Legolanche Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Imagine how many of these are going to be found by small children who don't know what they have. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Anyone else keeping track of what they're selling for? 450-650. Quite a step down from 1100.... It's the Mr. Gold Limbo! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 660. Should break 700 by Thursday I believe. Anyone else keeping track of what they're selling for? 450-650. Quite a step down from 1100.... It's the Mr. Gold Limbo! A step down but still a considerable amount of money to be made from a $3 item. Quote

TheOrcKing Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 735. Wow, that jumped up rather nicely. I wonder how much longer it shall be before hitting the 1,000 mark? Quote
Curtis Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Normalized it's a $1000 item Agreed. Everyone seems to think that once they're all gone and retired the prices will fall to approx. $300/ea. This confuses me a bit because it goes against everything else in the world of desirable LEGO. Not to mention it's literally a numbered item and purposely limited by TLG...unlike the UCS Death Star everyone is dreaming about performing as the UCS Falcon did. Yet LEGO keeps on churning them out...for 5 years+. I can only guess this is wishful thinking on the part of those that want Mr. Gold, but haven't found him yet. I would expect a spike when Series 11 is announced and then maybe again at Christmas. I bet just as much as the sealed box of Series 10 will empty from secondary-reseller shelves with the promise of a chance to find one this coming holiday season, so too will the guaranteed Mr. Gold himself. From there, when it becomes really difficult to find one who knows where the price will go? Remember, the Mr. Gold audience spans every theme because he doesn't belong to any specific one (other than CMF), so his reach is vast. Current count is now at: 742 Quote
kerrmando Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Its awesome how well they are doing, probably because of the publicity lego gave them Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 775. In another couple of weeks we may get to 1,000 I would guess. Quote

TheOrcKing Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Are you counting the two I have in sealed cases I am an optimist, dont judge me! I have just been going by the ones that have been registered on Lego's own "Where is Mr Gold found?" page. Here's for hoping you have a couple of the golden bugger all the same! Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Just received word from the carrier that our cases will arrive this weekend! As a small business, I have to admit half the fun is seeing a semi pull up to your front door and begin unloading packages from the skids. By the way, although all 300 boxes sold out, we will have another 100 closer to the end of the month. We just received word that we may be able to order some more, but it is my assumption that after these next 100 we will have to raise the price again. Nearly all of our contacts have run out already. The distributor states that LEGO estimated "5-6 Mr. gold" in the 300 cases ordered. He also notes that they had estimated LEGO produced over 15,000,000 minifigures, so he does not see how these figures are correct. Nonetheless, 5-6 is the estimate from LEGO. Good luck to those of you who have ordered! Huge shout out to the guys at MinifiguresPlus. I did some business with them on ebay. We had a slight problem, and they sorted me out quickly and courteously. If you haven't picked up a sealed case of series 10 yet, get one from them. Quote
Darth Lego Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 775. In another couple of weeks we may get to 1,000 I would guess. I agree. 1,000 is coming slowly, but surely. I wonder if members on here have found anymore Mr. Golds recently? Quote
gladeye Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I got a Mr. Gold about two weeks ago, #3006, at a KMART here in Los Angeles (3rd and Fairfax). I feel incredibly fortunate. My son and I have been collecting them all since series one, so ours will be in good company. That said, I do sincerely hate Lego for creating this stress and frustration for so many loyal customers. 3 Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't like anything Lego produces that I can't buy any time at the Lego store. My young son wants a mr gold, and I had to tell him it just wasn't gonna happen. I think a liitle bit of his enthusiasm for Lego died right then. Quote
Quacs Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I wonder if minifig fatigue created by Mr. Gold will sink CMF Series 11? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 858. Shouldn't be too much longer now.... Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I wonder if minifig fatigue created by Mr. Gold will sink CMF Series 11?I think it will be more the lack of an army builder (at least from the list I remember). That said, I will be buolding an army of welders, so I can steal all their welding tools. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 I will be buolding an army of welders, so I can steal all their welding tools. Mwahahaha! I can see myself doing the same thing. A lot of wielders might look cool in a one of those mech or hardsuit hangers. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 896. Almost to the first milestone. Quote
Etan Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found is 896. Almost to the first milestone. Do you think Mr.golds are still being made or are they spread out around the world and people haven't found them yet? Quote
M4x18 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Do you think Mr.golds are still being made or are they spread out around the world and people haven't found them yet? I think they've already been made, packed and shipped! It's just a matter of time. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Do you think Mr.golds are still being made or are they spread out around the world and people haven't found them yet? There were only 5,000 Mr. Golds produced and 'randomly' spread across the globe in an equal number of Collectible Minifigure boxes. Quote
Studebricker Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 There were only 5,000 Mr. Golds produced and 'randomly' spread across the globe in an equal number of Collectible Minifigure boxes. Oh okay -- for some reason I was thinking there were only 1000 made and I was about to post I was surprised more than 800 had been found. Quote
