Swap rules: Be fair, be cute & avoid drama
Three of the same Lolli Riot? Congratulations – they’re great for swapping! Your spare figures could be just the companion someone else has been longing for. Simply swap them for the Lolli Riots you’re missing and, whilst you’re at it, make someone else happy who’s been looking for exactly the one you have!
What’s the best way to swap? It’s simple: see which of your mates are up for it, be fair and send your items safely. Find other collectors on Instagram, TikTok, in a WhatsApp group or at your favourite café – just drop a #LolliRiotSwap and see the magic happen.
Important to remember: Swapping isn’t a competition, it’s about community. Celebrate other people’s successes, share your own success stories, and remember: a fair swap = good karma = more luck next time (it really works – I’m not joking)!
Expert tips for your collection
- Condition is everything: Treat your figures like VIPs. A figure in pristine condition is much easier to swap.
- Safe dispatch: When swapping online, make sure you pad your figures well! (Bubble wrap is your friend). Use the original packaging if you still have it.
- Remember me: Does your friend collect them too? Go ahead and be the first to give away your spare Lolli Riot. She’ll remember it when she draws a duplicate!
How many boxes until the full collection is complete?
“Just one more box and I’ll have them all” – those famous last words before you draw two more of the same type. But hey, you’re only one buddy short, and we’ll celebrate every win with you!
Real Talk: Probability is just a theory, and your chances of drawing that long-awaited card vary. It’s therefore hard to say how quickly your collection will be complete. Just see it as a challenge!
Real Talk: Strategy tip: The more boxes you have, the greater your chance of getting that last missing figure! And if you do end up with a duplicate, you know the drill: more duplicates = more trading power = a complete collection faster! Probability is just theory, and your luck in drawing that long-awaited buddy varies. It’s therefore hard to say how quickly your collection will be complete. Just think of it as a challenge!

Frequently Asked Questions about Collecting and Swapping Lolli Riots
The best places to swap:
- Online: Instagram and TikTok are your go-to platforms! Search for #LolliRiotTausch, #LolliRiotTrade or #LolliRiotCollector – that’s where other collectors post their duplicates and ‘wanted’ lists. You can also find what you’re looking for in Facebook groups or Discord servers for collectors.
- Offline: University campus, your favourite café or simply asking around amongst your friends – you’d be surprised how many of them secretly collect too! Sometimes, just having a figurine on your desk is enough to strike up a conversation.
- Safety first: It’s best to swap in person or use a tracked delivery service. For online swaps: take screenshots of your arrangements, be fair, and if in doubt, it’s better to ask than to end up annoyed. The community is usually friendly and happy to help!
Tip: Start a “Trade Tuesday” with your mates – once a month, bring along your duplicates and swap them. It’s fun, brings you closer to completing your collection, and your little flatmates finally get some new neighbours. Win-win-win!
Take a deep breath: Double Lollipop Riots aren’t a problem – they’re your secret superpower! Here are your options:
- Become a Trading Queen/King: Use your duplicates as a form of currency to swap for missing Buddies. Someone out there is looking for exactly the Buddy you have three of – and might just have the one you’re missing. Perfect!
- Start a giveaway: Make your friends, siblings or fellow students happy! A random “Hey, I thought this would suit you” along with a cute Buddy instantly lifts everyone’s spirits.
- Get creative: Some collectors give their duplicates different jobs – one guards the coffee machine, one chills out in the car, one keeps an eye on the plants being watered. Your Buddies are incredibly versatile!
- Earn community karma: Post your duplicates on social media for free with “looking for a home” – the community will love you and next time, someone might return the favour.
Your Lolli Riots aren’t just cute – they’re active participants in your life. They only count as two when they’re hanging out side by side. So just rearrange them:
- Desk setup: The buddy next to your laptop who watches you when you’re panicking about deadlines
- Bathroom mirror: Your morning routine cheerleader (or judge, depending on the day)
- Car dashboard: Your tiny co-pilot with questionable navigation skills
- Bedside table: The buddy who witnesses your 2 am existential crisis
- Kitchen: Witness to your 3 am ramen creations
