This is the 2nd minion of the 3 basic minion building block toys available. Unfortunately, this was as low as they could go with the price, which is still below cost. It's still a bargain compared to other sources.

Limit 10 per an account. This coupon expires on 28/01/2016

This minion has 220 pieces, compared to the 1st one with 100 pieces. Hopefully, the quality will be as good. Coupon brings price down from $3.16 USD to $2.09 USD. Remember, these are small pieces, therefore not suitable for children under 9. Shipping should be 7-14 business days, I received my 1st minion on the 11th day. Do consider that there may be delays due to public holidays and the Christmas/New Years mail glut.

Description:
Building toys have significant cognitive and academic benefits for children
Main Features:
Enhancing spatial awareness: Building toys help kids enhance their visual-spatial skills which is crucial for reading
Encouraging thinking and reasoning: These skills are what make children become well-rounded, independent and successful adults
Involving focus and patience: Children need to work slowly and carefully to be successful at creating their designs

I agree, lots of patience required to decipher the instruction diagrams if it is anything like the 1st minions' instructions.

Other alternative sellers:
Aliexpress - $2.68 USD (~$3.69 AUD)
GearBest - $3.07 USD
Ebay - $4.39 USD
Amazon - $6.97 USD + Shipping

In talks with them regarding the 3rd minion and the 10 costumed minions. No ETA yet. If you're still interested in the 1st minion, grab it here, that deal should last till 31/12/2015 so get cracking.

Edit: If you're going to the normal checkout, make sure to untick the shipping insurance. Pretty annoying that it's automatically ticked.
Edit2: A thanks to mdsh. GivingAssistant.org have 7% cashback for DealsMachine remember to signup using one of the referral links to get free $5 credit into your GivingAssistant account
Edit3: Updated info with limit lifted to 10 per an account. The limit may have been interfering with some of your purchases. Please try again if it wasn't successful before and let me know how it goes this time.

  • zorrt on 28/12/2015 - 23:18

    coupon applied but jumps back to $4.24 when checking out?

    • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 28/12/2015 - 23:27

      Ah, if you're going via their normal checkout, make sure to untick the shipping insurance

      • mapleice on 28/12/2015 - 23:32

        Still jumps up in price… discount coupon disappears…however works on first minion via link, just not with this one

        • zorrt on 28/12/2015 - 23:33

          yep unticked everything and selected free shipping. Tried both normal and paypal checkout. Oh well, I'll give it another go tomorrow morning.

      • allmails98765 on 28/12/2015 - 23:32

        going via normal checkout automatically removes the discount code hence reverts back to usd 4.24. it's a chore trying to figure this out. really crappy and dodgy setup to get email addresses i reckon

      • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 28/12/2015 - 23:37

        I can't replicate the issue sorry, it won't allow me to apply the coupon again for a 2nd purchase. However, my 1st purchase/coupon application was successful. I had purchased the minion before posting it here to check it was working. I'm not sure why it would revert to the original price.

        edit: Just to confirm, if you're going via the normal checkout rather than straight to Paypal, you're saying that the Grand Total at the bottom of the page, after unticking the Shipping Insurance, it says $4.24 USD rather than $2.09 USD? And that when applying the coupon at the Shopping Cart it was successful in bringing the price down to $2.09 USD but reverts back up at checkout?

        I'll send a rep an email asking them to look into it.

        • BarginHunter on 29/12/2015 - 01:20

          I'm having the same issue, used paypal checkout and it's showing as AUD $5.88

  • rf123 on 29/12/2015 - 00:10

    Any other models on sale?

    • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 29/12/2015 - 00:17

      No, just the 1st minion and this one. I'm still talking to them regarding the last minion and the costumed ones.

  • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 29/12/2015 - 00:20

    Has anyone other than myself been able to purchase the minion successfully at $2.09 USD?

    Some people are having problems, but I would like to confirm if its just only some people or everyone other than me having problems.

    • AdrianW on 29/12/2015 - 12:30

      Came up with $2.09US for me - order went through easily, although it did default to expedited shipping + insurance, which I had to alter.

    • monkp on 29/12/2015 - 12:54

      your method works for me :)

  • Jamesx on 29/12/2015 - 07:03

    I had same thing last night. Very slow cart checkout now, seems same problem and more, 1 for usd8.48!
    Hope it's fixed soon

  • NGPriest on 29/12/2015 - 11:22

    Came up at $4.24…

    Cancelled the order and tried again…

    Ended up with this: Sorry, the coupon can only be used 2, you have already reached this limit.

    • NGPriest on 29/12/2015 - 15:41

      I don't get how it works…

      It says $1.99

      Proceed to pay, remove insurane and sub/grand total is $8.44?

      Edit:

      Without the coupon: $4.14 -> $3.16 (76%)
      With the coupon: $4.14 -> $1.99 -> $8.44 (424%)

      So it's cheaper to buy it without the coupon? :S

      Another Edit:

      I decided to trash everything and start again…

      With the coupon: $4.14 -> $1.99 ($2.15 saving) -> $6.29
      $6.29 - $4.14 = $2.15 Saving
      So $4.14 + $2.15 (Saving) = $6.29 So instead of saving $2.15, we're paying $2.15 extra…?

      • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 29/12/2015 - 16:13

        I've finally been able to replicate the error after a lot of clicking around, just have to figure out what's causing it specifically.

  • nerd1 on 29/12/2015 - 11:22

    came up at US$8.xx 1st time after clicking proceed to checkout. after trying various options including paypal link (shows $4.xx on paypal login) gone back, had to reapply coupon code and proceed to check out. new total is US$10.69

  • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 29/12/2015 - 13:19

    They've responded to my query and lifted the limit to 10 per an account. That may also help fix some purchase problems. Hopefully your purchases would be successful this time. If you're still having problems, please let me know the nature of it and I'll enquire about it to them.

  • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 29/12/2015 - 16:20

    Sorry guys, I'll have to contact them again. It seems theres something wrong with their systems. I was able to replicate your errors, initially it didn't happen. However, everytime i try now it happens. It might be because I applied the coupon and deleted it more than some limit, im guessing its the coupons current 10 order limit per account. I've tried it on both chrome and firefox, so its their system's problem. They might have some sort of coupon counter for each account which ticks up despite cancelling the coupon.

  • Shoppingisfun on 29/12/2015 - 18:56

    This deal is impossible!
    Would love one of these but it is too difficult :(

  • ShMiCk on 29/12/2015 - 19:27

    Works for me, thanks!

  • Kak on 29/12/2015 - 20:09

    Finally worked, thanks!

  • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 29/12/2015 - 23:25

    Sounds like the problem has been fixed.

    A quick question to everyone interested in the costumed minions (and the pacman, monkey and the … whatever that orange thing is), of these which do you prefer? These ones are much more expensive therefore they would have to order a larger volume to get volume discounts to lower their costs. As such they might not be able to offer discounts on all the building block toys. To get the best price possible they would prefer to focus on a couple for now and if popular enough they might offer discounts on the others.

    Please respond with which you like in particular and would be willing to buy.

    • NGPriest on 30/12/2015 - 00:06

      Can you do them in sets?
      Like all 13? :p

      • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 30/12/2015 - 19:03

        I could ask. The only concern we had about this was that people might not want to fork out that much all at once, or not want all of the 10 or 13. I'll see what they can do.

        • NGPriest on 30/12/2015 - 19:08

          Do a pre-order?
          Then do a massive order and refund/credit/bonus/something back the difference? :p

          That way, you have accurate numbers to order and everyone will be paying less than the expected/planned price…?

          Let's say Product X
          Set = 50
          Individual = 100
          You can order 150?

          Then the 50 sets, if you charged $Y and it costed $Z, then refund/credit/bonus/something $Y-$Z and we'll all be happy? :p

    • AdrianW on 30/12/2015 - 01:03

      I think the Pirate (9614) would be popular.

      Note: the orange thing is Q*bert

      • AssociatedScaryZombie @ DealsMachine on 30/12/2015 - 19:01

        Ahh, that's what it was. I vaguely remembered it from somewhere but couldn't pinpoint where exactly. I thought it was a Q-something, but the only Q-something I remember clearly was the game clone Q-Bob.

  • Shoppingisfun on 31/12/2015 - 12:15

    Finally got one…thanks OP :)

  • AdrianW on 19/01/2016 - 21:16

    Mine arrive today - box was a bit squashed, but contents are fine.
