how much are you willing to spend on a set of 16 series 11 minifigure ?

*Serious reply*
Toys R Us and Brickboys are selling minifigures at RM12.90 per pack. Of course we wouldn't always get the complete set and will not be able to open up the packaging to see what's inside. However if we take it that luck is on our side, a full set would be RM12.90 * 16 = RM 206.40. If you were to import a box of 60, you usually can get it around RM500-650 I believe.

Local resellers (ie, sellers here in LYN) usually sells within the range of RM180 - RM220 for a full set of 16 minifigures for newer series. However for those individual minifigs for any series, the price will differ based on the current market value. They may be higher or lower depending on the rarity of the minifigure in a box of 60. At the same time, it's also affected by the after market price. So you may sometimes end up having to pay more than RM12.90 for a minifigure because the after market price increases due to again, rarity.

As a summary, for any new series of minifigure, it would be reasonable if you sell a complete set within the range of RM180 - RM220 depending on your cost. Loose minifigs from the box of 60 can then be sold at a different price depending on the market rate. For example, Yeti sold at a lower price because if has 6 of them in a box of 60 while Island Warrior is sold at a higher price because it only has 2 in a box of 60.

maybe his one is chromed silver, hence the premium. Or maybe justin bieber touched it b4?

TQ for all the info provided

Its depend on the individual interest. Some completionist will go beyond the limit to complete their collection, while some of people just targetting certain minifig only due to budget limitation. U should study more on Lego investment before starting serious on it. You can go to brickpicker.com for more info. However realize that Malaysian doesn't hv a strong buying capabilities like US or EU. So better learn and research thoroughly before investing your money on it.

Most of us here are collector and some do reselling just to cover the high cost of the hobby. Not many keep a lot of stock, and if they do it will probably the set that they really want and didn't mind to keep it.

Keep stock can die lor. Haha

Nice haul !
