Smyths reveals Shopkins ‘Swap-kins’ plans

Toy chain hosting exclusive event in all stores on Saturday March 18.

Smyths Toys Superstores is hosting an exclusive Shopkins ‘Swap-kins’ event across all of its stores on Saturday, March 18.

The initiative has been set up to encourage children to get together and come in-store to swap their unwanted Shopkins characters with fellow fans.

The retailer will be providing special swapping areas in-store, with the event running between 2pm and 4pm.

As well as swapping, fans will also get the chance to see the Season 7 range, which includes the new party series.

Free Shopkins samples and posters will also be given out in-store, while the Shopkins Treat Truck will be making an appearance at the Smyths Toys Chelmsford store, giving those in the area a chance to come on board and experience further Shopkins activities.
