Keep or Sell-Minifgure Series

Post by BobaFett2 » Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:26 am

Noting that the Collectable Figs are different colors than normal Minifigures (with yellow it is less noticeable, but with colors such as purple it's obvious), do you plan to keep them? I won't sell the Spartan, because that fig is simply beautiful, or the Space ones, but the rest? Seeing as Series 1 is already getting more expensive, I'd say it's time to save. Since I have no use for them. I can get the accessories on BL, and I have no need for display figs.

So what will you do? Keep or sell?

Keep/ Most of the color mismatches don't bother me much and only a few are too noticeable. If they don't match the bricks, why would I care? Since when our my minifigures clothes supposed to match the walls?

Besides, the minifigures vary too greatly for me to ever want to let any of them go. They fit so many roles in my lego community that I think it would just be empty without them.

What I'm really talking about is that the yellow isn't the same. The ordinary minifigure heads/bodies don't match with the CMF ones.

Really? That would be news to me. I thought mine seemed pretty spot on.

It's similar. Not the same.

I'm going to keep them for characters to use in any vignettes that I may build.

See my review of the series 1 for more info I spose.

I would never sell mine. I paid a pretty penny for the figures since I never once found them in store and they were pretty much my big LEGO purchase of the summer. I have since used them all over the place in creations and scenes. I could never get rid of them.

Going to keep mine, I love all the different types. Also, I am don't really care about any color differences, I barely notice now and didn't notice at all until I read it here.

I'd say keep them. You never know when a part is going to come in handy.
