Please find and release Boopies #17 and #18

Several Boopies have been released over the last two years, and many people have spent a lot of time and, in some cases, real money to have the complete collection.
For some time Boopies #17 and #18 were missing from our collections, and it was assumed those numbers were skipped, similar to how Boopie #5 was skipped for many months.
Polenth Yue was able to find an advert for a possible missing Boopie, but LL couldn't confirm it was real. Bear Castle have now managed to find that Boopie in world, and confirm it's the missing Boopie #18. It was available at SL Fandom Con 2024, but this information wasn't shared well at the time and most collectors missed out.
I contacted LL asking for help, and they suggested I post a request here.
I would like to request LL please make Boopie #18 available for everyone. Maybe we could purchase it for charity. Can you also find the missing Boopie #17 and make that available for us to complete our collections please.
Many of us really enjoy collecting Boopies, but the situation with Boopies #17 and #18 is upsetting and is causing myself and other collectors to consider giving up on Boopies if it's no longer possible to complete our collections.
After talking to collectors about this issue, especially newer collectors, it might be a popular request to have all previous Boopies available for people who missed them, or started their collections later. Maybe they could be available for a short time at certain events like Christmas and SLB and sold for charity? I think increasing the number of Boopie collectors can only be helpful to the Boopie community, and get more people excited about events where Boopies are the main prizes.

Hello chloexs! The Boopies collectibles are developed for various projects, and may not be released in a numerical order - the numbers may be used for your own tracking as you collect. :-) Keep an eye out for future announcements of events!

I don't even collect these things, but... a charity event annually to give everyone a chance to top up their collection of whatever a Boopie is sounds like a very positive community idea--and maybe I'd start collecting too!
Hard to become a collector of something when you learn of it though "yea, you missed out.
If these boopies have some kind of value or exclusivity that would be harmed in such a way, then at least an annual charity event with an exclusive event item + swap-meet, raffle, auction... ways for people to get "the thing they missed" while supporting charity is great for SL.

I too think this would be a great idea. Having a charity event for missing Boopies seems like a wonderful way to help raise money for charities.

I like this idea and for linking the purchase to a charity. Boopies are often used to raise money for charities, so this is in the spirit of what they're all about. I also agree with the sentiment that it makes collectors feel that continuing is futile if they're unable to ever have a complete collection.

I'll gladly pay for the missing Boopies to complete my collection if the money goes to charity. I started collecting when we could earn them with the snowflake hunt at the Winter Wonderland 2023 event. So I missed out on the Halloween Boopies and I also missed out on the Christmas Expo 2023 Boopie.

Voting as well, the Bear Castle has an empty spot for #17! Another option might be to have them all available for charity at SLB's Bear Island every 5 years.

This seems critically important. I voted for it to show my support!

Yes, please! And it would be amazing to have all the Boopies available at some point. I only discovered Boopies last year, and I so want to be able to get the many I don't have. I love collecting things ♥
