Woolworths Amimal Cards

grandmoon — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 23:45:50 GMT

I have been asked to collect these cards for 2 of the refugee family's we have attending where I volunteer.

I am have no trouble with the cards BUT I need 2 of the books to put them in.

We have tried every Woolies store around here and had no luck.

Can anyone help me do you have a spare one or know where I can obtain them ?

There seems to be quite a few available on ebay but I'm surprised at what they are wanting for them. How much did they cost new from Woolies?

As for the cards, isn't is strange how much people want for a freebie?

The books were 2 for $8

I have read that they are not being reprinted.. and have sold out.

I also read that in a find a word game, a 4 letter word is there in error so they were withdrawn from sale.

Either could be correct.

My 6 yo gs stuck his in a notebook in order, has been great for his counting/numbers skills..

My 6 yo gd has an album but she also used all her spares to make games with, Go Fish, matching pairs etc etc.

Is that right? Well I can already see one seller that has three of them and is BINning them for $25 each. This is a thing for children to collect their cards but greed always takes over.

yep it is correct about the word appearing in the find a word and to make it worse/more funny the letter U appears after the 4 letter word

I have a slightly damaged one due to the dog running over it:( A single page came partly out...nothing really wrong that a piece of tape wouldn't fix. Miss 7 was so upset but was happy to get another.

I've never understood this way of thinking.

Why do people condemn a person for making a profit on an item?

As for his price, if the market won't bear it, then it will remain unsold.

That person presumedly owns these items and he has listed them at the price he is prepared to let somebody else have them.

Our woolies checkout chichs have been very good with the number they are handing out. I went into the bottle shop and they were giving them out there too. The salesman handed me the box and told me to take what I wanted.

I collect them from the checkout chick and give them to the nearest parent (with children)

I agree with what you are saying, joono. Weren't we lucky to be able to collect cereal toys and such without adults immediately summing up their value.

I don't have any children so never bother taking all the things handed out in Woolies.

In future I will have to start collecting and then give them to the poster with the best "why I want them" story.

I will be in my local Woolies tomorrow so will ask if they have any of the books left.

Unfortunately there are no albums left here.

Wollies has made a huge boo boo though with the included word search....

Re: Woolworths Amimal Cards

i-once-was-bump — Tue, 08 Oct 2013 08:03:16 GMT

Was it a boo boo or a very disgruntled employee?
