TheOrcKing Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,578.Well, it picked up somewhat decently. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 doesn't registering a mr. gold put you in to a raffle bigger prize? If so whats the dead line? Quote

I wouldn't put it past them to hold some kind of raffle for the lucky few who find a Mr. Gold at all though. Quote
comicblast Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Current count of registered Mr. Gold minifigures is 1,602. Went up a tad bit, but nothing outstanding. <yawn> Tell me when 3,000 are found. Remember when we were all contemplating that at least 3,500 would be found by the time Series 10 retired? LOL. We were off by so much. Quote

I have to think the resellers are not registering them. There's going to be zero-transpancy on how many were found. They definitely should have done a mail-in voucher with a deadline so they ensure all the series 10 will be bought. Maybe 10 years down the line, the hogged series 10 will be like 1984 Topps baseball cards when all the store were charge 25 bucks a pack to find a Mark McGwire rookie card during the Maris chase.

Mos_Eisley Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Except that you know what you're getting before you open the package so only sealed boxes will hold extra value. Quote
beeblet65 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 I JUST BOUGHT ONE! FOR $300 OPENED, im going to put him in my Mini figure case for display, so i don't mind that he is opened. As i can see on ebay, i have bought the cheapest Mr. Gold Quote

A lot of people don't want to waste their time or don't care to register the item. You will have hundreds, if not thousands of unregistered Mr. Golds left after the Series 10 EOL. Quote

There will also undoubtedly be those that will never be found, lost or inadvertently destroyed somehow. A vast variety of this example...from forgotten hidden Christmas gifts to burned up delivery trucks. Quote

I kept thinking it was "1984 Olympic Team" from the front of the card. I'm not sure if we'll see the same scenario. Needless to say to open cases are near worthless, but would people save the sealed cases for that long to have a market to find Mr. Gold? Quote

There could be hundreds that kids opened up and threw in the closet or pile of toys that will never be seen again. Quote

beeblet65 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Hello All - Well finally, I own a Mr. Gold. Got a great deal on it, so i had to have it! here it is with my collection of other figures. All Figures in these cases are valued at $50 or more - except for the one next to Mr. Gold, thats an Assassins Creed Custom that my girlfriend gave me =) Quote
