    @SuperStrangeSam, I once bought those on eBay a very long time ago. It was a lot of 12 cases.

    Hi, How do you tell they are first edition?

    @Nat, The 1st UK Editions have different colours than the 2nd UK Editions. Also their fur is softer and the stuffed animals are a bit bigger.
    They also have a looped tush tag and the inside and outside of the hang tag is different.

    @Daphne, thanks. I've started collecting beanie boos and that helps me to let me know what to look for.

    @Daphne Goodness gracious! That is one expensive beanie boo! Way too expensive for my wallet! � Well, I’m glad you were able to get him! Don’t stop collecting. �

    I do have another question though if you don't mind, how were you able to tell that this UK Kiwi was in fact real and not a fake? Which would be rather unfortunate, but I ask this only because I have a hard time spotting whether rare beanie boos are fakes or not if the fake is not obvious.

    @#1HarryPotterFan, To me it's rather obvious I think. They ways I can tell it's a real one and not fake were already mentioned above in the link I passed on.

    @Savannah Miller, I mostly find mine on eBay or in my local Claire's store, but lately that store has been closed. Recently my friend from the USA Melissa sends me some Beanie Boos.

    $800 is quite a lot, but then again, it's worth it so close to completing the set!

    Dang!!! That is more money than I have! Congrats on getting him! Now all you need to complete the collection or UK first editions is Bubblegum. Good luck finding him/her.

    Omg!! I always wanted original Peanut!! He’s so cute and I’d absolutely go bonkers if I could buy him from you. It’s fine if you don’t want to, it’s just I’m a little jealous because I’ve never seen anyone with a near complete collection of the 1st uk release. They are literally the rarest beanie boos EVER!!

  • #33

    Daphne (beanieboocollection) (Wednesday, 17 August 2022 23:59)

    @beanieboobytes, Sorry they're not for sale since I'm a collector myself, but I guess you already knew what my answer was going to be ;)
    Btw, in the mean time I got all 7 1st UK's, so now you know someone with a complete collection :)
