The Middleman Posted June 19, 2005 Hey all, I'm looking for one of those way oversize minifigures that are used in displays at stores. Something like: Anyone have one for sale, or else know where I can find one? Thanks, Bloody Jay :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 19, 2005 Well, found on Brickshelf, this person has 9 of these and 2 unopened ones...but he lives in Germany, so the shipping might be a bit high. Here's his contact email (found on Brickshelf): ogretzky99[@]aol[.]com (I put brackets so there wouldn't be any spamming...I wouldn't want to get into trouble. :| ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted June 19, 2005 How big are these oversized critters anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 19, 2005 They are about 19 inches tall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted June 19, 2005 That guy has an impressive collection! I doubt he's willing to sell them, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted June 19, 2005 I'm sure Orlego had a plan a while back to steal some from his store! ;) These are hard to come by, although this guy got lucky somehow. I asked at a store near me but they said they can't as the figs belong to TLC. You could try Bricklink or eBay, but they would be pretty expensive! Jon.

Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 19, 2005 Ahemm...I have an announcement to make...see here for e-bay selling of the large minifig. You won't like the price though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the price... dear god. No way. I could probably have a plastic modeler MAKE one for less than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 19, 2005 There is something similar to what you want, but is about half the size. They are called "Desk Pals" These oversized minifigures are about 8 inches high. Learn more about them here. On E-bay, the only version that seems to be available is the female minifigure. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkie Posted June 20, 2005 A while back I was talking with a LEGO employee. They have people who cruise eBay for these things, because they aren't allowed to sell them. Period. Someone mentioned they're property of TLC, and can't be sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
