Can someone look on my wishlist and tell me how many umcommons and below I need to finish 2017?

98 pets if i counted right

I just got my wishlist back down to 18 pages, whew
I've got maybe 3 uncommons and below left, then everything else is rare or VR T-T

that feeling when

you have them all but one
look at her she is mocking me she knows I intended to get them all but miscounted and ended up with 5/6

rip

On the bright side (I think??), there's been some progress in my item collection, I've managed to get some pieces from sets here and there. Now I've found myself with a whole bunch of sets that I'm only missing a single item to complete e - e

oh my gosh, she's definitely mocking you lolol
Congrats on the collection progress though!! i'll take a look and see if I have anything you're missing 8D

I had a good trading day yesterday, I managed to offsite trade for this guy:

Sorry if this is a bit long and not what I'm supposed to post haha

So I currently have two major collections:
My Bones Collection and my Lion Collection. Honestly I can't even remember when I started these but it was around the time I came to Chicken Smoothie in 2011. For my bones collection I have everything but the skelebun and the skeleton PPS and I'm finding it so difficult because for the skelebun, all I have are two mid-september low demand pets and for the skeleton PPS all I have are above-the-gap list pets and no one is looking to trade up *sigh* so I'm pretty stuck there. And then for my lion collection, I started it around the same time as my bones collection (2015) and I have 109/120 lions. I am missing 3 of the 2017 store pets, 7 of the 2016 store pets and the UR lion. The UR lion is going to be super tricky because i would either have to trade down from the UR Pheonix (and I can't find anyone who can/will trade down) or trade up with the flower pot (which has bad demand and I'm lacking the pets for a trade up).

All in all im so excited to be so close but I'm really stuck and that sucks but at the same time I never thought id be able to get the august PPS and the July Lioness and I did, so I guess all I need is to stay determined.

To other lion collectors out there: I'm not sure if I should be collecting all lions or all pets with the lion-outline. Like when you search Lion in the archive there are some pets that are designed to be t-rex's or another animal that use the lion outline as a base. I want to know what other people are doing because if I'm going to all this trouble to collect all the lions I don't want to have a collection thats semi-complete compared to other lion collectors

Thanks for reading! Its so nice to share the journey : )

@✌ pigeon Congrats on finishing your 09 staff litter!! Also that advent group, oh my gooosh. They look so fantastic all sat next to eachother, that's a real treat to see!

@Irisidium thank you! i'm so happy to have done the advent litter, i'm tempted to try and get
the pps ones now from that giant adoptable litter but i'm not 100% decided on it yet as i still have
four pets to get for my dreamies collection ~ yellow, toxic, blue rose, WWA & joker, the joker is
one i've pretty much scratched off as i don't have the spare pets for it, hoping for dec 18th! c:



Do you have any collection goals you completed in 2016? Any goals for 2017?

Well, i didn't really have any collections is 2016 only hoards, so my goals were only for 2017,
which i'm surprised to say i've completed quite a few! some are really small others are bigger,
but these are the ones i've completed in 2017 ~ all collections are off-list ones

Species Collections
PPS sitting lions
Zodiac dogs
PPS blanket kittens
PPS standing kittens
PPS blanket dogs
PPS standing dogs
PPS caterpillars
PPS cocoons
Adult butterfly wolves
Salmon squads
Staff litters
Warrior Cats

The warrior cats i've had trouble completing but after an accepted trade today, I finally did it!
With that trade getting me bluestar, I now officially have no collections and i'm kind of lost.
does anyone have any ideas? I don't like massive massive collections like the adult dogs
species, or ones that are huge demand like the lions so i'm not sure what the middle
ground would be, so i'd love to hear some opinions or what collections you've done
yourself that you enjoyed doing? i'm sad my wish list is like 12 pets long xD

Do you have any collection goals you completed in 2016? Any goals for 2017?

Took a looong hiatus up until about july of this year, so no goals for 2016. My goals for 2017 (or more like the last half) is to narrow down my pet wishlist to 50 pages. I'm at 55 now! but school is about to start so i'll have very limited trading time, probably saved for when there are events. I started at around 80 pages, so i think that's pretty good progress!

--EDIT--

omggg thanks to a super kind gift, i'm now at a 49 page wishlist thank you so much to that kind gifter!

i guess i need to set a new goal then! i think since i was 5 pages away before the gift, i'll just make it 45 pages? i would make it 40 but i don't think that's possible since they're almost all rares

oh my gosh.. i finally got around to organising my list groups into small collections/litters! so i now have ~

the 'précieux' vault
ninety-nine balloons
brothers by blood
rose coloured glasses - incomplete dang it
sleipnirs standing tall
winter snuggles
stitches stick together
pink, pink and more pink
hiding in the woods - another incomplete, another dang it
why the long face
pick 'n' mix

they were all in one giant group but when i started completing collections/litters,
my ocd decided that putting them in their own group would be easier than trying
to date swap, because even doing that my balloon dogs never sat together aha :*

Code: Select all

[b]when it comes to list pets, do you use one group to house them?
or do you split them up in a particular way ~ such as litters?[/b]

also, i've finished all of my species type of collections so anyone have any idea on new ones? c:

Do you have any collection goals you completed in 2016? Any goals for 2017?

A little late, oops!

I didn't really have any goals for last year as I wasn't really into collecting at that point in time. As for this year, I have a similar goal as Yammie - get my 54 page WL down to 45 pages!

My blue flower advents have their own group
And my list store pets are sorted with my store pets
Everything else is in one group

My groups are just an exact mirror of the archives, so wherever they are in the archives, that's the group of mine they'll go in too.

Talking of I just got this guy for my collection!! 585 pets remaining, and only 2 more pets for my 2009 store pets 8D
