Picked up two 12 packs @ 2 for £15 Argos in Newcastle. Got my scabby cat and a bird flu.. shame i dont trust moose enough to try and collect the whole series.

Cool, will be checking out Argos at the weekend.

Boy you got super lucky! I don't think anyone here even got a single ultra rare from series 1 and here you got 2 out of 3!

Well I only found the Trash Craft and then bought the other one but I still feel lucky that I found one.

Anyone finding the Trash Pack Easter Eggs?

[Metalmonkey]

Did you guys and girls who live in the states get the drop & fizz trash pack 8 packs for series 2?
Went into toyworld today and they just their order in, and they had these packs along with the truck & nuclear container thingy.
Wonder if theres more of a chance of finding rares in these, but the price is just under the 12 pack which is better value for money.

Yes, got the 8-Pack Fizz packs at Toys-r-Us, but no easter eggs. Bummer considering easter is this weekend.

Had a day off from work so after leaving the bank with some $ to burn figured I would go LRG Hunting. Hit 2 TRU's, 2 Super Targets, 1 Super Wal-Mart and found nothing I was looking for...lastly hit a small Kmart on my way home..and see 4 packs of these - Series 1, and I didn't notice these at the previous stores....looked interesting so I bought all 4. Got home and seen these are actually a section on this forum. Usually I don't open packs, but these had me intrigued so I opened two of the four packs, and being bored I lined a few up and snapped a photo, kinda neat is you ask me. Will definitely be keeping my eyes open for these.

Does anyone know when the second wave will be released for series 2?

what are the visible trashies in the remaining 5-packs you have?

[laserbeast]

007 Rotten Apple / 108 Noxious Bee are the two visible ones in the other two 5 packs.

[laserbeast]

Would seem TRU gets there shipments on Fridays here...went to a different TRU today and they had everything but the 12packs, and only one garbage truck....which sits in my case now unopened also snagged a few dunk'n fizz & wheelie bin...otherwise the racks were full with Series 2..no Series 1. Been looking for a newer toy line to add to the shelves, until I'm able to find S.L.U.G. Zombies.. these will do just fine Also little new to these, but I've been doing a bit of reading and have read they come in waves?

I have opened those 2 as well, here's what you would get:

[bizrebellion]

so whats the verdict??

my children are bugging me to buy these for them, so tomorrow im concidering going to TrU to get them a 5 pack each, and while they look fun to collect theres just so many,

common, rare, ltd edition etc, i fear that once i start collecting them i wont stop till i have them all

this is all i need, another fun toyline to bleed my wallet dry

[waaaaghlord]

so whats the verdict??

The verdict, for me, is a big thumbs up on the toys and a big let down on the shady distribution practices. I've not had a careful check against the list of what came out as series1/wave1 and what as series1/wave2 but I'm pretty sure that everything I've picked up at UK retail so far has been wave 1. It could end up being the case that places like Home Bargains buying up overstock will be UKers' best bet at seeing the wave 2 stuff at retail once series 2 starts appearing. QC isn't 100%. Out of 70 odd figures picked up so far I've had 2 missing a paint ap (probably wouldn't have noticed if they hadn't been doubles though), I am keeping these factory errors though, even if I don't intend to go out of my way to amass any more. I seem to have more doubles than I'd expect as well, although that's largely my own fault for managing to pick up 2 of the same 12 pack from Argos, a mistake I wouldn't have made actually getting them off a shelf rather than having someone bringing them out from a stockroom, but hey, you live and learn.

I can see this being a really tough line to 'complete', but they are a lot of fun and far and away my favourite minifig line available at retail right now. If you like I can send you a handful of my doubles before you commit to spending anything on the line, that should give you a good feel for them and I'll be happy to trade along the way if you get hooked.

Hey guys, first post here. I love the site and have lurked before.
Now for what I want to know is how to find "Sicken Chicken."

My Son had him and "traded" him for a squinkie at his old school. Any help would be really appreciated.
I think it came in a starter, but if it was ever in a 6 pack anyone know who was showing? Thanks in advance.
I also have things to trade if anyone has an extra.

[Red5]

Anyone know about the Sicken Chicken?

[supereggy5]

I heard that series 2 wave 2 is out. Does anybody have any proof?

I wouldn't know how to tell. Bought 2 twelve packs today. Visible figures were yellow Gunky Gargoyle and blue Garbo Martian in one and red Dung Bug and blue Bog Hog in the other.

Edit: I get what you are saying with wave 2 now. Didn't realize they put them out in waves like that, but my two kids have a little over 100 series 2 figures between them and the doubles are starting to add up while they have none of a lot of the figures on the list. Luckily there are only 3 that they've had triples of between them. I guess I'll wait to see new visible figures before buying any more. This is also probably why my Toys R Us isn't selling out their stock immediately lately.

One toys r us locally barely has any Trash Pack items...went to a different one and they were loaded, even had some Series 1 items on their clearance shelves, picked up 2 Collector's Tins for $12 each, and half a dozen 5 packs for $4.99 a pop. Seems to be a hit and miss with these as well, but I know which one to hit now

So has anyone seen the series 2.2? Went to a TRU today and they didn't have a single Trash Pack set (starter, fizz or 5 pack).

[iwao]

So has anyone seen the series 2.2?

Nope. Wife went nuts today and bought four fizz packs and four 5-packs with TRU having BOGO 50% off this week, but they were all wave 1. Sounds like the Delaware TRU she went to had a motherload of all kinds of packs, but she said all the visible figures were ones she recognized from wave 1.

The triples and quadruples for my kids are up to about 20. We're going to hold off until we see wave 2 now. Both kids really wanted Yucko Taco and we went from having none to having doubles of each color today.
