There's still tons of them out there.  I still see them in the stores and at Legoland.  Pricing on these won't pick up until these dry up.  And I don't see TLG going back to $3 for these.  Not with Series 12 coming at $4.

 

I'll be buying them at $3 or less.

Too bad. I always thought it was a 1 year license. This would mean that TLG can continue producing Simpsons houses too and that makes it lesser of an investment to me.. But in theory, this could also mean an expansion of the structure? Nuke plant, treehouse, krusty burger... meh.. it's all good news.

I'm not worried about the $200 never-discounted exclusive Simpsons houses.  That's a pricey way to get the figures.  And the LEGO Movie CMF series seems to do fine, even when you can get the main characters (especially Emmet and Wyldstyle) in lots of other inexpensive sets (Emmet and Wyldstyle can be had, along with another minifig, in a $12.99 MSRP set that of course includes ~100 pieces too).  I would be more concerned about smaller, non-exclusive Simpsons sets that reproduced the minifigs from the CMF series.

 

I still wonder about the folks selling the full set of 16 for $55 with free shipping.  Once they pay eBay/PayPal fees and 1st class postage, they're down to around $46.  That's about $2.88 per figure, so for them to have any profit at all they had to buy them for less than that.  I have never, ever seen these for under $3 (barring the obvious coupons/gift cards/whatever, and if you have those, there are less time-intensive ways to use them than assembling these sets by hand).  Maybe they're just bad at math, but...

Just when we thought we were done collecting Simpsons Minifigures...  

 

The Brick Fan is reporting that a EuroBricks member is reporting that David Thomson is reporting that the Simpsons minifigures will return for wave 2 in 2015.

Well I guess if Lego will continue selling the house for another year then why not make another series? At least my wallet is grateful for yet another series I plan to not purchase. These Minifigures may be small but collecting them is more costly than buying a full sized set with actual bricks and stuff.

Too bad animals are not counted as minifigs. Would have loved Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II.

Disappointing for me s an investor, but fans will be happy. 

Cheapest place to get one?

 

Best to keep sealed or pair up as in cladner's example?

Just wait. Some lego outlets have as much as 80 cases in the stockroom and they are not selling. Same with simpsons house. I used to buy all the box damage ones with the bonus pts and promos and there never ending. If there not selling at that price which amounts to about 155 after the extra points and poly I think there definitely heading down before up. Not saying they wont long term but something that you should see a better price on later on

What if they stop production in December?  Still something to wait on?

 

And how does one find a lego outlet with damaged boxes?  =)

As with every minifig run they will be out of production sooner than later. I got 5 complete sets and addtional 5 pairs of I&S. All bags sealed. No sealed case. These will probably slowly appreciate. Not expecting a huge return but steady growth and easy shipping down the road.

I just got one sealed case in LEGO shipping box a few days ago for ~$170. I don't know if it will be worth it in the EU in the long run, since The Simpsons has been and will always be an American show.  

Pretty sure the announced a series 2 of Simpsons mini figs, that will both bump price in first series as well as hasten it's retirement

Link? If there is for sure going to be a second series, I'd be quite a bit more inclined to invest in series 1...

Can not hurt to invest in 1 sealed box tho

I just noticed the Simpsons minifigures are "Call to check availability" at the German ShopatHome.

Price is back to $248 for anyone still interested in grabbing a sealed case.

Holding mine hoping for series 2.

Thanks...I had seen most of the leaked stuff before, wasn't aware of Simpsons series 2. Double VIP with a bonus set is a good time for me to grab from S&****.

Price is back down to the original $239 mark.  A very tempting investment that does not requires minimal shelf/storage space.

What are the chances of these sealed boxes hitting $500 or more eol?

I say between 0 and 0.

What are the chances of these sealed boxes hitting $500 or more eol?

I'd say maybe $400 max but you will have to wait. Plus it's still up in the air if they are doing another series.

Then I will pass. Not interested if there is not even a chance I will double my money.
