Tomorrow? Isn't it supposed to be today?

Eh, I had expiring eBay bucks anyway....in for one sealed case, why not.

I am sorry for your loss, mushedroom. I have had a number of rescues between dogs and cats throughout my life, so I can understand very much how such can put your mind and heart through the ringer. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to put together that video and sorting through their bump codes. I was unable to reply to the PM you sent me yesterday due to a suddenly busy schedule. In any case, you could have posted the link in the Series 10 list since it is related to that Series or started a new thread like you did here. The result is pretty much the same but I thank you for being courteous by asking in the first place though.

Wow, I just checked my local target for series 10 minifigs, but what I found was the empty series 9 box, which they put megablocks in! How insulting *turns up nose, snobbily*

I feel the same way seeing how my Walmart just sticks the Mega Bloks right next to the Lego in the same aisle on the same shelves. At least with my Target they have two different aisles for the both of them to keep em' separated.

It also gets me going Walmart does the same thing with Mega Bloks Barbie and Lego Friends. Stick 'em right on top of each other.

How dare they! :-S

[mushedroom]

what should i do? sell it? keep it? hold on till christmas?

[gte206w]

I am going to take a wild guess that you found him in a toys r us after convincing the manager of the store to let you smoosh all of their unopened boxes :)

[Guest ph4tb0i]

congrats! I would say sell it now while the hype is still on!

nope, walked into target to buy some cotton balls for my girlfriend at closing time and they just put out a brand new case as i was looking for hot wheels and i went up to it and the 3rd one i pulled to "smoosh" on was this little guy!!!

woo hoo!

sell now?

sadly prices are acting strangely.

some are going for 500 whereas others are selling for 900

ugh

Gotta call BS on that one, there is no way to determine which minifig is in the blind bag by feeling. Lego said so!

[Mos_Eisley]

Nice pull! Where are you from? Just curious where this Mr. Gold was found.

[dryto]

IMHO, Charity auction.

Ha!

YOU'RE WRONG.

you just feel for the top hat duh!

and also there's another method to figuring out but since you're calling me a liar, you more than likely don't care to hear it so, no worries.

los angeles, ca

but i didn't register this one because if i sell it i want the buyer to have that right.

this sounds like an excellent idea, however, i recently had 2 kitties pass away and thieving vet bills have pummeled my finances.

if i find a 2nd mr. gold i will seriously consider a charity auction for sure.

Calm, peace. It was sarcasm. There is a thread on the forum where someone gave TLG feedback about how crappy the idea of Mr Gold was, because you could just pre-screen for him. Their response was not to worry about it, because it's impossible to know what minifig is in a bag before you buy it - which we all had a laugh at here. Sorry for the confusion.

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Good job on the find though, that is what I call a great deal of luck. It would be hard not to sell him knowing you can cash in so well at the same time how much of a collector are you?

oh i didn't see that thread or post.

the top hat is definitely the tell tale sign of any minifig being mr. gold in series 10

i remember the hat because i collected a ton of the mr. hyde figs from last series..."trained for top hat fingers"

lol

Dang man, you have been in the forums for a while now......you should have detected the sarcasm. Your sarcasm detector takes AAA batteries, might want to replace them ;)

[spener90]

That thing would be out the door so quickly. Easy $500-1000.

[JoshTX]

Do a buy it now for whatever you want for it and see if it sells. Otherwise sell it later.

the only thing that i actually collect on the lego front are the minifigs starting from series 7 to present.

i have tons of sets but those are for (hopefully) profit.

[stephen_rockefeller]

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I dont think this is an item that will see a spike in price during the holiday season. I love my son to death but if he asked for a Mr. Gold for Christmas, I would laugh in his face!! I might be willing to buy him a sealed case and tell him to take his chances lol
