Kinder Surprise figurine trade - anyone interested?

[Vintergatan]

Hey guys
So, when I was a kid, a Kinder egg was my daily treat after lunch and I have accumulated a lot of figurines. I would now like to complete some of my sets but before I go to ebay (which I would prefer not to :S) I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to trade?
I have some doubles and some random Kinder egg stuff that people might like (I'm sticking to hand painted ones).
Please let me know if interested ^^ Oh, and in case you want some of the kinder figurines I have but don't have some to trade, contact me nevertheless I'm sure we can figure something out (no pun intended!)

Following are random, pointless pictures of some of my favourite sets

Hmm, don't think I have any of those sets, mine are all kinda random (and I'm not entirely positive where they are anymore). I only have a couple that I want to keep, someday I need to find them and put them up for sale.

Oh, just a note, the sets I posted above are not the only ones I'm interested i just posted them because they are pretty! I am interested in pretty much any hand painted figurine I don't have

Oh gosh those are so cute!! I have never had any of them...don't think they are sold here. Was there ever a set with alligators or crocs (just curious hubby collects them)

Yep I learned from one of our lovely across seas members recently about these neat things. You wouldn't have one here because of the toy inside the candy being an issue they are not approved.

Yes, I heard that Kinder eggs are banned in the US, that's so sad
And yes, there were a few gator sets around, I only have these, and sadly no doubles:

Oh gosh so cute!! I just saw that set on ebay... and so did my hubby. I'm sure we will be hunting them down now :3

I remember a few of those sets! I might have a few spares from my childhood hanging around somewhere. The only ones I have with me right now are more from more recent/trademarked series (Smurfs, Looney Tunes and Asterix, I think). If I come across my childhood figures, I'll let you know

Thanks guys I might also be interested in the more recent ones if I like them ^^ and Gemini, good luck to you and your hubby! Those crocs are adorable and are one of the sets I really want to complete myself

Wow! I have never seen Kinder Surprise Figurines....They are very neat! I wish we got them over here... Good luck finishing your collection!

So that's what they look like! Neat!!

Great collection Vinter! I love the turtle set as well.
I had a lot from the early 90s and 2012-2013 collections -- not entirely sure where most of them are either unfortunately but I will keep this thread in mind!

Do you know of any sites that list collections/checklists and the value of Kinder toys?

P.S. Yes, Kinder is still banned in the US; but if you google "kinder now allowed in the US" or something, you'll find there are knockoff Kinders that were recently allowed to be sold in the US as of winter 2013!

I love collecting the kinder egg figurines! All the other toys are crap lol. I stock up when they are sold here at christmas time. I pretty much only keep my favorites and don't have any full sets though. Do you have any monsters? I'd love to see your extras, might be interested! I also like the fuzzy/flocked animals.

Cadence, the best I've found so far is this:
http://thore.se/Handpaint.htm

This page has sets by year. As for their worth, I didn't find a page, but I was looking around e-bay and they are really not worth that much, $1-$5 per figurine, but I've seen complete sets sell for $7 and such. Which is why I'd prefer to just trade

stopxmotion, yay I'm going to have some breakfast and then set up an album with the kinder stuff I'm willing to part with

Oh,and I've seen the page here on the Arena that said Kinder eggs are allowed in the US but was disappointed when I saw it was the knock-offs then again, real kinder eggs are way to expensive for me to eat now anyway so I guess it doesn't matter, as long as something is allowed ^^

Ok, here's what I have that I want to trade. I'm still not 100% sure on whether I want to keep the gnomes or not, I guess it depends what I can trade them for ^^ I do prefer animals.

I used to have a skiing bunny figure.  I think I may buy a few more Kinder Eggs and see what fun stuff I get.  The only Kinder prize I have right now is a set of car stickers.
