Hi and welcome to another blog update. A little history was made with the previous entry in that a reader finally submitted a comment! Good to know I'm not talking entirely to myself! :-)
Anyway, I've added a couple of duplicates to the site, one being the recast of the cormorant puzzle that was originally issued with the K96 series. I have a full set of the K96 ones, and almost all the recast ones - just need the toucan to complete the recast set.
The other duplicate is K01 No. 81, a sort of bug with orange body and blue spikes. It came with an Argentine paper, and I thought it was an original until I realised I already had an Argentine paper for this toy courtesy of my Dunedin friend Kay. The toy itself is no different to the Italian/European version, this despite the fact that the Argentine paper implies it has eye stickers. It doesn't, although a couple of the other toys in the Argentine version of this set do.
But thinking it was an original, I put it together, so it's no longer a "mint in capsule" duplicate. But at least it has its paper and is in perfect condition otherwise.
I'm fresh out of Kinder eggs now, so a trip to the supermarket is in order! Hopefully the weather will be fine tomorrow. But if it deteriorates, then it might be a few more days before my next entry. Anyway, until next time (whenever that may be), bye-bye!
