The sheriff's head is the one on the Harry Potter figure. 

 

I posted another thread about this lot before, but I think I am gonna make out quite well. I have about $50 in profit in listings without any of these. I think I have about another 20 or so here. Gonna hopefully get about 20 or so sold listings on my Ebay account and make 50% ROI. lol

I finally went through most of the huge lot Willy got for me a couple days ago. Have listed most of the important ones for a value of around $500 and still have around 200 figures that I need to figure out what the hell they are (mostly generic ones, knights, pirates and so on) Will be posting some of those in small batches and see if you guys can help!

Bring it!  :hyper: Out of curiosity, how big was this lot to start out with?

Around 260 figures and a whole lot of accesories

Hmmm. So I guess we will look through each small lot, find the ones that are easily IDed, then save the mis-matched ones to the end? Do you mind setting the figures up in rows or something like that one lot I IDed before? I think that makes it easier for people to express what they are talking about.

Sure, I will set them up that way. Not sure what's easier, small batches or just one huge image with all included.

I'm sure people wouldn't mind either (myself included). Do what is easier for you.

The purple magnifying glass is from a Harry Potter set but I can't think of which one. 4842 uses the black version but I know one of the sets uses a purple version.

it's from 4709 :)

Holy smokes---I ended up with a mixed from hell lot myself!  I bought a goodwill lot online because I saw the 3 headed dog, and we needed it to complete a used set we were putting together.  There was a ton of "other" guys all mixed in as well.  And when I say mixed--I mean mixed.  I don't know what pocesses people to mix things up this way.  What is the easiest way to identify these types of things--if you don't know where to start--the faces or the torso?  It had a bunch of old soccer players--but those seem to have no value.  I'll probably end up positng pictures and begging for help---but I'd like to figure out a couple by myself--if possible!  I don't even know the themes or years though!

We are always glad to help. I have the same problem. I am starting to sort and unmix all the minifigures that I have, and it is a long process.

I'm getting pretty good at it, and am happy to help too!  If you want to go it yourself for a bit, a combination of brickset and bricklink are great.  I don't mind the mixed up heads/torsos so much as when they feel the need to remove all the hands and leave them mixed in to the huge pile.

If you get stuck please post it here, I love hunting through bricklink and finding figures I know by heart. The wolves are hungry... :D

once the new DK book comes out in Sept end, it should help a lot, I hope.

I hope so but I'm doubtful. The previous minfigure book by DK (included in the Lego book package) wasn't by any means a complete catalog of minifigures, it just showed a couple from each theme.

Exactly. I have that book, and I never use it for reference when I am trying to find a minifigure. The best minifigure reference that I can think of is the Star Wars character encyclopedia. That had most of the minifigures from the Star Wars theme, but it did not show a lot of the minifigure variants.

Perhaps we can organize this better.....5 in a row, 3 rows? Numbered to 15 left to right, then down. Might make it easier to identify which we are talking about. My lot seems to be from early 2k as we identified some sponge bob...and the 3 headed potter dog from that era.

Thanks!

Edit....those pictures are horrible...I'll try again tomorrow....

8th one is the witch from fright nights, set 6087 is one of her sets.  10th torso is Dr. Charles lightening from the adventurers line, head on the 9th one is also from adventurers, Lord Sam Sinister...they're both in 7419.  Those are some seriously mixed up minifigures!
