Searching for the Dalmatian family

[sass413]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm searching for the Dalmatian family or any other mom and puppies set, besides the collie and terrier family, which I already have. Kitty families are more than welcome too! Thanks in advance!

Hello and Welcome,

The dalmatian family is up on Ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1994-Puppy-in-My-Pocket-Dalmation-with-Puppies-New-On-Card-51-/131381213444?pt=Pretend_Play_Preschool_US&hash=item1e96ee3904

Generally, you just have to be patient when it comes to ebay, and do various searches. I always do a search for "animal hospital" as well as "puppy in my pocket".
I properly started looking about a year or two ago, and in that time I managed to find 16 of the 21 families I was really after, as well as a lot of the individuals. Since finding this site my want list has expanded a bit, but it's fun watching the bidding wars on ebay for the ones I don't want.

Yep, the Dalmatian family is relatively easy to find on eBay if you're patient. But it's always good to check here too, since we're usually cheaper. I don't have a spare set, but someone else might!

A seller has just put on quite a few sets, which some of you may need, including family sets

Oh wow, that person does have a lot...They look in pretty good condition too. The brown bunnies and the brown-spot dalmatian family are some I've added to my wishlist since joining this site, but I'll have to think about bidding on them as I was hoping to spend January testing out paints and techniques for restoring and repainting them, so I will probably just wait. It'll be interesting to see how much some of them go for, especially the Friends Series they've got up.

Awesome, thanks piddy. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on that Thoroughbred family set! (Side note: before I saw that card I assumed Cody was the father and Magic was the mother ^^; )

This seller is also very good for family sets. I've bought a number of sets off them, and I can definitely recommend them. At the moment they have a St Bernard family for sale, as well as a Siamese cat family, black and white longhair cat family and the Tara and Tom cat family.

Thanks guys. I wound up buying the Dalmatian family on eBay, it was brand new in the package and arrived in 2 days. I'm very pleased with the seller.

Happy you found them!
