Breaking: Woolworths makes new announcement about Lion King Ooshies Collectors Cases

Many fans are still desperate to get their hands on one - by Amy Sinclair

It’s been one of the most popular supermarket promotions in recent times, with hundreds of thousands of shoppers being caught up in Woolworths Lion King Ooshie madness.

But while many are still shopping and trading to try to try and find one of the 100 ultra rare Furry Simba Ooshies released by Woolworths, there is one thing some fans are even more desperate to get their hands on - a collector’s case.

Breaking: Woolworths makes new announcement about Lion King Ooshies Collectors Cases

Many shoppers have been desperately calling Woolies stores around the country to find one of the coveted cases, as well as appealing to Woolworths directly on their Facebook page and on various Ooshies Buy, Swap and Swap groups.

But in a disappointing development, Woolworths has now confirmed to New Idea Food that all stores are now completely sold out of Lion King Ooshie cases. It’s disappointing news for shoppers who were hoping to still find one in stores.

Says one fan on Facebook: ‘My son started collecting these quite late, and I’m desperate for a collector’s case.’ Added another: ‘I’ve gone from store to store, I can’t find a collector’s case anywhere.’

But don’t fear as there are still other options to find one of the rare cases (see box below). Good luck!
