9465 - The Zombies

[wallwebber]

I would pay $110 shipped, and I think it will be worth $175 by x-mas, and $200 by next Halloween.

[MartinP]

$100 max. I do not see much growth in the future.

[Grolim]

About $700-800 each seems fair.  This set will rival the 10179 soon I think.

damn i missed that set, was dirt cheap previously

[Celiasaurus]

I paid

[ApesInCapes]

I wouldn't pay more than MSRP.  This may be the second time zombies were made, but it won't be the last.  (first time in series one CMF's)

[glucapg]

paid it 40

Except that MSRP is 4 times less than what it sells for.

i still need to buy this and the polybags to complete my MF set.

[jaisonline]

It will be in the $200s by Halloween 2014. These are getting harder and harder to find,

What set are you talking about?

This one. Here is the price guide for it.

I know some people are OCD completists, but I don't understand how this set sells for the prices people are asking for right now.  I'm a fan of zombies in general, and of course I'm a fan of Lego.  I came late to the game here, but after some digging I managed to get the zombie bride and groom minifigs for around $20 shipped for both.  The other 2 minifigs are a lot more common, and I don't think there are any rare bricks here.  So if the main draw is the zombie figures, why don't people just buy them separate and save some cash?

[BrickPick3r]

I think someone mentioned earlier that they want to buy to complete their MF collection. That's probably for most of the case. I agree that zombies are the main attraction of the set.  For me i would rather buy the minifigs and vampyre castle instead.

 

But if i need it to complete my collection, i wouldn't mind paying that high. Lucky that i like only HH and VC. 

[Rocklegend]

Ebay is selling at around $230. I have one buying at $90. I think the price is surging and probably much higher before halloween

$250-$300 if enough people are willing to pay it.

[Alpinemaps]

I'll pay whatever it will cost...to Bricklink the parts.

[thehornedrat]

I remember passing this set up when I saw it in the shops. Its ghastly. Look at the coffins' design. Good grief.

 

I'm a aghast its $300 now. Wished I actually bought one just to keep in the box. But I was in my Dark Ages then . As for the rest of the MF series, its a flop here in Oz. Retailers can't get rid of them at all. I've just bought a HH for 169 AUD.

 

Maybe Lego should just create one whole zombie line.

curious about selling this set. Is the high price for sealed-in-box sets, or are used sets selling well? I bought this set the day it launched and its been sitting on a display shelf with box stored. i was planning on collecting the whole series but lost interest. I have a few other MF sets but only want to keep the HH since my kids play with it.

It's selling for around $125 in the US in a used state....

The MISB price is about $215 w/ free shipping on eBay. That seems to be the current highest price the set moves. That gives is an avg selling price around $20ish without free shipping (selling fees not removed). I haven't checked used 9465 sets lately.

Honestly, I was very bullish on MISB 9464s when I bought a lot of them for $113 each and one for $90 earlier this year. I started selling my sets a 2-3 months ago and expect to sell-out before Halloween. I will keep at least 3 sets to possible future growth.

Like previous niche sets that rose in price quickly (10173 Holiday Train, 7888 Batman 1 Tumbler, 10132 Hogwarts Train) demand seemed to have slowed down around the $210 price. Doesn't that mean you it won't increase maybe 10%(or more) more each year! heck no. However, nothing else is helping to keep demand steady or even increase it. The MF seems to have been a dud except to sets (HM and this. VC EOL got off to a bad start because of TRU). There isn't a licensed movie or tv show tie-in to help. Still a 3-4 month production run is pretty rare especially for a one-retail or exclusive set.

If I were you in shoes, I would prob hold onto 9465 since you only have 1 set. Bricklink a used one yourself especially if you csn find the minifigs on the cheap. It's actually a pretty cool set and will compliment the HM plus it' small enough to not take away from larger sets. My 5 year lives the set. Even the vehicle is sorta cool despite being "strange".

Let's not forget this set is the only one with a female zombie plus the groom's face is actually exclusively different from the other dead guys. I mean, if there was any reason for the set to retain value and slowly continue growing over time as stock depletes. I may have had a faint idea as to the popularity of this store exclusive set in the beginning but no idea it would explode this much. Far out.

yeah, it's been a while since we had a $40 set explode to $200+ just 20 months after retirement.

it does seem out of the ordinary. the only reason I thought about selling it is the price is so high, I could definitely help a collector complete their collection, and use the money to buy some more play friendly kits for the kids. I love the theme, still can't believe its shutting down. Movie licensing, although a boon to lego, seems to have double edged sword, as new themes without the marketing push from big Hollywood marketing budgets seem to falter. Lego should of made a cartoon about about Monster Fighters, would of been awesome.
