Where is mr gold

Gold all assembled and looking g-l-o-r-i-o-u-sly shiny. At the site, you can either enter the VIP code that grants you access to the Gold Lounge, or look at a world map detailing where all the Mr. Golds have been unearthed from around the world.

In the VIP area, you get the option to print out this extremely cheesy certificate from Mr. Gold to hang up in your study next to your degree or wedding pictures. I guess kids would enjoy this as kids LOVE getting certificates. Gold is in the grand scheme of things. Which leads me to my point.

A LOT of Mr. Golds are being snapped up by adult Lego collectors, who are aware of his rarity and financial value. Searching boxes and boxes of Series 10 minifigures in stores, while little Jimmy who comes in with his mum and is maybe allowed to buy one or two minifigs has close to a zero percent chance of being surprised by a Mr.

Gold when he gets home and opens his minifig bags. Gold completely random. They managed to insert in unique codes on the character sheets. You get the code, yell for joy at how lucky you are, go to the website and Mr. Gold would be shipped to you anywhere in the world. Gold was completely out my control, and no effort on my part would bring me any closer to him.

Well, hope you enjoyed my extensive writeup on Mr. I also acquired the entire lineup from Series 10, and hope to have a review up in the next couple of days. Your email address will not be published.

This is a really good option for when the kid found out about Mr Gold and desperately wanted one to call his own, since all you AFOLs snapped them up! Blame LEGO for limiting these by so much. I am aware that some folk might be in possession of one and not even know its value and have logged it into the system with the code. I definitely think that there are dozens that kids or young families have found that are just sitting in a toybox somewhere, as well as Mr Golds still hidden in sealed boxes.

I imagine that there are still some unopened Mr Golds in some old toyshops or warehouses somewhere. Still hoping to find one! Yeah, definitely. In 5 years time, haha. Yeah, one of the ones for sale on eBay right now was discovered this year by a dad and his daughter in a sealed case stuffed in their closet. Dad bought it with her money and then left it in a closet while Daughter went off to do domsething exciting.

Years later , they found it when spring-cleaning, opened up all the packets, and 58 was Mr. Most Mr Golds that are on the market are confined within the inner plastic bag, and that always makes me a little sad. Could you please give me your Mr. Thank you. Atta boy. You keep that shiny man, you let them know you found him. I was too late into LEGO itself. Sue me.

You remember that story. Haha, so much has changed in the span of two years. Hey have you heard of Listia? Firstly, congratulations on finding Mr. Secondly, totally agree that there should be nothing wrong with feeling up these mystery bags. Plus, it takes time to find each minifigure so kudos to any one who can be bothered.

Just want to also say great blog and keep up the good work! Thank you! I find it especially irritating when some stores hide their minifigs in cases or behind glass cabinets but luckily these are few and far between. That being said, there is nothing stopping someone from buying all of one type of set from the shelf. Oh well. These things happen. Could be worse, right???? Blind boxes always need to just that: boxes. They also need to be weighted so all figures in a series weigh the same, at the very least, without the use of very precise scales, and so the margin of error is too great to be sure.

It appears that Lego has removed the site and replaced it with the Simpsons. They also removed the ability to track the Mr. Gold figures that have been found and the ability to register your figure if you did not already. I had saved and old Diploma, so I was OK, but I thought what about all of the other people that have not registered theirs yet.

Also, I always liked looking to see how many people were registered and seeing how many of these have been found. I decided to take all the inforamtion that I saved the last time I went to the site and recreate the Interactive Mr Gold map and keep a registry here. Please see above an interactive recreation of the map before Lego pulled it down. I will continue to update as people let me know about more of these. Please click on the gold bubble to see the images for the figures found in that country.

I just have one now, but more will come. I had saved all of the data from last year and I decided to create a map of what has been found so far so that we all have a reference. Additionally, it you send me an email to shawn minifigpriceguide. This will serve as a dated history in case you ever want to prove when you obtained this figure and you are trying to sell it.

You may also contact me through this page as well. I will then add this to this page. This page is also directly clickable from the map. As we get a few more of these, I will break this page up by country. Finally, if you need it, here is a Diploma that you can fill out and add your name to hang on the wall. Here is a wonderfull article about how the registration proecess worked before Lego pulled down the site.

The registration no longer works, so do not bother trying. However, the article did a nice job of showing how it did work. Hey, I just saw this over on PromoBricks. A new Duplo PrompBrick.

You might, as I do, wonder how this happened? To this day I have no idea. Not right now, anyway. Gold should the seller read this! Do you have a similar story?

Where Is Mr. PayPal Pen Pals In April , two years after Series 10 was released, I was browsing the Brickset database and came across that elusive golden guy again.
