(Hong Kong, 28 July 2008) Octopus Cards Limited ("OCL") is bringing yet another
innovative product to customers and special-edition Octopus
collectors in Hong Kong! As an extension to the highly sought
after Hello Kitty Mini Octopus series, OCL is launching a
brand new Sold Mini Octopus series which features the very
popular characters of My Melody and Minna No Tabo. This new
series will be available at all 7-Eleven outlets starting
from tomorrow, 29 July 2008, at a price of HK$148 each. The
price does not include any deposit or initial stored value.
This brand new series offers three unique designs - two for My Melody and one
for Minna No Tabo. In addition to a 3-D plush charm and a
key chain, for the very first time all the designs come with
a specially-designed card pouch that lets you attach the Mini Octopus
to your
bag, mobile
or other belongings. The colourful ornament is set to blend
well with all summer fashion, making it a fantastic accessory
as you travel around
and go on a shopping spree!
Sold Mini Octopus measures 4.7 cm by 3 cm, or one-third the
size of a standard Octopus. Like all Octopus products, it can be used
on public transport and at more than 5,000 retail outlets across Hong
Kong. It can be linked to the Octopus Automatic Add Value Service and
registered for the Octopus Rewards Programme to earn Reward$. It can
also be reloaded at any Octopus service provider or retailer authorised
to provide the Octopus add value service.
Only a limited quantity of the My Melody and Minna No Tabo
Sold Adult Mini Octopus is available. So don't miss this
chance to be the first to own one of them! For more details,
please visit the Octopus
website, or call
the Octopus Customer Hotline on 2266-2222.
