I had a few of the old minis from various GameStop events (Trigger Snappy, Terrabite, and Gill Runt), but am having to repurchase (or I guess purchase them for the first time since I never technically paid for the Sidekicks) them to get the new minis. For example, I really wanted Drobit, so I had to get Trigger Snappy again. I put both on my portal, and their stats are identical. So I basically have two of the exact same mini. I love Drobot and was super excited about Drobit, so the $13 for that two pack was worth it to me.

What I think I'm going to have issue with is the Life mini pack when it comes out. I got Barkley with the 3DS version. To buy Whisper Elf, am I going to have to get Barkley again? This kind of sucks. Part of the reason to get a 3DS version of the game in the past was to get a cool figure. Last year was Volcanic Lava Barf Eruptor. The year before was Punch Pop Fiz. Having Barkley now is cool, but if I have to repurchase him to get Whisper Elf, we got nothing special in the 3DS pack this year.

If I were buying Minis while I own some that are the same like having two Mini-Jinis and/or two Trigger Snappies, I'd sell the other one. Preferably, I'd keep the ones that have green and/or orange bases. That's why I'm keeping Whisper Elf with a green base and Eye-Small with an orange base. Sure, the ones with red bases appear to look a little newer and much better than the old ones with green/orange bases, but red is my least favorite color.

In game, mini with a base green and orange just have the note "Series 1"

Yep! I was hoping the older ones would stay sidekicks, so they could follow around the mini of the same figure.. Nope!

What if they packaged Gnarly Barkley with Whisper Elf?

What? That would be awesome! But highly unlikely!
