Here is my top 5 list of Precious Places sets I still need for my collection:
5) The Pretty Penny Wishing Well - Aqua Well with Pink Roof
Okay, so I know it's rather greedy of me, but even though I have a complete Wishing Well set (pink wishing well with aqua roof), I still want the variation with the aqua well and pink roof. I haven't seen it on eBay recently, but I think I saw it once a long time ago, maybe... Hopefully it will come up again soon so I can be sure it does truly exist.
4) Wendy and Her Ice Cream Cart with Aqua Wheels
In my attempt to get every Precious Places piece in every color, one particular figure has been the most difficult to find, and that is Wendy and her Ice Cream Cart with aqua wheels. The particular cart I'm looking for is featured prominently on Wendy's personality card, but does it ever appear on eBay? No, it does not. Why not? This may be one of the great mysteries of the universe. Hmmmm...
3) The Mother and Baby Pony in Pink
I've got a complete Mother and Baby Pony set
with a white baby pony, but I cannot for the life of me seem to locate the pink baby pony. She's on the front of the Mother and Baby Pony box and ThisOldToy lists her as a variation, but I haven't seen her. Have you?
2) The Dining Room
I agree with ThisOldToy where they say this set is so rare that they've never seen any of the parts to the set. Where oh where art thou, my elusive Dining Room furniture set?
1) All the County Fair Sets
Now I know these were never put into mass production, but there must have been at least one prototype made of each set since they took pictures of them. What research I've done indicates that there were probably several prototypes at some point. Where are the prototypes now and how can I get one? I haven't been able to make much progress in getting answers to those questions.
If you have any of these sets, please contact me. I would be more than happy to buy them from you. And even if you don't want to sell them, please still contact me so that I at least know they exist!!!
