Default Milton Bradley Creation Foldin' Art

Hi all,

Good Friday turned out to be a good friday for me, had the day off from the office, and i was able to sleep in a bit.

After showering and getting dressed, I headed out to some of the local hobby stores and craft stores, Mom is in need of Puzzle glue, I got what she wanted.

After getting the glues, I visited Target, and went to the toy and game section, and looking at their puzzles, I came across the following kits
Milton Bradley Creation Foldin' Art
Malamute puppy, Cobra, Elephant, T-rex and Horse.

I promptly bought all 5 kits, giving Target some data on the sale of these kits.

Seeing that I was out and about, I decided to drive down to ToysRUs, they didn't have any, looked in the puzzle section and the Arts & Craft section, NOTHING.

I went down to the K-Mart which was nearby the ToysRUs store, found one more kit, a small kitten.

Walmart, NOTHING, again, and they claim that they are the biggest seller of toys, and they didn't have that, wierd......

I got home, after deciding that the haul I had was pretty decent.
Got online, went to Hasbro.com nothing on their site, I did email their customer support, and I will report back what they say.

I did do a quick search on www.3dpaper.com the korean model makers.
and i came across the Alaskan Malamute puppy, and it is the same
http://www.3dpaper.com/commonFile/02..._img/malal.jpg

The kits are all licensed by 3D Paper, by Milton Bradley/Hasbro.
The boxes show various other kits, including a panda, and a gorilla.
all kits come with a small tube of white pva glue.

The Cobra, kitten and puppy, are 4 sheets, diecut and the registration is perfect, even on the back of the parts have glue directions.

The Horse has 6 sheets, and the Elephant and T-rex have 8 sheets.

I will let you know if I find more of these kits, and I will report back what Hasbro has said.

Rick

Hey Rick

We have those kits available from a walk in Catalogue Shop here, but I have at times seen (online) star wars versions of a Wookie and Vader...but cant find them to buy anywhere...anyone else seen them, know a shop with them?

Thanks

John John,

I was hoping to find those of Chewie and Darth, but no luck, only time i saw those two kits was when someone mentioned that they were on the UK Ebay site.

Like you I have not seen the other kits except for the puppy online.

Well, I have been successful with finding an online store selling some of the MB Creation Paper Art kits,
Hasbro UK

at www.hasbro.co.uk/shop.

some of the kits listed together with the ones I have already mentioned, are a Dolphin, Gorilla, Panda, and Homer and Bart Simpsons

those 5 kits are listed at 8.99 quid a piece, I will order them, probably in stages, as the conversion from dollar to pound is a bit rich.

but I thought i would let all know what i found

Rick

Those kits were in an ARGOS catalogue (catalogue store ... can you imagine...) and yes at £8.99 I thought they were way too expensive
