Hey you! Yes, you! Are you itching to spend over a thousand dollars on a couple pieces of plastic?

Well, thanks to our good friends at LEGO, a special minifigure has been included in Series 10 of the ever-popular LEGO Minifigures blind bags. And unless you've been living under a rock in the LEGO community lately, you'll know that only 5,000 of them exist.

In the whole world.

Yeah.

So, what are the aftermarket prices for these things like?

About $1,300 US.

But nobody would actually buy one for that price, right? I mean, that would be totally ridic-

Oh.

Update: Both lots have now sold. Some people really are desperate for shiny things.

Wow... I can't even find the money to buy the 800+ pieces I need to make a halo ring from LDD I made. 1,300 USD for 1 minifig...

Definitely not worth it, but that likely isn't only my opinion. Imagine the size of the pile of LEGO bricks you can get for that price! O_O

What if you are a living rock? Does that count as living under a rock?

That is just insane. Gold LEGO, IMO, has never looked too good. It shows a lot of... marks. Why someone would send this kind of money is beyond me. Can you imagine how many pants iJunk ponies sets you can buy with $1300? I could have gotten a 15lb Deskop Replacement for that, or built my own monster of a tower.

It's because of the rarity, not because of the material.

I bet the red ghost shroud and darth vader helmet pieces are crying right now

So, $1,300 for this minifigure, rare as heck (well, 5000 copies around the world). In contrary, I found the LEGO Town Airport Shuttle Monorail for just (yes, I said 'just') $395, sealed in box! And I take it that the latter is even rarer (maybe around 10 MISB copies). Then again, the monorail is not a fad (as the minifigure apparently is...) and not very recent, and that might be why it is not as expensive as (I) expected.

 

Now, which would you choose? (<-- rhetorical question)
