Just wondering if anyone got them all. I got all but 5 of them! Now I'm checking to see if the ones I didn't get pop up on the big E. The shipping prices were terrible. I am going to email A about it, I know it won't do any good but I think they need my 2 cents worth Michele

Just 3 for me - I preferred to spend my pennies on some of the other exclusives instead.

I did, too (actually, Bernadette picked them up for me), and as yet the post office is enjoying them! I probably won't love them all, but I don't want to be frantically searching the big E in 6 months, because I saw a clever layout using one that I didn't get in the beginning! (Is that a good enough reason?)

You have any heart punches? That is all it is

I did. I agree that the heart is really lame. It is also unbelievable that they would charge $16.99 for it. I was considering e-mailing A about that. I was able to save on the shipping, my stepfather in Ohio was kind enough to pick them up and ship them to me. Maybe if A gets enough e-mail they will rethink it. (We can always hope!) Although I'm sure they know a lot of us will continue to buy the exclusives anyway.

I got all the small ones, but have decided that for $16.99, the heart, flower and tree are going back. I may even take the present back but for now am keeping that one. It's just to much for a real normal looking heart, flower and tree. I have other things that will work just as good. If they were only $7 I would keep them but $16.99 - no thanks. Going to check for the spiderweb boarder today.

I decided against these dies:
the small heart (you all are right: lame) the two tags (nice but not $30 nice) the Film strip border (don't use and I have one from Sizzix already) Spider border & Spider Web die (I do not like spiders AT ALL!)
Will be interesting to see how the tags and the small heart sell. I bet they will do poorly.

When I was in the store today and returned my 2x2 dies I told them why and they said, yes they are hearing that about those. I said if they were $7 or $10 I would keep them but basically $17 for such a small die was just not worth it. So hopefully they will get the message. I did keep the penguin because he matches the big ones. But even that was pricey.

With so many coming out lately, I had to just pick the ones I really wanted and that was the zebra, owl and nesting stars. Though I think I'd like to have the small penguin but that lady didn't have that one so I might have to search for that one. Vicki

I have them all (well Bernadette has good care of them at the moment!). I am a true collector and plan to try to get them all over time. This will be no mean feat, but I am determined!

I only got the penguin out of the 2x2's -- the rest were kind of plain. Out of the 4x4's, I got the owl, zebra, dino, and stars. I also got the star border and web border.

Sarah xx You can do it, Sarah! To the best of my knowledge I have all of them (except the Make&Take "J-O-Y", which I didn't know even existed until I read about it on this board...if anyone knows of one, I'd love to hear about it!) Just keep watching and waiting, and they'll eventually land in your mailbox!

I am so glad that there are other people out there like me. I think of them as a tool in my scrapbooking but also as my collection. I was an obsessed 10 year sticker collector in my youth so I'm blaming that! Michele

You have to promise not to hate me. Promise? Ok, so I got today the Owl and the Zebra for 12.00 each and the itty bitty penguin for 9.00 for our favorite fan on the big E. So here is my damage so far on A's dies: - A's Leaves 14.50
- A's Bday Penguin 14.50
- A's Flamingo 12.00
- A's Arrows 12.00
- A's Owl 12.00
- A's Zebra 12.00
- A's Itty Bitty Penguin 9.00
- Fans Shipping 6.00
- Grand total-------92.00------
All this for 92.00 and not more chasing A's stores for me, enough of the high shipping pricing, nasty employees, awful CS and high price dies when I can get sweet deals and awesome CS from our fave fan on E.

I think I need to blow about $3000 to get even close to getting a head start and I don't have the cash, so sure and steady is the way for me! Just need big bonusses at work and they will flow nicely!!

When did she have those posted? I saw all the older exclusives, but I checked this morning, granted it was around 6:30, but she had none of those. Did she put more up?
I already have mine, but it's killing me, those prices? The mystery continues . . . . . .

No posting....here is how it went: I go, win a regular 29.00 auction THEN I ask our fan to add this die, and this and this and that, and ah, that other one at the reg auction price of 24.00 for 2 and how much the sweet fan will sell me the 2x2? she said 9.00 and I said 'go ahead, add them all and drop them in a cheapo first class mail' (for cheaper postage) and that's how I came to have 7 exclusive PLUS shipping for 92.00 ;D ;D ;D Complrendes?

It must be me, because when I won my last auction and wanted her to add dies, she never got back with me. I then wrote and told her to forget it, I paid for my dies and then she never left me a feedback. I need feedback because I'm trying to build my feedback base.

Yes, I got them last Saturday, pretty fast if you ask me. Only little problem was that I won the arrow and the flowers for 24.00 and I ask her to change the flowers for the flamingo (yeah, clever, lol) and she forgot, but I emailed her and Monday and within 2 hours she emailed me back apologizing for the error and told me that she is sending the flamingo by mail today with a pre-paid envelope for me to mail back the flowers. Now, THAT is customer service. I still wonder about the prices.

She has had nothing listing for a few days now. I think Monday was the last time I saw her and she had quite a few BIN that ended that night! Laura. <><
