71010 - Minifigures - Series 14 Monsters

[Darth_Raichu]

Bought 6 sealed cases of simpsons series 1 on clearance from the Lego store. They were apparently hated and the manager wanted them out.

For sealed cases at target/Walmart ask an associate to look in the stockroom if they show any there. Had good luck with those too when they were clearing out 12/s1 at $1.48. Even got them in original shippers.

Well then, I guess you can get them from the LEGO store. I would imagine this is a YMMV scenario though.

 

There seemed to be piles of S1 Simpsons CMF at every store (including LEGO store), until they sold those with deep discounts

this is correct. towards the end of the clearance cycle this store received an unusual butt load as they put it. usually they set the limit 32 on any CMFs, even clearance, but they wanted them gone. i think i picked them up for $1.98/each

We've seen most of these already, but this appears to be the official checklist.

Lovin' the fly. I may just freeze one of them into an ice cube.

BOOM! Sweet! Love em! Tiger girl is going to be like the other fuzzies, she'll be high demand.

[speedsausage]

A VERY strong line up here. Those are my top 3 also elk. I'm digging the crazy scientist too, probably won't be strong in the secondary market.

I smell sarcasm there.

[ISO8T0]

CMF monsters! Nuff said. These will all be strong. (Cant wait) Ive already asked my local toy shop for two sealed cases.

[Wrothgar]

Now to know the quotas in each boxes!

I predict 3 per boxes for man plant, gargoyle and the fly

These look awesome. I've never bought sealed cases of CMF's before, but I think I will with this series. Also, the thing I like most from looking at the pictures is that each one seems to have a very distinguishable part, which should make smooshing a breeze. 

One more thought...not that the HH needs a bonus to increase its value or appeal to a potential buyer, but what do you think about including a full set of these figures with a HH. List as an auction at just a little above the market rate for the HH and watch the bids fly!

Had not seen the Banshee before. She looks fantastic.

[Jules_K]

These are awesome!

Which ones do you think will be the best sellers ? I am thinking 5, 6, 11. Anyone else ? how do you normally predict what will be the sought after ones? 

 

[speedsausage]

A spectre.

I have to correct myself, she is a banshee, (banshees are classified as female spirits). The other one is the spectre/wraith.

It depends on how many of each are in a box. Personally I would guess 6, 8, 10 and 13 but again it depends on which ones are the 'rare' ones.

[Cbenioff]

These figures may maintain similar values but I have a suspicion that the zombies might get some extra attention. People like zombies. 

[TheDarkness]

This one has such a great spread though. 2 suit characters, 3 zombies, the ghosts and so much awesomeness across the whole set. Probably my favorite series so far
