Duck-Anch-Amun's Newcomers Update 23.11.2024

Wonderful additions!

Congratulations especially for your springhare. Trading with Fallon is really special, she always have very rare figures. I never searched actively for that springhare but it surely is a model of all interest to my collection. Though, I have the kit fox from the same set and I know it is really hard to find.

Springhare is lovely. I never knew it existed until I visited the zoo in Frankfurt Germany some years ago and there it was.

Thank you everybody!

This set was so fantastic, it´s a shame that it has become so rare. And I only learned about it in thos forum
But I still need the kitfox, jackrabbit, vulture and kobra

I saw my first springhares in Zoo Berlin and I wanted since then this animal as figurine. I even wrote a mail to Schleich, as they had that time a cooperation with the zoo in Berlin.

From a really rare set. Since years i search for the kitfox (and the others). I also found long time ago that springhare. But the rest is harder to find as the PV lemurs

Well the kit fox, springhare and PV lemurs will be on my wishlist for a looong time then

Wow what a day! I was totally surprised when today I received a parcel from Japan. Yes, I finished my first transaction with Brett, but omg was that fast
After my last deals, I really thought that I would have to wait longer, instead I can already present you my new eikohs
My wish list got the last years longer and longer as Eikoh released such amazing figurines. So with Brett, I got the chance to receive all the figurines from that brand that I needed.
As I got with another deal already two other Eikohs, I now have 2 Sika deers and 2 amami rabbits...maybe I will present some trades/sellings in the next months...

But enough, here are my new Eikohs :)

Now I need some helping hand to identify the crabs and the angler fish

All on my wishlist and truly fab little figures

Wonderfulm choices

I was never able to resist Eiko's models, - thay may not be the most completely accurate ones, but they have this special kind of charm

Congratulations with your new models, - and I am happy to see that perhaps the transport system begins to work in Europe again

Splendid lot, I like the birds, especially the green one.

Congratulations on getting these very nice Eikohs

Eikoh is the new Playvisions :)

Many thanks
Just saw that I didn´t updated the headline of the thread...but it´s of course my first september addition.

Yes, some of them are to small (the Dugong...), but the species choice and the quality of those figurines qualifie them as must-haves

Beside of the US Yowies, you are right!

As many of you recognized, our new friend NMR_Okapi had some really rare figurines to trade and sell. Knowing, that he prefered trades and knowing that some users would spent a lot of money to complete some of their collections (especially for playvisions), I had not a lot of hope. I contacted NMR_Okapi with a big list that I would buy from him.

Yes, a lot of those animals weren´t available for me. But NMR_Okapi was so friendly to sell a lot! And what a collection of different species, all new for my zoo! I´m honest, this was my most expensive acquisition on STS til today. But I got Playvisions, K&M, Club Earth, Wing Mau and Safari!

I was surprised when the parcel arrived, as it was very fast. Sadly, one of the butterflies lost his antenna. But the rest arrived very well!
So I wanted to thank NMR_Okapi, that he sold so many figurines to me and the other users of this forum.

That surely is a magnificent, wonderful lot you got there

Beautyful, rare, wonderful, CONGRATULATIONS

Big wonderful batch from the forum's new friend! Big congrats, so many lovely wonderful figures. What a day for your collection. :)

WOW! What a great haul! So many figures on my wishlist, it must have costed a fortune!

I think you felt like a child as the figures arrived you. So many very special catches. We can be lucky here to have this new friend NMR-Okapi. I also got some really phantastic figures from him.

That was surely a party day. If you had missed this fantastic chance, you would surely take an eternity to get all these models. You'd probably also needed to get them in loads of different lots and paying postage to each one. While getting them all at once, you already saved a lot. I think now it is time to you enjoy your new models.

Thank you
Oh yes, we can be lucky that NMR-Okapi joined us and offered such amazing rare figurines!

For sure Now I have to search some space for them^^

That´s so true! Normally, I don´t collect invertebras and even with fishes, I started purchasing them in recent years. But to get the chance to acquire those rare brands was a big opportunity :)

I am just discovering your fabulous collection, many pieces I would dream to have!

Thank you Jean-Luc and Caracal :)

Last time I bought on Sandspielfiguren.de, there was especially one figurine of my wishlist, that wasn´t available at that moment So I contacted them to ask if they could message if the figurine is available again. And now it worked, the wonderful (but very small!) Queen Triggerfish from Safari
But as shipping is very expensive from that site (even that I live in the neighbour country), I added some other figurines, too.
