71010 - Minifigures - Series 14 Monsters

[exciter1]

Full case of these can still be had on ebay for $199 shipped. Pretty amazing (and disappointing) this far out after release. 

Seems about right, considering the hype here.

My Lego rep that makes the aisles of local toysrus, etc look pretty claimed serie 2 monsters this fall but I find that unlikely given September for the next mainline cmf series

Doubtful.  Series 16 is out in the fall, and they aren't monsters based.  Interestingly, we should be hearing rumors about series 17 (or whatever line that one may be) by now.

Checked the last 100 sales on eBay USA again... for last 100 sold Sep 28, 2016:

Top sellers (quan. sold): All tied: Tiger Woman, Scientist, Skeleton, Frankenrocker

Top Avg. Price (incl. shipping): (1) Tiger Woman $10.41, (2) Wacky Witch $9.84, (3) Wolf Guy $9.16

Avg. of all: $7.72

Interesting this is the first time the average price has increased in the past year, which is encouraging; however, it looks like prices were highest a few weeks ago. More recent sales have been lower.

As always: take it with a grain of salt... small sample size... not statistically conclusive.

The Wolf Guy being popular boggles my mind. I passed over so many when I was smooshing back then.

In my mind zombie cheerleader was the clear choice.

This is the only cmf series i bought any of, and i went nuts.  I have bags of the 'rarer' ones pre-smooshed and labeled with post it notes waiting for Halloween 2016.

I still don't get how profitable they can be if shipping them is a minimum of $2.6 plus supplies,  plus fees on top of $4 retail,  

I'm thinking full set sales are the way to go,  but we'll see.

Isn't Halloween 2016 like right now?

Full case can still be had for $40 under msrp. Going to be a few more Halloweens before these become worthwhile.
