I think my old school (the original) Polly Pockets are special too, the ones with the different themed houses and super tiny people. Lot's of people collected them.
Hahahaha... I still have all of my Polly Pockets. I have a shitload of them. They range from the little compacts that you could carry around with you, to the houses of the Polly Pocket Village. I have the original village, the animal village, and the extension of the original village. Here's some pics, because it's always fun to look at pictures (sorry about the quality. All I have is my webcam... OH and you can see my hand in some of the pics...):
First Picture is of the Polly Pocket Village, with the extension and the Animal Village. I didn't feel like seperating them out. Also, I do have the original playmat that came with the set, but I also did not feel like setting it up.
SPOILER!!:


Next is of the playsets that I got. Yeah, I do have three of the same one, because I lived in basically 3 different homes when I was younger. One from my dad, one from my mom and one from my Nanny.

This one is of the compacts that Polly Pocket originated as. Yes. I do have duplicates here as well.:
SPOILER!!:


Last one. It's a picture of the people that you played with. They're sort of all bunched together, but I assure you that there are a ton of them... Oh and you can see my cat's legs in this one. She loved playing with the people, so I had to hurry and snap the pic before she ran off with one:
SPOILER!!:


Do I cherish them? Maybe. I wouldn't be sad if they were gone, but I do want to hold on to them because they do represent a lot of my childhood. I used to set up the entire village and have a train go around it. It was pretty awesome.

I also have a collection of Barbies, but I think I was much more of a Polly Pocket fan.
