December 17, 20168 yr I know mixels aren't exactly a lego "set", however these are performing very good in UK. Might be the first set after RE to reach 3x RRP. In UK series 9 was only released at lego stores and online. Supposedly these were meant to be released outside of SAH but for some unknown reason the regular mixels sellers tesco / WHSMITH / argos etc did not receive the final series. Hence these are one of the few "rare" lego items released in 2016 that was available generally at SAH. Complete sets were selling for 3x RRP, but have now dropped to about 2.5 x RRP. These have been one of the few things I have been buying directly from lego recently, as they were one of the few things that were genuinely "Exclusive" to SAH. What's the future of series 9? Well in UK, if other stockist don't get series 9 then these will reach 5x RRP easily by next year. Yes mixels profit is not much compared to the big star wars UCS or modulars, but there easy to buy and are fast sellers. I hope some of you caught on to the trend and bought some sets, I was lucky and found out early these would be rare so manage to pick up a good number. Nowadays you need to diversify, I would never have bought mixels before as dont watch the show or would build them, but once realised the potential I loaded up.
January 2, 20178 yr Anyone else notice that target has been putting out cases of series 6 at just about every store. I have seen this at no less than 7 stores and they have 4-5 boxes of just this series.

Both Series 5 and 6 have been in ample supply at all the Targets in SoCal that I've been to recently.
January 19, 20178 yr What are people doing with their Mixels. I have around 500 left, mostly series 4 and 5's. Buy in was around 60%. I can’t decide to move them all now or sit on them for a while. They don’t take up much storage space and don’t need the capital for anything else, I just wonder if they will be forgotten about.

Series 5 has been a real disappointment, barely going for above RRP, but with a good buy in you can still work out well and like you said they don't take up much room.

If u have sets ide list then on the selling avenue u do and let them ride. If they sell , great. If not, they will someday.
February 5, 20178 yr Yep. Both Series 5 and 6 have been in ample supply at all the Targets in SoCal that I've been to recently.Are series 6 and 7 an arm sweep at rrp? I've seen them at a few targets around me too.
February 19, 20178 yr Mixels bossing it in the CAGR per theme list. Good gains by JW and Scooby too. Chima still losing people money. https://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/cagrbytheme.cfm
July 27, 20178 yr Waking up this thread for a quick question. I've come across a box of about 20 mixels, a mix of series 7 and 8, for £3 each. Anyone got an opinion? Can't see much profit in them at the moment

As long as you can buy them in complete sets of 3 by Tribe you should be fine.

July 28, 20178 yr Don't they retail for around £3.80 over there?This might be a better ques. for@Tabbyboy in terms of the UK market.
January 1, 20187 yr I've found boxes of series 1 Mixels at $AU5 per bag. I can buy now, but not in a position to sell until later in the year as will be traveling. Would you buy?
