It's been a long trawl, but i'm finally down to 7 items left, including DLC. None of these are on the hard-to-find list... so any pointers would be muchly appreciated:

Fruit 1,3,4 and 2,1,3 - Peach and Apple baskets, I assume they're near each other... BOTH FOUND!

Sports 5,2,2 - Skier

Furniture 1,2,1 - Ironing Board

School 4,2,1 - 5th step. I'm sure it's in Sunrise with all the others, but I can't find it anywhere!

Guidance 2,1,3 - O sign (the second O in ZOO) FOUND!

Professionals 3,2,2 - Rubber Man

check the item list link on the top of the page. i'll try and look for some of the other items later, but i know at least the fruit baskets and maybe a couple of other items are on there.

What a silly sausage I am... I didn't spot the fruit baskets on the list before, but that's sorted and theyre rolled up! The other 5 things aren't on there though. Cheers! :)

Ooh, I just found the O sign by chance as well. :pokkle

ok, i'll give it a look now.

Rubber Man - Seadome, in the city in the center where there are either revolving platforms a christmas tree, or king kong. this time there are a bunch of buses in a semicircle and he's in the middle wearing green and white.

Skier - Dynaville - on the middle platform between the railroad tracks, closest to the tunnel.

5th Step - Sunrise Castle, on the red bridge around the end of the handrail.

Ironing Board - Roller Roaster, they're just outside of the burger joint stacked up like steps leading up to the grill with the man jumping on it.

err, sonya got em all before i could help. lol

Wheeeee! You absolute legend. Thank you so much! Now I have everything, and I just got 50 hours in the process. :lamour

congrats :thumbsup
