Oops, I thought this was a weekend sale....a week is perfectly reasonable. I think my problem is that I now have another store to watch regarding my meager spending...too many great things.... Oh well, my 2cents is...keep the collections (at least til I have the money for your animals:) I've bought one and was very happy. I couldn't have afforded it without some unexpected cash, but....well, I've been quite pleased that I was able to get it! eric
