It really has to do with sentimental reasons. My mother took off a day of work, and I took off a day of school to go see the premiere when I was little. I remember that day receiving my first collectible piece which was a free poster with all of the cast. THAT was nice. Lion King just stuck out to me at being one of thee most original and still loved movies that I've lasted through the years. I mean with Lion King you get SO MANY different items to collect ranging from Food items, to night-lights, to shirts, hats, costumes, magazines, desk lights, pens… EVERYTHING...! It just makes it SO much fun to collect! I recently obtained two new items from a claw machine for my collection as well!

1? There is no. 1!!! I'd grab my waste basket, empty it and fill it to the top before running out with a plushy or two in my teeth! *Laughs* No seriously, when a Tornado siren goes off ,I even fill up my shirt to bring them to safety in the basement to make sure they're not blown away! Hmmn, if I had to grab ONE though it would be either be my Sarabi figure since she is so rare, my TLK book that was customized to me for my birthday LONG AGO by my parents, or this Timon plushy for sentimental reasons.

Well, usually this sort of thing happens by chance. Normally I'm not expecting to find any food items with Lion King on it nowadays, so when I do I usually snag it just to save the boxes and savor the memories. The Nightlights were something I discovered with my mother when I was little and shopping around Meijer's... or K-Mart. We just happened upon them when she went into the home improvement sections of the store. Though there's this thrill of excitement when you find these unexpected things! It's like, "COOL!! I never knew they had that!!" They used to have a TLK ceiling fan at Home Depot when I was little and I always wanted it, but, mother said no . Crud.
