Need Spartans

[destroyer4147]

I have

Series 7 Evil Knight (SEALED)

Series 8 Conquistador (SEALED)


I need

Series 2 Spartan (preferrably sealed)

Please send me a PM

Darn! nobody is replying. Let me ask a different question:

Is there ANYTHING that anyone would like from Series 8 that they'd be willing to trade their sealed Spartan for?

OR

Would anyone be willing to trade a sealed Spartan for BOTH an Evil Knight AND a Conquistador?

Spartans are probably the most sought-after CM figure in the line. They still hold an incredibly high resale value. I honestly think you're going to need to peddle A LOT more than 2 figures for 1 Spartan.

Trust me it's frustrating. My hunt for Romans has come to a schreeching halt, just because I can't justify spending $10.00 per minifigure and there's not much people want to trade for them.

so why the heck didn't people vote for spartans when lego was sending out that survey to release a CM 3 pack?

How did the freakin' elf beat the spartan out???

Not sure exactly which survey you mean, there are so many. But I'm sure Lego wouldn't release exactly the same the fig in another series. Spartans were already out. Elves were not.

It looks like you should expect to pay between 10 and 15 USD for them in any significant quantity on Bricklink (there are a few cheaper but not many). I would be surprised if you found any for much cheaper than that in a trade from anyone.

For instance, I have a handful of Spartans and there is no sane amount of series 8 figs I would trade take in trade. Now if you were talking about trading a few elves for a spartan...that would be another story.

Definitely agree with this. I've got 31 Spartans- and you could send me cases of CM8 and I'd refuse. Although, start throwing Romans at me and we'll talk.

It's pretty much like Josh and Rory have said: You're trying to offer what is very available and easily accessible for something that is not. Very much not.

I have many Spartans (a few I'm willing to give up as mentioned in my needs-to-be-updated trade thread), but none for Series 8 minifigures. And, I would think that is the case with many people who have viewed your offer, which is why there weren't many replies.

Okay, how about a spartan for a Hobbit sealed Mirkwood Elf polybag?
