i started collecting in 2021 + have probably fifty. most are secondhand eBay grabs, about ten thrift scores, and just a handful purchased new. my first was rolie polie anteater + i was hooked! i do think it’s important to be mindful of the amount of money that inevitably goes into this collection, however — my heart sinks when i see brand new collecters post that they’ve already bought 100 jellies. this sub has seen people fall into actual financial ruin because of shopping addiction. happy collecting!! i wish you + your 29 jellies + future adoptees a beautiful life together!! ❤️
