NRL Micro Figures 2016?

[Rocket1908]

Keary's hair looks oddly rounded/smooty compared to the shopping bag amd website images. Also, is it just me or did they actually make Hodkinson's hair different from the standard piece they used for him last time? Because that would make it easier for people to find Holmes and the other box

Foubd some stage 2 today at trusty waratah. 2 proctor, then gold cronk, milford, granville, cordner and peachy.

Will probably swap the gold cronk for a few young guns or commons

EDIT: Cronk and therefore Cherry-Evans are in the box with Cordner, Milford, Keary, Peachy, etc.

How good would it be if you get get team folders for the micros

Just a random thought

Wouldnt be bad but they havent done team merch very well this year in terms of availability. I havent seen a single knights shopping bag in Newcastle

The micros -at least in my area - don't seem to be shifting. The merchandise went quick though. All the bags and blow ups at my local Coles - and they had heaps - mostly gone.

same in my area all the merch went in a week, but the micros and folders were still there

 

[Rocket1908]

We still have a handful of bags and blowups available.

Anyone seen the Footy Mates yet?

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I still reckon they could make classic team sets in little display boxes. 5-6 players from a club's golden period.

Team folders would be ace.

Or bags of multi players 2-3 in a pack or builder team sets - so 3-5 generic mould player in team colours.

 

[Rocket1908]

Love the first idea but generic players ruins the fun a little

I believe half the issue is incredibly bad marketing for them.

Last year they were everywhere. Huge posters and cardboard cutouts, with a box at every register. That equals a parents nightmare when the kids want them when they see them as they check out.

This year, all six or seven stores I have been to have had a handful of boxes (that are almost untouched) hidden away at the end of an aisle at the back of the store. It dead set takes 5 minutes of walking around to see if they have them.

I have still only found one coles ( out of seven I checked) that has stocked wave 2 of this years set. This again has proved a source of frustration. In fact the only store that has them only had four boxes and after an initial purchase of 30 packs I went back to fin someone had bought the lot of wave two as all that was left was empty boxes of it and a tonne of wave one!

Why are these not at the front of the store on every register? They are missing the boat on this one.....

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Yeah. All bar my local have had them up the back at the end of an aisle.

 

[Parrapaul]

What's a gold dce going for?

I have one if anyone needs one

So my friend claims to have dug around in the source code of the Micro Figure site and found some info we aren't supposed to see yet, he says in relation to Stage 3. I'm not sure about his legitimacy as I haven't seen any first-hand proof or images but he claims to have a checklist. More info as it comes

EDIT: My friend claims that Series 3 contains:
Alex Glenn
Aiden Sezer
Josh Jackson
Ben Barba
David Mead
Young Tonumaipea
Tariq Sims
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
Antonio Winterstein
Anthony Watmough
Josh Mansour
Alex Johnston
Blake Ferguson

Young Stars:
Sione Mata'utia
Tuimoala Lolohea
Euan Aitken
Jackson Hastings

Once again, grain of salt. It does match up with what we know so far but it's just a list of names.

One from each team this year too!

 

[Rocket1908]

I've only seen Foran and Mannering through the website. Anyone know if it's just this year's figures as plush? I'd like to see a Sam Burgess or a Reynolds but I don't mind if it's George Burgess or Johnston either.

the ones I have seen are the same names that were the blow-up micro-figurines

 

[Wookiedragon]

Its Reynolds for Souths.

My kids have gone nuts for the Benji Marshall one........

The Edrick Lee one for the Raiders is great too.
