Hello kitty mini figures

Options
Firstly sorry if I have posted this on the wrong site.
Does anyone know where I can purchase Hello Kitty Mini Figures that represent different countries. My daughter took her collection into school on the last day to play with; the other children in her class took board games. Unfortunately, as she is special needs she can not play these games so the teacher allowed her to take in her collection and her little Hello Kitty House to play with. She noticed that one was missing when she was packing up and that another girl had it. The other girl said she was looking at it and would return it back to her locker before the end of the day, mmm. My daughter, who sees no bad in anyone, stayed longer after school to look for it-but nothing. The one that has been taken is 'MEXICO' her favourite. She will not see anyone from her old school now as she is going to a different school so I need to replace it as she is heart broken.
Any ideas P-L-E-A-S-E

    I have had a quick search for you and not found one. Could you not ring the manufactures of Hello Kitty and explain they may be able to help you purchase or even send you a new Mexico one.

    My daughter told me this afternoon that she collected them from the chub lollies. They had this big ball on the top of the lolly that contained a figure from the Hello Kitty range. Off we went this afternoon to all the shops that sold sweets but they have all stopped doing them as Ben10 has now taken over the promotion, greaatttttt. It is now looking doubtfull but thanks again. I will keep trying as you never know.

    Hi, I feel sooooo sad for your daughter reading your post :(

    Just had a google around and there has been some ending on Ebay lately (including this one which ended yesterday for 60p - is this the right one?):-

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHUPA-CHUPS-COLLECTABLE-MEXICO-HELLO-KITTY-FIGURE-BNIP-/180698836755

    So there's definitely hope another one could come up soon.
    Good luck x

    Asda have them online: http://groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/catalog/sectionpagecontainer.jsp?skuId=910000434065

    I don't know if they have them instore but if you have an Asda locally, it might be worth a trip to see. In fact, if it was me, I'd go to any of the local supermarkets and ask directly at the customer services desk. Even if they are not on the shelves they might have some left over in the warehouse.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.
