    Made the mistake of picking up a discounted 75 cent one at Walmart yesterday. Despite turning into a stalk of, well, nothing, Fun Gus is quite a quality little guy.

    I need more. Also, which one is 'Dave from Accounting'? I need him simply so I can say I have a transformer legitimately named 'Dave from Accounting'.

    Yes they had a full case. Check the UK sightings thread.
    I would keep an eye on Sainsbury's too - they have the 5 packs reduced to £7.50 and many places are putting up shelf labels with out of stock comming soon on them - implying they plan to stock them soon - they seem to be mostly sold out in Argos stores too - so I expect the stock is showing up pretty much as we speak. I hope it's a mix of wave 2 & 3 as I still have not seen half of wave 2.

    Sadly all the shops around me are garbage and I’ve had to do about 8 Argos just to get some of series 2. Still have never seen the blind packs in the wild.

    Can anyone do better than the £26 I’m looking at for importing a Mocklate pack from Australia?

    eBay is the best bet, or try and tap up a member of a group. I’m getting my Lawn League from a guy in Malaysia via a Facebook group.

    Well my usual ebay seller had Trend Blend but kind of waiting too long and missed him. Ended up snagging Quackles from another seller though. Downside is I've come to the sad realization that I have no purple dinos or water gargling hovercraft in my collection. :confused: 

    Is that the one you had problems standing? Dipping the legs in some boiled water probably fix that in a jiffy.

    AAHHHH not Remorsel!!! RIP Remorsel we hardly knew ye. :cry

    Lawn League have arrived. Got these spare. UK based. Looking for trades: Mocklate (or the full pack), In-Sole, Dinger, Playroom Posse 1 & 2 and Season's Greeters

    Grass Guzzler on hold

    Did my Sainsburys and Asda today. Nothing. Not even a shelf label. Sad times!

    Happy to sell but will be giving priority to trades. I got them from a Malaysian guy on the Botbots Facebook group who muled a load to the US and this set to me.

    I’ve got four (possibly five) random Lawn League 8 packs en route. I’ll post spares on this thread as soon as I know which ones I get!
