TheOrcKing Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not trying to get off-topic, but I feel that with each series it has been becoming progressively easier to 'smoosh' the 'mystery' bags and tell what character is in it at the store. I have a complete Series 8 and bought just about all the 'extras' I want from that series because of how unique they have been getting. I've just created a printout for myself that will help me to find what pieces to 'feel' for in Series 9. So, does anyone else think each series of MINIFIGURES have been getting easier to tell from feel, or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have been trying the "feel" method lately and I suck at it. Anyway, does anyone have any Collectable minifigs they want to swap? Still looking for a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 So where is the best place to buy boxes of minifigs? I plan on picking up a box of series 9 when they come out and was hoping for a good deal on a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on picking up a box of series 9 when they come out and was hoping for a good deal on a box. I've been wondering that myself (since Series 6, I think). Where the heck can you buy the retailer's boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 So no one has extra minifigs? I really need most of series 1 and the Hockey Player from Series 4. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need all of Series 1 myself, and have only one "Hockey Player" so I'm not much help here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you are useless I am down to around 22 to complete all the sets. Ended up buying a complete series 3 for $47. I have accumulated a bunch of extras too. Only need 9 more for series 1. Got the big one out of the way though (zombie). I am going to have to edit my have and want list. Did you post your want list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I might be able to help you with some of them. Did you have any duplicates? Anyone try the minifig swapping sites? I think there is 2 of them "swap minifig series" and another with a similar name. I tried to sign up on the swap minifig series site but never got an email. I even tried contacted the site directly. No dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dice. Here's one that I think you were talking about. Swap Minifigure Series I saw another with a similiar name (minifigureswap.com) but each one of my anti-virus programs is giving me bad signs. Now I do have quite a few duplicates but, depending on which one it is, each one I bought for the reason of a MOC or another. I need to go through my list and see which ones I wouldn't mind parting with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think I am just 10 away for a complete 1-8 set. Of course I just bought a bunch of series 1 and 2 from someone and they sent me a Forestman instead of the Tribal Hunter. I included in my paypal message the complete list of all the figures we agreed on. After a longer then it should have been discussion, he said he would send me the figure. I hope he comes through. If he doesn't come through, would paypal help me get a partial refund? Or would they make me ship everything back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Was this an ebay auction? Due to the fact that you included the list of figs in the paypal transaction, you should be good for a partial refund if the guy doesn't come through. He could also just say send them back for a full refund, and you'd be out the shipping too. Paypal/Ebay rarely see it the sellers way unless the buyer is just plain being an ass, which I have dealt with before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nope, wasn't an ebay auction. Some guy off of craigslist. Be communicated through text. Said he would try to get it out today. On a side note. Does anyone need any series 8 Santas. For some reason when I blind buy series 8 packs, I always end up with at least one. I am up to 7 now.

halamalagarli Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm sorry, but I don't have swaps of any of the series. When I first started collecting I had loads, but now I am a seasoned bag-groper and so I rarely end up with ones I don't want Add to that the fact that my local shop lets me swap them for others, I don't really end up with many swaps at all. The only ones I need are from series 1,2,3 and mainly series 2. I'm interetsed in this Elrond figure, I reckon that here in the UK it might be in the Sun's polybag give away that is due around feb/march. I'll keep my eyes peeled for those that you guys need, sometimes old swaps turn up in the local shop. I have about 9 of series 9 so far, some of them are great, the cyclops is brilliant. I'll pick the rest up soon. I did manage to get a complete set of the GB olympic figs, still sealed (I have an open set for myself) but I'm going to try to hang onto them until 2016 and see if they are worth more when the Rio Olympics come around (maybe Lego will release a set of Rio ones too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel weird groping the packages. I was thinking of getting a set of teamGB to complete my minifig set. Might just try to trade for a couple of them. The cylcops figure is definitely one of my favorite minifigs. I love the Greek Mythology figs. I completed my first trade from another site. I am down to 8 figs to complete all series 1-9 (excluding teamGB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Anyone a member of any of the minifig trading sites. I joined miniaturetrading.com. I liked the site when I had a free premiere membership but that only lasts for a couple of weeks. Without the perks of the premiere membership, I really do not like the site as much.
