Today has been absolutely fantastic with trading! I got the last dragon store pet set that I needed, and I even managed to grab the remaining deer that I was missing!
I can’t believe I am missing only 4 pets (not including ur) to have all my mini collections once again complete! The amount of time and effort I have put into these collections is unbelievably exhausting but I am so proud of myself for how far I have come.

I can’t tell you how much I dread December 18th and the new ur releases. I am so desperately hoping that they don’t come out with another ur that I’m going to have to scrounge around for when most of my fodder has been depleted since last year. Here’s to hoping for a calm end to 2024.

Hi, I'm unsure if I should collect all the pets on the deer lines such as the camels and goats or just specifically collect the deer? I wanna go for a full deer collection but... There are quite a few pets that are on the deer lines but not deers at all. How should I go about this?

Editing: I have also decided to collect every pony pet for a My Little Pony collection. Though, should I include all line edits or just regular looking Pony's?

Today. Today. Marks one of my greatest accomplishments of obtaining this painful and pricy ur dragon.
Between trying to even find this darn thing and then finding somebody to actually work out an offer with me. I am beyond excited and exhausted.
I can rest now until December.

Thank you to everybody who’s helped me get this far. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Congratulations! It even looks a bit like your pfp dragon haha

Since even the altered lineart (camels, store giraffes) fall under the "deer" filter when you sort them by the archive, I just count them as deer since if I didn't have those pets it would be marked incomplete by the archive. At the end of the day, though, you decide how you want to determine your collection, so you don't have to count camels or altered lineart if you don't want to!

That's what I'm stuck on. Like, how will I know if I completed my deer collection if I don't have the edited linearts? I'll probably add them to my wishlist cause I'll go insane if I don't see the completion lol.

I went through a phase of qutting CS back in the day lol. I was young and didn't really understand the forum layout and I gave away so. Much. Not any store pets that I can recall though.

As far as how I recovered it; well, I took advantage of the pound and also adoption centers. That helped a ton.

I've been on here off and on since 2011 (I spent most of that time just logging in long enough to adopt for the month, I've missed so many events ect) and I still can't wrap my mind around high value trading. I do my best and I win some, lose some, but I just try not to put too much pressure on this site.

This place is my safe space. I come here to relax and enjoy passing what little time I have to pass (I am married with young children).

I started working on a full BW collection (I literally gave all my BWs away bc i used to dislike them for some reason?) And I hosted auctions for Bulk BWs to help get me started and it honestly helped alot. Alot of people seem to like participating in Bulk auctions from my experience.

Having goals on this site can be extremely intimidating but at the end of the day this is for fun and should be treated as a fun place. I hope you find that spark again. It comes and goes for me; but I always seem to come back. feel free to message me anytime!

I definitely get that! Personally, I consider all pets on the lineart the same species, even if they are edited to be something else. Of course, It's completely up to you. I'm the same way though, I need to see the tick mark on the archives to feel like I accomplished the collection haha!
I also found bulk auctions a reaaally good way to catch up on collections. I had some rarer pets that I was willing to part with, and it helped out with a huge chunk of the pets I missed while I was gone.


@ See_Air_Ruhh_:

I agree with everything you said! I've been here since 2010, but at the time I wasn't too concerned about a full collection; I was just trying to get my dream pets and other cool pets. I took a hiatus around 2016-2017 up until 2022, so I missed a BIG chunk of adopts. I kinda wish that I had kept some of the older pets that are now hard to get a hold of! I don't think I ever owned a raven or a skelebun, but I had cerberuses and a bunch of the other store pets that are so hard to get these days!


Anyways, as this is my first time posting here: Hi! I'm Panne! Since I came back to CS in 2022, I have dedicated myself to getting a complete collection. Because I am stubborn, this means every pet, including stores.

At the moment, I have completed my monthly adopt collections from 2010-2023, with 2024 mostly complete except for some recent monthlies. Its such an exciting goal to work towards. Its slowing down a bit now, since a lot of my remaining pets are older stores, 2008-2009 pets and URs. My trading fodder is getting questionable lol!

I also a few days ago decided to reorganize my groups by month and year, so I can keep track of what I am missing a little bit better. I also plan to make a collection progress thread to have a visual place for me to check up on as well. I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but oh my gosh. I think I made over 200 new groups for each month and event, my brain is mush now!!! I'm still in the process of moving all of my collections pets. I have 15 thousand to sort through so that will definitely take a while! It'll be worth it though, to see everything nicely organized.

hi!

i've come to share my omgsr zebra collection! i have collected all
of the other zebras as well, just missing the grevy's zebra. they are surprisingly difficult to
find i've noticed. :<

i hope i manage to get the final one! the zonkey was quite difficult for me to finally trade for, so i
guess the most difficult pet is crossed of my list at least!

[Kiss Of Death]

I am so new to this type of website/game. I saw this thread and figured I'd share what I'm collecting. I am gonna get collecting every Summer Event pets, Halloween Event pets and Christmas Event pets. Due to being extremely new, I do not have many of these pets. Let me link my groups:

❄️ Christmas ❄️
🎃 Halloween 🎃
🏖️ Summer 🏖️

My dream pet is this 2010 store pet.
