      Not sure why my comment below was marked as "Off Topic". All I asked was if there were "Any bargains?".

      Don't forget you still have to spend $30.00 on groceries to get one of these $0.05 plastic miniatures, so you couldn't get much more on topic than that.

        Pretty shit size to be honest. They should have made them at least double the size, a definite choking hazard for smaller children in their current size.

    • pihau on 16/07/2018 - 13:06
      +4

      As has been noted above, it's definitely targeted at kids and their pester power. This was done in NZ and was HUGELY successful, these little plastic trinkets went up on TradeMe (Gumtree equiv) for $5-10 each after the promo was over. Kids at school adored them, my daughter went crazy over them at the time.

    • capslock on 16/07/2018 - 18:08

      It's targeting the people who buys shopkins and I assume that there is a lot of them.

    This is seriously wrong. The people in head office need to get the heads out of their colons. I don't want the rubbish packaging I already get with the original products, I sure don't want plastic minatures that do squat.

    Are they in blind bags?

      They are in blind bags. Similar to the other kids collectables elsewhere (Lego Mini Figures, LOL toys etc).

      can confirm as I work at Coles

      • good grape on 16/07/2018 - 13:48

        will they give me one when I do my opal topups? lol

        • themessenger on 16/07/2018 - 14:19

          I'm not sure as my own store does not do opal top ups, but if the system were to be the same as the last Sports for School Vouchers… then yes/no if you did get one before lol

          I just know for sure that if you buy cigarettes then you would not be eligible for the little shop toys (as per the same rules for the Sports Vouchers).

        • leetguy101 on 19/07/2018 - 14:49

        • try2bhelpful on 17/07/2018 - 07:42

          @tdw: we already buy stuff for future use, just to build up our points total, me included. The supermarkets run these promotions to get people to spend more, or they wouldn’t bother doing it. If someone is below the $30 they will buy extra stuff to get to that level. Include children pester power and I wonder how much people’s shopping will increase over the promotion. BTW - matette. Female, no kids,

      • soangry on 16/07/2018 - 20:07
        +3

        Nobody is paying for the toys, people spend money on groceries and get one free for every $30. If you happen to spend that amount you have a choice to not collect your free gift. Which ozbargainers would resist free gift?

          there are some free "gifts" not worth having, even if you are an ozbargainer. Ask anyone whose cat has brought them a present. :)

          @try2bhelpful: im looking forward to collect them honestly, i think they are quite cute. I need to spend at coles anyway for the 4 weeks flybuys bonus

        • try2bhelpful on 17/07/2018 - 07:34
          +1

          @soangry: will they still be cute in a years time or will they be landfill? Then multiply that across thousands of homes. That is my main issue, particularly when colesworth are trying to wean people off plastic bags. Their timing is really bad. Personally, I would love to see a promotion based around donating money to charities than dust catchers. I know it is your money, and you can spend it how you like, but I’m just trying to look at the bigger picture here.

  • Chickenleg on 16/07/2018 - 19:35

    This is the first time one of these promotions has genuinely excited me. And even though I shop exclusively at Woolworths (mainly just because of proximity), I'm going to shop at Coles purely for these.

    I realise that for most people these are just junk, but as someone who collects toys (which I began after I took up sculpting as a hobby, just so you have a prettier mental image of me) and has bought - or has wanted to buy - similar miniature items in the past, these kind of things are normally not cheap. Getting them free with my shopping is a real nice treat for me.

    • WatchNerd on 17/07/2018 - 10:49
      -2

      These aren't really free though, it's just a marketing trick. They would cost next to nothing to make and groceries are overpriced in Australia.

      That's why I asked above if there were any bargains, because if you are just buying random stuff in order to get these then there is no bargain, this is just an announcement.

      • garworsby on 17/07/2018 - 12:29

      • Hinee on 17/07/2018 - 14:51
        +3

        Eh. It's obviously just a marketing trick, but this really is getting something for nothing for most people who go to the shops regularly. Might not be your cup of tea, but these little things do have enough novelty that people like garworsby benefit from this deal being posted.

    • try2bhelpful on 17/07/2018 - 14:45

      if they rock your boat that much then go for it. I'm a bit of a craft person myself, knitting, tapestry, etc. I even restored a floor weaving loom (which I have yet to string up - but it looks great). When you have the collection I would be interested in a photograph to show how you are displaying them.

      However, I think you are going to be the small minority that actually does anything with them and, in 6 months time, the rest will hang around until someone throws them out.

      There are some really beautiful doll house items out there and, I'm sure, you could make some terrific stuff yourself. Have fun with your hobby.

    • garworsby on 21/07/2018 - 13:55

      They're having a Swap Day. It says you can swap directly with Coles, which I like, but for them to only have two full sets seems troubling. But I guess with people continually swapping in and out different things, where they would always have 60 items, maybe it'll work out OK.

      I've done two shops so far and I have 8 items and luckily no duplicates, but I'm guessing soon I'll start hitting the duplicate territory.

      And here's the Swap Day details, from here: https://www.coles.com.au/littleshop/info/campaignterms

      2.10 A Swap Day is scheduled on Saturday August 11th (list of participating stores may be found on coles.com.au/littleshop) . The Swap Day is to provide a forum for customers to trade their Collectables, in order to help customers collect all 30 unique Collectables. Attendees and participants in a Swap Day shall be solely responsible for their actions in relation to the Swap Day.

      2.11 At each Swap Day participating store, Coles and/or its contractors will also allow customers to swap Collectables directly with them. Coles and/or its contractors will have two full sets (30 Collectables per set, 60 Collectables total) available to swap directly with customers. Coles and/or its contractors will swap with customers on a one Collectable for one Collectable basis. The Collectable presented by the customer to Coles for swapping must be in a good, clean condition. There will be no limits to the amount of swaps customers can perform with Coles (or its contractors) on the Swap Day.
