Hot Off The Stamping Press: MoYou London Tourist Collection Expansion!

Hey lacqueristas,

The stamping press is steaming!  Sizzling lol.  I actually forgot about the MoYou London weekly releases because I felt like maybe they didn't release a set last week.  Then I realized that the Bridal Collection expansion was last week, and that I'm losing track of all the plates coming out because they are coming otu everywhere!  Today I've got the latest plates from the Tourist Collection to share with you.  Honestly I feel like this collection is also one of my favorites along with the Explorer Collection mainly because it gives me the option of so many designs from all around the globe.  So let's see what MoYou has come up with for this week.

Kira's back and ready to travel light after all she's going back and forth across the globe this week.  Detinations are Instanbul, Paris, Delhi, and Sydney

Welcome to Instanbul! Can I just say I'm delighted lol. Super cute plate loving the fez hats and the palace abstracts and carpet in particular.  This plate reminds me so much of being a kid and watching Tiny Toons with my grandmother on Saturday morning.  Does anyone remember that animated cartoon sung by They Might Be Giants?  No well luckily I found it! Hehe you're welcome :)

This plate frustrated me.  I find myself asking why is Kira going back to Australia and why is she repeating images we've seen and own on several other plates in a larger size?  The are 5 new images on this plate.  The rest are repeats.  I really dislike it when MoYou does this.  Why not just create all new images for the plate instead of smaller ones?  I realize though that's a slightly unfair expectation given not everyone has talons as long as mine.  Still though...

Hello teacup elephant.  You are obviously going to be so happy in my new home!  This is Delhi and I am in love!  Reminds me slightly of the Loja BBF Indian Asian plate especially the doors on the mosque.  Regardless I must have this plate for the baby elephant alone htough the palace and the turbaed males are also well done!

The final plate for this release is Paris.  All the images excpet for 5 are once again recycled.  Ugh.  I really really hate when they do this!  The cameoed girls also look like Barbie.  I actually used the XL version of this plate last week for one of my challenge manis.  For me this one is a pass but I love the XL plate version.

So what do you think?  For me this is another disappointing release the Instanbul and Delhi were my two favorite plates with the rest falling flat for me because of the repeating patterns.  Plus I feel like I was gipped out of 2 new/really new plates with novel images.  Oh well.  For those that don't have these plates these could present an excellent argument for the case of buying them now.  As usual plates will be available Friday and retail for 4.99 Euros.  Don't forget you can also get 10% off using my code Tamira10.  Hope you enjoyed this update and see you next post...
