Anasta, I stopped by one of my nearby Targets today- they didn't have the wolf except a tiny one in a set. I will try to make it to the other nearby one tomorrow, if no luck I do plan on visiting an out of town relative next week. I saw the size/weight of the Battat pieces and can try and get a quote with a similar one of mine. The shipping IS crazy; I think some vendors try and hide profits in 'handling charges'. I have gotten different quotes from different post offices on the same box, but a $27 dollar difference would be nuts!

It's ok if you won't find this one, it's not necessary And thank you anyway!
I think so, plus we're living in the crazy time. I heard that shiiping cost depends local; so I live in Moscow, if this information is useful for you.

Targets #2 no wolf. They did have a nice fox, and a jaguar, and an obese alligator.

I'll be going to visit some family in a few days, so I'll check their Targets too.

An eBay lot came in a few weeks earlier than expected. Plus I went to Walmart and found a weird abandoned unmarked dragon in a cart. I should have thought before photographing a green dragon against green plants. The two fish not on bases do have them, they're just not on them. And I've mixed and matched bases with a few that are extras. (the bubble huts aren't my thing).

One thing slightly disappointing is that the edo nishiki and kyo nishiki have the same paint job. I may have to alter one slightly.

Congratulations! Beautiful fish!

Congratulations again :)

Congrats with the new additions! Those fishes look so real

No luck at Target's at my brother in law's either. :C I will keep an eye out.

The 2 Wing Mau fish I found should be here tomorrow or within a few days. I'm going home to get some things as we have to extend our trip, so hopefully they'll be here tomorrow when I'm there.

It's really ok
We will wait

I got the 2 Wing Mau fish, only real problem is that now I want the whole set and no one seems to know how to find them! (though one is missing his acrylic rod)

Hope you'll find this set

I remember me that you would like to see my goldfishes. I am not sure if all this figurines are goldfishes because i havent a knowledge about fresh water fishes and i prefer as figurines more saltwater fishes :)

Yes, they're goldfish! Some of them are really cute! Now I have something else to look for lol
Saltwater fish are the most common kind for me to find around here, though all I have are a shark and a sailfin.

Anasta, I FINALLY found a Targets/Terra wolf. Did you still want one? I can pick it up and try to find a cheap shipping method if so.

Big congrats! I will wait for photos of your new fishes :)

Sure I want! Yes, it would be great by your side to do it. Thank you that you didn't forgot it
By the way, now we have Fame Master collections, and there are fish collection too. I can buy it for you, if you want Detailed information look [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

With my new additions, I took a quick picture of my goldies. Please excuse my messy nightstand! I have one bunch there, and the overflow on a small shelf that held a disc player. I hope to make a shadow/trinket box to display them all in, their current setup does not work!

I have had a lot of fun finding them all.

I found these interesting figures at a flea market last week. I will probably end up trading/selling them. I really like the llama though, and may end up gifting it.

And my two plastic dragons, the Safari water dragon (who I like) and the no-name one (who is quite ugly, but I sort of like him).

Let's see if I notice your 2000th post.

While I was talking with my pastor about working at this year's pumpkin fair (I do painting commissions there as well as handle sales, I'm not so good but it's a way to make money while I'm out of work if people like my work), I mentioned how my camera had died and I would use any earnings to buy a new one. Well, he surprised me with a great new one! On top of many commissions this year, it was wonderful. Anyhow, since I now have a camera, here's a couple pictures of part of my goldie collection, displayed a bit better. I'll have to get pictures of everything I found this summer (whether fish and stuff for my collection or things I'll try to trade/sell) later.

Found this rack at a thrift store, I like it quite well.

This small box works for a narrow space.

That still leaves too many for the nightstand and disc player shelf though! And I must make 2 more stands for additions from over the summer (Re-Ment telescopic, no-name oranda, and 3 tiny unknown ranchus).

Lovely new shelves and what a wonderful surprise! :)

That is certainly a nice pastor you have, - to give you a camera

So now we can enjoy your beautyful new shelves, it look fantastic

Phantastic news!

That display is just gorgeous, it looks like something from japan or China.
You have much luck then

I got some lovely figures for Christmas, even though strictly speaking they're fantasy not real animals, I enjoy them greatly.

Thanks to Rakel and Widukind here on the forum, I was able to get some of this Schleich dragon family and found the others on eBay. I don't like many dragons, but these are nice.

I plan on surgically removing the riding harness and resculpting. Sadly it's molded on.

So ugly it's cute! Now I need to find one of Susanne's Baby Louies.

My daughter's boyfriend is Star Wars crazy, so she got a set of creatures from the planet Naboo and split it with the fish/aquatic critters going to me and the land ones to him. I like the little weird things! The jellyfish is a recent flea market find by K&M that I believe fits in. I plan on displaying them on the barnacles, coral, and maybe a piece of sea fan.
