I ordered a rare oldie Schleich off of Ebay today. Took a little risk as its got a few marks on it, but they didn't seem all that bad in the pics, and it made it much more affordable. So hopefully when it comes, it will be a nice addition to my collection! I'll let you guys know when it comes, but for now, here's a hint...it belongs to my still small but hopefully growing sea life collection!

I have tons or schliech, around 150 horse models

I have so much Schleich. It literally won't fit in my rooom anymore

I have so many I have to rolling tubs of horses!

*two rolling tubs*

Lol, hi everybody! Welcome to the "Too Many Yet Not Enough Schleich" Support group!

aight so the pinto thing. that paint job thing has more to do in which year your mold was painted. im assuming the one that sais 2006 also has germany on it. The germany thing later got changed into the the full adress bit and than in 2020 to designed in germany. It basically represents their head office where models are designed.
anyway since the model was in the collection/production for seven years it falls within a change period of schleich. sometime between 2008 to 2011 they changed the belly prints and with the pinto model they changed up his colouring a bit. i can actually trace it in the little collection booklets since the 2008 booklet still has the older colouring and the 2011 booklet has the newer. i am sadly missing 2009 and 2010 so i can't pinpoint the exact
year

As for the made in part on a schleich that tells you which country/factory produced it.
Models are designed in germany and that design is shipped out across all schleichs factories and per factory they get the made in (country) stamp

Ah ok, thanks for typing all of that out!

Didn't somebody in here say they were going to Breyerfest this year? Its all about to go down in a few hours!

I got my new (used) aquatic friend in the mail!

Ummm...where did everybody go suddenly?

Got another oldie Schleich aquatic friend!

Ooh I like the whale!

I absolutely adore the Andalusian! They have such amazing detail!

nowhere yet. but i am pretty buzzy juggeling a 42 hour work week along with riding lessons, friends and packing for my vacation. so im not to active on here and probably wont be for the next month or so

I've been busy with work and been 'dragged' by my parents out the house... On the upside I got four of the 2022 models (the Sunrise pegasus, Belgian Draft mare, Oldenburger mare, and Criollo mare), and I was chatting with one of the staff in the store about Schleich, and I showed her some photo's of my collection. She now knows me as 'the girl with the bookcase'.

(fingers crossed this works, and sorry for the large size.)


Not my entire collection, but I'm glad my dad decided not to reclaim the shelves

On another note, I've just noticed 1. Schleich have changed their UK website... I can't find anything 2. Schleich have released their 2nd half of 2022's models, and I am in love with some of the 'Sweet Treats' unicorns. Got to be good... Got to be good... But the Shadow Dragon...

Oh! Well have fun on your vacation! Sounds like you've earned it Be sure to check in with us now and then when you can!



Lol i'm kind of a private person so not many get to see my collection, but if they could i'm positive i would have a similar nickname ha ha! I have a number of shelves, most of them full. Some of the workers in my local Orscheln's and the Tractor Supply 30 minutes away in a neighboring town know why i'm usually there lol.

Welp, i got a couple new oldies today!

The tiger is pretty cool!!

Cool! Y'all are lucky to get so many Schleich all the time

Oh believe me, i have dry spells too! But yes, i have been blessed to get a lot of Schleich! I started collecting something like 11 years ago now.



Thank you, i thought so too!

I went on a little trip over the weekend, which included going to a theme park i love. To my delight, they were having a kidsfest event going on, and in one location in the park they had a giant Schleich display and a giant tiger and elephant statue there for the kidsfest days! Even the two giant statues had giant Schleich tags around their legs ha ha. They were selling a bunch of Schleich figurines but the prices were higher so i didn't buy them there. But it was still cool! I did buy a couple elsewhere! Here's what i got...

Do any of you guys have the Gascher's Collectors Guide for Schleich Animals book? I have it and love it...i've learned of and found many of the older models that are in it!

all those finds look awesome.

i dont have the book myself though ive seen it in person.
its a cool book but as someone who only collects the horses im not much intrested in getting it for myself

Yeah i guess only a part of it would be useful for you then...hopefully when you saw it in person you were able to snap a pic or two of the horse pages! Useful info in there...

I can't say I've heard of it, but I'm like wild horse stables, mainly collect the horses. I guess the unicorns and pegasi can count as horses? Maybe I should look out for that book

Though, I broke the above today... I did buy two of the new 'sweet treats' unicorns, but I also bought the stork for my dad, and the baryonyx for myself. The poor manager specifically went up to the store room to get the sweet treat unicorns. I said I was happy to wait until I was back next, but he went and got the box, so I got first picks. There goes my payday money
