from Hasbro. Do you think she would like that?
I don't know if she's a collector. The fact that she kept a pony on card for 6 years is a pretty good hint to me, but if she collects, she keeps her collection hidden. I'd ask her all this, but I want to keep it a surprise for a Christmas gift.
