Re: I Thought This Was a Joke!

I don't understand collecting anything these days..Collections just turn into stuff that needs storage space...then they eventually turn into stuff that your kids have to get rid of.Little trinkets that make me happy for the moment have been replaced with experiences that give me a lifetime of memories.

Funny that the QVC price is $799.99.  Like someone wouldn't buy it if the price was $800.00.

@qvcfreak that is a really cute set and worth saving for your son as he enjoyed receiving it and probably has memories that are as special to him as they are to you.That is not a collection in the same way though.I think of that as a beautiful and sentimental memory.

Precious Moments used to be a hot collectible.  No longer, don't buy for "investment."
