Mini figures of Welsh legends start appearing on eBay

Hundreds of shoppers had been queuing before 10am to get their hands on one.

A seller from Cardiff has started selling the custom mini figures at auction, a day after they sold out at St David’s Shopping Centre.

The limited-edition Lego figures were designed to celebrate St David’s Day and were put on sale yesterday with a minimum donation of £5. The collection was designed to benefit Welsh charities.

However, they have since started to appear at auction for almost twenty times that amount with a starting bid of £99.99.

Fifty of each mini figure were created and were available to purchase. After selling out in record time yesterday, you now only purchase these on the secondary market.
