Christmas Acquisitions

Hello everybody, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOOD WILL TO ALL MANKIND!

This is the thread where we can post what figures we got this Christmas!

I will post my acquisitions when I have time!

I hope to see a lot of niceness in this thread
I ordered some models for the some cash I got for christmas, and now I just wait for them to arrive.

Great topic

Among other things I got FOUR boxes of chocolate !!! And already ate 2 1/2

It is so funny , - for many years I have spent the afternoon of the 23rd driving round with little presents for old people in the vicinity, - now most of them are gone But this year THREE younger people came with little presents for ME

That's lovely Susanne! I love the season of giving. Christmas is just one of my favorites for those reasons. I'm sorry for all the old people who aren't there anymore. My Swedish friend sent me a present and I sent her one! She sent me a KEX bar (you may have it in Denmark?). It was DELICOUS! I got about 155$ in USD this holiday season. I'll probably buy a present for my dearest Chilly, and start working on getting some M+B water birds. I'm also working on maybe moving my dinosaurs and birds over a bit to start a new freshwater establishment! This holiday, I got the Terra Battat North American set. So cute! I also got some NewRay sets. The teal/wood duck set and the mallard set. The geese were out of stock online so my mom couldn't get them.

I did also get some lovely surgical scalpels and hydrochloric acid (for hobby uses), but those I think would make for a slightly less cozy group photo.

The young ones must have learned it from someone, no? (Or is it maybe a tradition over in Denmark?) In any case, that's ace! Also, your chocolate marathon sounds rather ace too.

Cute little cows! I love them!

I got the mojo Cape buffalo, Collecta water buffalo, and schleich Hereford bull and whitetail buck.
I also got a really neat recurve bow that was made in the 1960's by Fred Bear. It's awesome!

I don't know how to upload photos, but I'll try. You can look up Bear Archery Bearcat Recurve Bow and you can find pictures. Its a really pretty bow. Obviously you all know what the models look like.

Kitty, Rapunsel, Juri, Anubis and Stampertje.

I'm missing my two tacksets. I got the dressage set and the camping set!

Thanks for the topic, Emma!
Lea and Tessa - lovely presents

Yesterday we celebrated Christmas at my parents-in-law. It was very cozy and fun!
Of course I got some presents, we all got some, and these animals are standing in my collection now.
Got them from my awesome boyfriend, how sweet

This little beauty I got from my parents-in-law! They saw her at a stand at a flea market.

Lovely stuff, everyone! NightLioness, I'm liking the light in that group picture of your newbies. It shows them off very nicely. Those lambs (and Holsteiner, though I may be biased..) are looking particularly sharp!

Carola, do show us here what you got once they arrive, yes? I'm curious.

A lot of nice gifts:)

Karin you really have the dream boy friend of every collector How sweet is that!
And he pick some really nice ones...wow. The cow has to be my favorite of them
Btw have you got your horses from Finland?

Thank you Lea, means a lot to me to hear that from you
The Holsteiner is a beauty and made in Tunesia or Portugal (Heh, bit tired, can't remember it right..), such a sweet cow

Your bunch looks so delicious, Paige!

Thanks Jonas.

Quick explanation though, this year has been crazy for my family. We've been traveling trying to help my grandma with cutting wood and making mends to her 1945 house and things, and we've had weddings and trips to help out family members etc. etc. and then our own house (when we were actually in it, which this summer was maybe one week out of a month) we had our own problems to deal with (mouse infestations, house repairs etc.) And in all the places we went, I rarely got to go visit new toy stores to see what they had. (I'm always scouting out new sources for figures, since my home town has limited selection of even schleich and safari) Anyways, for me and my older brother, the only two living at home now, we were the only ones around to help fix and do things. So to make up for a rather un-fun summer and hectic autumn and an even more insane winter (so far) my parents tried to make it up to us for Christmas for all our help. And because animal collecting is my favorite thing... these figures made up most of my Christmas.

Anyways, great new additions everyone else! So many neat new figures to look at.
