update to Mr. Gold count

I've been hitting up my local targets/walmart and still no sign of series 10 yet Jealous of those lucky few who have already got a chance to get some.

@rcdb could you post the listing of the case you ordered please.

Another one popped up in Tuckerton, New Jersey; Number 3271.

It has a starting bid of $799.99!

And another in Mountain Home, Idaho; Number 4544.

It is already at $610 and a reserve that has not been met!

True, but these guys seem pretty reputable for the most part. Good feedback, they mention that the cases are sealed within an outer Lego shipping box, and they've been selling Lego for awhile. Don't think it's worth it for them to damage their reputation going through the trouble of trying to make it look like they resealed the boxes. Who knows though. I guess it is possible.

If they wanted to, it wouldn't be hard.

The sealed Lego boxes are a bit of a reassurance, but they ship them with 2 in a case (I have 4 Series 2 boxes that came in 2 Lego cartons)

The sealed minifig boxes though only have 2 circular seals which are easy to pop on and off.

Yet another in La Mesa, California; Number 3739.

At $660 currently.

That one surprised me the first time I managed to get my hands on a box of 30. Two tiny circle seals on top of both sides of the lid that can be circumvented. Now I myself have not tried, I just think the seals are cheap.

The certainly are. I expected more really. I have had a couple come from retailers with a seal popped.

Number 4576 found in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.

Currently at $500.

Won't be long for these to be under $300 or so I Imagine

Number 4154 found in Richardson, Texas.

Currently at $561.99.

Number 4855 found in Spring Hill, Kansas.

Currently at $501.

Bye bye $1000 sales

Number 1331 found in Belgium, Europe.

Currently at $950 and is a private listing.

No Mr Gold this time but if anyone wants a complete set of Series 10, check out this eBay listing.

Here's one for a sealed case of 60.

Good grief. Here's one that sold for $1,000! Only a single bidder though. Strange....

Number 4610 in Tacoma, Washington.

Number 3194 found in Fullerton, California.

Wait a minute, Mos Eisley Trading Company? Why does that sound familiar?

Hmm.... :-)

I think I just found Twiddlepotts listing in Portland, Oregon for his 4928.

Wow....

Number 4616 found in Ellensburg, Washington.

Sold for $700.

So you can keep your list updated, TheOrcKing, mine was number 3194 and I'm in Southern California. I think it would be cool if your list also kept track of location when possible.

Thank you for the number and idea. I updated the main post with the location of each if it can be be found.

Well, it was only a week ago from yesterday when the first two popped up on eBay and the number of Mr Golds found has jumped up exponentially already! So far, I managed to tally up a total of 28 Mr Golds found! Can you believe that?!

Yes, they are beginning to pop up everywhere and the full release hasn't even happened yet. There should be 100+ listed on ebay in no time.

The sealed minifig boxes though only have 2 circular seals which are easy to pop on and off.

The minifigures now come in case packs of just one box of 60 per case. It may have switched in Series 8, but for sure Series 9 was all sent out with one box per case.

That's somewhat reassuring. Still on the fence about it, but I wouldn't mind just ordering a case like that, Mr. Gold or not. I was surprised to see cases of older series' can still be had on Ebay for what ends up being less than the 2.99 each retail price. I didn't start buying any minifigs until series 8 and there's alot I missed that I'd like to go back and get, series 5 in particular had a bunch of characters I wanted.

I feel bad for TLG. They made a really cool, blinged-out, limited run minifig, and nobody wants to keep it lol.

People want to keep it, it's just valuable to keep
