Woolworths Building Ring Thingies

[Goldseeker]

Please be advised that Woolworths has started to issue round building thingies as collector items.

Wife will be collocting them so if you go shopping at Woolworths, and don't want these thingies, the wife would appreciate them.

TIA.

Will keep you in mind Goldie.
Time to change your signature line too.

I will ask my wife to look out for them.
What are "Building Ring Thingies"? I looked on Woolies site and all I could find was Marvel Heroes Super Discs have landed at Woolworths

[seedyrom]

Yeah. .. I don't know that they will be thaaaat desirable ... unless your wife is 12?

Hm...the people in the Marvel ad were waaaay over 12.  They must have been a bit embarrassed making it unless they were very well paid.

Don't forget folks, my wife is collecting these.

We need numbers 5.  12.  18,  24,  30, 36 and 42.

They seem to be scarcest of the lot.

So my son just busted me going through his stuff in his room

"What are you doing?"
"Oh, I was just looking at your Woolies tokens"
"Why?"
"There's someone on an Internet forum I'm on who is looking for some particular tokens"
Chuckling: "heh heh ... the swap day was yesterday mate. Heh heh heh"

Anyway .... we went through the tokens together



"So what do I get?"

I have number 24 too. Does wifey want it?  :angel:

I just entered round two of negotiations for the disk.

"Can I have the token and we post it to that guy?"
"Yeah sure. After I've built my structure (he's working on something), I'm just going to throw them into the fire pit anyway. I reckon they'll burn really well."


PM your address and I'll get a guy to drop it at your door

I didn't know they even had numbers.
I've just been throwing them all into a bag for you.
...
OK just spent the last ten minutes breaking them out.
I have these for you..
5 x 05
1 x 24
4 x 30
PM me your address and how many you want.
I have about another 50 assorted ones you can have too if you want.

I haven't been following these at all but there was a news story I half heard about some of these selling for a lot. I fobbed it off as a slow news day and the media can easily do an internet search, use some facebook quotes and eBay info and make up a story. I did my own eBay search and it's possible (if it wasn't shill bidding) that some of these have sold for a bit.

What do those in the know think about rarity or has Woolies done this (limited production on particular discs) on purpose for the media attention?

[Goldseeker]

Those prices are way out of line.

With the help of some people on this forum, wifey now only needs only 2 x No 12 and 1 x 42.

Not so much the media attention I think, but more likely just
to get customers back into the shop.

Here's a simple way to save money on the "rare" discs:
