I picked up 3 Lego figures I saw while out and about a few days ago, but some of them were mismatched and not complete, so that was a bit of a disappointment.
While out and about, I decided to pick up a few more when I saw them. €1 each isn't too bad, especially considering the price that some figures can go for. But, I kind of got duped again.
These 3 jumped out at me because of the accessories, but when I got them home and used Google Lens, I realised that they're not complete either.
Some have different heads, hands, legs, and torsos, so that's a bit of a shame.
Each of these are also mismatched as far as I know.
They do look fairly cool, and I'm not really sure what to do with them. I considered potentially breaking them all down and just selling them as a bundle because people might be looking for specific pieces or something.
Here are the last two I got in this bundle.
I decided to just spend €8 on them, since I bought some stuff anyway brought the price to €12, and figured I would bring it up to an even €20.
My issue is, that I don't really know what I'm looking for when buying, so I think I need to take a bit more time, rather than going in blind.
If they were Star Wars characters, I would have a much better chance of buying complete figures, but some of these random ones that I don't have a clue about would be much harder.
I could just keep going and maybe by random luck I could complete a few figures eventually, but that would be a major hassle, and probably not worth it.
Here are all the accessories matched to particular figures.
One large job lot of stuff might be the best way of doing this, but at that, I would probably just break even.
It's not too bad, and maybe I should just try and pick up more random ones until the time comes that I think I have enough to complete, or sell as an impressive bundle.
I've seen particularly rare, or sought-after figures going for €40+ which, would essentially pay for them all, duds included. Is it worth holding on to hope for something like that to happen? Probably not, so maybe trying to be more conscious in future is my best bet.
