Hi, I've just started collecting mini-boglins. I had them as a kid and my partner bought me loads as a surprise after I had mentioned them a few times so I'm going to give collecting them a go. Any tips from some veteran collectors? I've just been picking up some cheap lots on ebay to get going and get the basics...

Hey, welcome to the boards dude,
i always refered to YowieMaggie's index with my collection, heres the link: http://yowiemaggi.ho...glins_index.htm
the only tip i can give is to snatch up the rare ones when you can, they dont show up often
i have been collecting all sorts of Boglins for nearly 18 months,,,,,, ish, and it was only a few weeks ago i finaly got the last mini Boglin i needed to complete the set,
good luck dude, i'll sort my doubles out soon and shoot you a PM

Cheers for the info. I have a few duplicates but I reckon they won't be of much use to some as I'm just starting out...still not entirely sure what constitutes rare. A silver chief prog was in the first lot that arrived.

The less common would be Samurai and Slime Boglins mainly, the Prehistorics and Medievals can be trickier to find too. No Mini Boglin sculpt is genuinely rare and you should be able to complete a full set relatively easily.
Silver Chief Prog is certainly not rare, that one is common to the point of verminous.

Damn...and there was me thinking I was lucky with a chief prog. I have at least two samurai on the way so that's a good start.
