Huge crowds flocked to buy the Lego star characters on St David's Day in Cardiff city centre.
Shoppers were asked to make a minimum £5 donation for each - with proceeds being donated to charities Velindre, Pride Cymru, Ty Hafan, Valley’s Kids and Noah’s Ark.
There were only 50 limited edition Lego figures made for the series and they now being resold online for up to £200.
One seller on eBay - called minigametrade - is asking for a starting bid of £199.99 for Sir Tom.
The seller promised a 10 per cent cut will go to the needy.
But some angry online buyers have slammed the move.
One Lego fan said: "Assuming the Sir Tom figure sells for £199.99, that breaks down to £19.99 which the seller will then have to split between the five charities.
"That means they can each look forward to just £3.99, which doesn't even equate to the cost of the figure's original selling price."
