Ed Mack's Edit: In addition to the Mr. Gold value discussion, John and Dave from BRICKS AND MINIFIGS posted a picture of the "dot codes" from a Mr. Gold they have in their possession. Maybe it will help you find another one.

update to Mr. Gold count

So yesterday, when I got to Target and there was not series 10 on the shelves I lost all my interesting in smooshing CMF for the first time. I still want to at least try once and get a Mr.Gold, so I am considering ordering one of these sealed boxes. The issue is, I will be opening the box and smooshing them to check. If, as probability suggests, I don't get a Mr.Gold, do you think is there any way I can get most of my money back, and I don't mean trying to return it, but maybe selling the figures individual, the whole box as "No Mr.Gold included" or something around those lines.

Thanks for your help.

Jump on it soon if you are going to do it. I noticed the seller who previously had them at 169.99 per box has raised his prices by 10 bucks. Don't snooze and come back to find out they are going for 250 a pop. I only bought 2 at 169.99 and already regret it, I might buy 1 or 2 more at 179.99.

That's nice that they are donating the profits to charity. Good for them.

I named my daughter Charity. Now I can have auctions where 100% of the money goes to Charity. :)

Wow. I never could have saw that one coming. Not by a mile away.

Well, on the off chance that is her name, it is a nice one and I'm sure it suits her well. :)

This is awesome, I doubt I would have done something like it

Wow, this is great for them to do something like this. ;)

I'm just kidding. That would be like naming her chastity and then she moves to Vegas to be a call girl.

I imagine things like this draws positive attention to their website and what they do, but I agree, I doubt I would have done something like it also.

I bought one of those on a gamble.....when in the heck are we going to get it shipped?

Hi,

Our supplier has just shipped all boxes out as of 4/30/13. It is estimated that they will arrive in the next 7-10 days. At that time we will be labeling all of the boxes and shipping them out within 24 hours! They will be priority #1 from the moment they arrive here!

Thank you all for ordering, and feel free to ask if you have any questions at all!

Welcome. Lots of demand for Series 10, and I am just watching from the sidelines. :)

Fair enough, works for me. Thanks

Who and where is your supplier?

Thank you all! Great site!

Who and where is your supplier?

I knew that question was coming next... Well you were free to ask. Answering is another matter. We have many different suppliers and not all of them are able to get stock of the same thing at the same time.

The suppliers all buy directly from LEGO, so all product quality and ratios are guaranteed as they have never been on the market and the LEGO shipping boxes have also never been opened. We were able to order 300 boxes this time that will be arriving soon, and another 100-200 will arrive in a few weeks. FYI, there are only about 30 left for the first shipment.

Good grief, the count of Mr Golds found is all the way up to 90 already!

I wonder if by the end of next week it will be closer to 200. Sheesh.

Have any of you guys found mr gold yet, any tips to finding him?

At least 2 people here have found him. It's been discussed quite a bit so just read though the posts.

ok thanks , im new here

No worries. I'm not trying to be rude about it, I'm just suggesting that you use the search function and/or read through the existing threads that already answer the question.

ok

ok

lol, i think when we all get our minifigs+ boxes we ordered they'll be about 20 of us

You will never find all the Mr. Golds...NEVER!!! :ahhh:

You will never find all the Mr. Golds...NEVER!!! :ahhh:

Speaking of that, on Saturday, I was at the Lego store for 2 and a half hours feeling for Mr. Gold. No luck. I kind of lost hope after that, because I felt through all of them that they had out in the bins out front, and they refilled it with at least 3 other sealed boxes and I was the first person to feel them. %-P

You will never find all the Mr. Golds...NEVER!!! :ahhh:For investors, we'll hope so. Chances are not everyone will claim theirs either.

Well the count in just four days has already bumped up to 162 found!

It seems like it could be 200 before the end of this week.

Waiting in anticipation on that 1 box I got. Did you notice someone bought 8 of those? Daaaaaang!

Went to my local TRU again today as I called and they said they had some in stock. Go in, and find a ravaged box with about 8 figures left, nothing I wanted. Asked an employee about getting a sealed case. He goes back, and comes out with one opened, and says, "there should be 60 in here". I say " I want a sealed one", and he basically says no luck. It was obvious looking at it that the employees had gone though it, and after smooshing it myself, found 0 Medusas, 0 Sea Captains, basically, just a bunch of Mechanics and Painters. I was so annoyed I didn't buy any after having about 15 set aside to purchase. Really shady crap going on there, and sounds like it goes on everywhere. We have no chance of finding these in stores.
