Congrats

Thanks for putting up with my ten thousand "woo! Great deal!" Messages

That's just a bit of an exaggeration

Well, okay, maybe I didn't use the word "woo!"

Got a great deal in these. I mean nowhere as good as the doves, but with shipping just under US $6. And they were NIB.

Wow, great deal!!

That's an outstanding deal, Laura!
It is great to see that some of these very rare dodos are finding a good way to collectors hands!

I love these Noah's Pals dodos, and what a magnificent deal Congratulations, Laura!

WONDERFUL FIND

I adore them !!! They are so exceptional
They are certainly among the favorites in my entire collection...and I would never even have dreamt about getting them, if it had not been for a well known, amazing crocodile in Portugal ( Guess who?)

Congratulations with getting these rare birds, dear Laura

Thanks everyone :)

This little dude tried to sneak into my laundry. May have something to do with a terrible sense of balance .

He's very cute

He is cute indeed

Don't want to sound rude or anything But aren't you forgetting some animals?

What a little cutie, - did he want a bath ? He looks very clean already

Nope. Not forgotten. I was going to wait for Roo's birthday or me to finally get your package off to you.  But as I FINALLY mailed yours after almost two months, I'll post the pics either tonight or tomorrow.  Off doing laundry at the moment. :)

But since you waited so patiently. :)

I've been a bit pre-occupied with random stuff of late. Many, many, weeks ago, Karin kindly agreed to do a trade with me.  The kids were very excited when the package arrived - Abby wanted to see her "Pink Horse" and Roo his Schleich Octopus. With the calm of boiling water, they waited for me to open the box.

Karin had thoughtfully included several other items which got oohed and awed over. Or excitedly bubbled about. Your choice.  I'll post more pictures later.  (Thanks for the chocolate, Abby stole it, and believe it or not, ate part of it without batting an eye. :) )

He must have heard how fun splashing in water was from someone

Nice to see trades between great members! I am afraid, that with shipping increasing everywhere, these great and friendly trades will turn less common in future. Congratulations for your and your kids' new figures!

Package from Karin, part 1 :

January 22nd, a box came. It took me a little to realize what it was.  It was a fabulous box full of fun things. :) 
Sorry, Karin for the delay in pictures.


Mr. Octopus came, bearing a gift of a shiny stone for the local octopuses' collection...

And the other two are off on childhood adventures (they'll be part 2 when I relocate them). The stickers were used with happy abandon. And mmmm... 85% cocoa :)

Thanks again, Karin!

These photos are fabulous and I am very happy to see that all the animals are happy and with new friends. Sorry for asking, I could have just waited a bit longer Abby ate 85% chocolate without batting an eye, wow! I remember when I was young, I HATE the taste of the bitter chocolate. But now I enjoy it with little bits :3 Thank you for these awesome photos. I will do my best to present your animals when they arrive here

And indeed, shipping costs aren't fun anymore I trade quite often, but I have to hold back because of those darn shipping costs. So I am very lucky and happy that I could do a great trade with you

Phantastic additions!!

Congratulations with these wonderful figurines, Laura! Now I'm curious about the half of the trade that's coming Karin's way..

Great figures tell great stories! What a club!

Very excited. Early Mothers' Day present.
I got the colobus! I got the colobus!

I did, I did! 

I thought it was coming yesterday and accidentally opened the door to find Evangelists instead of a Postal Worker.  Teach me not to check first. :)  (At least they were nice enough not to linger when I looked like death warmed over. :) )

A beautieful monkey. I like him :)
