yep it was 14, to question 16! I almost forgot the picture frame myself.. hes the rest of the answers. I included toots but not little plum. :)

erm, im pretty sure the only two without boxes were free gifts, and i know i had a box for cactusville, and the 2 later ones.. so ill say dans shaving kit, and menacing toys (maybe!) ;)
Snowmenaces was ltd to 2000 (ive just cheated and looked in the book!)

Good questions I know most of them without help but some will cause a few headaches the jumper one I will have to look in the annuals for that one.

As for my question Danta Claus came with a red folded cardboard piece to put in front of him that reads as follows Danta Claus Limited Edition 1997.

A couple more questions for you

I haven't looked myself yet but how many pieces from the collection does Dennis appear in?
Also what is the new pieces for 2006 ( come on Cinta you must know the answer to this one we won't tell anyone )

[ruthie]

Don't know many of the answers as I have only been collecting about a year! I was wondering, Steve, what the book you mentioned looking in was? Did you just mean the brochure or has a book with all the figures in been produced, and if so where can I get it? Thank you
Ruthie

[POPPY]

Hi Ruthie
He was either looking at a brochure a list of produced pieces as unfortunatly there is no book of produced piece as yet we have asked if we could have one but I think for all the different collection over the years it logistically it would be a night mare.
I don't know if you have a list or not but I'm sure If you asked nicely somebody would send you one as unfortunatly I haven't updated mine.

[Steve_H]

Poppys right, it was the journals and catalogues i was looking in. If you need the list id be glad to email it you... theres a thread with the list in it which i posted a month back now (but i recently spotted quite a few mistakes in it, which ive now edited)

Never spotted that danta claus thing before, its probably lying dormant in the bottom of the box still! :)

ill have to have a think about that dennis question, im determined not to cheat!
