I'm just upset I didn't buy more CMFs1 when I had the chance. Now that s2 is more widely available, people are starting to clamor for a full set of s1.

Do you use Brickforge to build those Armies? Not everyone knows about them, and there's plenty of purist who wouldn't.

None the less, while I wouldn't call product that only been in the market 2-3 weeks cluttering the shelves, yes the quick buck artists are not going to make their quick buck.

Meanwhile, I'll take a gamble and just tuck away some to sell in 2015. Even if they don't become valuable, I'll have 30 odd new figs to play with.

don't worry about asterios. he's constantly talking down the CMF series. he's been saying that about S1 about 2 months ago and how afols should wait until they become more available before buying them. well, you know what happened if you had followed his advise. :roll:

not sure which part of CA he lives in (east la maybe?) but folks on EB who are from his claimed neighborhood couldn't find S1 constantly despite going to the many shops he mentioned almost daily. and yet he claimed that he could constantly find the bags and they are ...as you guessed it... cluttering up the shelves.

i have been reselling lego sets for almost 5 years now and i have never seen anything move so quickly as the CMF series. most sets, even exclusive sets, sit on the shelves for weeks. these are gone in 2-3 days tops. from my experience, nothing sells easier than minifigures and these are priced cheaper than most minifigures. impulse sets = $3.99, magnet sets = $14.99 for 3 figures, keychain = $4.99, pick 3 minifigures = $10 for 3. only battlepacks are better value since they can go for a lot cheaper when on sale.
