That's a good question, by the way. I think the proportion is better in the richest Western countries, i.e. in USA there should be more than 312 serious collectors, and in Germany - definitely more than 81 collector. But in developing countries, like Ukraine, there could be about 1 or even less collectors out of 1,000,000 people. For instance, I haven't still found another serious collector in my home country... _________________ Owners of miniature zoos on shelves, unite! My collector's blog

I know only of one more serious collector of model animals out of the 5 million inhabitants in Denmark There may be others, of course |

I found the poster in a toy-store also and made a pic of it. The problem is I'm really stupid with some internet-things. At least I managed to send it from the handy to the computer but it's not a .jpg-pic. So I could not save it as a picture on the pc but I could copy it and paste it in a word-doc. Is there any possibilty to post a pic as a word-document here? Or maybe I can send the word-doc to someone who know how to post it here? |

| Thankyou for the picture, this is very interesting Gosh, they are retiring all the elefants ! They must then make new ones, - aaaarrrr, I don`t have room for more elefants And the two playsets ! They must have cost a fortune to make ! Perhaps they sat between two chairs in the market ? They are not cute enough for the little girls, and they are not interesting enough for most grown-up collectors [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I sort of like the girl and her pony at the local club-show, though [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |
