I can relate! I never had Jetta as a kid. I was going to get either her or Synergy and then ended up with Ba Nee, because the Starlight Girls had just come out and I loved Ba Nee and her purple jelly shoes just like I had. I regretted not getting Jetta though and I think she was my first official purchase as an Adult Collector. Her or Roxy. I can't recall. I would have wanted Jetta more, but possibly stumbled on a deal for Roxy and picked her instead. Anyway. Aja was my childhood first, then I got Pizzazz. I chose her over Stormer, because she had panties and dolls with underwear were for some reason very important to young me. Then I regretted it and was given Stormer for Christmas. I got the original Jem/Jerrica as a gift somewhere in there, too. I think she was 4th. Then Ba Nee was my last. I wanted Roxy and Jetta, but I think I went for lower-priced items when I was given a choice, because even then I knew the Jem line was more expensive than a new She-Ra or something.
Oh, gods, I love me some Tierney. I had two or three of the Jem books in my childhood collection and I bought them all up quickly once I started collecting as an adult. I had no idea he'd also done two Rockers books! I had the sticker album, which I obsessed over. I played with the little pop-up stage and its reusable vinyl characters all the time. Now I want to add some Tierney icons to my rotation...
