Controversial gold LEGO figure is $1,000 windfall

minifigs, Mr. Gold is gold-chromed from top hat to toes -- except for his
classy white gloves.

“And I’m struggling to believe that the LEGO company actually set out with
the intention of lining the pockets of eBay scalpers. Which does beg the
question of exactly what they’re trying to achieve by doing this...is it just
good, old-fashioned greed and a desire to milk the Collectible Minifigure
cash-cow for all it’s worth?”

“I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I’ll certainly be buying less of their
product in the future.”
