Is the yoghurt the Chobani?

[CHILENO20]

Is the yoghurt the Chobani?

Yep

[UltraMarginal]

we sort of are, we generally shop at woollies, it's closer and more convenient. I have a few, no doubles yet, would be interested in picking up spares for eventual silly photo shenanigans with toys.

[Nevac]

Wouldn't everyone who's buying BW Megatron want some Colgate to go along with it?

I've managed to collect about 15 or so of them so far made a couple of trades today felt like I was meeting for drug deals

[jazzcomp]

haha

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

It's insane how much people are willing to spend on eBay for these things!

On this listing (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Coles-Little-Shop-Mini-each-FREE-POSTAGE/183365274301?hash=item2ab16c0abd:m:m7PKNKkExpL97mQ UZxRYcfg) alone, people are paying up to $45 for one collectable!

Might as well just buy groceries for the same amount and try your luck.

[Omega Metro]

Give it 6 months and they will be worthless. Just like the previous giveaways. Everyone was going crazy for those Marvel disc things a few years back paying crazy money for certain ones. Now worthless. I should flog my Coles ones off now while I can get something for them.:p

No doubt true, but damned if it ain’t a brilliant money spinner. I’ve heard so many stories of people going to the supermarket and buying heaps more groceries than they need, just to get those little collectible goodies. Brilliant marketing strategy.

[kovert]

Yep

Anyone with a number of spares they'd like to swap? :)

Agreed. Like a lot of promotional items, they probably will be worthless. But the fun is in the collecting. ;)

[PROVOST]

Got the colgate toothpaste,Finish,Vegemite and Leggos so far.

Cool smaller scale items for photography with toys. :)

[Bladestorm]

I'm after 4 more to complete the set.
I need:
Lipton Tea
White King Power Clean
Birds eye Golden Crunch Potato Gems
Messy Monkeys.

If anyone has spare of those and would like to swap please let me know.

Spares I have:
Pantene
Leggos Bolognaise
Daily Juice (2)
Eggs
Mount Franklin
Maggi Chicken Noodles
Milo
Nascafe Gold
Huggies
Vicks Vaporub (2)

These are kind of fun to mock up with my figures.

Embedded image doesn't seem to be loading. :confused:

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the items you're missing. Might have some later this week. I'm after the following from your list:

Daily Juice
Leggos
Maggi Chicken Noodles
Milo
Mount Franklin

Spares:

Cold Power x2
John West Tuna x2
Nescafe Gold
Nutella

[Autocon]

Anyone have any red hands?

[kovert]

Didn't know the red hands existed until I Googled it just now. :eek: Anyone have a spare folder? :)

[Autocon]

Yes, for those wondering a red hand gets you a coles gift voucher and coles advertised that there were 400 over Australia still to find. I think its $100 worth per gift card.

[Bladestorm]

Anyone have any red hands?

Nope. I don't know anyone who has found one either. I heard there were 700 red hands.
I'm still stuck trying to find the 4 little shop figures I am missing and getting a little frustrated as my collection of duplicates grows.

If anyone has a spare Lipton Tea, White King, Potato Gems or Messy Monkeys I have a pretty decent collection of duplicates you can choose a 1-for-1 swap from.

[1AZRAEL1]

We're missing heaps, so unlikely we'll actually complete ours. Meh.

[millhouse]

We're currently doing renovations and living with the in-laws. We've been keeping these aside for the younger cousins in the family, although I have picked out the bananas (an easy feel!) to possibly use with MP Primal in due course. Have to remove the Coles sticker from them and slap on some paint, but might be worth the effort.

[UltraMarginal]

We don't have a lot, at the moment our only double is the coffee I think

[Autocon]

I have picked out the bananas to use with MP Primal

This.

[Skullcruncher]

I found the potato gems while walking the dog today - wife and son were very happy. 7 more of these things to go.

[Fungal Infection]

Anyone got a folder to spare?

Sure it was a 'potato gems'? :p


Anyone got a folder to spare?
Can't spare a square. I've got no square to spare.

[jazzcomp]

looking for the collector case as well.

oak/finish/sunbites

[jazzcomp]

Messaged coles fb and got no answer :(

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

I've got a spare Milo and Finish that I can trade.

[jazzcomp]

What are you looking for?

[Autocon]

Im still looking for those lil red hands if anyone has one

[jazzcomp]

"from Coles" - Hi jazzcomp,thanks for reaching out. The range of limited edition merchandise we had available has unfortunately sold out as we have been overwhelmed by the popularity of Little Shop at Coles. We'll be sure to share your feedback with the relevant teams for future promotions. We're sorry we couldn't bring better news this time!

[1AZRAEL1]

Considering some employees have been taking the cases before they even go out, doesn't surprise me that they are selling out...

[kovert]

Did they also "apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused"? Below is the reply I received:

"We have been overwhelmed by the popularity of Little Shop at Coles. Most of the range of limited edition merchandise we had available has unfortunately sold out. However, customers can still collect one miniature for every $30 they spend at Coles supermarkets. We do apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Please be assured that your comments have been passed on to our Merchandise Team for their information."

@1AZRAEL1 - There was a news story about staff acquiring all of the cases at a NSW store before customers had a chance to buy them. It's really disappointing for customers who have completed their collection but don't have a case. It wouldn't be difficult for Coles to take paid pre-orders from customers who still need a case. But I doubt Coles would bother doing that because it would too much work given the promotion is nearly over and they've made their money.

[jazzcomp]

Promotion has ended. Have you seen how crazy the prices are on gumtree and ebay for a complete set?

[Bladestorm]

I'm missing one last item - the White King Power Clean bottle.
If anyone has a spare I have loads of different little shops I can trade for.

[kovert]

Campaign period officially ends 11:59 pm AEST 11 September 2018. One more day to get free minis with every spend over $30, if they aren't out of stock.

A few weeks ago, some complete sets were going for around $1,000! :eek:

[jazzcomp]

Just ridiculous :eek:

[Autocon]

What happens when you go through self serve? Do you just take a couple one on the way out..

[jazzcomp]

Go to the attendant to give you the minis.

[Bladestorm]

I finally completed my set, finding the last item I needed yesterday. PHEW!

Now to figure out whether it is worth selling my spares or not...

[jazzcomp]

Do you have the collector book?

[Bladestorm]

Do you have the collector book?

I don't have a spare collector book but I do have the one I got to store the set in.

[jazzcomp]

[Autocon]

3 months from now no one will even care. More plastic garbage for the environment.

Bananas - Optimus Primal
Toothpaste - Megatron?
Cheetor? 2 minute noodles coz he wants things fast?
Dinobot?
Rattrap? A cleaning product?
Rhinox?

[Nevac]

I finished my set a few weeks ago even got a nice trolly

Anyone have any red hands?
They are a pretty rare find. Even more rare is the Strawberry punnet. It's like finding a needle in a... let's not go there.
