Collection Discussion Thread ♡ NEW Poll!* ♡

[pigeon -]

kind of shocked how difficult equine species have been to collect! all of my other collections
were completed within a few days or a week or so, yet horses and drafts are taking so much
longer! my horses i've been going at for months, and the drafts haven't moved either. like I
figured that they'd be easier to collect than the cats, dragons, dogs, pps lions, but apparently
not. i hate not being able to send trades out or not receive any that I want to start a new
collection, but then i'll be stuck in the same boat because again, I don't have the fodder xD

collecting is a vicious cycle of pain x.x


@thornes: congratulations! that's such a huge achievement! i wish i had the perseverance you had
to get the last three i need for a full but it's so far out of reach i'm glad somebody else has managed
to complete it! must be such a relief to have it all done and dusted, again, massive congratulations!

@youtube.com: aaaah, well done on that little guy! a lion collection is so impressive! congrats on the progress c:

I did it! I finally did it! I now own a complete store pet collection, as of August 8th this year. I've been wanting this ever since I joined, because there have always been so many store pets that were my favorite CS pets ever. I just want to say that I couldn't have done it without all these amazing people supporting me, rooting for me and even helping me out. All of the sudden, as soon as I finally traded for the marionette, I also managed to cross of the last few I needed from 2011. It's such an amazing feeling to check off that last box and finally see a complete store pet collection right in front of you. I have worked on this ever since I joined back in 2015, yet, I've only actively been searching for the harder to get ones since around May this year.

So thank you guys. All of you. I'm wishing all of you good luck on your collections, and just keep in mind, never give up! You can still do this! No matter how hard your goals are! <3

Next Goal?

So now I'm a bit unsure as to what to do. I think for now I'll just stick to hoarding and adopting the monthlies before I settle for another goal. Collecting store pets has asked a lot of attention of me so I'm just gonna relax for now. Although I already have plans on trying for a complete dog collection next.

Congrats, congrats, congrats I am very happy that you made this big massive milestone. I am (unfocused) trying for a Store Pet Collection too so I can feel the pain you must go through for some of the rather elusive Store Pets to obtain them.

So really congrats on this, you can now settle and calm down for a bit :3 A complete Dog Collection is a huge goal too so you may go for a relaxing goal first? But some ppl like the challenge so may go for it

Your last words are so true xD Yes, the Horses & Drafts are harder then they seem but don't give up! You find the person who will trade you the missing ones :3

With this new event I am back to a full WL page of pets I am missing, and still haven't found a tiger or cinni, not that I can afford them right now haha, trading has seemed harder lately though.

[HimikoToga]

Finished Easter 2013 this morning! Only one more pet for 2013 (minus store pets and special releases) until 2013 is complete!

I have a question for y'all. How do you keep track of the pets/items you still need? Do you write them down, check your wishlist or something else?

I keep track of them on my notes on my phone

[AnewLeif]

Does anyone arrange their pets by month instead of lineart? I can’t seem to find anyone else who arranges theirs like I plan to

I organize mine by year and then month for monthlies. You can look at my groups for some inspiration.

Same! It's a bit messy right now lol. I need to work on it when I have a working computer again.

Thank you! I might take on a more relaxing goal first, but I'm not sure yet. I think for now I've just added all dogs I still need (which is 29 pages lol, haven't had a wishlist this big in ages!) and just casually hoard and collect them without worrying too much about actually completing. I actually discovered I'm missing more 2013-2019 pets than I am missing 2009-2012 pets wow! xD

[.Anura.]

Most of the pets I need now are all tier 1 advents, yet no one is willing to trade off the list even when I overpay :') ahhh i love collecting

[MySpoons]

I've made little progress this year because of mental health things but I'm still moving along c: I'm actually doing auctions for my FR things and spare store pets finally!

Trying to find that rare butterfly wolf from the summer event is causing me more trouble than it's worth. I think I need to wait for the hype to go down The lovely TwistedDreams traded me one <3

Congrats, Thornes!!! That's an amazing achievement!

[madisong]

hurray! I’ve decided to go for store pets for the third time haha. I’ve made some huge progress lately thanks to some amazing friends of mine <3 I’m still missing around 17 non list & 38 list ones until I can say I’m finally done with one of my biggest goals since I’ve joined. I’ve completed 2019 through 2016 with a few stragglers holding me getting down to 2013 c:

since my last post, I’ve completed 2019-2012! I’m one away from 2011 being complete with 15 total store pets left. Of course, these buggers are the pets like the cerbs, skelebun, & liontails so it’ll be a bit before I can say im done. Such progress in the last few days!

woosh, I’m back haha.
Since my last post..
I’ve completed store pets from 2019-2011!!
I’ve got a total of 10 pets left. 4 from 2010 (red cerberus, marionette, pink punk & blue punk) and 6 from 2009 (all but the jeweled liontail).

@catwithsomeconk
I’m so happy to see that you’re already so far with your collection! 10 pets isn’t a lot considering where you have started off, sadly those last ones may be the most difficult to get though,,
I wish you the best of luck ❤️

Finally I get to cross another UR Food off my wishlist!
I’m still in shock, I’ve always been a big fan of the fruit so this is my biggest achievement by far!
I am at 3 out of 9 foods, which means I’m a third done~
I haven’t actively been trading for these at all, so to have gotten this far is truly amazing.
I definitely wouldn’t have been able to even get one single fruit without any of my friends support~

Thanks to one of these amazing friends I am now owning one of the first four animal eggs as well!
That brings my item collection down to a total of 87 items missing, I honestly can’t believe it.
I still need to get 53 free items and 34 retired store items, but I’m really happy about owning all of the current store items already~
Just a few months ago I was stuck at 12 WL Pages and now I’m down to 2? This is all so unreal.
I have completed 2008 and 2013-2019 so far and I only need one more item to complete 2012, so hopefully I’ll be able to cross that off the list soon too!

On a further note though,
I decided to collect all of the pets with an eclipse or half moon marking or design!
It took quite a while to go through the entire archive and track down all of the pets, but it surely was worth it.
I’m at 87 out of 129 pets already in less than two weeks, so maybe I will be able to finish this collection within the year~
I’m not yet sure if I actually want to include the four list pets too, however I already have the blue toxic so only moonswirl bun, nonswirl and moonswirl would be missing,,
