That frikin nuts Chris! Shocked

I agree though... a little bit of dark side didn't hurt anyone What a Face

I have a little interest in the Tazo Promotion for the Special addition release by Walkers Crisps. I think they belong to the same corporate giant as Frito Lay? Aswell as the Tazos and promo items I am trying to get the different characters that appeared on the crisp (potato chip) packets. That was until a helpful person sold me a "few"packets. I honestly didn't what to expect until I opened the box. The best packing job I ever seen...




And here's what I found...

Wow Craig that is quite the haul! I have a set of those mini statues with the scrolls shown on the cereal box. I collected those at the time as I was living in England then. I think I got most of them from Frosties though.

BLIMEY!

I must ask, how do you get the smell of the crisps out? Did you wash each bag then flatten them ? lol

I had a full set of Tazos - Too cool for school Laughing

Very cool!!!! Smile

You should show that to Gus with his cereal box collection! Smile

I remember trying to get all the different Pepsi can variations when EP1 was released. I think I still have a box full of them somewhere. Very Happy

Those Pepsi Cans Evil or Very Mad I was stupid and left them full. They eventually exploded a few years back. Luckily it only damaged one vintage piece, but I was pretty ticked at the time. I still have them in storage at my parents house, but I punctured all of them from the bottom and emptied them out.

Thanks for the comments guys....

All of what you saw came from just one guy... he said he was only sending a few packets to me for my tazo collection so you could imagine my surprise when this turned up! He even threw in the EP1 stuff for free!

I was only intending to get 1 sample of each packet produced but now I have no intention on selling on the rest.

I didn't check every packet. But the ones I did look at, they were all washed by the original owner... though after 12-13 years I think even Walker's E-numbers wouldn't last that long! So no dodgy smells!

Shawn man... that nuts about exploding cans... I would of been gutted! I rememebr the EP1 pepsi cans when I lived in canada... though I had to drinking some sweet fizzy drink "mountain rain" or something to get some of the characters.
