Thanks Brendan. The collecting spree is just about over. The serious hunting for long retired pieces is about to begin.

Yes Mike, you are there in rapid time. Finding further treasures will require much searching now, but if anyone can do it, I believe it is you. Amazing what you have managed to accomplish in such a short time. Robin.

THX Robin. I believe in striking while the iron is hot.

Your collection is coming along nicely, Mike. I had almost purchased one of those little treasure boxes a while back. Excellent!

Thank you Rob. The "Treasure Box" of Bastet is very nicely done as well as the two Sphinx and the god statuettes, all from Summit Collection Gifts.
