[Treasure Adventure Game Wrapper Update!
Oludare Padilla
Later I saw the pictures taken for evidence. Under the hood, was a nest so large it blanketed most of the engine. The nest was made of densely packed leaves; twigs and grass glistening with carefully lined pastel foil candy wrappers. Seeing the wrappers solved the mystery, as to what happened to the contents of the plastic eggs, the Easter Bunny had left on the lawn the previous Easter. Apparently our talented interior decorating squirrels carefully lined the inside of their home with the shiny wrappers.
I love squirrels. In the rodent family they are the diabolical geniuses; cute, cunning, and very evil. I was sad to learn, as I was driving down the pike to the service center; sleepy hibernating squirrels tumbled out the back. I imagined what that must have looked like. Definitely a redneck moment.
For us, it turned out all right in the end (except for the loss of our entire squirrel population). Instead of thousand of dollars of damage, we got away with only a couple hundred. The squirrels only chewed thru the horn and windshield wiper lines.
What were those squirrels thinking? High in the trees, the squirrel nests were safe from predators. Instead the nests had been dismantled and carefully worked into the engine. I am sure the squirrels thought my engine was a wonderful new, warm, and safe place, to raise up their new babies. Instead their foolish behavior, at best, made them all homeless in the dead of winter, and most likely, cost them their lives.
So dear reader, I wonder, are we like my poor foolish squirrels? Do we sometimes get caught up in what is new and exciting; and like the squirrels, put our treasures in danger? What treasures do you hold dear? Perhaps like me, your treasures include: family, financial security, and testimony of the gospel. What dangers do we face and what can we do to make correct choices to guard the treasures in our lives? Please do tell. Inquiring minds want to know.
Geoff- You are so right, family is one of the greatest treasures we will have in this life. It is the one thing we will take with us to the next world. We should guard our relationships with others and keep them safe.
I thought you had found something on the packaging. There's a big difference on having the codes in and out of the packaging. The point of outer codes is that we don't have to spend $10 just to find out that we don't need the figure after already buying it.
I did find something on the outer packaging. The 1st series of TX figures came in two waves. The outer packaging has numbers that start with either WS41 or WS42. WS41 boxes only have wave one figures in them. WS42 will have the newer figures. Bottom line: don't buy WS41 boxes. It's not much, but it's better than a poke in the eye.
Here's the series 2 checklist/codes. The figures that are underlined and * are in wave 2. The figures that have just *, are available in the 3 packs and wave 2. Each figure has a specific regular treasure, gold treasure and map that correspond with it.
I'm glad this info has been helpful. I took awhile (and a lot of fig buying) to compile them both. I edited the series 1 list above and underlined the 8 figures that are only available in wave 2 boxes (WS42)
I bought a case of series 2 figures. For the most part I think you can only find these at Target stores currently (most of my Walmarts still have a ton of series 1) There might be outer box codes coming for series 2. I think there's a pattern but haven't quite cracked it yet. The inner wrapper coding system used for series 1 also works on series 2.
Another frustrating things is: even though you can only get wave 2 figures in the WS42 boxes, the wave 1 figures are also in those boxes too! I haven't noticed anything as far as distribution. It really varies from location to location. I might have 5 extra Rogue Goldsnatcher figures from bad luck in my area, but in other areas Admiral Goldhook might be the one you get too many of. I've sold off most of my duplicates on ebay. I'll price the figures low that I have a lot of. I'll research whose selling them and price mine lower than the rest. I figure it's better to get $5 for it, than to let it sit and gather dust. On the other hand, some of the commons go for good money. I think you can still get $15 for Goldblade on ebay. He's probably the most sought after wave 1 common figure.
Technically it should be the 5th and 8th digit or letter placement. So if this number is correct WS422269318, then the number is 29 but there's only 24 figures so I'm wondering if you typed it right? Just guessing. In the two examples below. Wrapper number two: the 5th and 8th are 09, so that's Gold Gills. On wrapper three , the 5th and 8th are 15 so that would be Goldenstar.
Step 17
Pull ends through until you reach the original folded point, and tuck the raw edges into the previous wrapper, so it looks just like the other wrappers in the chain.
tip! At this point, I find it helpful to use a paperclip or similar item to push the wrappers through. This is the trickiest part, and will require a bit of fiddling.
We have just started a website to raise money for education selling bracelets. Please stop by, as we would love to get your feedback, and maybe ideas for improvement. The site is brand new, and thus a work in progress, but we know that someone as experienced as you could be valuable. Perhaps we can forge some sort of partnership to aid each other. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself here, no pressure, we are just letting you know about the new site, and would love your feedback if you ever get a chance (we know you must busy with these beautiful creations).
wow! this is so fun i love it i am in the middle of making one and it is coming out great! it is such a great idea to not throw out the wrappers and use them to make really cool bracelets. did you know that you can make these out of gum wrappers too? well thanks for the great website!

I needed more time with my girl. It's been such a busy summer, and she was away at camps for several weeks, so when our friends from Massachusetts called last week and asked if there was any chance we might meet them someplace for a couple of days, despite work and a busy calendar, I said yes. And I'm so glad I did! With school around the corner and all the extracurricular activities about to explode, a couple of days to connect sounded wonderful, and we decided to meet someplace in the middle for a girl's trip. Hershey, Pennsylvania seemed to be ideal as it's situated almost in the middle of our states and offers to much to do.
The Noodle was off enjoying a 2-week river adventure with Wilderness Adventure, so did not get to participate in any of the planning. In fact, we surprised her by picking her up from camp and leaving the very next morning to squeeze this in! She slept most of the easy 5-hour drive, waking up when we stopped in Shippensburg, PA to visit a roadside attraction called Tiny World we never seem to have time to stop each time we drive home to New England. This is a yard full of miniature houses builder Earnest Helm originally created for his cats, then went on to decorate inside elaborately and they are amazing. Since he's passed away they are in need of maintenance and good cleaning but were still so interesting to see. If you like dollhouses and miniatures, next time you're on 81 in PA, make a quick stop to check them out!
We continued to Hershey, PA where we had rented a hotel room with a kitchen so we could prepare most of our food. Not only was this more economical than eating out, but my friend Sharon is currently doing the Whole 30 eating program and wanted to stay on the diet. I don't know where she gets the will power, but we sat at Chocolate World eating Hershey S'mores Milkshakes while she snacked on a bag of carrots and cashews. This might be why she wears the size she does, and I wear the size I do!
Hershey's Chocolate World is a visitor center that serves as a hub for a variety of activities including a ride that shows you how Hershey chocolate is made, a 3D movie, tasting event and more. You can design your own candy bar and wrapper, and dine on pretty much anything Hershey related you can think of. It made the perfect first stop. Chocolate World is free to attend with various prices for activities and home to a huge candy store with interesting options you might not find in stores.
A highlight for us was the historic trolley tour, which taught us about Milton Hershey's fascinating life as we drive through town to see the Hershey-related highlights, past and present. We visited the famous Hershey Hotel and downtown to see the chocolate kiss lights. Below left is the Hershey mansion HighPoint, which was built in 1908 and now serves as the office of the Hershey Trust, which runs the numerous charities supported by the Hershey company. Among them in the Milton Hershey School, also included in the tour. The Hershey School started as a home for orphans and is now the largest private philanthropic boarding school for children in need serving about 1900 students. It's also the richest school in the world- Milton Hershey left his entire estate to the trust ensuring the ongoing success of a number of charities including the school, a zoo, botanical gardens and more. I loved learning we can feel good about Hershey purchases and that they support numerous charities. The teens enjoyed the tour of the town just as much as the adults in part to two terrific guides leading the tour, which included acting, singing, and plenty of chocolate samples!
We spent the afternoon at Hershey Gardens which were simply lovely. There are over 20 acres to explore including a children's garden, rose garden, Japanese garden, rock garden, herb garden and more. Guests are invited to borrow an umbrella to shade themselves and tour the grounds at leisure. We loved the Hoop House, which offered clever examples of how you don't need a large space to grow vegetables and plants.
