My SAFARI Ltd additions for 2011...

From a trade with Anna, i had this Safari Ltd African elephant calf, the only Safari this month.
Besides from that, this brand is very hard to get around here in Europe, besides from the internet.
So i am happy with this only Safari addition.
Here he is:

It's a cutie Willy. Congrats.

I think so to Amy , he is reunited with his mom now!

Congrats Willy, he's really nice

Ohhhhh! It is SO cute

I haven't seen this calf yet and his posture is very very cute. Congratulation Willy for having him added into your huge collections.

Nice addition Willy!

I had the luck, that an e-bay seller offered me all of his Safari left-overs for a price, that i couldn't resist.
I helped him get rid of his Safari stock so to speak, haha.
I paid only a fraction of the real price, and got so much extra surprises in this lot.
You would be shocked if you knew what i only paid for this whole bunch of Safari's...
But hey, i am known as the bargain hunter around here...
Here they are, enjoy!

Congrats Willy! :)

-Kristie

What a FANTASTIC find !

Yes, somtimes one can be really lucky !
Congratualations, Willy

Incredible load Willy, congratulations!! So many lovely models I do have the Brontosaurus (Apatosaurus) she has a baby to go with her too.

Wow, that's a lot of... Safaris!
Very nice Willy! Yesterday I also received a Safari figure which I'll soon post pictures of.

Wow, what an amazing adition!

Where do you keep all your collection?

Thank you all guys!
Yes, this was a fantastic find indeed, specially when you think, that i paid only 1 euro a piece for them, haha.
That includes the big guys to of course...

Nice catch for Smilodon Cub!

Thank you Kenny!

I keep my collections in vitrines/kabinets and boxes Sylobe...

Congratulations Willy. What wonderful additions to your already HUGE collection.

Great capture Willy!I can't imagine the box in which they arrived?How big was it?
PS:The hammerhead might be a baby.Baby hammers are identical copies of their larger parents when they are born.

Ah ah, great catch my friend and for a very good price as usual Willybargainman .

I agree the two whales are the diamonds of this crown. The humpack is absolutely fabulous.

I still ask myself about buying this one or the Schleich... maybe I can find a place for a couple

Thanks Amy , well, i think your collection is expanding not much slower, haha...

Thank you Mihnea!
The box was about 45x25x25 cm i think, everything was packed up very well!
The box for the big lot of Bullylands wasn't smaller...., it was a big shoebox.(boots)

Merci mon ami!
This was one of the best deals for 2011, i already know that now...
Yes, the 2 whales stand out in this lot, they are really great!
I can only recommend them both, they are more defined then the Schleichs, although they are both great models to.
But the Safari's from the Monterey Bay collection are awesome in sculpt and overall feeling, you really got something in your hand!

I believe you Willy . As you know I have the Monterey Bay sperm whale which is a fabulous model IMHO better painted and more defined than the Schleich one

But I must say the Schleich sperm whale is the worst model of the 1:32 sea animals. The humpack is better indeed

I agree on that!

A little bit late, but better that then never...
Thank you Harriet, Susanne, Ronald and Numaan!

Even a little bit later Congrats Willy

Merci mon ami!
Yes, you know from yourself how it works with working, and all of that other suff that takes to much time from your free-time...
Working is good, but actually, it takes to much time from your spare-/free-time...
It should be the other way around, 2 days of work, and 5 days free!
