I first discovered miniatures completely by accident. I was about 7 or 8, and I was on an ordinary trip to the hardware store with my dad. I'm not sure if I saw the cartoon video or found the figurines first, but when I saw them, it was like magic. It had to have been because, well, think about it, what were toys doing at a hardware store? Of the original Maple Town collection, here is my collection.
Houses
BRAND NEW! I just bought the school on Ebay!
Just the trucks, not the figures 
Families
Playsets
I just got this outdoor set, but it does not have the mail scooter
Individual Figures
You can check on the Mapletown web site to see the other houses, playsets, figures and families that I don't have in my collection. http://mapletown.tripod.com/toys.html
