Thankyou very much for the info, Kyrill

thanks for the list quite shocking to see no wild animals are being retired next year?

That's good. I still have some older CollectA animals to buy!

Right, no wild animals will be discontinued. And I'm glad to know it!

Same here, good to know I don't have to invest more money in some animals only because they will be retired...

That is such great news! I have some serious catching up to do to get a few of their older wild animals, and none of the retirees interest me.

Good!
New Clydesdale!

At least CollectA makes good retirements

THANK YOUU! (o)):

Thanks for the info.

Some of the horses are still missing in my collection, I'll have to spend some more money.

It seems, there will be new Shetland pony and a new Clydesdale.

Very useful post and welcome news! Thank you!

(I'm glad to hear no wild animal retirements.)

Is your list complete? Are there no standalone wildlife figures to be retired?

They said there are none.

At least, they aren't retiring any of their rare-unseen dinosaurs. This is what they do best! Aside antelopes, of course.

Yes, I think they do antelopes best!
