Hey UK friends. I'm interested in tracking down the 8 pack of European exclusives that included gray tank and plane (Ironside and Airlift) plus dark brown/rust submarine. Give a shout (by PM) if any leads. I truly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks sincerely!!

Sorry, dude, but that set never came out in the UK.

This is a two-year-old thread that you dug up.

Thanks for the help. I'm a graphic designer, so paying attention to numbers and dates isn't my forte. LOL. :grin:

From what I remember we only got one series of the mini-cons with sweets here in the UK. I saw a gift set ages ago with 8 to 10 minicons under the Universe line.

I've a few of the sweet minicons still in baggies as my fumbling skills sucked back then, and I ended up with a fare few doubles lol

I'll not be home until tomorrow, so will check what I have then and let you know.

Yeah, if you had doubles I might be interested in the ones that were significantly different from USA. I remember the dragon was bright colored green for one. I'll have to dig again for differences, but certainly shoot me a PM to let me know which you find dupes of. Cheers, my friend!

Check ebay for French sellers for the 8 pack, it had a limited release over there and that's where I scored mine, can't see any up at the moment though.

Thanks for that tip! Will try to keep an eye out on FrenchBay.

Damn, this thread is old, it's come back to haunt me 8-}

Yea that Universe set showed up for like 5 minutes, I believe it was exclusive to Whooly's which closed down at the time.

It shows up on ebay twice a year, if that, and goes for about $200+. Good luck man, there are a lot of us that want this set, myself included, but it's extremely rare.

Look for "Iron Claw" and "Airlift" - these two have had sparse, but at least existent, single packed releases in the US.

I really appreciate that info. Will help me in searching... and budgeting. LOL. I'm really wanting it on a whim because I like the colors, so ... quite a shame the price is that high. Maybe I can locate an opened package that the rest of you guys are less interested in.

Good hunting!

Or under £20 including international shipping that I paid for mine. French and Czech listings, ignore stuff from the English speaking countries where people are looking for silly money.
