We can not accept the elephant in blue because it is one off special see a criteria in the beginning of the thread but a regular elephant RAJ set is just fine.

Hi I thought it was a special one off too but I think I recall reading on this forum that someone else had come across another. I will try to find that post (or if the person who recalls saying that I would appreciate if they can verify that they have seen another). If it transpires that it is a special one off then I will be absolutely delighted to have that confirmed and will gladly have it rejected from this thread as it would then be in a class of its own! :)
