Title: Shopkins
Post by: Wardah on May 27, 2015, 07:07:11 AM
Is anyone else into these? I really been getting into them lately since there is just something about them that makes them addictive. The only ones that I can live without are the shoes. They just look rather plain compared to the shoes on my MH and EAH and even Equestria Girls dolls. I wish I had gotten into them sooner because there were a lot of cute ones in the first series.

She has a big pack, several blind baskets and the fridge set

Bought 3 blind baskets, she got Juicy Orange, a green Boo-hoo Onion, a pink Chic Cupcake, a can of beans who's name escapes me atm, Toasty Pop and a bag of Flour.

I'd love to have the Ice Cube, Sno-cone and some of the Sweet Treats and Frozen food sets. 

I really wanna find the Shopkins Supermarket Playset that thing is so awesome!

I'm not into the shoes either, they lack personality compared to the rest of the line.

They seem to be pretty popular right now! I've watched a bunch of unboxing videos of them and I'm tempted to buy some, got a huge weakness for miniature food. :X

Target was all out of the Trash Pack and Ugglys Pet Shop so, I ended up buying my son a pack of Shopkins. One of the cashiers laughed at me. :(
Rudeness was tolerated that day as my son loved them.

That's just horrible! I don't understand why anyone would laugh. I went to Target today and found season 3 10 packs. Finally!!! But nothing else yet.

I just said "Well, I'd do anything for him, even buy him cutely colored anime looking toys. He's happy."
And he is a very happy kid. :) He would have smothered them with kindness too.  (I just get kinda snippy as I talk. Haha.)

I like them, but most of mine are season 1 because they have become impossible to find where I live. I do have a few season 2, but not many. Also I'm more into collecting MLP.

What business was it of the cashier's to laugh at a customer for no good reason?  :mad: I woulda given em a piece of my mind.

Toys R Us restocked the super market playset, I heard that one's very hard to find and picked it up. It's so cute!

Oooh! I hadn't heard about the shoppies dolls. Way cute! Except I'm not sure about the pink eyes on the one. Kinda weird.

I snagged the grill set with the hamburger fries onion rings etc. It made a perfect stove for her dollhouse and it comes with a lot of shopkins. I'm hoping they make a pizza set soon

I love Shopkins!! I have a couple hundred of them, although I haven't bought too many for a while. Apparently they even have shopkeepers for the Shopkins now called the Shoppies, which are cute.

I totally dig looking at them, but they aren't my thing. I love anthropomorphized things, like appliances and such, but so much of shopkins is food. Like, (within the canon,) do people eat them? Do they cry when they get eaten? Do they rot if no one eats them? I can turn off my brain for a lot of things, but not for living food. Couldn't tell you why!

Why not? They would basically be not gross versions of the Ugglys Pet Shops.

There are so many other pet toys out there on the market and I just liked Shopkins because they aren't toys I typically see everyday. I dunno, I guess I'll have to see them before I judge TOO harshly.

Apparently there's going to be another re-release of the So Cool Fridge in Season Four! Not too thrilled about another re-release of this playset. (Couldn't they have re-released a playset that hasn't been re-released before? Small Mart, maybe?) However, I think the exclusive Shopkins are adorable! The mason jar Petkin is actually pretty cute, but I'm not that big of a fan of the egg one. They remind me a lot of Polly Pocket Cutants.

I just found out through Tumblr that there's going to be an event at TRU tomorrow, details here (http://www.toysrus.com/toyevents).

I probably won't go since I'm "too old" to. Its a shame cause I'd really love to trade a couple of my not-so-loved Shopkins. I wish I knew a kid because the free stuff sounds really cool and I'd rather not pay eBay scalper prices. Oh well.
Title: Re: Shopkins
Post by: Wardah on May 27, 2016, 07:51:59 AM
Eh they know me at the TRU and usually let me participate. (They probably think I have a toy blog or channel or something because I buy toys fairly often and take plenty of pics which in a way I guess is true since I have a toy photo Tumblr but I'm not at all famous) The thing is the golden cookie isn't actually free, it's in a specially labeled 12 pack that you can buy. That said the free tray and mystery collectable sound interesting.

I went to the swap with my kids. They had a ton of fun and did a lot of trading. The tray was a cardboard tray and the surprise toy was a new thing called Twozies. They are so cute and remind me of Sonny Angel a little bit.
Title: Re: Shopkins
Post by: Taxel on May 29, 2016, 11:17:36 AM
I ended up checking it out but it was kind of a trainwreck here so I wimped out and left. They were putting everything away 20 minutes early and only one kid was there. There were still piles of trays. I didn't see the Swapkins pack or the Twozies.

I was pretty surprised, considering how empty Shopkins shelves usually are here. Are they good to scalp or something?

That's really weird. Maybe everyone came early and had already left. Ours was so busy they had to bring in an extra table. The swapkins packs with the golden kookie cookie were actually not in the swap area or the shopkins shelf. I had to ask where to find them. They had their own little shelf in the middle of a random isle.

I have tried to resist these for a long time. I recently caved in and won an auction with a lot of 20 Shopkins. Now I just want more! Shopkins just recently came here to Sweden and they're actually selling season 1 stuff here right now! I was so happy when I saw that, because season 1 is, to my knowledge, starting to get hard to come by in other countries. I just bought a bunch of season 1 2-packs, 5-packs and 12-packs from a Swedish online toy store and they will arrive sometime next week. :D
