I do have a few names
-wizard

-storm
great ideas! Although I don't really like wizards and storm is kind of before a rainbow, I think those are amazing ideas! Storm actually is a very good name, I might try it! These are the first schleichs I've ever had, so I'm very happy with your suggestions!

Lol, happy belated birthday to you guys!

I got some new (but not NEW new Schleich...as in not this years lol) models today!

Click to display
First off i'll get this out of the way...yes, i did get ANOTHER mini spinosaurus as a thank you lol. I'm up to four of them now!

I also got the exclusive Trakehner Mare!



I got the exclusive American Saddlebred Gelding. I wanted the mare too but she was out of stock. I'll likely have to try to find on Ebay, because i'm pretty sure she retired at the end of the year. Hope i can eventually get her!



Another one i got is the Oviraptor dinosaur! I don't full on collect the dinosaurs, but i do think they are pretty cool! I like to get them now and then when i can.



The last one i got was this little guy, just cause he was cheap and cute lol. Its the Utahraptor Mini Key Ring.



That's all for now, so until next time...default smiley (b)

Those are some nice finds! Wasn't the special American Saddlebred mare released in the 2nd half of 2021? That's a short run if they are retiring it. It's been out of stock for a long time on the website too default smiley :( The Utahraptor keyring is very cute!

Still waiting on my Schleich order to be processed... But I did get my first CollectA model arrive today, so that's made up for it.

Did you order from the schleich-s website? Cause i had the same issue. I usually get a notice my order has shipped and a tracking number, and it comes in a few days. With this last order though, it was a week after i ordered and i hadn't even received the usual email and number (i did get the initial email that my order was being processed though), so i sent an email to their customer service asking if the delay was because they were backlogged from Christmas, or that perhaps my order had been lost or forgotten, you know, just politely asking if everything was ok on their end. I never did get a response, so was rather disappointed. Then this past weekend, out of the blue, my package showed up. I never did get a shipment notice, tracking number, or reply to my email. Very odd. Perhaps that is what is going on with yours?

I did, yes. So I am hoping it is due to the holidays and large amount of orders. Though I have noticed that half of the models I ordered are now out of stock... Here's hoping it arrives sometime this month!

On the upside, I found out that one of my local toy stores is now stocking some Schleich models, specials no less! But it was a very small selection (four small shelves of just the black T-Rex, and some sets). I guess that's another reason to go outside on my lunch breaks default smiley (lol)

Them being out of stock would make me very nervous lol...but hopefully your order will go ahead and come like mine did.

You must mean the special Shadow T-Rex? I have the red special one. But on my list of which Schleich to get, that one is kinda down there so not sure i will ever have it before it retires lol. If only money was no object!default smiley :p

Lo and behold, I check my emails and my order has been processed and handed over to the delivery company. That'll be a few more days for it to jump across some water default smiley (lol)

I went to the store today, and the guy I saw last time was there, and he (unfortunately) recognised me. Now I need a new store to go to! Only two shelves of the black/Shadow T-Rex, is it called the Shadow T-Rex? I was tempted to, but I got the First Steps on the Western Ranch instead, as I don't have ay dinosaurs for him to be friends with. Looking at the red T-Rex, I think I prefer that one to the black/Shadow one. Turned round, and there was more Schleich default smiley :o I could feel my bank account screaming at me as I picked up Sea Unicorn mare as well. Got home, and my dad thrusted his phone in my face to show me a picture of... More Schleich! From a different toy store in another town. Oh someone take my bank cards away from me!

Looking on the website again, it looks like the special American Saddlebred mare is in stock now.

Oh good, i'm so glad your order is going through...but i'm so sorry you have to wait for it to hop the pond! Its hard enough waiting a few days to a week!default smiley :s

The First Steps thing looks cute! And i hear you about the bank cards lol! Seriously though, some guy is bothering you at the store? Good grief, can't a girl browse through some Schleich in peace?default smiley (li)default smiley xd

I did go look at the website again, and the Exclusive Saddlebred mare is still out of stock, but the regular one is still in stock, so you might have confused the two? Either that or they sold out again really quickly!

Hopefully be here next week!

Well, not bothering, but they now know me so are happy to chat about things. But I just want some Schleich default smiley xd

Are we taking about the same one? This one I have as the exclusive Saddlebred mare. Maybe their stock levels is different for different areas!

That's the one! But i just checked for a third time, and according the US Schleich site, it is completely and totally still out of stock lol. We must be looking at different Schleich sites, probably for different countries!default smiley 8-)

I did manage to get a Schleich from my wish list today! Took a little road trip and got the Schleich and a couple Breyers! Here's the Schleich:

Click to display
I scored an awesome deal on the Carriage Ride With Picnic! I think the little carriage is so adorable! The price was what was holding me back. I don't buy too many Schleich packs like this. The store i went to had it originally at $30 (the website has it listed at $35!), but it was discounted to almost half price. But THEN, there was also a notice on the shelf it was on the items with yellow clearance stickers (which it had) were an additional 25% off! So i took it up to the register and had them ring it up to double check the price (i'm terrible at math ha ha) and make sure it was another 25% off, and it was! It rang up at a whopping $13.49 instead of the original $30. So i'm thrilled to add it to my collection!default smiley ^)



As for the Breyer:

Click to display
The same store that i got the discounted Schleich also had discounted Breyer. I also got a great deal on the Spotted Wonders set from the Breyer's Freedom Series.



The other Breyer i got, though from a different store, was also discounted!default smiley <:o) I am pleased to have the "Gangsters" set, Tony Da Pony and Bugsy Maloney! Especially since i THINK i read somewhere that they just retired at the end of last year. Its possible i'm wrong, but i always thought they were so cute, so i'm happy to have them regardless!



With so many discounts, and knocking a couple off my wish list, i consider it a good day!default smiley (b)

I'd hurry on those fruity unis if you can...i understand that they were a short release and retired at the end of last year. That's why i was in a hurry to collect them then.

That's crazy that you have had so many messed up ones. I haven't seen very many of those. The most i've seen is getting the occasional horse in the mail that had a bent leg.
