Whoa you really are desperate? May I ask why you want one that bad?

Well, doubtful I will find him but I'll keep him in mind. I have little to no use for a Mr. Gold minifigure but a Taj Mahal is really super cool.

Re: I'll give you THIS if you give me Mr. Gold

Considering they're selling for over $600 I don't think your going to get anyone to make that trade; or even find anyone who has a Mr. Gold, for that matter; but best of luck to you. mini/smile

They are selling for over $600, but so is the set I'm offering.

Apparently people say the Mr Gold isn't worth it, with its cheap parts and poor quality chrome, and also the bare spots. The only reason people want it is because there is only 10,000 in the world.

Re: I'll give you THIS if you give me Mr. Gold

Can you be more specific on what Bare spots means?

Bare spots under the arms and between the legs where the coating didn't get to. It happens with any chrome-coated minifigures, such as my chrome Storm Trooper.

I feel like Charlie Bucket looking for a golden ticket.

Re: I'll give you THIS if you give me Mr. Gold

I think I have that guy lying around somewhere. A part of me, however, wants to believe that I'm thinking of the little guy on the golden statuette.

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

actualy they only made 5,000 worldwide

Re: I'll give you THIS if you give me Mr. Gold

I'll have to check for the bare spot on my chrome lego stormtrooper.  If it's natually on all chrome minis, and if I have to look for it, I don't see that as a problem.

Do you know what else I notice on all minifigures?  That paint on the front of their neck!  What's that about?  I've not known why since the late 70s!

I've come to believe that the paint on the neck is a quality assurance, because once the figure is used and the head is twisted enough, the paint begins to wear off.

The head, hands, under the legs and the stud holes. Also the arms would have bare non chromed spots.
