71010 - Minifigures - Series 14 Monsters

[Ciglione]

This one looks great. Fortunately the zombies are not brides and groomes. So maybe Lego still loves us?

[fossilrock]

My favorites are the Fly and Bigfoot.

I haven't bought cases since Series 10, that will end with this series.  These are great and as said before, would make great add-ons to Monster Fighters or Scooby Doo sales.

For the book and figure--49% off the list price. I ordered one for my collection, but that's it.

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? 

 

Like others have said, it depends quite a bit on the distribution within a case.  I also can see quite a few of these having additional demand drivers:

• 3 Zombies - people love zombies.  Plenty of people collect them (e.g. I myself have every Lego zombie minifig) and plenty of people build armies of them for display
• #10 the Gargoyle - would be great for MoCs of castles or other haunted house type buildings.  Having a few as statues would be excellent.
• #4 the witch - not sure about the figure itself but the black cat accessory may prove a hit.
• #8 Zombie cheerleader - because it's a zombie cheerleader!  But also I think those pom poms will have some great uses (make your own cheer squad, or actually use those pom poms for landscaping small trees and bushes etc)
• #11 Skeleton - mainly for the Halloween pumpkin
• #2 & #6 - do the pirate zombie and fly guy have unique hands (hook and claw)?  I'm not sure.  They could provide demand if they are unique.

 

Overall a great series.  And I'll be picking up a box or 2 for sure.

The Catwoman has a whip? ....Kinky. If I wasn't a completest before, this series would have certainly changed that. Man they all are so good! Now comes a dilemma....how much of this series does my mother want for her own collection? Probably all of them too same as me. Ha. Anyway, an entire series of costumed characters is a winner. Holy smokes.

Exactly what I thought he would be; a zombified version of the Series 1 Skateboarder. Not bad and I will get the book when that becomes available.

• #2 & #6 - do the pirate zombie and fly guy have unique hands (hook and claw)?

Yes.

Hi guys,

      Ive been collecting mini figures since series 1  and have multiples of many of them. However Ive always searched for each figure Ive wanted. There isnt a single figure I dont like in this release. Im definitely interested in buying a box but have never purchased them this way. Where is the best place to look for the cheapest price on something like that?

Thanx

eBay always has a sealed case in the original shipping carton...

[longshot]

What does that work out to per mini figure as opposed to buying it from LEGO or TRU?

[TheOrcKing]

It is small in the checklist picture but over the Lumberjack Werewolf's right shoulder you can spot a bit of tail. Awesome. I wish the angle for the Zombie Pirate was different for his blade at least because I can't tell if it may be a new sword or just a classic one. Another blade for the arsenal is always great. The wailing Banshee's hair is a new 'do I am eager to see in person. Rockenstein's sweet guitar with some bat art makes me really want to come up with a type of guitar/music store modular house even more. I'm hoping for some "Messing with Sasquatch" LEGO clips to pop up on YouTube after this Sasquatch minifigure hits shelves. Those are hilarious.

Also I spot a tiny fly print on the Mad Scientist's flask which goes well with the other Fly in the line who has a claw hand very much like Zoidberg. Let's see, Series 13 Alien Trooper with a squid head, now a Fly with a claw hand. Hmm....

Where is the best place to look for the cheapest price on something like that?

Most would say try eBay in particular a seller called Minifigures Plus.

Love this series. Haven't been excited about the last few, but these look awesome.

Does getting a sealed box generally mean you're guaranteed to get at least one of every figure?

[longshot]

I should certainly hope so at least 3 of each................

[TheOrcKing]

If the box is indeed factory sealed, you should get three of each minifigure bare minimum. Lately for the few past series, the ratio has been seven characters at 3 each, six characters at 4 each, and three characters at 5 each for a final total of 60 altogether.

That's good to know, thanks. Didn't know if you were getting a truly random sample (including the possibility of missing some entirely) or if the distribution was more even. Definitely makes me want to consider getting a sealed box!
