TheOrcKing Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 The rarer minfigures are the more valuable ones.Usually, then you get Series 8's Santa with a ratio of 4/60 and he is more valuable than any with a 3/60 ratio in that lineup so desirability plays a part in the grand scheme of things as well as rarity. So from series 10, the besides Mr. Gold, Medussa is hard to find?Medusa, Librarian, Bumblebee Girl, Grandpa, Sea Captain, and Trendsetter are the rarest in Series 10. You can check out the other Series box ratios here in The Complete List. Quote

I bought a butt load of Series 8's from Walliemart when they clearanced them for $1 back in the day and lo and behold, no Santa. Stupid Flanders. Quote
krayzie Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I bought a butt load of Series 8's from Walliemart when they clearanced them for $1 back in the day and lo and behold, no Santa. Stupid Flanders. That is the problem with everyone being able to feel through the bags. I am surprised lego hasn't put the figures in tiny boxes so that every purchase is completely random. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Good grief, I forgot all about this little sucker. Sorry about that! Anywho, the current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,780. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Good grief, I forgot all about this little sucker. Sorry about that! Anywho, the current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,780. You have disappointed us. If I were in your shoes, I would just leave the site and never come back... Quote

MartinP Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Good grief, I forgot all about this little sucker. Sorry about that! Anywho, the current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,780. Why does the count seem to low. There were 5,000 produced. I had a felling that there would be more, but I guess not. Quote
comicblast Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Well TOK, I guess we can expect an annual update on this for the next 10 or so years... LOL Quote
MartinP Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Well TOK, I guess we can expect an annual update on this for the next 10 or so years... LOL I was thinking more like a monthly update. "Over a period of one month, only ONE Mr.Gold has been found." Quote
Diabolos80 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 It's all those grubby little kids got them and didn't register! Booo! Although I myself am fairly lazy; if I found one I might never get around to registering it. Maybe there's one in my sealed case... Quote
kvasir Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 There are plenty of well-made customed Mr. Gold on ebay. I'd probably buy it for around 20$ to save the trouble and hassle. But you can make your own based off of the genuine lego Gold chrome keychain, get other chromed parts from bricklink sellers, and waterslide decal. Quote
kingleonidas Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 its not that easy to find, i found 1 in about 20 boxes Quote
dr_teng Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 That would've made sense for something like Mr. Gold where they knew there was going to be a massive demand. Quote
dr_teng Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Sure, when you've got one rare item that people want and a bunch that people don't want, it was guaranteed to lower prices on the rest. Quote
BrickPick3r Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Next time if there is any series with special guy like Mr Gold, I'll wait to buy the series at the secondary market. No need to bother buying it at retail. Quote
realdane Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 So my Mr. Gold just sold on eBay for $710. I'm pretty happy with that price since I started him at $450 and others have gone for less recently. I am a little worried however. The buyer has 0 feedback, has Germany as his location but shipping address is in Norway. He hasn't paid yet but it's only been two hours since the auction closed. Should I be worried that he pays but then tries something fishy when he receives the item? Like saying it's fake, that it never arrived? Am I being paranoid? Anyone have any experience with 0 feedback buyers? I probably should have said on there that a buyer needed 10+ feedbacks or more. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 insurance, tracking, don't go cheap on packaging, contact buyer and ask ?'s. no matter what you'll be sweating it until it's all done Quote
TheOrcKing Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,824.Well, we are almost there to the second milestone. I doubt it will be reached before year's end though. Quote
BrickPick3r Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I wish Lego release it like the Azog. They could release it with a big gold castle. Everyone know Mr Gold and they will want to get one Quote
ZULU Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 hey guys, did you notice the sealed boxes going up in value on BL after the series 10 went EOL? How high will a sealed box of 60 go? Mr gold will get registered when lego decides to stop sopport the site & extra goodies maybe? Quote
lowillsw Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 So I just heard something from my old lady that makes me want to throw her and the pooch out the window. There is an upscale toy store for the hoyy toydy (d-bags put it more crudely) at the mall near her workplace. There were 3 boxes of 60 series 10 in that store nobody touched for months. She told me about a 25% coupon for any purchase in store that I did not take advantage of nor did I want to walk in there to smoosh for any CMF in there. She came home today with a roman commander for me and told me someone walked in last week and smooshed a Mr. Gold. The end. At least it was a father and son that found it instead of evil resellers like us. Guess the lesson of the story is, these Mr Golds are still lurking out in the wild for somebody to find. Quote
MartinP Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 The current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,824. Well, we are almost there to the second milestone. I doubt it will be reached before year's end though. One month later we are at 1,894. We are almost to the second milestone. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 The current count of Mr. Golds found and registered is 1,958.What did I say? The new year started and still we haven't reached the second milestone! :mda: Quote
nozomi1230 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hi! I saw fews Mr. Golden here in Hong Kong, around 10? Maybe. But only few of them tried to sell online for for hundreds (US). The market here is not big, and I saw people here to MOC their own Mr. Golden by doing electrolysis. Or even Mr. silver. Though, they are not going to sell, just for fun and collect. Quote
Ghost860 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 so will it be worth buying this minifig without the original paper of finding and registering mr gold? There are a lot of customized minifigs, should it be hard to tell if its a fake one? Because i've seen some pretty good customized figs Quote
