Hi everyone!
My name's Angela and I've recently re-discovered my love for vintage littlest pet shop toys (the new ones are reasonably cute too, but it's the one's from the 90's that I adore).
I was actually sorting through my old toys looking for things to get rid of (I have too much stuff), but when I opened up my LPS stuff I was in love again. No way I was getting rid of those things! Shortly after that I discovered Zuse's LPS guide and had to start sorting through my collection, matching all the food dishes with the right pets and so on...
My LPS collection began over 15 year ago, and amazingly I still have most of my original sets! Unfortunately, I traded, lost, or gave away a few small pieces so now I'm on the hunt to replace them.
I've also started going after sets I remember seeing when I was younger but could never convince my parents to get for me. Through ebay I've managed to get ALMOST all the sets I'm looking for, but I still have to wait and see if they all arrive in good condition with the right pieces.
I was always pretty gentle with my toys, but there's no mistake I played with them a lot! I loved setting up little diaramas with all the pets and their playsets. Actually, LPS has given me another reason to clear some more space in my house... I need a spot to display all my LPS stuff! Boxes under the bed just don't give these pretty toys justice!

From a fellow Canadian. I was a teenager when G1's came out so I am not to familiar with them. My daughters were just the right age for G2 LPS so naturally I jpined in the obsession.. Welcome and you will meet lots of wonderful people here...
