US series Yowies swap topic

Series 6 has landed in the US! I found a box at my local grocery store. Just in time for Easter baskets-- good choice, Yowie!

I only bought one egg, though, due to being in a hurry that day and also wanting to avoid the probability of same-box duplicates.

That's excellent news!

Found some where I live too!

Is there anything to distinguish them from the Wild Water series other than the box? Sometimes the stores near me re-stock new ones in the old boxes.

I was disappointed to see that the net weight trick wont work on this series, they are also listed as 0.8 as was the water series, and I dont think the foil wrap is distinguishable either.

With that said, the white sticker on the bottom might be the best way to try and differentiate the series. The water series will have old best before dates. Out of what I bought, the 1 old figure (mixed in a new box) was a best before February 2021 and all the new ones were marked best before June 2021. That's all I can figure. Might be worth looking at before you purchase.

Otherwise, they are in new boxing so initially that should help a little.

Thanks, that's helpful to know!

Thanks for the update! I was considering trying to trade with someone in Australia, this is much better. I will check the best-by dates; all I'm still seeing for cartons is the Wild Waters ones.

Hopefully you can find some soon Kelly! My local Walmart hasnt gotten them in, I found them at a grocery store called Winco. Keep looking!

I found some at Walgreens when I was picking up a few supplies. Got a honey badger and a sloth.

Still not in my area, I've been looking. Oh well.

I have only seen them at Winco so far in my area, none at Walmart or Walgreens. Although I will probably not be re-visiting any of those stores in the near future since they typically have so many customers and I want to lower my COVID-19 exposure risk as much as possible.

One Walgreens had a box. If your store bothers to replace the box, the new one has a hot pink front and a puffin coming out of the egg instead of a penguin.

FWIW, the series 6 had a 'best by June 2021'. My Walmart just got some series 5 that were best by May 2021.

Glad you finally found some Kelly!

Updated my list in the first post for the Bites, Gummies and Colors series.

I've updated my list on the first page! Still missing four from the Colors series.

I should try and pick up a few next time I'm at Walmart; I was at the 'old' store today and looked but they were out. I will look.

Thanks, very kind of you.

Thanks, all.

Hmm, know I have the mantella; it's yours if you want it Tim.

Thanks, Kelly! I'll send you a PM

I went for a while not buying any Yowies, but I recently bought this and I updated my list. It is a three pack of Yowies I bought from Walmart. Hubby wanted a buffalo, and it was great buying some Yowies and for once knowing for sure I was getting at least one that I wanted! Here is a picture of the package. I have not seen them anywhere else. The buffalo did not have papers (although that doesn't bother me). The two capsules had figures from the Series 5 Wild Water series.

Wonderful Yowies!

Well, that's interesting. Sounds like a good way to stretch out the lifetimes of the molds. Walmart is kind of hard to get to for me, unfortunately.
