Give you something extra when you spend $30 at Coles. Considering these extra are special edition within limited time.
No bargain,
The major supermarkets always have spend $30 get some freebie all the time.
Usually tokens, or flips or similar
They're giving you something of value which you can flip for money. Its free money with a bit of luck / effort.
The could post cash converters entire stock as a bargain then, as for a bit of effort I could make money from it.
Have you seen the prices they charge? Lol
These things only have “value” because people are stupid.
What about those that think that people who drink "Maker's Mark Bourbon 700mL" are stupid?
Imagine the swap meets during the Xmas period.
There's only five this time, so shouldn't be too bad.
Did you vote against any of the other plastic bargains listed on this site? Or just this one?
I can't see any negs against this cling wrap deal, which involves a lot more single use plastic than these toysIt's almost like you learnt those words today and are trying to show them off.
Surely you can word it so you don't use don't and use prevent instead a bs line full of ps so much better
Surely this belongs in the forums?
More expensive plastic little choke hazards
Inb4 the environment
Associated?
Waste of time, effort and money. Why not lower grocery prices?
Failing to see how this is a bargain; it’s just pure marketing for Coles (and why would you shop at Coles anyway, everyone knows you have to go to a mix of Woolies, Coles and Aldi for best prices).
and why would you shop only at Coles anyway
Also username doesn't check out ;)
Not when flybuys makes you around $50 a month
Grab the popcorn!!!
Can I grab chips?
not a bargain
I find it interesting how deals like this bring out the environmental virtue signallers.
I suspect most of them drive cars, wear synthetic fibres, have fridges and cupboards full of food packed in plastic (or cardboard made from virgin wood pulp), …I couldn't care less about the "plastic environmental impact"
Just as a consumer, would far prefer a spend $X get 10% off deal or a better catalog with more specials
Not a piece of plastic that most people will end up throwing out within a few years.

And you think their marketing budget has anything to do with the price of your plastic wrapped bananas? Yeah sure it does.
Not a piece of plastic that most people will end up throwing out within a few years.
Like the plastic that you throw out after every single time you shop there? Of course that doesn't come into it.
yeah, for environmental impact i’d be more concerned about plastic take away containers, plastic coffee cups, etc which people are happy to use once and can’t be recycled as they are the wrong type of plastic.
so it’s ok to go to kmart or big w or target and buy a toy kitchen set which comes with plastic groceries but not ok to get those same plastic groceries for effectively free.
they cost coles a few cents each so don’t actually impact the cost of your groceries.
Funnily enough I can't see this posted last time when Little Shop was actually in full force?
What suddenly makes it a bargain?Oh well what do you know, it was actually posted.
Didn't show up when I searched "Coles Little Shop" or "Mini Collectables".Still this is like advertising a happy meal (with price in title of course) and saying a free toy for each happy meal purchase.
People complaining about plastic. Get over it.
Do they force you to accept them and take them home? If not, where's the problem?
Your children will tell you where the problem is when they grow up, new dad
How much normally?
obviously they're not sold normally. that actually increases their value.
they sell for close to $10 each online.
when the original promo started, I collected a few as part of my shoppping,
then I saw the hysteria with the collectors and even swap meets and people trying to flog them on ebay for $1000+
so I just stopped,
fast fwd a few months,. I just purchased the entire set for $50 on ebay!
just wait until the hysteria dies down and you can pick them up for peanuts
or sell them for exuberant amounts to those with peanuts… for brains
You paid $50 for them?
Hope they were all still unopened in the original packaging so they you can flog them off later as original mint condition collectables.
Fast fwd a few months.. pick them up for free from the tip.
FTFY.
No. Could have NFC (Not for consumption).
3 reports and 7 negs haha, why are people so upset about this? Do they hate fun?
What's amazing is these people are somehow shocked about toys being made of plastic lmao.
They'll have a heart attack when they see all the little plastic toys in gachapon from Japan lol
OzBargain will need trigger warnings next and safe spaces for the snowflakes to rest after their fake outrage has worn them out. Meanwhile the same outraged snowflakes are buying all sorts of rubbish from China.
hmm maybe make them from corn starch and food coloring …..
the plastic police need to take a good look. at where the big volumes of plastic in their household come from and how they are disposed , eg styrofoam packing, synthetic clothes, micro beads in body care products that wash into ocean,
Where’s the fun?
Oh boy - here i go collecting again.
Thanks for posting! Needed some more garbage on this planet.
Thanks for posting! Needed some more garbage on this planet.
So who are you to declare this as garbage when others would say what you buy is rubbish? Talk about a hypocrite.
The negative reason you gave isn't even a valid one, OzBargain need to start banning people for abusing the negative vote.
I hate that Coles drops all the big Flybuys deals when these mini collectibles are on because they don't have to do as much to get people into the store
I agree. I personally have no interest in these toys and would also rather some targeted flybuys offers.
However, some people enjoy the toys and the tiny amount of plastic involved is minuscule compared with the environmental impacts of so many other things that we all do every day, so good on them.
It's amazing how much hate these toys seem to generate. Not that long ago, free speech used to mean "I might disagree with everything that you say and find it deeply offensive, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it".
this is awesome, I love the minis
"How is buying plastic crap that doesn't last a bargain??"
This was your comment a while ago on Xinew Quartz Watch.I can see the watch lasting longer than minis and in the end minis will end up in landfill just like you say "do you actually think these watches you post are good? I would expect someone with the username of "watchnerd" to actually no about watches because I am sure these watches are landfill"
I, for one, welcome our new Coles Little Shop overlords - as do my young children. Thanks OP.
Clearly an ad. Children will pester their parents to get them some. Poor parents.
Clearly an ad. Children will pester their parents to get them some. Poor parents.
Maybe the parents who can't say no to their children should take a look in the mirror. Good try there to blame Coles for shit parenting.
my kid (11 yr old) is an over achiever … he wants an ipad and gaming keyboard …..
you get your kids to keep trying to win at sports it’s called persistence …they wants stuff you aren’t interested in it’s called pestering …. same characteritic different names.
Still nice to have. My kids love these cuties. Those who negged, get a life brah.
Have no life. I'm on Ozbargain.
My kids loved these too, even got a full collection. No idea where it is now though… Went to get a loaf of bread, made the mistake of taking my daughter with me. $30 loaf of bread…
wish they did these via the liquor land section at coles , go to buy a bottle of cheap wine from coupon offer, also buy some beer to make the $30 mark ….. “ honey i bought the beer so Portia gets her coles mini” ,
“ mummy can you buy some more gin so we get another coles mini?”maybe dans needs dans minis ….mini bottles of moët, jack daniels etc …… would make one heck of a doll house fit out for ken and barbie, or toys to swap at school “ do you want to swap my mini prosecco for your bollinger “
if you have multiples they can make mini boxes for storing in lots of 6 or 12.
They go crazy on buy swap and sell for these lol
OP should be marked as associated for spamming us with this. It's just free plastic toys if you spend over a certain amount.
Do I get cheaper groceries? No.
Don't understand what the deal is - free plastic crap if you spend over $30?
No freebie if you just buy milk and bread.
Stop advertising for them.
Seriously. What a nonsense post.
Maybe you should buy a car too from a dealer which gives you a $1000 gift card. Drive the car to coles, use the gift card to spend 30 and use the precious plastic as a keyring for your new car key.
Rinse and repeat until you are homeless but hey you will hv a huge number of multiple collectibles and loads of food. Do whatever you want to do with the food but on the rubbish collection day dump the collectibles into to yellow bin okay the one which says recycling not the greenWhat a nonsense post.
Do whatever you want to do with the food but on the rubbish collection day dump the collectibles into to yellow bin okay the one which says recycling not the greenWho else sees the irony? Have there been any recent deals relating to English language courses or cheap punctuation?
these go into the landfill bin not the recycling bin …..wrong type of plastic ….
Waste of resources for more junk plastic in the world.
This is not a bargain, just a wasteful advertising gimmick.
Coleworth can do whatever they want. This shouldn't be classified as a 'deal'. Great click-bait though so the admin's won't remove it.
Spend $30, get a .30cent piece of plastic.
Def bargain
Ends up cluttering our homes. And they use kids in their marketing techniques.
Which advertising doesn't target a particular audience?
You know you can say no to your kids.
Eg. My kids want to shop at woolworths as it is closer to home. I say No, I shop at Coles. Ie. I'm in control, not them :)
Why is this a bargain. This is anything but a bargain.
