Its really just a heads up for the Gormiti fans out there.

In the uk there is a store called home bargains which are doing a 5 pack of gormiti for £1.99

Good luck

Whoa, which series is this, Supreme Eclipse?

Home Bargains is generally amazing for discount Gormiti, I got hundreds of Series 1, Atomic and Cartoon Series figures from there over the years, as well as numerous playsets. It's based in my home city too, so there's lot of stores around here with it being a local company

[ChristianG]

yes I remember it saying supreme eclipse on the price label.

I didn't pick up any myself, saving all my pennies for the bootsales.

Shame i don't have any spare cash at the moment or I'd buy a few.

[Strontium Dog]

My mum just phoned me to let me know she picked some of these up today

Apparently they also have the 15cm deluxe figures too, she got me all four of those @ £2.99 each

[Aikola]

Damn the fact that my nearest home bargains is like a trillion miles away!

[nik62es]

..perhaps there is a kind soul somewhere out there willing to buy some and ship them to those unfortunate enough not to live too close to one of these stores...

[Strontium Dog]

Okay, look. I should be able to pick up some boxes for forum members. I'll have to charge £2.50 per box (plus postage) rather than £1.99 in order to cover my costs, unless we have an established trading relationship. If you want them out of box to save on shipping, that's fine.

Bear in mind this is the UK release of the series, so there's no chips in the feet. We got badly short changed with Supreme Eclipse and also didn't get the altars or the exclusive figures with them. However cards are bilingual English and Spanish.

So far I've only seen six seven box assortments, and at present have no reason to believe that there are any more than that. If I see any more I will add them to the thread. There is some duplication of figures across the boxes. I'm not splitting boxes to remove duplicates because that will leave me with a load of shit which I'll be unable to move, and I already have more than 1,000 spare Gormiti figures stinking out my house, which is quite enough already.

These are the seven box assortments. Let me know (i) in this thread or (ii) by PM which assortments you'd be interested in getting. I can't promise I will be able to fulfill every request, but I will try. I've coloured the names of figures which are duplicated, because it's easier to see and I'm nice like that. Names in black text will therefore be unique to that box assortment.

BOX 1: Meteorix, Cyclops, Faunante, Sirgius, Stars
BOX 2: Mimmic, Sonorca, Incubion, Rondor, Bullboar
BOX 3: Rondor, Stars, Hornelm, Diamantes, Xiron
BOX 4: Hornelm, Hippopotamus, Blind Screamer, Bullboar, Picchiavex
BOX 5: Diamantes, Blind Screamer, Morsicor, Mandragora, Hippopotamus
BOX 6: Sirgius, Rockrusher, Moloch, Swampalion, Canon Oak
BOX 7: Plasmarei, Berts, Faunante, Pachidermion, Gorgous

For easy reference, here is the checklist of figures:

First of all, I think that is a great offer...as I made the suggestion, I want o,5% of your net profites, I will forward the bank account details so that you can arrange a transfer, but please bare in mind that the minimum amount should be 5.000 pounds sterling (or equivalent), so that there are no bank transfer charges..having said that, I am sure that the first transfer will come out in a week or so, based on my quick and very serious calculations about your expected profits and volume of merchsandise..hey, they may even name a post office after you..

Secondly, Thanks. This is another of those examples where I see that this forum is definitly made up of people who like lending a hand to each other..and that is nice.

Thirdly, any idea of shipping costs to Spain ? This will end up being bulk instead of weight.. and shipping cost would make all the difference.

PS : do your versions have no chip or not even the hole for the chip ? oh and yes, that is a bummer...I thought they were treating the US badly with that limited offer from the US supplier, but no Altar and no voices sucks big time... funnily enough, one of my best buys was at a local Toys R Us, Uk origen set of golden Gormitis for 10 euros..

Id be interested in a box 1 please, does anyone know how Luxor, Oneiron and the lords are available because apart from Cyclops they are the ones im missing and ive never seen english foil packs.

[Strontium Dog]

I discovered a seventh box assortment which, I think, is the final assortment, as it covers all the figures in the series other than the Lords and the altar figures.

Royal Mail will give you an idea.

A box weighs around 250g. The loose figures figures weigh around 140g.

No chip, just a hole I'm afraid. Annoying, but I can sort of understand it, given how last time they were left with boatloads of unsold Elemental Fusion altars. Then again, maybe if they didn't price the altars at £16 each in the first place, they wouldn't have all gone on to clearance for £3...

The Lords were hard to get here. Some were available in those Tesco exclusive 10-packs. I always assumed there were foil packs too, but I don't recall seeing any. The only Lords I have from this series are from Italy and Spain.

Luxor and Oneiron weren't available in the UK at all.

[ChristianG]

Well I'm glad that turned out well then.

Strontium....seriously...over a thousand gormitis!

In theory 2K's worth....whoa.

- for the idiot(s) among us, what figures are in the seventh box ? (I can hardly keep the other assortments apart, sorry)

Royal Mail will give you an idea.
A box weighs around 250g. The loose figures figures weigh around 140g.

- Do you recon we can get 8 boxes into the max. size of 2 kg ?

- 3 quid for an altar is definitly good value for money..now the hole in the foot is intriguing...I bought a few from Asia like that thinking they were unfinnished, I remember a discussion some time ago on LRG to that effect..people thinking that they were moonligthers, sold from the factory workers and that they chips were fitted elsewhere, but they may have been the real mc coy , ready and complete for the UK market...

- ok, so I need to spend all my money on buying up Lords in order to see my kids through university in 15 years time...great...



PS: how many of those 1.000 spare Gormiti are from the Mistica series ? I may be willing to help you with your storage problem

I think it's doubtful.

Those figures came with Italian cards, so I still think those were factory escapes. But they are, for all intents and purposes, exactly the same as the official UK release.

Well, there's 10 in my trade/sale thread (see sig) but I might have one or two more.

...I finally discovered what "click here" means...
I am not a great lover of Pm`s as they seem sort of sneaky, as in don`t want anyone else to know what I am up to, but I think it`s fair not to bore the socks off everyone else, so I will go through your list and send you a Pm with the stuff I am interested in... when are you next in Spain...Royal Mail is making a killing out of sending stuff...

Can we get some pics of the Supreme Eclipse in package? Also can we add the pics to the checklist?

You can do that yourself when you get yours! In the meantime here is a pic of all the boxes I have for trade.

Damn that box 7 assortment is hard to get! Definitely the least common. I only found four and I had to open one of those. Box 2 was scarce too, the others fairly easy to obtain. They seem to have sold out now, though.

Incidentally, I got one thing wrong:

Luxor and Oneiron weren't available in the UK at all.

They were available in the 10 figure "starter packs".

[Red Marauder]

Yeah, I could see grabbing Boxes 1, 2, and maybe 4?
