Because you asked so nicely, we’re extending the gifting period for our Cheezburger Collectibles program by another month! You can now gift your extras through May 15th, 2012 — we hope that with the added grace period, everyone who wants to will be able to join the 82 Club!
I can haz resolutions? Not until after the party! Start the New Year right with a completed collectibles set and prepare for some carefree caterwauling to ring in 2012.
New Year’s Tiny Cat is ready to join the fun and will have his hat, sparkling cider and noisemaker ready for when the Disco Burger Ball drops at midnight! Not one to shy away from a shiny, Tiny Cat loves to watch the Happy Cat-Shaped Fireworks, provided they are on TV with the volume down. Once you’ve recovered from a night of fun, you can start writing your new goals and healthy nomming plan down in your very own ICHC 2012 Calendar, also available IRL! So have fun collecting your last set and be safe out there, cheezfriends!
Nothing can put a hole in the logic of Troll Science, so stop trying to fight it and just collect these four amazing feats of physics for your collectibles set!
If they can do it in a cartoon, it stands to reason it works IRL. Collect a Fire Extinguisher Jetpack and rocket your way past all the logic! If power bills are getting you down, just find yourself a nifty power strip, plug that bad boy in and now you have Infinite Power! Another great way to save some money is to avoid flying altogether and slip on a pair of Wooden Shoes to float your way across the ocean — the saltier the better. If flying IS your thing, just use the theory of Anti-Gravity Cat and slap some buttered toast on your back — there’s no way it could ever land butter side up. Problem, Isaac Newton? Of course you’ll always come out on top if you share your collectibles with cheezfriends, so after you complete your set don’t forget to swap some with your favorite trolls.
‘Twas the night before Memebase and all through the ‘net, I was quietly adding to my collectibles set.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a Flying Spaghetti Monster Wreath spreading satirical, noodle-filled cheer.
Then in a twinkling came a sound from outside, the quiet sobs Forever Alone Rudolph was trying to hide.
There appeared a plump and right jolly young lad, Success Kid with Chrismakkuh’s 9 days of gifts to be had.
To complete my collection was a face on a ball, the troll Santa Klause shouting “Merry Cheezmas to all!”
Now that my collectibles set is all done, I can share with my cheezpals all the memetastic fun.
The sweet aroma of the gingerbreads is wafting through the house as all the little LOLcats gather for a LOLiday Cookie party!
Collect one of Happy Hanukkat’s favorite kosher treats and then add a SnoCat Cookie to your plate, heavily frosted of course. Don’t be shy and take as many Stocking Stuffer cookies as you want; there are plenty to go around! And remember to grab a Bah Humbug Cookie, just as a sweet as the others but with a pinch of sourpuss.
We hope you have as much fun sampling your way through the Cheezburger sites and collecting your cookies as all the LOLcats do nibbling the icing off the tops while no one is looking. Collect all four and share the nomilicious LOLiday spirit with your cheezfriends!
On January 15th, 2012, we will be ending our Cheezburger Collectibles program and retiring Cheezburger Coins. Your existing Collectibles will still be featured and viewable on your Cheezburger Profile, but we will no longer be awarding new Collectibles after January 15th.
Since many of you are fans of our Collectibles, we wanted to let you know in advance about the end of the program. We want to thank you all for participating. As much as we wanted to continue making Cheezburger Collectibles, we could not devote the resources to continue to grow the program and it remained a niche program for our audience of more than 20 million users. Instead, we want to devote our time and resources into features that can benefit the entire community.
Since the Collectibles Program is ending, we will also be retiring Cheezburger Coins and offering a full refund (or LOLmart store credit in the form of a gift certificate, your choice) for any and all Coins purchases made during the life of the program.
We have compiled an FAQ to answer any questions you may have about the Collectibles Program or the Cheezburger Coins refund. If something is not covered below, please let us know in the comments or by contacting Cheezburger Customer Service.
Collectibles Sunset FAQ
Why is Cheezburger ending the Collectibles Program?
Though we have greatly enjoyed running the Collectibles Program, we are not able to devote the resources needed to turn the program into something truly special and uniquely Cheezburger. As a company, we want to make sure that we’re focusing our efforts on creating programs and features for the whole Cheezburger community.
When is my last day to receive a collectible?
After 9pm PST on January 14th, 2012, you will no longer receive a collectible after visiting two or more pages of an I Can Has Cheezburger or Memebase site.
Will I be able to buy any more Cheezburger Coins for purchasing collectibles?
Cheezburger Coins will no longer be available for purchase after 12pm PST on December 15th, 2011.
Will my collectibles still be visible on my Cheezburger Profile?
Your collectibles will still be featured on your profile to show off all of the hard work you put into compiling your collections. Users who sign up for a Cheezburger Profile after January 15th will not receive collectibles via site visits but will be able to receive them as gifts from friends until April 15th, 2012.
What will happen to Cheezburger Trophies?
There will be no change to the Cheezburger Trophies feature and you will continue to receive trophies when you hit a Cheezburger milestone.
Can I still gift and trade my collectibles?
You will be able to trade collectibles with your Cheezburger friends until April 15th, 2012.
Will I be able to get any of the old collectibles to complete my sets?
On January 15th, 2012, we will be making every previously offered collectible available for one month at the price of 1 Cheezburger Coin each. You will be able to use your existing Cheezburger Coins to purchase these collectibles. Receiving the LOLmart refund for previously purchased Cheezburger Coins will not remove them from your profile.
How do I get my Cheezburger Coins refund?
We will be sending out an email to all past purchasers of Cheezburger Coins with details on how to receive your refund or LOLmart store credit. If you have any additional questions, please contact Cheezburger Customer Service.
There’s a rather obscure set of Hipster Kitty collectibles available this week. You’ve probably never heard of them and they are only available to Cheezburger friends so it’s like kind of a big deal. You have to be signed in and everything.
Digital pics are too mainstream so Hipster Kitty made a YouToob video meme instead, now available on VHS at your local thrift store. You too can be as cool as Hipster Kitty with a Limited Edition iBrick phone, but don’t worry: it’s just a case. You wouldn’t possibly think of giving up your iPhone. Snag a Meow-Wave Mixtape before they run out, and dust off that tape deck because even a Walkman is too new school for HK. Only people that truly understand the complexity of the feline condition would get the irony of collecting Hipster Kitty and all these obscure items, so prove your knowledge of un-pop culture by visiting the darkest corners of Cheezburger.com and enjoy the feeling of self-righteousness when you collect them all. Before your friends think they are cool, that is.
OMG, you guys! You should really collect these four hecka cool Musically Oblivious 8th Grader collectibles to show you know tons about all sorts of popular music and stuff!
You know that one band that did the song about some guy named Gregory or Jeremy or something? Oh, Pearl Jelly! You should totally download them and also Snoopy Dawg because he is so awesome in that Katy Perry video. We think he’s really going to be big someday. Oh, and just the other day there was this sweet fast food ad on but they kept saying not to touch their food, which is kinda weird. It was sung by McHammer or something? And we have never seen a vampire that can rock a pair of leggings like Van Halensing or whatever. Who knew the 80’s was so fashion forward, you know?
LOL, well, anyways, just go check out all four of those awesome new bands and share them with your Cheezbuds before they get super popular!
Lulz and prizes not enough? In celebration of Cheezburger’s latest contest, we’re releasing a unique set of collectibles, available only on
Yar.is! Keep checking out the contest daily to collect them all, and stay tuned for the next contest — each one will feature its very own set of lulzy collectibles!

This week, you are cordially invited to the Cheezburger Squee Party! Since most of the guests can’t drive, you’ll have to pick them up for the party in your collectibles set. These little passengers promise to not be a bother!
As pleasant as punch, Fluffy Owl is such a hoot to have around and always keeps an eye out for his pals. Equally adorable, though some say a little nuts, Squee Squirrel is happy to be the life of the party. Sometimes shy but always Lovable Duckling can get kind of quackers when it comes to crowds, so try and make him comfortable with some small talk. Snuggly Panda sees the world in black and white — as in those that want to cuddle or those that need a cuddle — and is happy to oblige either way.
No RSVP necessary, just keep on enjoying your favorite Squee LOLs and pick up these beguiling little party guests as you go. Noms are optional, but always welcome.
