Pray the euro stays low and sell it to the US market in the Autumn - this one was available for 50 euros here before it went EOL so people will still be happy to sell for 100 or so.

Anyone hear anything about the rumoured Monster minifigures Series later this year? If it`s true, it will definitely boost sales of VC and the rest of the theme as well.

Halloween treat?

The set number is 71010 and the release date is October 2015. Pics floating around the interwebs. Should go well with Scooby Do.

Looks like these are selling well over $100 now and I think it might be a nice strategy to bundle with the Ghost Train if possible for $200+

However, I like what others are suggesting, which is to wait until fall Sept/Oct and sell here in the U.S. for a seasonal treat!

I think I'll be selling mine this fall also.  Hopefully they are above $150 then so I can double my initial investment after fees.

I moved the bundling discussion here:

cladner earlier post was a casualty of merging threads. I quoted it on my response instead

back on topic - if we really do get a monster themed minifigure release timed for halloween that will certainly juice the value of Monster fighter themed sets including this one.  i am sort of mystified why it hasn't done better.  only reason i can think of is the HH steals the show.  eventually VC will be the poor man's HH.

​Agreed with the effect of monster CMF.  VC has always been poor man's HH. At MSRP the difference was only $80.  However, when HH climbs up, the much cheaper VC is an alternative for anyone who does not want to spend $400+ on HH.  At least my hope is customers see $175 VC as a deal when the king of the hill is selling for $400 each

Its one of the sets I regret not buying, had the option to buy them for around 60€ per piece, the local shop had around 4 of them and I passed...... 

Last year everyone said to wait till Halloween 2014, then it was wait until XMas 2014. If you're still holding this set good luck on making much. With the Scooby set looking so close to this growth will be strained IMO.

This set could still be found on the shelves at Halloween 2014. I don't think anyone expected a big bang at that time. There will be nice gains this fall and really nice gains Halloween 2015. 100% return is my expectation. 

I lost faith in this set long time ago, I sold 4 of my 6 last Christmas, i got 150 for each.... and reinvested somewhere else..... 

are the glow in the dark sticker sheet variants typically running higher?

Nope!  Buyers don't know the difference.

Thank you!!

I think the Haunted House hurt this set as far as value goes.  It's easily the best "castle" that Lego has released in the past five or six years time (Kingdom's Joust is more like large facade than complete structure).  I think it also probably sat too long on shelves when it went to being a TRU Exclusive.

Right now, everyone is trying to buy up all the MF sets! I've been selling the castles and ghost trains for $125+ easily...

Hmmmm I got a hard time selling mine. Maybe one a month, but my selling price is higher

I have the same impression. The new monster figures will have a very positive effect on the Monster Fighter Theme. I even pulled back some ads with MF sets and will wait and see what happens. 

As it seems VC will pass the 200€ mark with Halloween or Xmas. Supply is drying out, at least here in Europe..

Your price must not have been high enough, raise it!

I was thinking about this. But my price is right in the middle. Anyway my next release will be a bit higher. Still have some MF to play with so why not.
