About Us

Hi, I'm James.

Secondhand Post is a one-person shop in Chicago for collectors of high-end custom minifigures. I've been collecting and trading customs for years, and I started this store because finding rare figures from studios like Citizen Brick, Jin Customs, Crosscheck, and Baggles usually meant hunting across forums, Instagram DMs, and overseas sellers with no guarantees. I wanted one place where the figure in the photo is the figure that shows up at your door.

What I sell

  • Custom minifigures from more than 30 studios, from pad-printed classics to limited and misprint variants
  • Building sets from BrickVeteran, Brickmania, and others, new and pre-owned
  • Accessories and more: BrickArms, hairpieces, posters, and studio merchandise
  • Consignment pieces from trusted collectors, clearly marked as Partner Products

Genuine parts, every time

Every custom figure sold here is built on genuine LEGO elements that a studio has printed, painted, or modified. I don't sell figures built on knockoff bases, and I never will. If you ever receive a figure and believe the parts aren't genuine, send it back for a full refund including shipping, no questions asked.

How I grade condition

I handle and inspect every pre-owned item before it's listed, under good light and magnification where it matters. Each listing carries one of four labels so you know exactly what you're getting:

  • Sealed / Brand New: factory-sealed or unused with original packaging
  • Pre-owned (Complete): all parts present, inspected for wear
  • Pre-owned (Incomplete): missing parts, listed and photographed
  • Pre-owned (Flawed): a noted defect, described and photographed

If a figure has print wear, a scratch, or a replaced part, it's in the photos and the description. Want a closer look before you buy? Email me and I'll send more pictures.

How I pack and ship

Orders ship from Chicago within 3 business days by UPS or USPS. Figures are secured in rigid boxes so parts can't shift or rub in transit, and higher-value orders go out with signature confirmation. Full details are in the Shipping Policy and Refund & Return Policy.
