Hey Everyone!! Just wanted to join the "madness" lol. Its great to have people to talk to with the same obsession. I am definitely new to this forum thing though. I did read the rules though and I am looking forward to chatting with all of you and getting to know new friends through here. I have a question about the seaside celebrations playset the one with the pelican, fish and dog. Didn't know if I should post it here or start a new thread so here goes... Its been driving me crazy that certain newly released pets are not in my stores and I live in a suburb by a decent size city, the twin cities in MN to be exact. But the one that gets me the most which I really want bad is the seaside celebrations playset. Does anyone know where this set was released??? I can get it online but I would like to know where if anywhere in the U.S. it was released and if its still available.

Welcome!!  As for your question --- The new Seaside Celebration just started to hit stores in the last few days. I am in the Quad Cities (Iowa!), not too far from you, and I haven't heard of any sitings in the Midwest yet. I love that little set, too, my daughter loves the fish and the dachshund pets the most, so that set is a must-have for us. A few board-members in California have found it. So it'll make it's way here, eventually! The boards have definitely fed my addiction, too -- I discovered pets I would never have known about, and am now more obsessed about collecting them then my daughter (who has to get one every time we leave the house, haha!) |

Thank You Allison!! That gives me some hope. I'll still hold out for it then even though its really REALLY tempting to buy it online. Thanks again! Maybe you can answer this next question, is there a spot on here where people can go to see what new sets and pets are available where and what stores they have been spotted at. Not only would I LOVE to know for myself but I would like to help others out who can't find certain ones in their area. I would even be willing to pick one up at a local store for someone who can't find what they are looking for if pets are available here and not where they are. And vica versa. I have a paypal account so of course I would be willing to pay up front if someone would find me what I am looking for and same goes for me doing a favor for someone else.  ) By the way, how much was the seaside celebrations going for, 9.99? And what store did you find it at? |

I am still looking for the Seaside set, myself. I've been stalking my Walmarts, since that's where it has been located on the West Coast... I'd imagine sometime next week or so, it'll be hitting the Midwest, so I'm keeping my eyes open! If I come across another one, I'll definitely pick it up for you! Check out the Buy/Sell/Trade boards, here: lpscollectors.proboards56.com/index.cgi#tradesAnd make a wishlist, that helps, too! I've picked up a lot of new sets for others in the past week, and have managed to buy some older sets from board-members, too. It's wonderful! The Checklist has been wonderful for me, too: lpscollectors.proboards56.com/index.cgi?board=g2refWhenever someone finds something new, they normally post with the location/price, here: lpscollectors.proboards56.com/index.cgi?board=lpsnewHope that helps, and again, Welcome!! I just joined a few weeks ago, and I already feel so comfortable here! |

Hello, Thanks everyone for being so great!! I love it here, it feels like home to me. One note: I FINALLY found Seaside Celebrations at my Walmart. Yaaaaahoooooo!! Super happy if you all can't tell. Just wanted to share with people who understand the obsession and excitement. And by the way...I collect these cute little creatures all for myself. LOL

Congrats on the Seaside!! Can't wait to get mine. I went hunting for the three new sets, and only managed to find a discarded-in-the-Easter-section Birthday set! So hopefully will find the other new ones. |
