Why do I have so many animals?
« on: January 02, 2013, 18:58:15 »
Been rather busy lately, so haven't posted much, but have some spare time so am back here for now!

Back in November I decided to sort out my animal collection - I was amazed at how many I had collected.  8}  How I came to have so many I don't know, other than that for a couple of years I had planned to make a safari park/zoo so most were bought as part of lots and just put into a tub tubs until I needed them.  :-[

I found that I didn't even use them all in my safari park/zoo display last year so I decided that some a few can go, so I'll be listing them on ebay.

I thought I'd take some photos of them first.  Unfortunately they are not too good as someone had changed the settings on my camera.  ???

Here are just the wild/zoo animals, I have another tub full of domestic animals;  cats, dogs, farm and wildlife such as deer, foxes etc.  not the mention the birds and the tub of horses I have too!  Actually I found another couple of bison and some bears later plus 20 reindeer in the Christmas box! and I've since bought 2 mountain goats.  :)









I really must stop buying what I don't need  :lol:

(If anyone is interested I'll post a link to the ebay listings I have in the shopping/auction section - I'm also selling some knights and a magic tree plus other things.)

Seems like a perfectly normal amount to me.
It looks like you have two different colors of the baby croc/green lizard? I only have the lighter one listed on my site. I don't see anything on PlaymoDB about it either. Just a batch variation?? Any idea where the darker looking ones may have come from?

I've checked my ebay buys Tim and as far as I can work out, the one on the right
(the jade green looking one) was just bought as a lot of 3 small green lizards while the one on the left (the more olive green one) came with this set

Which one are you missing as I'm sure I can spare one for your collection!

very nice collection, I just do not see how you could part with any of them.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
