Roger's Arrivals! 1st part

Congratulations Roger! The Bobcat is really nice and the Coyote is on my wishlist.

Oh,I would love to have this penguin,it's a very charming model.
I'm also interested in how many Penguins you have now,maybe we should start a "Show us your Penguins" topic?
Hurray for Mr.Picky!

great figures! i love especially the coyote :)

Congratulation Roger!!! I am happy that you found more animals from you wish list!!! And hurray for Rusty!!!

Congrats Roger! Another penguin for your collection! :)

Congratulations Roger!!

Congratulations Roger!

I love the Bob-cat too! For the brown pelican I think is a great figure too!

Congratulation Roger :)

Glad to help Roger and thanks to you for helping with some of the elusive Schleich critters

Thanks to all of you!
Christophe, surely the brown pelican from Safari is better because it is a replica of a brown pelican and not a pelican painted in brown as you said.
Susanne and Vivien, I know it is a lazy topic but here goes my Safari penguins, not many but I think it is only missing the African once I don't collect IC series. :) Funny is that all of them came from different members and the fifth one is also from another member!

Thanks Rusty! I apreciate your help and it is a pleasure to help you.

There are some figures that we want and we don't know why! I don't need a Eurasian lynx and this figure is really toyish! But it was in my wish list not only because it is a lynx but something atracts me in it!
That was the first time I've bought a figure in E-Bay! No, I don't have Paypal and I'm not even registered there. Robert did all the work and I only had to pay! It is not in perfect condition but it not hurts when the figure more postage to Portugal is cheaper than the new Schleich lynx here in local shops.
Thanks Robert, your help is very appreciated! I promess I'll not bore you more unless you find a jackal or an armadillo!

It's a nice figure. I know what you mean, there are certain ones that just appeal to you and you have to have. What's bad is when they are something you don't collect, and then you get 2 and then you have another collection...

You are so right, Tim! :)
It happened with Britains! First I was only curious, now I love them and all the nice figures in this scale!

Mr Crocorogerioberto. It helps that the scale is smaller and allows the figure to be "smaller than a breadbox."
More room on your shelves for those wonderful additions!

It can start by finding a teenie weenie itty bitty unknown rabbit...that you show your forum friends - you learn it's history... and before you know it you are watching and searching for - you're not sure what ....till that certain figure "speaks" to you saying,"take me home...take me home...only you truly appreciate me!"
Especially if it's a variation right Susanne?

Congratulations, Roger
I also always LOVED that model. It has that "something"
Perhaps the real, good old, original Schleich-look, that made this brand so beloved by collectors of all ages, all over the world ?

Hurray for Andreas, our man in Germany
How many of us would not have had to let a rare and wonderful model go, if it hadn`t been for Andreas ?

Andreas ???? ...

Congratulations! These old figures look so unique. Yours for example seems to have totally different thoughts in his mind than mine:

Yours is also missing the tips of ears..

But he's a beauty, and a great catch!

Nice oldie, Congratulations Roger!!!

And hurray for Robert!!!

But thanks Susanne, but it was not mine service.

Should i sorrow for your money Roger, if you find ebay now?

That's exactly my problem with prehistoric animals!I saw the Safari Giant Sloth in Rusty's collection and although I don't collect such prehistoric creatures,I was very tempted to buy it!
He had offered me one for trade and I considered a looooong time if I should take it.
In the end I didn't take it because of exactly this reason Tim,when I have one of them I want to have all of them and I just can't afford that.

Congratulations Roger,that's a lovely Lynx!
I don't like him that much to be honest,but you are happy with him and that's the most important.
I bought on Ebay also for the first time recently and now I see so many nice animals there,it goes like this:"Oh,this one is beautiful,Arrww,this puppy is so cute and oh,this Croc is funny...etc.,etc.!"

So, the angry lynx arrived, congrats Roger

Congratulations Roger!!

Congratulations !! Ah, ah, you did it !

He seems to have had a bumpy ride!!! Look at his funny face! Those oldies do have their special charm!

Congratulations. Great addition. Warning. Warning. Ebay can become very addicting.

hehe welcome to the on.line shops!

You started with a beautiful figurine. You´re right, it´s not the best, but has something special :) Congrats!
