Microstars Worldstars

I’ve been collecting the little microstar football figures which you can find at 7-11 in those little packs, The promotion is more or less ending currently and some stores have sold out or return their items as the world cup is over. There were 40 figures to collect from this set which is actually the 19th in the series. The figures also come in 7 different coloured bases from Green the easiest to get to Red, Blue, White, Silver and Gold and the last ultra rare Black Base figures, essentially its the same figure just that you had different base colour but these can be used in game play as well and the rarer the base the higher and stronger the player. I was just really only interested in the Liverpool figures (the other teams were Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United)  and this set had the most 8 in all, they were Aquilani, Agger, Babel, Gerrard, Kuyt, Torres, Skrtel and Mascherano. I started out just picking packs and then I came across a guy who help me get my Skrtel which I needed at that time as I did not have a single Skrtel and he could feel the figure. He did mention he could not get it right always but he probably could find any figure you need about 80% to 90% of the time. I was quite happy to get at least 1 of each figure at that time but then I decided to go on a quest to get all the colours of each Liverpool player. That was tough I was just randomly buying a pack here and there and then I decided to try to feel the figures was not very successful at first but now I think I can feel for any of the 8 Liverpool players. I’m about 90% accurate maybe once in a while I may get it wrong but not often anyway I finally managed to complete my set and here it is my pride and joy. All 8 Liverpool Figures in the 6 bases colours or Green, Red, Blue, White, Silver and Gold. Of course the ultra rare gold colour ones I am still short of 4 (Aquilani, Bable, Gerrard and Agger)
Set

This was completed with help from trading and selling some of my spares, ended up with a fairly large amount of spares due to my random picking days. Was also scouring the island for 7-11 shops to try and find the figures I needed. I made friends with some of the 7-11 owners and managed to get them to sell me the display case as well for me to showcase my figures.

The last figure that I had to collect was the very elusive Blue Base Steven Gerrard shown below.

It took me a while to get this figure I finally found him at a Shell Station 7-11 shop in Loyang. I almost wanted to give the station a miss but then just decided to pull in and park there to see if they had the microstars figures and they did and managed to get Gerrard in there. Well I’m happy now that the collection is complete but I do stillhave the 4 Black Bases to look out for.

IF ANYONE READING THIS HAS THE ANY OF THE 4 BLACK BASE FIGURES (AQUILANI, BABEL, AGGER, GERRARD) DROP ME A COMMENT AND CONTACT HERE AND I AM WILLING TO BUY FROM YOU OR TRADE FOR SOME OTHER FIGURES THAT I HAVE.
