My Kinder Egg Quest

monkeyfudge

I'm currently engaged in a quest to collect the current series of alien kinder egg toys.

They're pretty funky... they're little aliens who were human masks. You can also collect little space ship cars for them to drive around in.

So far I have this guy with a car:



And this guy:


I've bought 10 eggs today... and that's 3 items out of 8 I have.

I wonder how long it will take to get them all.

So that's what happened to the Kinder Egg I bought for the ladies lounge beers! I am interested in your quest. I must buy one at lunch time today!

monkeyfudge

I think Windsock has it still.

I'll have to get it next time I see her.

But in the mean time I can try and get it myself. I think that one was the one with the green, hair was it?

I just noticed there are actually 5 aliens and 5 spaceships to get. 2 girls, 2 guys and a weird little fella with a purple helmet.

Thank you for logging in BossArky.

bleh... was typing while I was on the phone...

Jaysus, Kinder Eggs are so expensive, I wouldn't have the money for a venture like that! They're, what, about €1 each? I bet you they'll release them in phases too, so it'll take you months to get them all.

Good luck though! Keep us updated.

monkeyfudge

I think 4 eggs cost me €3.60 in the little corner shop..

God... it's it tiny little shop that isn't very busy... they're going to think I'm insane or possible stocking up on sweets to lure children into my lair.

watna

You can buy three packs in the supermarket. That be more cost effective and exciting..!

I'm sure windsock will get the green alien to you at the next beers!

monkeyfudge

Well I'm off to buy another handful now.

Wish me luck!

watna

So, what did you get?

monkeyfudge

I bought 7 eggs. I opened 5 and got another car from one of them.



I'll open the other two later... all this kinder chocolate is making me feel ill again at the moment.

monkeyfudge

Well nothing of use in the other two. Most of the toys are pretty crappy... But these three are kind of neat.. there are two sort of oddly contorted dragons with strange signs and a ghost with a 6 sided die inside his belly.

Purple..... helmet. heh. hehe. hehehehe. hehehehehehehe. Also, I want kinder eggs now.

monkeyfudge

ARgh... I got the blue guy again today... If anyone wants to do swapsies then let me know.

I also have two of these strange dust bin figures which don't seem to assemble properly...

I hate to say it, but I never managed to complete a Kinder egg collection. They normally release a new toy before you've actually got all the current ones, thus luring you into a dark egg shaped world of fanatical collectorship. Before you know it, you'll be surrounded by plastic aliens, singing trees, racing cars, spaceships, boats and so on and so on. You will soon be working only to feed your egg habit. The darkest part is that if you go online and enter your secret code to find out the next part of the story, subliminal message are beamed into your head that confirm to you the utter importance of collecting every single toy available.....

And in the meantime, the good people of Kinder are letting out a "Mwoohahahaha" that sends a shiver down the spine of everyone in Luxembourg.

You're on a dark path Mr Monkeyfudge, I advise you to leave at your next possible availability before you join the legions of those who have gone before you and now work in the underground plastic egg factory. Its a dark place, a chocolatey place, and a place with no shortage of small plastic toys that are not suitable for children under 3.

monkeyfudge

But I plan to use the internet to my advantage.

I'm sure 6th will part with the purple guy if I apply the correct amount of persuasion.

Also Windsock is due to give me the Green one. Through the power of boards I will complete the collection...


UPDATE: Bought 4 eggs today and 2 eggs last night... Didn't get any of them... boo...

6th

Its Yours Monkeyfudge!

I have this guy too

Malteaser!

HOw many is there to collect???

monkeyfudge

5 different aliens and 5 different cars.

I've had a bad dose of food poisoning so I haven't been able to consume any kinder eggs for a few days... So the quest has slowed down a bit.

watna

I bought two yeterday but didn't get any aliens. I got a dragon that lights up when you press down on him and a little car. Most disappointing!

monkeyfudge

I think the drop rate is about 1 in 6.

Those are tough odds! No wonder you're up to your tits in Kinder chocolate!

Earthhorse

I used to collect Kinder eggs (well, the toys inside them) when I were a lad. Had over a hundred of them at one stage I think. Used to keep them in an old Twix box decorated with Garbage Pale Kids.

You realise you can crack open the eggs and save the chocolate for later, right?

PM me for instructions.

monkeyfudge

It's the hard shiny orange chocolate on the inside that makes my tummy hurt.

Archeron

Beginning a tale involving chocolate eggs, hard yellow plastic and aliens that wear human masks and drive around in funky little cars without telling us how it ends is not fair.
I need closure on this story.

monkeyfudge

Ha.. it's still ongoing.

I've gotten the girl with the green hair twice and the space ship with the pink wings.

Photos when I get the chance.

PurplePrincess

Damn you Monkeyfudge, I'm going to have to go to the shop now to buy myself a kinder egg..

monkeyfudge

Oh.. here's a poor quality photo of the green haired girl:



I'll take a good quality group photo on Monday.

monkeyfudge

This what a corner of my office is looking like right now:



Eh... I made the Hitcher from the Mighty Boosh myself last night.

BlitzKrieg

heh I'm his little helper...but I have a habit of eating the toys that come in the eggs i buy...

though I have 3 dustbin ones so far which are great, they are actually a bit challanging to put together which is a nice throw back to *classic* kinder egg toys.

monkeyfudge

I got the white car with the blue wings again this evening.

Oh.. and the freaking gingerbread man again.

BlitzKrieg

he doesnt taste as nice as the fiona toy.

monkeyfudge

The one with the tumor?

Makaveli

The old trick with getting the good toys was to see if the egg was heavier than others. If it was you were on to a winner. I dunno if you can use that tactic this time around though. I haven't eaten a Kinder Egg in about 15 years.

monkeyfudge

The local shop keeps them behind the counter... so I can't do that.

Got two of those c*nting spy toys today...

Plus the shop has increased the prices by 10%.

This is a dark day in my kinder quest.

Makaveli

If there's a Tecso near you try there. They just keep them out on a massive stand. Probably cheaper there too.

monkeyfudge

Oh... I've been keeping most of the plastic containers.

I may have go at doing an art installation or something with all these... Think Art Attack.

Star Lord

Think more about some kind of installation that can launch the orange containers, preferably at 6th's head...

<_<

All I need is a Taiwanese prostitute.

Picked up a 6 pack in Dunnes and it worked out cheaper. €5.25 for 6.

Just got this cool rubber muntant tomato again. I already had him, but he's awesome so I'm glad to get him again. And I got an easter bunny too.. they're pretty neat as well.

watna

Monkeyfudge.. are your teeth not falling out of your head at this stage?!











Don't mind me, I'm just jealous of your kinder egg toys collection.

monkeyfudge

I think I'm actually losing weight though.

4 of those eggs a day are rather filling so I find myself having smaller lunches and dinners.

aaro26

you really like kinder eggs dont you...

monkeyfudge

I hate them.

But I really NEED to complete the set of toys.

Irish Wolf

So, whatya missing now monkeyfudge?

orestes

Dammit, now I want a kinder egg! What are you missing at this stage Monkeyfudge? If I get one ya need I'd be more than happy to assist you on your noble quest!

monkeyfudge

I need the blonde girl and 2 of the space ships.

The Real B-man

You Really Need to get out Monkey

Its a fruitless mission man, dont fall for their ploys. I partook in dozens of collectings in my childhood, and like all products of this ilk, there will always be one in the collection that they dont actually make, or at best make two of so they are worth billions.
Your hard earned euros are funding an evil intergalactic egg/chocolate/ toy syndicate that is getting people hooked everywhere.

Walk away while you still can..........

monkeyfudge

Well I'm at the Beer Guts beers right now...

I brought 18 eggs with me for the brothers to enjoy...

Not a single hit.

Booooooo!
