21 Views

Checkers have officially sold out all stock of their Little Shop miniatures, driving the demand for the miniatures through the roof!

Some avid collectors have even taken to online marketplaces to sell or buy missing pieces for thousands of Rands!

The third edition of the trend – consisting of 44 items – costs close to R10 000 to accumulate. However many consumers expressed their frustration at collecting multiple duplicates.

CHECKERS IS OFFICIALLY OUT OF STOCK OF LITTLE SHOP

This week, Checkers announced that most of their stores around the country were officially out of stock of the Little Shop miniatures.

Less than 6 weeks after launching the third edition of the mini-collection, now with 44 collectibles made out of recyclable plastic, stores revealed that they had run dry of

Consumers earned one mini collectible for every R200 spent at Checkers, Checkers Hyper, Checkers Foods, and through the Checkers Sixty60 delivery app. 

Checker Little Shop minis were first introduced in 2016 and again in 2017. This year, they were brought back by popular demand.

‘RARE’ ITEMS IN THE COLLECTION

According to many collectors, the pink Discovery Vitality trolley is one of the rarest items in the Checkers Little Shop. Another is the Yoco machine, a replica of one available at store paypoints.

HAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND TO SPARE? YOU CAN BUY THEM ONLINE

While the Little Shop was initially aimed at children, many adults have become avid collectors.

Some are willing to spend thousands on getting their hands on missing items to finish their collection. And with stores entirely out of stock, the demand has increased considerably.

Many opportunistic consumers are selling their rare items for thousands of rands, while others are auctioning the entire collection for a small fortune.
