I just realized the other day that we don't have a thread like this yet, and actually I'm shocked! I thought one of us would have thought of it before now lol.  So for everyone who has a limited-edition Zelf, what is the number on your Zelf's card/charm? I think it would be very interesting to compare what numbers are out there!! Also post where your Zelf came from if you know.  For me I have: Miss Clover: 1,518/10,000 Jewely: 1,680/10,000 (Neither one of these I found in my own state. Miss Clover came from a friend in Canada and Jewely came from Webina in the mid-west USA.) |

My Miss Clover is 2961. If I remember correctly, the person I bought her from is in Singapore.
I later found one in a store in Colorado but kept her MIB, so I never knew the #. I wish I did. She is since sold on though.

I was thinking about this only the other day! It would be interesting to see how many of the 10,000 will end up on here eventually? I'll post mine when I get home! I have Miss Clover and Jewely.

Flitter actually has one of the highest numbers I've seen so far! o.0
This actually makes me wonder just how much of a circulation these 'rare' figures really have. I mean, a 'limited edition' run of 10,000 is actually a pretty big run for a toy series... even worldwide. And so far for all three rare figures I've only seen people having Zelfs in the 1,000's or 2,000's. So what about numbers 3,000-10,000? Have they even been released to the public? I have a feeling if all 10,000 of each of them were really out there in circulation, we wouldn't have as much issue finding them as we do. Does this mean Moose has a warehouse of Clovers and Jewleys and Snowphies somewhere? o.0 Who knows?

Does this mean Moose has a warehouse of Clovers and Jewleys and Snowphies somewhere? o.0 Who knows? I very much question how many are actually out there myself. 10,000 seems like a HUGE run for a toy line and I keep thinking of things like Funko figures that release limiteds in much smaller numbers that aren't even close to as hard to find. I did some quick scrolling through the first few pages of the Zelfs threads on the Arenas and Rainsong on the MH Arena got #44 Miss Clover and vortex1310 on the MLP Arena got #3907 (or 3987? it's hard to see), and a quick search of Flickr there are photos of cards 3837 & 3844 (by ăȘă€ă â
Lynn), 3193 (by Lori), 2796(by Joyce's joys), 00535 (by Jojo Kneebone) & 00569 (by Kitty Allen) for Clover. So there is a little bit of a range but nothing in the 4000+ I've seen yet, hmm. I wonder if they are released in some kind of order? Like, if you can tell what country it came from by the # or if they are distributing them slowly in numerical order worldwide. I feel like a lot of people who find rares keep them MIB too so who knows? |

Good point Flitter, I didn't consider all the people keeping them MOC. Still I find it odd and a little suspicious that no one has seen a rare with a number over 5,000. Maybe Moose plans to 're-release' these rares sometime in the future, like for the Zelfs 5th Anniversary or something like that? Only time will tell! |

Ok, my Miss Clover is 1052/ 10,000
my Jewely is 458/10,000
and my Snowphie is 1072/10,000
Clover I got from Ebay (must have been a UK seller, as I don't remember paying loads in shipping) and Jewely I got off character-online, for sending in receipts. Snowphie I got from my sister, as part of the CD promo in the UK.

Here's mine. While I'm sure in the US they were all sent out, with all the send away programs they have in the UK I wouldn't be surprised if there is a whole bunch of them sitting waiting to be claimed. |

When I e-mailed character-online to ask if they had any Clover's left in stock, around the time I had gotten Jewely (Feb-Mar '14), they said that the UK got 1000 of each 'rare' zelfs, and that Clover was long gone from stock and I was one of the last ones to get hold of Jewely as well (meaning they were running out of stock). Maybe they were making it up, I don't know, but if it was true then there are at least 1000 people in the UK with them both! Compared to the US that had 5000 shipped over and were sent out into stores directly rather than through any sort of contest, perhaps the 5000-10,000 numbered Zelfs were sent to places like Australia or Asia, as there seems to be less people from the east on the forum???

Character only does the UK and not the rest of Europe right? And I know we have a few members (but not many) from Europe so they must have been released there. I wonder how many ended up in kids hands who are too young to be on forums.

I received my Clover on the 16th or 17th April, and Jewelly three or four weeks prior to that. I haven't deboxed so no idea what their numbers are.

My Clover is #1133 and I have no idea what my Snowphie is since they changed the box style so I can't see it. Haven't been able to get a Jewely yet

Since my number for Miss Clover is so high, and Sweden is one of the last countries to get Series 1, I think Moose is keeping a bunch of them in case they break into new markets. (Asia is my bet)

Maybe they already are in Asia or South America and we just don't have many adult fans over there.
