I like the gray unicorn �

Im pretty sure that second one is a lovely Bughs coat...congrats!
|
@ flame 48. Man I've been looking for that uni coat. Great job on getting it
|
I didn't expect to find this sweet yummy coat in the sales! Each time I found it for sale before it was always too expensive for me, happy I could finally buy it for a reasonable price.
|
i have wanted this 2011 coat since at least Jan/feb of 2013 and it somehow always eluded me. i am very happy to have now added it to my collection!
Breakeven 116/600

I grabbed a few coats from the sales recently too!
279/400 442/500 478/500 (a second copy for me, but I love it!)
|
@Gaited Splendor, I have that first coat and adore it!! So beautiful!
|
And another one...
I also have my eye on 3 more, it just depends if I can earn enough passes to buy them first!

Just picked up Taisii by Titanjasun.

I recently got a few new coats! The last two aren't really new but they're so gorgeous!

I'm supposed to be saving, but I did another thing! It's the first Sighthoundlady coat I've added in ages, and I'm quite close to finishing that collection, so I figured I'd best get it now
|
I hope you like her Best luck to finish your collection
|
Kinda look like My Little Pony
|
It does look a lot like itbut I'm not sure it's too close to be copyrighted except for the eyes. The one in creation space last time look traced from 80s my Little pony with fish/mermaid tail tail
|
The one above is a PreCS coat, and the rules for submission were different back then
|
Its also a pre cs coat that was around long before winged unicorns were added! So thankful i got all of sighthoundlady's coats before her account was deleted! Though im pretty sure several pretty DA coats went with it.
|
It's a cute coat. The eyes and muscle tone different. It also has cute wings that looks like a butterfly.

Stormheart has retired
493 / 500

I noticed last night that one was close to retiring!
I dont know about you guys but I am slightly panicked about the new species categories being added. I am one who likes to add coats to a horse that correspond to the breed. For instance, a fjord coat on a fjord pony, a marwari or akhal teke, Arabian, gypsy vanner, shetland, haffy... you get the idea...on the matching breed. Since the coats will be assigned according to what species is wearing the coat the most, I'm hoping that enough of you are like minded enough to make most of them be in the matching species category! Sigh lol. There is no way I can get all of them on the appropriate species in time, and it always makes me cringe when they are incorrectly assigned. Maybe it's just me, but I hope not! I wish the uni and pegasus coats weren't gonna be divided further.

I just realized my post did not necessarily pertain to RCs...sorry if it was the wrong place to mention it!
|
Famousamos, I do the same! I try to make the horses "fit" the coat with breed or at least color if I can! For example, so there's not a white coat on a black horse. But with already retired coats, my standards are different! There's limited numbers, so if I like it, I better get it.
I remember Sighthoundlady from back in the day. I had a lot of her coats on my old account 7-8 years ago. I just took a look in the directory at her old coats and it's astonishing to me that these coats that were once so popular are under 200 left, most under 100 left. It makes me wonder how many RC collectors are still here and hang on throughout the years (for argument sake, 5 years?). Maybe less than 100?
|
Yeah RCs are different...i take what i can get. I have many GAs that i did not personally match the coat and color. But whenever possible, you can bet your boots they will match lol. And yeah i cannot believe how few there are of some of her coats...they are gorgeous! I made sure to get them all and am very thankful now for it. Honestly, i know when coats are released it can take very little time for those 100 use coats to retire, but i'm surprised it doesn't go faster. I mean, this server has over 160,000 players right now. I guess by the time you subtract inactive accounts, those who don't care to collect, and newer players who don't know/can't afford the coats, and even those who can't make release for one reason or another, and yes, those who forget lol, you might get a bit closer to the 100 players who make it. And some of those players who do make it buy multiple coats, so yeah, i'm surprised it doesn't go even faster than it does. I know even the 200 use coats used to go pretty fast, in a day or less, if i remember right. Now they can go for months, and in some cases, years! It definitely seems as if the base of collectors has shrunk. I myself am approaching my 8th Howrse-iversary (10 days and counting! ) and have no plans of slowing down on collecting, or quitting. It took me a while to catch on to the fact that coat releases were happening and when they were happening when i was new (i had the dumb ) but eventually i figured out how it worked, started collecting, and the rest is history!

12 years here...
cost is what keeps me from getting new coats now.. which is frustrating as I love collecting.. but it takes all i get from my divines just to renew my VIP. have no luck with sales, and can never part with a coat once i have it.. lol and now adding the element of a possible retired helios ray to a retired coat... well that takes care of those leaving as well..lol |
