Since my last update, I have received several jigsaw puzzles in the mail. From a Dutch friend I got a set of Mega-Mause jigsaws and a puzzle with Yogi Bear and Ranger Smith from the K96 series. The latter puzzle completed my set of K96 jigsaws. There were 16 different jigsaws issued with the K96 series, and some of them - especially ones featuring the K93 toys - are very rare. So I'm very happy indeed to have finally completed my set of K96 jigsaws. To get these, I had traded my sole spare of K01 No. 122 (which I had sold on eBay; the jigsaws were the "payment" on this occasion).
From another friend in Australia, I got the puzzle K03 No. 107. So I now have 5 out of 8 jigsaws in the K03 series. I traded a KFC Yowie Grey Nurse Shark for that.
When I first started collecting Kinder Surprises, I didn't really like the jigsaws, but they've kind of grown on me. Indeed, I'm quite keen to try and get the white-backed jigsaws from the K02 series! I have all the brown-backed ones, along with both brown-backed and white-backed ones from the K01 series. And am absolutely delighted to have been able to get the elusive K01 No. 122 before NZ switched to the K03 series. I think this puzzle could become quite valuable in the future.
Also added to the site is a duplicate of K03 No. 31 - pink and green dodgems. These are pretty much an exact replica of the same toy issued in the K96 series.
On the job front, I completed a really tough French job, and now have a big German job to do. However, the German job may be easier than the French job, and so despite its larger size could take less time! That would be good. But it might be a little while before you hear from me again. Until the next update, hope you get Kinder Surprised some time!
