I'll give him my want list in any case lol
bumping in hopes of getting more info
EDIT:
Actually my Dad's refusing to even bother looking. I was just asking that if he goes past any toy store to just stop and ask an employee if they have any of the items (flash the page with pictures and names and stuff)... but he says he's going to be busy with the conference. I didn't have much hope that he'd find anything but to flat out refuse to even bother looking is kinda mean, it's not like he's going to be busy 24/7!
He doesn't support my collecting at all but I've been really supportive of his most recent hobby (jewellery making and gem collecting, I'm doing a uni course and helping him get info and supplies), and he's in fact heading over early so he has time to do some touristy things and check out some sort of gem oriented stuff. So he has time for his own hobby but not mine.
Nobody in my family is overly supportive, I don't drive so when I want to go pony hunting I fit it around other tasks like shopping and picking up materials for university, so it's not just TAKE ME PONY HUNTING! it's also useful for whoever is taking me.
just needed to vent
