Anyone collected the 2013 coke glasses this year? Got all but charcoal and purple.
Also sort of thinking about collecting these animal cards from woolworths. Have 6 spares for trade, have about 30 so far.

If anyone has spares of cards featuring any and all types of Echidnas, let me know. ;)
My wife is colleciting them, she has probably arranged to trade for a full set.
What we're after is a folder to put them in. the folder has been pulled from most woolies as apparently there is an F-Bomb in the crossword.
last we heard there were some still available at the Parramatta woollies, if someone is there and sees a folder would you please pick it up for us. I will happily pay postage or meet you somewhere conveniant to you to pick it up.
Alternatively if someone has a spare folder they don't need, I'll happily buy it off you.
regards
UM.
Later this week I'll post up a list of our spares for anyone interested.
Wow! Can't believe people are collecting those animal cards. Checkout girl gave me about 30 yesterday and I just threw them in the bin.:)
I'm after the album too, they better reprint more of them later!:(:mad:
Ive only bought four of my cards, the rest have all been given to me:D 39 to go!Quote:

If anyone wants to buy my almost complete collection please pm.
Or if anyone is selling the missing 19 that I need pm me.
My wife has a tonne of spares and there is a group on Facebook organising for peoples collections to be complete.
I've heard the folders will be reprinted around early december.
Post up which numbers you need and I'll have a look through her spares list.
Why reprint the folders if the cards have stopped? Will the cards be reprinted?Quote:

I think they are re-releasing the folders because they pulled the first batch after the F-bomb in the find-a-word was discovered. There may be a similar promotion in december, or they may just be doing it to save from bad publicity, a lot of people missed out on the folders.
I'll check the numbers with Mrs UltraMarginals stash in the next day or two.
I have all except 18 and 58. I have them with me at work, PM me your postal address and I'll post them at lunchtime if you're quick enough.:)Quote:

There is only 36 cards! Least there is very little to collect this time round. Nabbed the album! 8 cards left.
It is a baby oriented theme. There is a baby echidna card.
I just looked that up (first I'd heard of it), and it doesn't seem like it was intentional, and you wouldn't see it unless you look for it (it was in the middle of a square of over 100 letters).Quote:

Did people think that it would some how stand out to kids who didn't yet know the word and suddenly start using it or ask what the word meant. It wasn't one of the words to find, so kids wouldn't have recognised it if they didn't already know it or have their parents make a fuss over it to then ask what it meant. :rolleyes:
Sometimes "random" comes up with something... regrettable. :p
Yea but the Woolworths PR machine couldn't let it go unresponded too. :)
Mrs ultraMarginal says she thinks the re-release books are coming out around the 16th in NSW, it's different in other states.
If your after one, you should keep your eyes peeled as there probably wont be a lot and they will most likely be sscalped as well.

EDIT: Turns out I did find a baby Echidna card in the wild after all. Still have to acquire the adult version though.
Missing cards 9, 11, 36 :mad:
Anyone else having trouble acquiring these?
I'll check out what Mrs UltraMarginal has at home. we're 1 short as of yesterday as far as I know.
Which number?Quote:

I have spoken to Mrs UltraMarginal and we have a spare of 9, 11 and 36, ready to go in an envelope. Happy to do a direct swap by Post.
We are looking for Number 7.

it seems that pre-orders ended up being greater than the entire new production run and sotres were not checking what people ordered so that when they showed up and asked for 2 or 4 when they'd only ordered 1 they were getting them meaning that many pre-orders were unfilled because the stores had run out.
Very poorly managed on Woolworths behalf, I doubt they had any idea this would be so popular.
Now have two complete sets of the red cards if anyone was looking to buy a full set for cheap.
Just missing one green card and the green album.
Thanks to Mr and Mrs UltraAwesome for helping me complete my sets:D
