I've been seeing a lot of these 'shirtless' Darth Maul mini figures from the 2012 Toy Fair in New York City on EBAY lately:

'Shirtless' Darth Maul Mini Figure

They have been consistently selling for $200+ on EBAY. My issue is not the mini figure(which is very cool IMO), it's the sellers who are saying that this is a "1 OF 125" set. There are no markings on the package like other LEGO Limited Edition perks from the Toy Fair or San Diego Comic Con. There could be hundreds of these sets, if not more. $200+ for a single mini figure is a bit overpriced for a set that has no proof of its exclusivity. Just my 2 cents...

I agree. I was going to but one when they were $150. Darn. $200+ for a minifigure that might not even be special? Maybe waiting is a good idea.

These Comic Con and Toy Fair giveaways are only valuable to the people getting them. How much more can these little polybags go up? They are not marked. I'd rather buy a Town Hall and wait for that to go up. At least you have a set with 2500+ pieces, not just a single minifig.

I concur. I wish I knew how to get into the Toy Fair. I guess you have to be some sort of distributor. Lucky devils!

As for the Darth Maul minifig, looks to be more are being released. Some are selling for less than $100 now. Those idiots who bought at $200+ should be ashamed of themselves.

I rolled the dice as they say and bought one for $104 on EBAY. Only time will tell if that was a good move or not. LOL

Then again, if there is another Toy Fair somewhere and they give these same figures away again, they might be worth $10. ;-)

I saw some Buy it Nows for $130-$150. I saw one or two sold for a little over $100.

I hear they are going to be giving them away a Legoland Windsor if you spend a certain amount of money. There goes the secondary market.

Those of you who bought them for over a hundred should be shooting yourselves in the foot by now. The market was flooded with about 10000 units in June for about 10 bucks a set. Then again, I'm sure the savvy ones would have bout up 200 units to even out the initial loss ;p

This is a really old topic so I am sure everyone already knows but this minifig is under 20 bucks now on eBay. What really pisses me off is that people were miss representing this when it came out, although it is hard to feel too sorry for people who bought one because there are no markings on the bag saying limited edition. Still though people who made out like bandits should be ashamed of themselves.

Sir, ebay is like modern day Tortuga. Owned by thieves, run by thieves, for the thieves market. (lol)

You got that right......I could start a whole new topic about how eBay sucks!!
