Schleich Collectors

[JadeIcing]

Funny I was just talking to Rob the reason I don't pick up the littlest pet shop is because I will have to have them all.

As is I got these [urlhttp://www.onlyheartsclub.com/pages/ohc_pets.html]Only Hearts Pets[/url] I got MarshMallow and one like her in pink called Flip Flop for myself.

(Sorry, I didn't want the link to stretch the page width, so cut it in two. Just copy and paste the second part with the first....or click on the working link and go down to Schleich on the left-hand side of the page.)

I will look at that later.

Bassetluv, I looked at the link, and some of the animals look new, but I swear that rooster is the one I already have! I'm excited about several of those though :biggrin2:

 

[JadeIcing]

Those are all new! OMG!

According to an Ebay seller who carries the 2009 Schleich - they're due in the third week of January...

[JadeIcing]

Snowy, is your rooster crowing? This model isn't, though the colored rooster from Schleich that TGF Toys lists does. I think that might be part of the difference in the new model vs the older one.

I stumbled across this website when I was looking up a Schleich animal, Ali. It's an overseas site located in Germany. But it's the first time I've been able to find anything showing the new 2009 Schleich models. And they look great! Some do look like repeats, though there's probably subtle differences, but I especially like the horses. Definitely would like to collect all of them. I wonder when they will be distributed to stores in N.A.....

LOL...I just noticed your post Peg. I guess that's when they'll be shipped to stores worldwide? Can't wait!

I broke down and ordered:

brown hen
cat standing
meerkat pups
chicks
ostrich chick
rooster
hen pecking

That is $17.99 before shipping....

I'm going to see if the feed store gets horses in and I WANT the raccoon when it comes out later this year....

I also thought this was neat - but too pricey....

arg- just look at his "Peppermint Twist" for the "trail of painted ponies" line...

 

[Bassetluv]

*sigh* I broke down too...I committed to buy two of the horses as well as the adult gnu and gnu calf.

Peppermint twist? I missed that...will have to go take a look...

 

[Bassetluv]

Okay, now I saw it. Not the type I tend to collect (with me, I like the figures as life-like as possible, down to shading and fur color). I don't care for ones that have decorative paint designs, or figures that are mounted on stands, or ones that have things attached to them (such as saddles that are permanently attached to the horses). LOL...guess I'm fussy...

 

[TinysMom]

Di - I would probably never get it either - as I prefer them lifelike. But it was just an "interesting" pattern that caught my eye. I'm not really into that whole line of products....but it showed up as another item he had and it was just so different - I had to look.

I'm trying so hard to keep from ordering some of the new horses - I'd prefer to give my business to the local feed store as they're so nice to me.

 

[JadeIcing]

YES! The web site has the 2009 ones up!

 

[Bassetluv]

Are you getting some Ali? I ordered four of them (even though I was going to not buy any more Schleich for a while ). I can't wait for the gnus to arrive. The other two I ordered were horses...Dartmoor pony and the quarter horse. But I love almost all of them!

Oh, and these aren't 2009's, but I bought a wild boar and sow, and piglet a little while ago.
*Forgot...I got an Okapi too.

 

[JadeIcing]

I am going to stop in at the store and see what they have.

 

[Bassetluv]

You mean a physical store? I ordered some from a seller on ebay and he won't be shipping until he gets them in; and TGF Toys has them listed but they're not available yet. I don't think Schleich is distributing them until the 3rd week of January.
