Didn't think it was possible. Found a Mr. Gold!

Post by taskmasta » Sun Jul 28, 2013 8:51 pm

Took the kids to Toys R Us yesterday for the Chima event they were having. Saw a box of series 10 sitting on a shelf and decided to feel through them even though they looked like they have already been fondled. At around the tenth bag I felt parts I have never felt before. With a big smile on my face I ran over to my Girlfriend and said "I think I found him". Let her feel the bag and she agreed. Found number 3717!

Nice! I've long since given up hope finding one but my son still insists that we "feel" for one anytime we see a display.

Guess I'm just an above average fondler. Hahaha. :-D

Congrats, I too have given up. I cringe when I see the gold packs and can't bear to feel anymore!

Congrats. I, in a weird way, am glad not to have gotten Mr. Gold. I insisted on having at least one of each CMF, but his existence made it feel fruitless and I no longer have the habit.

Have at least one of everything series 1 through 9 though.
