I always thought the box would say includes exclusive pet for a special one. To me if it says includes 4 more pets they might be re-packs. I usually need to see the word exclusive.

I've pondered about these two kitties myself and I had come to the conclusion that they were the same kitty. That is, until this bonus set showed up giving the "new" kitty a new number. There may be some very minute differences between the two that maybe you could see if you actually had the two pets side by side, but it's pretty much impossible to see any substantial differences from the pictures. The one thing I have noticed is that the grey markings on the face of the "new" kitty seem to be smaller than those on the 468 kitty.

Yes, but for me and many of the other completist here, if it has a different number, then for all practical purposes it is a different pet.

I personally don't collect doubles that are the same but have been given the same number by mistake. So, if that's the case, then I already have it (wishful thinking ). But you are right, until we have 2 of them side by side to compare, there is no point in guessing. Thanks all the same

Thanks for the advice! I just went to the Sam's Club website and I was just about to put in my zip code, but I won't do that now. I saw all the numbers, which is helpful. I am so torn about this set. I love the sugar gliders, but I really try not to buy duplicates of the bigger sets, and I'm not a Sam's Club member anyhow. Guess I will have to do some thinking about it... Robin I am a Sam's Club Member and would be glad to help you out just let me know. Thank you Kim! ;D I'm still trying to decide what I want to do about it. Kevin gave some good advice : The bonus pets usually flood ebay right around Christmas, so you should be able to pick up just the sugar glider for cheap as long as you do it before they sell out. Though I'm worried I'll miss out. I missed out on the On The Go Purse Sugar Glider when it was on ebay. The good thing about it is that there are 4 bonus pets, so if you buy the set for around $20, you're basically buying the 4 pets for $5 each. Less, if you then turn around and sell the building and two regular pets to someone for $5 or $10. It's hard to justify buying a second set when there's only a couple of bonus pets, but when there's 4 or 5 bonus pets, then you end up not paying much more than you would just buying 4 Portable Pets. I agree about the cost per pet. It's not that, it's more do I have room to store another set? I actually like this purple one better than the original orange one. But I am so running out of room, and then there's just spending too much in general with so many pets coming out. Like I said, I'll have to think about this some more before I make a decision...

Thanks all the same Those kittys' didn't sell well cuz I am seeing alot of them in the stores still and BBTS had them on clearance. Maybe Hasbro is sticking them in these sets as a duplicate with a different number to get rid of them

Whhy! Must they put the cute pets in dif. colored houses that have already 2 other stores that have these sets w/ bonuses. I was so mad when they recolored the playhouse at Kohls because I never found it in stores and the green was too cute! I mean, when a few things like accessories are off color its ok but not the whole playset! And the pets- what would I do with the ones that would originally come with it besides eBay?

I Completely understand!!!
I collect AND sell....and I HATE to have to buy something I already have 6 or 7 of...just to get an exclusive pet!
Grrrr....it's like the Get Better Center wtih all the different exclusive variantions. I have 2, and there is a third out there. And now the Playhouse...and Gym!

I think that the diference between the cats is that one of them has some marks on his tale.
