Keep in mind that even though some figures are cheaper in lots, parts might be damaged, loose or missing if it is a less experienced seller

Lots can be helpful, but you need to know what you’re getting and (as you mentioned) the condition of what you’re getting.

For smaller collections or people that have A LOT of free space on their walls, I feel that cases are better since they shield the dust from the figures. I keep my collection in cases and I don't have dust problems. Dust acuumulates on the case instead of the minifigures and the case is extremely easy to dust rather than air spraying each figure individually.

@wraithe420 Жыл бұрын

I agree totally on this but it has become pretty difficult to find 8 spot mini figure cases or even 12 spot ones the official cases made by lego are almost as costly as the figures you put in them lol just being honest

@VampguyN85 3 ай бұрын

They are expensive. But I'm leaning towards wall mounted cases becsuse of my dusmite allergy.

I think it's also really important to consider buying local Lego lots from people as well. I have made my best purchases of all time on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist and local places like that from people just trying to clear things out of their house who aren't tech savvy enough to make an ebay account or just don't want to mess with it.

The upcoming Dr. Fate in DC's Black Adam Lego sets will be my favorite Lego minifigure. I'm more of a DC fan, and a minifigure of Dr. Fate has been long needed. There's no confirmation yet, but I'm sure he'll be in one of the Black Adam sets; I'm just so excited and can't wait for the movie to come out. Besides that, my favorite minifigures are Martian Manhunter New 52 and Katana.

By the way, there was a lego store I recently visited, and they had the polybag figure for $99, unlike some sites that sell it for $130-$140. If you didn't have it, would you pay $99 for it?
