Phil B Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Isn't this just a MB Kubros ripoff? OK, TLG has better licenses, but I don’t see much difference... Edited February 1, 2017 by Phil B stupid autocorrect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, my oldest went on a brickheadz building spree this past weekend, generating characters from other story themes. Based on that, I think the series has legs with the under 14 crowd.

bigboy61 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Hello fellow brickpickers. I just received the email about the Lego Brickheadz. I thought I would start a new discussion about them. What are your thoughts about them? Do you think they will be a winner or an absolute dog?

seapotato Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It looks like they are trying to capitalize on the popularity of Funko Pops (which is dying down imo). I kind of want to get beauty and the beast though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenxxx Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah... they're cute... but hasn't the market had enough of big-head-collectible-figurines, yet? I also immediately thought about Series 1 Mixels and how those turned to gold so quickly... but there's a difference: We were all "unsure" about Mixels...I thought, "Will kids even like these?... Will adults pay a premium for these? ... Will they even make more than one or two series?" Consequently, many of us passed on the Series 1 Mixels, and the value rocketed. These are such an obvious choice for the collector (and the arbitrageur), my fear would be a market glut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Templar Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There is no play value. These are strictly to collect/display. We have had this discussion on other threads about lego entering "different markets" and with great success. I like pop they are cool. I don't collect or buy them though. I will however buy these. Brand plays a huge factor and I'm willing to say these will be worth more than any funko or anything else like it. Yes it's a copy but just wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird55 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I'm interigued by these... I'm new to this, but my thought was to buy a significant number of them on the 15th when they are available to VIP members and post them on EBay/Bricklink right away. Perhaps people unaware of or not interested in the VIP program would pay above/double retail? Any thoughts/suggestions on that idea?

How are you going to buy "a significant number of them" without getting banned by LEGO? 2. If your strategy is bad, people might tell you. If your strategy is good, people won't tell you because that's their strategy too, and they don't need more competition 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a starter, "significant number" is probably much less than what you would consider it. Maybe only 2-3 of the top few most popular. Follow up question, Lego bans people? This lego investing thing is no joke! As for questions 2: I take that as a good sign, but I wouldn't tell you, because if I though your strategy in telling me something was bad, I'd tell you but if it was good, than I wouldn't tell you it was. So I'm not going to tell youweather or not I think it's a good idea. Hahaha! Thanks! 2 minutes ago, bigboy61 said: Do it. If you get banned you get bragging rights ;). Sounds fun! I'm in!

Do yourself a favor and look up the limited edition and exclusive POP prices on eBay. Some of them go for crazy money. They have a very large and loyal fan base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird55 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So my next question, for anyone who feels they could answer it, would be what will the most popular, in demand sets be, in two weeks before they pop on shelves for everyone in particular?

Bluebird55 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The limit is advertised as 2, anyone know if that is per order? Or per customer? I figure the batsman one would be the most popular. I think I'll make one order of 3, 2 batmans, and one other, that gives me free shipping and the free poster which I also intent to flip. If I can sell those, and quickly, then I'll go back in and order my "significant quality". Anyone know if many many order of 3 will get me banned? Order 3 at a time gives me more posters, not that they will have much value... but it's free and free is free. My last decision would be, after Bateman, what would the most valuable one be? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Beast and belle would be a nice,obvious combo. Combos can be helpful on eBay. Find some that match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
