I need that one. Good find! I got a Baby Buddies Swing Set a few days ago <- I consiter those part of my LPS collection ;D Beanie sold me a bunch of stuff, like all the zoo ponies plus I got those weird-eyed Japan Puppy Pals mentioned in another post! I like to collect the boxes and the packaging but I prefer everything out of the package I like to play!!

This is an excellent idea! it's hard to know weather or not there is a thread about vintage LPS mixed in with all of the G2 discussion. and ooh! i want to see pictures if possible?
and man, where are you guys storing your collections? mine are all in a box and i would love to display them all, but don't know where. no room for a book shelf... etc etc. sigh maybe i should get one of those clear tubs to store these in from walmart...

I missed them too if it makes you both feel better . . . BUT if there's a deal today, there'll be a deal another day Lol, that's what my hubby always says. I did email that seller at the beginning and asked her if she'd take $100 for all three auctions and she said no, which makes me laugh because they all ended for about $70 together - she should have taken my offer!! She was nice though and Ah well I should stop spending anyway!

i think that anything in lots would be a good deal as compared to single sets; especially if there is a rare set within a lot. you pay the price for the rare set, Plus all of the other sets.

Yes, getting a lot would get you more sets rather than spending a lot on one set. Plus, if there was something in it you didn't want, you can always resell to someone else and make some money back. I haven't seen the swans in a LONG time! They are pretty rare as I spent $30 for my set. I'm sure another one will come up!

I saw that auction! I was gonna bid but I only wanted the deer family xD The last time they were up they went for about $25 (I was only gonna spend $18 though).
My most recent G1 purchase was the lamb. I just love him sooooo much! Got him for about $12, but I was ready to pay way more!
I display my G1 on a bookcase (it's only about 2 feet high). I also have teh G2 Polar puppies over there with the Twinkling Sled Party, since they matched sort of xD. The G2's are under my desk displayed on the Round and Round Town.

Nice deal on the lamb, moony! =D i recently purchased 2 sets in an auction which included the lamb and the calf for $20. I also got the deer set for $17. i got lucky, it was a Buy It Now price from the same seller. i was pretty excited. The deer set was missing the butterfly though. Lpscollector, where were you able to find your swans? On another note, Angelbear has adopted some Monkies from me, as I am trading with her for her Jungle Bunch set. Here are the pictures to her new animals:> i have more, but the pictures turn out huge and i don't want to lag anybody's computer. i know this has been discussed before in another thread, but does anyone know how to reduce the size of a picture when posting in a thread? the coding with photobucket is different than what i am used to... =[

I got my swans on ebay about 3 years ago. I wanted them badly so I didn't care how much they went for at the time. I was able to get my deer and fox set with a buy it now. My deer set is also missing the butterfly. I'm hoping to find another set one day that is MIP or at least a lot with the butterfly in it so it will be complete. My mission is to get EVERY g1 lps set complete as possible. I have some still carded and boxes to some sets I purchased mib. As for displaying them, I don't have anywhere to put them so I have them stored in plastic boxes from walmart >D I hope to have them on a book shelf like my g1 my little pony collection one day. It just doesn't seem right to have them sitting undisplayed They are in my tiny closet with the carded sets hanging on the wall.

lpscollector:> there actually were a couple of lots this week which included the butterfly, but both of them ended. one of them i lost a bid to [garden patch bunny set] the other was a lot of horses from the same seller that mouse and all of us mentioned in this thread about the swans. sigh. oh well, it will come up again.
has anyone noticed that there has been a lot more vintage LPS lately? i mean in like the last couple of weeks. i've also notice a lot of rare sets come out more frequently. ie: deer, twinkling, fish pond, calf, lamb and especially the lions.
and lpscollector, the old school discussion did die, and we just revived it in the last couple of days. hahaha. we got what we wanted! eventually the talk between angelbear, mouse and i have lured more people to participate with us. ;] hopefully we will continue to be able to find something to talk about.

And you guys, I am so stupid! Check out this auction, which I am sure you would have seen: cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280172595313&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018The swans are really, really, really rare. I mad a bid up to $30 US and then I thought when I'm not going to get them anyway so I might as well not both then they sold for only US $31, I think the last time I saw swans they went for like $70 US just for that one set! I think I would've been outbid anyway because the person who won bids big but I just can't believe they only went for that much! Why didn't any one else bid? HAHA. I was so obsessively watching that auction because I wanted everything BUT the swans and ducks. I'm not an avid G1 collector, so I didn't know that they were that rare. I didn't bid because I was so sure it'd go higher, but no one else bid! Ugh.

Wow this is a Great Idea for a Thread, I just joined on here last month & I didn't think anyone ever spoke in the G1 section! lol Anyways I just recently bought the Littlest Pet Shop ZOO Polar Pets! I got it for only $10 All New in Box! I think that was a good price! I always buy MIB or MOC, for the Mint On Card I will keep them on the card cause I can see them but for the Mint in Box I will OPEN them for sure cause I can't see them but I still like to buy them new! This is the 6th Kenner Littlest Pet Shop I have bought! Which isn't bad since I'm only after 25 - he he you can see all the ones I want in my sig! hey lizard, sorry for the delay, but welcome back! didn't mean to ignore ya, hun. for some reason i thought i responded to your post. help us post here on your finds, or even start a new thread if you have any new thoughts. ;]

Ugh. well, i do believe i had everything in that lot except the swans. =] so we'll just keep in touch and make arrangements later. ;D i'm waiting for more packages to arrive, do inventory/organize and such, and then i can either put them up on ebay, trade or sell the more common sets. =]
