UK exclusive Transformers Universe: Mini-Con sweet figures Update!

I want 2 sets of 12, in baggies, outer wrapping is not necessary. I am willing to buy from you those 24 mini-cons as well as any duplicates you acquire as you track them down (so there won't be any effect on your wallet. If you would like a "finders fee" please name your price. I will pay shipping of coarse. Please, please let me know. It is critical that I have these for my collection.

Thank you.

Also, if any of you guys live near eachother and want to put together 2 sets, and split the funds accordingly, I wouldn't be bothered.

I can vouch for the removal of that ridging on Knockdown, I was only taking notice of new deco's when we did this but the two do look different side by side. As for the rest tho' very difficult to discern between variants and sloppy paint apps.

What have you started Waaaghlord???!!!!

(if you don't count mold degradation)
if you have the money to spend on what are essentially 9 figures you already own and 3 slightly different variants, then go for it, but it will take a good while for you to acquire a full set of duplicates. and at about £2 a pop, it's gonna end up costing you.
2 X 24 + duplicates = £60 at best = $65- 70? and that's without shipping and finders fees.

You may have heard of "The Rikkomba Collection", well, I am now the very proud owner of that collection. Aside from Dragoyell and 2 lucky draws, I have all of the mini-cons. Variations as small as paint apps to as large as plastic chemistry (micron legend star sabers and skyboom shields with glittery plastic) are included. Microns, mini-cons and everything that fits into the category is budgeted.

To be clear, I want no less than two (2) complete sets of twelve (12) UK mini-cons totaling twenty-four (24) UK mini-cons. As these are blind packed, I understand the likelihood of duplicates and will not burden the wasper with reselling them. I will buy all duplicates you open while trying to reach the goal of 24 mini-cons. Finders fees will be paid as well as shipping.

Gah tuh kah chem all.

So what do ya think? Will you help me? The call goes out to everyone who is able to track these down. However, to prevent anyone from getting shafted, I ask that you make it seibertronian knowledge that you are wasping for me, that way it isn't first to 24 wins and the everyone else gets stuck with a crap load of moderately repainted mini-cons. Please, ease help me out.

Also, sell me Dragoyell. One of you must have him.

Seibertronians take heed of this mental collector's plight in his hour of need!!

but, I do have a heavytread sitting here in his bag... that would be 1 down, 23 to go?

Rad! I'll paypal you some funds to get started when you feel you are able!

We can put the call out in the ODB and see if we can help out as a group. I'm up to 3 bagged spares at the moment and can get hold of about another 10 locally but it might take a few of us to help out with 2 full sets. Should be handy for getting all of us up to a full set if we're looking too. Out the door to work shortly, but will put the call out tonight.

To our US readers, sweets is the British word for candy.
He has also supplied us with a photo of one of the blind-packs:


The Mini-Cons inside of these packs are supposed to have different decoes than their original KMart release, also these blind-packs might be exclusive to the UK as the sweets inside are UK made.
One pack costs GBP 1.99, Wasp-shot23 found his at a Tesco service station.
There are 12 Mini-Cons to collect.
Here are some more images showing the difference between the original and new UK Brimstone:











So, sweets to the sweet!

They had cloudrake!

ahh, i love how people use my word!
tfwiki won't let me make an article for a definition of it though as "it's only used on one forum about five times" oh well.

Hey all!!

Im not much of a forum person but was doing some research on these sweets and the only proper information I can find is on this site. So Ive joined up to share , and to be honest I probably should have anyway as I do use this site quite a bit for my collection.
Enough dribble, I was wondering if people still wanting/collecting these??

I hadnt seen them before at all until last week at a Tesco petrol station. And I asked about whether they were new in, or were old stock found in the warehouse (the store has just had a re-vamp) and I was told they were new in. But im still not sure as the copyright year is 2010, but the best before date is May 2012.

Ive picked up quite a few and have a set of 8 different ones now. If anyone out there wants/needs them, I will happily go buy the rest, unless they have been rolled out across the whole of the uk again. Anyone else know?

So if you are interested, let me know. I know I can get at least 10 more packets, and I can leave them sealed and post them wherever. Hope someone reads this!

THANKS!

Hey!!

A reply! Fantastic!

Thanks for the welcome! Though not sure how often ill post or anything. I will try and make an effort, and im a bit of a nut myself, so i guess im in good company .

I was mainly writing as I read people were trying to get complete sets together and thought I could help out maybe as like I said I dont know if these are new ones, or ones that are old stock just been put out. I bought 8 and got 8 different ones!! Dont know if that was lucky or not! Ive only opened suppressor, incase someone wanted a sealed one (one of his joints was already a bit broken aswell =(). If I dont get many replies ill open them all, I have to transform them . Just going to look at the list now. Thankyou so much! It would save me buying more, and you only get like 4 or 5 sweets, which sucks. Very awesome =D. Let me see, im missing.....

Makeshift, Knockdown, Flatfoot and Skyhammer.

If you do have spares, what would you want in return =D?

There is someone attempting to sell some on ebay at the moment to.

Anywho, thanks so much!!!!!
