How do you get a Mimic exactly?

[Deep Purple Crystal]

So, I have decided to increase my G1 collection, but I really feel I must have a Mimic. How exactly does a person get a Mimic here? What is the bidding strategy or price I need to pay to get her? I hope someone can help me with this here and resolve it.

Mimic is popular but not really THAT uncommon.  Her current price seems to be anywhere from $60-100 depending on condition.  The best way to get one is to be patient.  I prefer to buy from Arena members and not mess with all the bidding nonsense.  You might be able to snag one that someone is selling for a set price because it has some flaws.  If you aren't going for super mint, keep your peepers peeled here on the Arena and you can probably find one within a year. 

I've been collecting for 20 years so I'm all about slow and steady!

I found her at a flea-market!  She was a whopping $2

With patience. She does pop up quite frequently here on the arena sales too, so keep your eyes open!

[Leave a Whisper]

You have to sell your soul, a couple of limbs and maybe an internal organ or two that you could hopefully live without. Just kidding! :p


She's pretty expensive, if you've got the dough you can wait till you find one, or if you wanna go a cheaper route you could customize/get someone else to customize one for you.

  That person really had no idea of the treasure they were selling!

Ebay Patience and a willingness to drop around the $90 mark and she will be all yours! Have fun on the search and good luck tracking her down.

Patience and $$.  I bought mine here and the lovely lady I bought her from did payments.  After the last payment, Mimic came home and my daughter fainted.  (pretend)

I found my Mimic in a large lot of ponies several years ago, she was hiding and could barely be seen

Sadly she's got a mohawk a symbol rub and mold, but oh well.

^ This is how I bought mine, and in the end only paid $13 for her. She has a scratch on her DS symbol, and her pink has faded, but she's still lovely.

Best of luck!

If you put in your signature that you are looking to buy a Mimic, someone who has her for sale will probably eventually contact you. People PM me every once in a while about my wishlist.

Follow a search on eBay involving Mimic
Except I don't do auctions/ bids. I'm a BIN person 
That's all I've been getting lately was dumb auctions ever since I've started following the search, either that or obnoxiously priced BINs 6_9
Until 1 night at 2:19 am (CST) ,I was awake when I got an email from eBay stating a Mimic has popped up for $119 BIN...my jaw dropped because that was in my price range, but the problem was I had already spent my money on other things I was ticked off  I couldn't ask my boyfriend because he was sleeping ,so I turned to ANOTHER person who was awake during the same time I was....my German penpal  I explained to him that this was one of my grail ponies and how annoyed I was that I couldn't get her MYSELF, so I asked him to buy her for me and he did  (heck he saved up enough money to come visit me, so why not? )

And now I have her I still find pretty cool that my friend is willing to spend that much money on me  and for a pony for that facg X_X

Mimic is kinda high right now and has been going for insane amounts. I'm also on the look out for a Mimic (she's the last te I need). I say just be patient. She pops up quite often but is also sought after so that drives prices up as well.

[mlp4me]

Yup like everyone else has said. She's the last of this set for me as well. I'm going with a someday I will find her (in maybe 5 years...).
