Yeah pretty cheap I think the novelty may have worn off after the 1st year . My local newsagent said they had not sold as well. How has everyone else seen them , will or should they continue?

Dunno, novalty may have worn thin on this one!! If they made a profit and forsee a small margin again next year, then i think they will do them..

Got my flyer today!

They have sold well up here, I've manage to move quite a bit, tempted to order some more.

Mine was a bit mixed but I expect them to come out again next year.

I think they may of over produced and hopefully do the smart thing next year and reduce production slightly making them retain their value

Got down to 80c up here, though there are still plenty of people looking for them.

The problem now will be that people may just wait for them to hit the Coles shelves at reduced prices in the future.

I predicted last year they wont last, and I still say they won't. They are boring, the Tazos by Smiths were 10 time more appealing and I hope they get them back. The kickers are even more appealing than Chipz, and thats saying something.

I hope they do last though I doubt I will be buying cases of them again. Its good for kids to have something like that to play with, you cant really play with cards (except for flicks hey absti!), without damaging them. These things they can smack up as much as they like, half the time they aren't perfect out of the pack, just makes them more fun for kids.

I have heaps of them that I will probably never sell - too many, when my brother ever comes over they are going with him for my nieces and nephews to play with, I think they are great, waste of time as a seller on eBay these days as its too expensive to list and too hard to get team sets etc, but something for kids (which is what they are meant for).

I hope Smiths does not get them back, I'd prefer Tazos/Kickers to come from an Aus. owned company like Samboy.

The Tazos this year would have been the same as the kickers anyway, just a different name.
