robuko Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 On another note, I accidentally opened a Series 10 (I got tired of feeling them for Mr. Gold a long time ago, and really just grab 5 at random whenever I see them) and it was Mr. Gold. Has anyone else found one? What would you do with a semi-opened Mr. Gold (I have not opened the little plastic bag yet)? I am tempted to MOC with him, but someone said these things are stupid expensive. I can think of a lot of fun stuff to do with those gold parts though in Kaliphlin MOCs. Wow! Good for you!
Kai NRG Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Congrats, that's amazing! I'd sell it, though I might use it in the mean time. Like str0ngbad said, there's just too many fun things to do with $500... though Bricklink would probably be a better place to sell than ebay.

I would totally sell it as I'm not a fan of chrome LEGO.
TheLegoDr Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I also would suggest selling. I personally thought the figure looked cool until I saw it in chrome gold. Then I instantly fell out of love with him. I also agree that the money that you could make from it would be great for other MOCs or (things unrelated to LEGO, as if). But for what my time is worth, I didn't see the point in feeling all of those packets for one.

The ultimate proof that the Kaliphlin are the greatest at obtaining precious metals. Even by accident. He's yours, do what you will with him.
SkaForHire Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah I have no idea what to do with it. Sadly, I had not really paid much attention to the Mr. Gold hype, figuring I would never get one. But thinking about how there are only 5000, it is really neat that I got him totally by surprise. I guess I have time to think about it though. He almost became a statue on my Tour of Kaliphlin MOC though...
Nightstalker Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 That was quite the celebration! Now it's time to get back to work! Link: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83652
PenPlays Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Another build taking place in your capital city! Petrean Market
Maxim I Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Cool, we are on a roll!! Even Avalonians have the urge to build in our Guild @Dragonfire: great choice!! @Ska: I also would advice you (if you are going to sell it) to sell through Bricklink and not with Ebay Edited June 18, 2013 by Damaximus
Mattiusxavier Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 @DM towards SKA - I completely agree BL is a way better choice than Ebay...friggen ebay and those dang fees. @Kai - that is one awesome build! :)
SkaForHire Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I think I have some time to sit on it and think. I have never sold on Bricklink before, I will look into that. I know ebay's fees are ridiculous now. Kai, way to keep the builds coming strong!
Str0ngbad Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Ska, If you decide to sell you could post in the buy sell trade forum here and maybe avoid BL's seller fees too. Guys, I love this tourism theme stuff. The builds are all beautiful. I promise I'll get to the individual threads when I'm on my computer.
kabel Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 at least all the great tourism builds sparked a new mocing fever in me, you'll see!

-Carson Haupt- Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I just realized that the tourism builds aren't all by the same person...

Ecclesiastes Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah I have no idea what to do with it. Sadly, I had not really paid much attention to the Mr. Gold hype, figuring I would never get one. But thinking about how there are only 5000, it is really neat that I got him totally by surprise. I guess I have time to think about it though. He almost became a statue on my Tour of Kaliphlin MOC though... That is so cool! I think you're the first one on eurobricks. And don't sell it(unless you really, really, really, really need money) it is such a great thing to find. I would go nuts if I would find one to complete my collection. And about that, I think Lego should have added more, like a mr gold in 1 of fives boxes. Because prices are going sky high, which should not be possible for a child's toy. Think of all the children who want their collection to be complete.(and me ) Well enough about my mr gold frustration. A grand effort on collaborating guys, great idea and well executed. Great to see the Kaliplhin strength combined.

Great to see the Kaliplhin strength combined. I went to one of the Lego stores here in the Dallas area, and they said they had at least 7 Mr. Golds in their store already. (I got mine from a Toys R Us) That means there were at least 8 Mr. Golds in North Texas alone!!! It seems disproportionate. I kind of owe it to my fiance to sell it if she wants, she has been so patient with my Lego hobby, and we could pay for a honeymoon with that money... but I really want to keep it.
Nightstalker Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Quick question, is there any chance we can get an updated map on the first page? It is usually much different from the original post. Just asking...
SkaForHire Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The smaller maps usually are more detailed. You can find all of NM's collected here.
