You should feel lucky US is at least getting the mini destroyer...
Australia?? nothing...yes we do have access to YOUR mags in certain areas but there's nothing EXCLUSIVE to OZ.
and this has been discussed to death.

There will only be 1000 of the rare minis given out, I believe.

All in all, I can't understand what your post is about. The title of your thread says "uk and other getting more rare minis america left out", so it sounds like your message is that America should get the rare minis. However, your post talks about the minis becoming less rare, so it seems that you're complaining about the rare minis.

I realize english isn't your native language but could you still try and explain more about what your point is?

I reiterate what kenichiukiya says.

You get the right to whinge about exclusive stuff when you live in a place that hardly gets any.

Seconded. We're considered euro but without the benefits. We don't even get to console ourselves with favour anymore...

I completely agree. We don't get anything exclusive here. Hell, we can't even get the games in Australia on their actual release dates! We were not able to get Factions or Nightfall until after a week or two of them having already been released! Same I think goes for New Zealand.

Honestly, not saying this is the case of the OP or anything, but some people may have learning disabilities that may make them bad spellers or not able to put coherent sentences together. I have a cousin with autism who gets picked on for her atrocious spelling all the time and she gets really upset by it. You should really consider what you're saying. It's not like it adds anything constructive to the post.

OT: Yeah it sucks but at least for the Halloween contest everyone has a chance to win one of those Minis. But yeah, this has been beat to death. A lot.

Roshi_ikkyu · Sep 26, 2007, 05:45 AM // 05:45

Word for the Aussies,

And dude this was on guru just recently about all this, The uk eruo side fighting over US getting exclusives like Grawl/Destroyer. And the US fighting over Uk eruo getting the chance to win a rare mini.

All the while Australia is like "WTF? mate!"..... @#$%ing kangaroo.... No mini pet.

And a special shout out to a South african brother who is in the same boat as aussies and Nzers, but with crapper connection and no homelande support. Stay strong bro!

Anet give the neglected some love.

...we're considered euro thusly having to pay out our arses in the online store via AUD to GBP conversion!

Totally shocking.

And games cost a bucketload here, 100 bucks for a new shelf product. Sometimes 55 or so for an expansion pack.

Waakku · Sep 26, 2007, 06:03 AM // 06:03

Does anyone really know how these minis are given out? Is it so that you will get a mini if you buy the magazine, but it has huge percentage of being Grawl, or is it so that some people get nothing?

unienaule · Sep 26, 2007, 07:53 AM // 07:53

They're considered "rare and valuable" minipets because FEW PEOPLE HAVE THEM. If, say, Vizu was passed out like candy via PC Gamer, would it be worth OMGWTFBBQ money and be considered one of the "good ones"? No. If a minipet is going to be rare, that means it will be (gasp) difficult to obtain.

Shakkara · Sep 26, 2007, 08:04 AM // 08:04

Quit whining, there's the halloween contest for everyone, and there's a kanaxai and pandas to win there too! So far the only exclusive minis are the asura, giant and destroyer, which are exclusive to the US. All of the others can be obtained from almost all countries.

Its a free gift and people still whine because they can't HAVE IT ALL HAVE IT NOW AND FOR FREE WITHOUT ME DOING A THING!

But since the OP manner of speaking, I think it's just another total loss IRL who tries to get in GW what it can't IRL, and fails at that too. Boo hoo, so sad.

ReiNaruto · Sep 26, 2007, 08:07 AM // 08:07

But, having another, let's say, 100 more vizus, will decrease so much its prize? I think it will stay in the top of the price-list.

Ceylon Tea Cat · Sep 26, 2007, 09:06 AM // 09:06

may i ask a stupid question?

are there 1k minipet codes total
or 10k minipet codes total?

they didn't say giving each country 1k codes

anet never sayed anything about that, all i could find is that the magazines seem to believe they have 1000 total to give out (1000 for each mag).
but i can see anet splitting the 1000 between all the magazines

and to op; wth are you on about we get a lousy chance to get really rich, and you get a garanteed way to get minis, you have no right to arse about it especially since certain countries didn't get minis at all

Heh, that may be true for minis like Zhed and Vizu, but I think the panda would still be coveted even if it were as common as the pig.

Go to EB, they had Factions and Nightfall on day 1. Collectors Editions and pre orders are another matter, however. And EotN. That was absolutely abysmal distribution.

give up, Im sticking to my theory they just throw darts at a map and give out free money
