I ordered a few of the blind bag series 3 for $2 each. Go to knex. com > shop. I saw a banner at the top announcing the discount on Mario items. Free shipping on $50 or more. There are two categories... Mario Kart and Super Mario. I didn't see an end date for the sale.Here's a direct link to the online shop for Mario items (both Super Mario and Mario Kart) http://www.knex.com/shop/401/Super-Mario/next/1
There are several 3 packs. One has a hammer bros, Fire Mario and the Mystery Figure is a Bomb Omb. Another is a Gold Mario and Fire Luigi and the Mystery Figure is a Gold Bullet Bill. My son bought one of each in the past and this is what each mystery figure was and I've seen others online get the same mystery figure. The 3 packs are normally about $12 and are on sale for $6.50. Thats just over $2 per figure
I think they've sold out of Blind Bags series 2 which had Dry Bones, Shy guy and some other fun figures.
Series 3 has some cool ones... Cheep Cheep (flying fish), Bullet Bill (regular black), Hammer Bros (also available in the 3 packs) and a reissue of Bowser and Diddy Kong. These are on sale for $2 each. I wish LEGO minifigures sold at this price.
In case you've haven't bought any of these before or had experience with them I'm including a link to my blog in which I occasionally review LEGO items and similar items. The link is to a post that I did on Knex Mario Series 2 (which I didn't see available for this particular sale). Here is the link that will take you to another site http://cavortblock.blogspot.com/2013/09 ... stery.html .
I'm hoping for the time (near future) to create a Mario scene using LEGO and Knex Mario figures
LEGO purist forgive me
