When did Red Rose quit putting figurines in their boxes of tea?

I just bought one and noticed they didn't include one. I thought it was a nice tradition that they've done forever! A sad day for tea lovers!

1. I think some boxes have them and are specially marked.

At Christmas, my daughter bought five boxes of 100 each, just to get the figures for her 11-year-old who collects them. She gave me a lot of the tea and I'm using it.

I've found them in thrift stores and yard sales, and eBay has them but I don't want to pay shipping on a dollar trinket.

2. They also sell them on their website

$5.00 each or collections of 10 for $50

3. I should have looked closer.

I didn't think they sold them WITHOUT the little figurines. I've been buying their tea for 35+ years. Somewhere, I have a whole box of those little things. And they sell them for $5 each? Wow!

4. You have to order your tea from their website to get them

http://www.redrosetea.com

You get one free figurine (American Heritage series only) with each box; if you buy three or more boxes you get an extra figurine.

(I like the figurines too...I have a lot of them.)
