Oh ok, that would explain why i never see or hear anything about them elsewhere. And right, i love the kitty's fur. She's so cute! The dog is pretty is pretty stinking cute too. I do really like the Icelandic horses as well.

Those are really really good finds

[quote=1936927981][author]Famousamos[/author]magazine thingies something that is only available in Germany then?[/quote:0]

somewhat yea.

you can get them in german speaking areas in europe. i've als discovered that some get a french translation so in france you can get them to.
ive bought magazines in germany, switserland, austria, luxemburg, liegtenstein and france.

you can subscribe to the magazines if you live in germany, switserland or austria.

you can order older magazines from the publishers website but those are only being shipped in germany

Interesting...thanks for explaining! Sounds like you've traveled a bit too!

I got a pretty CollectA fella in the mail today!

i've seen a lot of western europe
belgium, luxemburg, germany, france, switserland, austria, liegtenstein, italy, zjec rebublic, england, scotland and malta

never been outside of europe tough


he looks gorgeus. and tough i don't care for perfect conformation. i do like a bit of realistic conformation. and his conformation is way better than whatever schleich has been up to

That horse is gorgeous

That's awesome! I'm part Scottish and Irish (and so is my surname) so i'd love to visit those places someday. But so far i've only been out of the US once, and that was to visit Mexico, many years ago.





Thanks guys! Yeah, when i discovered CollectA, it didn't take me long to get hooked on it as well. What happened was my local Orscheln's was carrying a line of Schleich, so i got hooked on it, and then they switched from Schleich to CollectA, so that got me going on them. They do now have a few Schleich again, as well as other Breyer horses, but most of the individual models they carry are the Breyer/CollectA ones. Although i'm a bit frustrated because all they do is restock the exact same models over and over...in every Orscheln's store i've been too its the same exact ones. I wish they'd get some new ones! I never have seen the Tinker Stallion, though they had the mare and foal. I had to order him from Ebay!

Bump up so this doesn't get deleted

collecta's are really cool. i have 4 now tough they are pretty hard to find here in the netherlands. more do able than breyers but still not the easiest. only thing i really don't like is the way the stummach bends in at the shoulders

Yeah i've noticed that about the stomach too...never knew if that had to do with conformation attempts, or if it was just the sculptor's style. But i still love them I'm really sorry that it is so hard to find these figures in the Netherlands!

I've been eyeing up that CollectA for a while, and he looks amazing! Well done for getting him!

In the UK, getting Breyer is easier than CollectA. I can at least price compare with several online stores, but CollectA is only sold by one online shop... There may be more, but I am yet to find them. Currently ordering through one that does free delivery over £40. Schleich and Papo are quite easy to find though in stores.

I agree with the conformation, shoulders seem to be overly narrow for CollectA, even with the narrower breeds. Still like their designs and styles though!

He's definitely worth getting in my humble opinion I don't think i have ever come across the Papo brand in a brick and mortar store, but i don't have much store selection. Haven't really looked at them online either. I probably shouldn't...the last thing i need is the temptation to collect another series ha ha!

I did take a little trip today, and got some new goodies! Again with the big pics.

I personally collect both Schleich and CollectA, both of which I usually buy on ebay. <3 Will try and get some photos once I've cleaned up my room.

I am so happy to report that my magazines came in yesterday.

i always love the magazines they do most of the foals so welll.

Ooh those are cool I didn't even know the magazines were a thing

Those are so cute, i love them!



Ooh i look forward to it!

Wow, that's a lot of foals! They all look awesome, though.

Got this handsome boy in the mail today!

She's so pretty!

I meant he's

Thank you! He's a real horse and would be so stunning and large as life in person!

Hey guys I got the second installment of the 2022 Breyers Stablemates club today!

Hey how's everyone been doing lately?

I’m so good! Finals are wrapping up and I’m about to head to the UK. How are you?
