    Did you crack it all open, or waiting till the holiday season? Wondering if the Ooshies are randomly placed.

    Still in the middle of watching it but did find this video for an opening of the advent calendar.


    Just to note the blind bags I posted about earlier are supposedly hitting Australian retail around now, which has me questioning whether we'll see these stateside.

    ~edit~
    And a video for 7 pack unboxing. You may or may not want to mute said video and or skip through parts because kids.

    I want a prowl and a soundwave Ooshie....looks like I'm out of luck, even if I did live in Australia!

    I'm waiting until December 1st to start opening them, I'm a big believer of the Christmas spirit.

    I finally found the Ooshies calendar at a BigW... here's some pics.

    Spoilers ahead, for those not wanting to know what figures are behind each door.
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Eight of the "exclusive" figures are basically just unpainted figures (the white and red ones). And I don't think the twelve uncoloured ones are all exclusive, as some were on the checklist of blind-bag figures.
    [​IMG]

    And two more licensed Christmas items have been found in Australia - a stocking and a surprise egg.
    Both have the same non-food items in them. The stocking has gummi snakes, while the egg has jelly beans.

    Don’t know if this is news or not but I saw the 7 packs and the advent colanders in store today.
    I searched for ooshies in news and didn’t find anything so if it’s already been found delete this

    I found the 7-packs at my local Big W (Toowoomba QLD) today for $15 each, looks like there must be 12 per case, 3 each of the 4 different available packs as best I can tell (11 in store, one had been purchased):

    [​IMG]

    Back of the pack has the same checklist from earlier in the thread - note the coloured circles indicates where each figure can be found, either in a 7-pack or a blind bag:

    [​IMG]

    Close ups of the different combinations in the 7-packs - this will get you all of the figures available in the 7-packs (bar the Limited Edition Crystal Optimus), with doubles of Maguns, Holo Bee, Scavenger, Mixmaster and Long Haul:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    After opening the first hidden Ooshie and getting Scrapper, I assumed I'd get the other two Constructions to leave me with a double of each, plus the Crystal Optimus, however:

    [​IMG]

    So, disappointed not to get the final Limited Edition figure available from the 7-packs, and now I'm thinking maybe they're only one per case of 12?? Not buying the others to find out tho!!

    The kids in this video got exactly the same as I did too.

    I like them, I think they're really good quality for what they are, and I'm a sucker for translucent stuff and Contructicons so its win-win for me. Now to hunt down the blind bags, and Crystal Optimus!

    Think squishy pencil toppers for these guys. If your nephew has grossery gang figures they're kind of like that but not quite as squishy.

    Griffin-of-oz already posted about the Advent Calendar here: Three licensed advent calendars for 2018
    We did know about 7 packs through an Australian online store listing, but I'm pretty sure that's the first retail sighting. Think you beat lfpnrg by a few hours for first sightings.

    Really want to know if these guys are coming stateside. I know we got DC, TMNT, and I think Minion Ooshies but I don't know how well they sold here.
