Stuck on only having 3 pages left of wl items, but im okay with it. Recently its been getting harder to trade for them? I guess people are more interested in items now

Just need one last pet to finish my summer events collection! This little bugger has been avoiding me though lol

And im down to single digits on non-list store pets with 9 left

Feeling a little down so I thought I would share some progress I have had recently with my collections. ^^,

A question for you all...
What do you do about collection pets who belong in two different groups?
For example, if one of your collection pets is a Dreamie, do you put it with your other Dreamies, or do you put it with your Collection Pets? If you put it with your other groups, do you just have one less in your collection groups, or do you have to get doubles?

-----

Personally, for me it depends;
Dreamie overlaps go with my collection groups
Pound overlaps go with my collection groups
Normal gift overlaps go with my collection groups
Rare+ gift overlaps go in my Gifts folder -- which means I usually have to obtain doubles of that pet, so I can have one in each group :,,D
In terms of hoard overlaps, one pet goes in my collections and the rest go in hoards!

I do have that trouble too^^
I have a Dreamie Showcase Group and the Collection Groups for them.
But normally I do it this way:

Normal gift overlaps go with my collection groups

I keep one gift pet (usually a Hoard Pet if one is included or a Non WL pet) in my Gifter Showcase and put all others where they belong. If the gift is complete Non WL they go to my Trade Group if I don't love their designs. I still appreciate the gift but I think it is in the gifters mind if I get something I want with them If I love the designs they go in my Dress Up Group or Item Hoard Group ^^
If all pets are WL I name one after the kind Gifter and sort them all in and put a Trade Group Pet I adopted in the Gifter Showcase. So I can showcase the gifter without stating someone else was it when you look at the pet and a different name is the giver name.
(If someone change his username and I have a gift pet from him in my gifter showcase, the name change is seen by the pet so every pet with different trader names -> the gifter changed his username ^.^)
Same goes for my rare gifts I get.

Pound overlaps go with my collection groups

Pound goes straight either Trade Group, Possible Hoard/Hoard Group or Collection since I don't keep all my Poundies in one group ^.^

In terms of hoard overlaps, one pet goes in my collections and the rest go in hoards

Hoards after Collection. Why? I need only one of this pet for my collection but more for my Hoard so I finish first the collection, then the Hoard

Dreamie overlaps go with my collection groups

This is the hardest one. I used to have a Dreamie Showcase group but I don't like, that the numbers are so off. So currently I've made myself a compromiss.
All Minor Dreamies are going straight to their collection group, all Major Dreamies will be dressed up (and be kept until I feel like I've finished them in the Showcase group) and after I finished them, go to their collection group. But that I can look at them all together and enjoy myself on their beauty, I've made a special part in my Trading Thread were all are listed together (archieved and not archieved) and linked to the pet (you can view it here)

If I one day are finished with my Main Goal I will hunting doubles of my Dreamies to showcase them

Sorry for late response, had this ready written but forget to send xD

I was able to cross two more wishlist pets off of my wishlist this morning! Nothing crazy, just two rare rats, but progress nonetheless, so I’m happy about it!

So, I've always thought of my staff dog collection as complete.
But I recently looked through the group.
And while I do have every outcome, it just isn't right.
Two of the 2009 staff dogs are re-releases, so they
don't show up next to the other 2009 staff dogs, and
that just feel so... wrong.

I've decided to try and do date swaps, but I've never
done any date swaps before and I fear it will be difficult,
as many people consider "true dates" to be more valuable
than re-releases. Anyway, I'm gonna give it a try! I want my
collection to be as satisfying as possible.

the very last 2015 rat I need ;w;
the summer event rats are always the hardest to snag~

[fika.]

ee, i've almost done it.

four more.

four more kittens and lions.

my most recent addition!


although it is soooo so so nice seeing my get lower in my wishlist, it sure is hard with only '08 pets and a ur pet to go.
two years doing this, and i reckon i can complete it within a few months (fingers crossed).

So I've sort of unofficially decided to work on my Store Pet collection even though it feels painfully impossible most days. I have years 2012-2017 completed and I only need 9 more non-list pets. The lists on the other hand seem like an unreachable dream. I came to the difficult decision that I'm willing to trade pets out of my collection for them though so maybe I'll get there! I thought I had successfully traded for the Eat Me/Drink Me set yesterday (I literally almost cried) but I think my trading partner may have changed their mind as they've gone rather silent. But the trade hasn't been cancelled yet so... Fingers crossed.
