Ciglione Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I think I will pass on these. I expect you can find them heavily discounted in a non-lego store at the end of the year. Let's say for 1 euro each. Then I will buy them all. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 It's almost the end of May and I only just now found Series 2 at a Walmart I rarely visit once in a good while plus my local Target also had a few in stock. I managed to acquire a complete set like the first wave so I'm certainly happy. Anywho, here is a Brickset review on the Flexers (orange Mixels). Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Here is a Brickset review for the Frosticons. Yeah, I thought the name sounded like we're suddenly talking about Transformers too. Whoops, almost forgot the last ones from the Fang Gang. Well I guess that's it for all the currently available Mixels. Until the next with Series 3, my friends. Quote
Leopard_7 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 So what's the verdict on these crazy creations? I for one think they're wacky enough by themselves, that with a seemingly short production run (seem to be series 1 going EOL now) and a gotta collect em' all vibe, I think these are honestly being overlooked. That's my two cents on the matter, going to pickup a couple of these see what happens, what do the rest of the community think? :) Quote

wholovesboo Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Well one thing you can say about these thingamabobbers is that you get some pretty unique parts. (Are those snake fangs??) Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Well one thing you can say about these thingamabobbers is that you get some pretty unique parts.Yep, and I should note that while the average of parts obtained with each character was around 40-50 for Series 1 & 2, this time Series 3 yields an average closer to 60-70 meaning even more bang for your buck. There also appears to be more ball socket joint pieces with Series 3 as well.(Are those snake fangs??)From the Ninjago snake spinners I think. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Brickset is having another build contest for these Mixels this time for Series 2. Shoot, I don't even remember the winner of the first one! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Well according to a source at the Brickworld Chicago 2014 event, it seems these Mixels will be around for the long haul going past this year's Series 3 which honestly shouldn't be too surprising. I wonder what other tribes they could come up with or possibly extend current ones? Either way, more unique parts on the way! YIPPY SKIPPY! via The Brick Fan & The Brick Show Quote
Ciglione Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 What is the general thought about these critters? Now the first wave is retiring soon? I have none of these and I am wondering if I need to buy some of the first wave. Although I have sworn myself not to buy cheap sets anymore except minifigs. Any projections/thoughts/advice? Quote

Any projections/thoughts/advice?I'm in the dark much as you are. I mean there really isn't anything to compare these to. I know there is value in the parts especially on a few of the characters and series but as a complete set? I'm just not sure. With that said, the joints are incredibly useful and some of the parts are unique. Quote

I have none of these and I am wondering if I need to buy some of the first wave. Although I have sworn myself not to buy cheap sets anymore except minifigs. Any projections/thoughts/advice? I agree with theorcking. I'm in the dark as well regarding these. I'd like to pick some up but I don't know if they are worth investing in. Personally, I'm not into these and don't think they're that great but that doesn't mean they won't be profitable and popular with the kids. I don't want to miss out but I also don't want to waste my money when I could purchase other sets from themes that usually have modest returns. Quote
Kriterian Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I've had a run of luck lately and found all but one figure from Series 1 in stores. I'm not sure if I should pay the eBay price ($12 - $20) to complete the set or wait and hope to find the missing one too. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 my local lego store still has plenty series 1. If you would like I could pick the missing ones up and trade Quote
Kriterian Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 my local lego store still has plenty series 1. If you would like I could pick the missing ones up and trade I don't have any extras for series 1, but I could give you two series 2 if you want. I'll have to wait til I get home to see which ones I have. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 SERIES 3 Glorp Corp Spikels Wiztastics 1 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Well I just found some of Series 3 stocked at Target. Unfortunately I only managed to acquire a complete set of the Wiztastics (purple dudes) at the moment while the Glorp Corp were all gone except for a couple of the big guy with snake fangs hanging out of his mouth like drool. They had some Spikels but not enough for a whole set. Oh well, maybe the next time. I'm in no rush really even if I am tempted to build all three series from the year at once and then merge them into one big friggin' Mixel. Heh. Quote
dubzero Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I'm pretty impressed by these guys. A great little build for $5! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Brickset is now starting their third competition to coincide with Series 3's release. Quote
BrickU Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Anyone have an opinion on whether or not these are a good investment? Series One Continues to hold steady, but are they going to go up? Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I don't know. As I keep selling, I'm seeing the prices go up. But I've got to think the peak is nearby. These aren't Modulars we're talking about. They are fun little packs, but these things can't go much higher. I have a feeling that $110 is about the cap. Maybe they creep up a little more. But I'm not seeing them sell much higher than $110. Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 $110 could be the cap but with Christmas coming up people will want these. It's already surprised everyone but if you look at this as a $45 set it isn't that unrealistic. Quote
dubzero Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Mixels are a horrible investment. Everyone should stop buying them. That way I can come and buy them all up. 2 Quote
dubzero Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 They will be worth some dough next year. The show is popular, there are 3 more series set for next year. I'm convinced. Quote
dubzero Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Oh, and they go EOL in 6 months from release. Quote
