i used to collect schleich models! i even got bored of the original ones and started customizing and buying customs of other people

I live in the Netherlands and as far as I know Otten Speelgoed 2.0 in Den Bosch has cheaper schleich than any store that sells schleich in Den Bosch. But I don’t really know anywhere else that sells cheaper than other stores in its city because I usually go to the same places and those places either have no schleich or very limited.

I've been collecting schleich for years now, but nowadays I just collect and make customs and repaints. This is my most recent repaint

There are none of those around me unfortunately lol. But yeah, i go to all the same places too. Thank goodness for Ebay, cause without it my collecting would truly suffer!



Cool! Do you have a specific artist(s) you like? I wouldn't mind looking at/into a few good examples.



Wow, that is truly gorgeous! Love the eye too!

Hi! So I know Breyer horses are not Scheich, but I got the Breyer Protocol, a bay trotting horse. Name ideas?

Male:
-Dutch
-Hickory
-Raven (rave.)

Mare:
Belle
Dixie
Cappuccino

(Not personally my favs just ideas from my fam.)

On Monday i might be going to a town with a big farm store that usually has all kinds of new Schleich (and Breyer, but i'm not sure if i can financially swing one this go around)...yay! Problem is, i might have most all of the newer ones! Hoping to find one or more that i still need to add to my collection.

The only "newer" one that i have passed on this year when i found it was that danged tarantula...i HATE spiders, so its harder for me to stomach looking at it and handling it. And God forbid i stumble on it all surprised-like!

Wow, those are emojis (or is the proper term emoticons? and is there a difference?) that i very rarely use!

back from holiday and yea that is true when comparing usual prices
loose horses are 1 euros cheaper sets are sevral euros cheaper and things like magazines are unavailable in the netherlands so generally its a good time

Sure wish i could throw a lasso around Germany and pull it close enough to me to make it worth going to save $1.18+ on my Schleichs lol!

Well my trip didn't go as planned...as we were pulling out i entered the store name into the gps on the phone, and it turns out the store was closed for Labor Day today sigh. Since the Orschelns and stores like that were open, i thought this large, bustling farm supply store would be too. No such luck! So we went to a different town and messed around. Ended up with a few new Breyer Surprise Unicorn stablemates, but no Schleich. The odds didn't seem much in my favor today in a few different ways, but i love a road trip so despite that, i had a lot of fun! Still hoping to make a trip to the store that was closed, hopefully some time this month, for my birthday!

@Famousamos I am so happy thats its almost our bithday, but I dont really expect to get any schleich this year maybe when I go shopping with my grandma and mother but I am also getting my own computer

I don't really expect any either, unless i buy it myself. Which isn't looking good right now since my car decided to mess up tonight. As in, it wouldn't start, but its not the battery. My friend owned it before me and he said he used to have issues with the starter, but thought it was fixed. We think it might be that issue again. Its been years since then, and its worked great for me up until tonight. Its only a six year old Honda too! Thankfully i have a bit of money set aside for the car, so Schleich is still a possibility, but this still sucks ha ha.

That's great about the computer! How exciting!



We share September 24 as our real life birthday!

wow lots of september birthdays mine is on the 19th
i'm probabably not gonna get schleich either tough i have asked for money so il probs spend my birthday money on schleich anyway

also sad to hear about your car i hope smoke didn't come out of your stearing wheel. Happened with my previous car tough it's 28 years old and my dad got the burn't part fixed still to scared to drive it tough

Happy birthday to you too then! Anyone else born this time of year?

As far as the car goes, we actually have determined that we think it is the battery after all! I had ruled that out in my mind because my headlights, brake lights, dash lights, and radio would come on, but the engine wouldn't start. I thought that meant the battery was fine. Turns out it had just a little juice left, just enough to allow those things to function, but not enough to turn the motor. I know next to nothing about cars ha ha. Anyway, my friend came and looked at it today. He jumped it, got it to run to his shop. He found the battery terminals had enough corrosion it would cause the issue, so he worked on that. But when he went to leave there, it wouldn't start again. He had to put it on the charger for a few hours, and he let me take his car to go to work, as we was working at his shop this afternoon anyway. So after work i drove his car back to his shop, and we took my car off the charger. It started up, but the battery tester says its on the weak side. I'm really hoping it will start again in the morning ugh lol. My friend said we will probably be buying a new battery before too long. Its a pain, but its better than replacing the starter, or engine, or anything like that! Plus, hopefully it won't cost the full amount because he says the battery is still under warranty.

Oh yeah, to answer your concern, no smoke came from the steering wheel or anywhere else thankfully!

ah yea i had an internship once where the leader of the internships bus didn't start all the time because of the battery
she started taking an extra charged battery and some starting cables with her evrytime she went somewhere

Oh my i hope it never comes to that lol! It was dead again this morning so tonight i am sporting a brand new battery. They tested it and said yep its bad! The new battery cost like $120-$125 but thankfully since the old one was only three years old it was under warranty still so they took a little over $40 off and i got it for about $85. I'll take this cheaper and much easier fix over a bad starter or whatever any day ha ha.

It ain't much but I just scored a 1997 Breyer coloring and activity book for 50 cents at a garage sale lol. I flipped through it and didnt seen anything drawn or colored on and it's in amazing condition!

When I got home I looked more into the Breyer oloring and activity book and found a few pages that were colored or drawn on after all but they are actually pretty nicely done so the one or two little girls whose cute handwriting and names I found treated it very well! Most pages are not colored and there are no tears or stains...and this is from 1997, when I would have turned 10 years old, and had no idea what Breyer was! The only thing that time has done is turn the pages a little yellow. It ain't much, I know, but I'm happy with my little find!

I got $100 for my birthday gonna try to get some Schleich/Breyers!

Nice! Be sure and share if you can!

Today (Saturday) I made it to the store i tried to go to before! Yay! I have most of the newer Schleichs so they didn't have any i don't already have (although they have quite a few!) but i did manage to get two new large Breyers! They were even on clearance! My friend got them for me for my birthday! Oh by the way, happy birthday wild horse stables, although its after midnight here, and likely where you are, so technically it was yesterday lol.

thank youuu
and yeah it was far after midnight here
8:42 Am but thats okay lol

I only have the Dalmatian, but I love him. I wish they would make a female too.
