I've moved all my full sets of series 2 and have 8 left, no sub themes and too expensive at this stage to fill them out. What's the best way to move these, sell them individually, or just stick them up as a batch lot? I'd probably list them individually at a competitive price for each model. You'd be surprised at the number of collectors who just need one or two of the older, hard to find offerings to round out their collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 probably just a bug. Series 9 images have already been out there for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergman Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) LEGO mentioned that Series 8 sold out online within one day. Totally ridiculous imo. I get the resellers game, but to get stuff for kids and have no choice but 3x via ebay is insane. I spoke with a GM at Target and a local TRU, who actually mentioned that they are not due any stock. Saw none at my local Lego store the other day, either. I got the fire themed ones via Amazon, but cannot find the others anywhere, other than resell at this point. Crazy.

cory730 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I found 2 sets at Toys R Us and 2 today at Walmart. Sold the first 2 for $85 on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 wow. might have to use this as my excuse to stop collecting these, or go check out the local lego store. it's 50/50. great little builds but there are just so many.

I used Series 8 to get me to $75 for the GWP at LEGO Shop at Home this month. I'm not in the Mixels resell game anymore. Billions of.series. 8 at legoland CA I should meet you for lunch, lol. It would give me an excuse to go grab a few sets to resell. Edit to add: Series 8 is really my favorite series to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixels share the same typical release schedule as the Collectable Minifigures therefore Series 9 (or this year's third series) should be September at the earliest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Mixels is done in 2017: http://brickset.com/article/23310 Quote Mixels coming to an end in 2017 Posted by TheBrickPal, 29 Aug 2016 19:30 It's official: after BIONICLE G2, Mixels is the next LEGO theme to get the axe after this October's Series 9 hits shelves. This description from TV show producer Jordan Reichek on LinkedIn confirms all, ending months of speculation since the theme's absence at SDCC: LEGO / CARTOON NETWORK, "MIXELS"- SHOWS FINISHED AND DELIVERED...LAST EPSIODE PREMIERS IN SEPTEMBER. THANKS CARTOON NETWORK AND LEGO! GREAT FUN! I'm not surprised at all, to be honest. The line just has not been as popular this year as it was in its first couple, and most LEGO themes with media ties like Mixels only last three or so years anyway. Regardless, being a collectable theme I would argue it could have continued on just fine. But to be fair... I blame Cartoon Network's carelessness for the franchise and its fans. No matter what though, it will always be remembered. We here at Brickset are doing a few things to celebrate the theme's end, which you can read after the break...

Alpinemaps Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 That's a bummer. I enjoy these and was really enjoying the whimsical every day item/theme direction they had been taking with the last couple of series. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose now to top this all off, we will need some random adolescent rant on in a journal about how LEGO has destroyed their childhood taking away their favorite theme and the company can go stuff themselves or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It was time. I was so tired of my son begging me to buy those dang things every time we went to the store. I'm ecstatic to see the death of the Mixels line!! Of course, now he'll probably want Ninjago instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm gonna guess TRU knew this and that's why they raised the price to $5.99 on the last batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
