Hey LRG friends, I'm back with an update on what I've been doing in the six years since first starting this thread. It's been a rather "on and off" journey so to speak, and since decided to broaden my horizons with my collecting and made me think outside the (cereal) box you could say! lol
Anyway here's some pics I've taken earlier today:

The first pic shows my first lot of boglins I got from the guy who runs the cereal offers website. They're permanently displayed in their cardboard swamp scene. The second pic shows the latest lot I got from him a few months ago along with 1kg box, safe to say the box will remain intact and the figures are staying all wrapped up in their little baggies this time!
Pics four and five show both sides of a page torn out from a Beano comic advertising the mini-fig promo with Kellogg's. He gave me that in 2014 (sorry I didn't share that sooner!)
Now here's where things get interesting with pics five and six. This is an entire treasure trove of give-aways dating from 1989 - 1999 all purely relating to Frosties and nothing else. All are kept in the MIMP box and even decided to re-use an actual cereal bag to store them instead of some random boring container. I know a lot of this stuff isn't related to LRG's but I thought I'd show you nonetheless. Well, this is the miscellaneous section after all. So here goes, everything shown was bought from various sellers on eBay UK within the past year and is in chronological order from top to bottom:
Tony's Flyers - 1989
Tony's Joke Machine - 1989
Tony's Magic Tricks - 1990
Wildlife Transfer Kits - 1991
Sporting Tony Figures - 1991
Day-Glo Stickers - 1992
Monster In My Pocket - 1993
Mini Boglins - 1994
Thunderbirds Vehicles - 1994
Monster Wrestlers - 1995
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers - 1995
Gladiators 3D Glasses - 1995
Euro 96 Virtual Video - 1996
Space Jam Trophies - 1997
Star Wars Episode 1 Statuettes - 1999
It's interesting to find out that some of these goodies weren't all exclusive to Frosties. The footie viewers, Looney Tunes trophies and Star Wars figures were available in many other cereals too. I think it's good to know they were so many more great free gifts out there other than MIMP and Boglins, and this is all within the UK and nowhere else. I'm glad to have this opportunity to share this with everyone whether you're an LRG fan or otherwise, die-hard collectors or newbies just beginning their quest into the world of collectables.
Let me know what y'all have to say anyways. Always appreciate your feedback on subjects like these, and please share if any of you have something similar!
