Guys, i might die...i'm hearing that Schleich is gonna come out with horses that are the size of traditional Breyers, with a similar price! I'm not sure how many they are planning, but i saw a pic of a few, and i'm gonna need the Vanner! They are called Legacy Horses i believe. Have any of you heard of these?!default smiley :o

Is anyone else kind of mad? I am. That’s because they have started making hay bales out of this plastic-y material.

back when i had my stable set up, the tack and accessories felt strong and durable, and even looked very realistic. but now even the tack looks depressing and gross.

So apparently Schleich is discontinuing their Smurf line at the end of this month! If you wanted to grab some from the website, i would do so in a hurry!default smiley :o I'm not sure if they will even be up after that! I literally just read that myself, so i made an order. I know the Smurf line isn't all that popular compared to their other products, but i thought i'd mention it just in case!default smiley 8-)

Yeah, they do have some on sale...the one nearest me doesn't have much of a selection, but if you're missing some more recent models, its certainly worth a look!default smiley 8-)

I also looked at the website again tonight, the Smurfs are indeed all gone! I thought maybe they'd keep them up till they were out of stock, but i guess not!default smiley :o

I don't know if there are any Tractor Supply stores that sell the Smurfs, if that's what you meant! But definitely check for some of the usual models! My Smurf order from the website is supposed to come tomorrow...i'll try and share them when i can! Does anyone else remember the days when a Schleich website order came with a little surprise in a little bag that said Thank you for your order? It would be a small Schleich, like a lion cub or Smurf. That's been a few years back but i miss it...its actually how i got my first Schleich Smurfs! I'm not gonna hold my breath, but because of the sudden end of the Schleich Smurf line, i'm kinda hoping they send me an extra little surprise! Probably not, but i can dream! After all, they have to do something with the leftover stock that they can't sell now!default smiley *-)default smiley :p

Ok, i'm gonna share my tiny lil ole Schleich Smurfs collection! It might have been a little bigger if i'd realized they were doing away with them sooner, though they weren't prioritized in my collection.default smiley 8-) Several of them i got because they were the thank you gifts i mentioned getting from Schleich website orders in years past.

Here are the new ones i ordered about one day before they vanished from the website!

And here are those i had from before, including the kitty i recently shared that i got.

Now this here is super exciting to me...the Schleich website has now launched the first of their new line, and i'm super happy to have ordered this guy already (one of three available breeds)! Hoping i can manage to get the others, but i have no idea if or how long they will last before running out of stock! Nor do i know if they will go back in stock after that!
