mmatthie Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I found a going out of business sale at a local toy store...40% off all legos...the best I saw was the 9467 Ghost Train...original price was MSRP...so is $47.99 a good price for this set? Worth it? They had 5 left. Thoughts? Quote
nolanfan34 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Many seem to be buying them at $54, so I think most people would say yes. I have a couple but don't plan on grabbing any more, I am a little hesitant on this one. Hope to be proved wrong. Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 At $48 it's a pretty safe bet. Go get them before they are gone Quote
Darth Lego Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 $48 is a good price IMO. I would go buy them ASAP. Quote
JoshTX Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 This ones turned out to be kinda tricky. Walmarts arent moving this nearly as quickly as anything else, so I don't know if that's a sign or what. But I'm guessing it will still appreciate eventually. Quote
stackables Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I just picked up another on a impulse buy to put together at my local Meijer. $65 there so I spent too much but wanted to build something tonight. Too bad that the used set goes for $15 Seems a littler low lol Quote
TheDarkness Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I'm still on the fence with this one. I have a few of them but I'm not sure it is a set I would love to have a large quantity of Quote
jaisonline Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Search ghost train using the forum search.. here are great links. http://www.brickpicker.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/1553/ http://www.brickpicker.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/1295/ http://www.brickpicker.com/index.php/evaluations/view/do_lego_monster_fighters_sets_scare_away_profits Quote

Worth it? They had 5 left. Thoughts? I have 12 @ $54 and 4 @ $60. Buy as many as you can fit in the car for $48. Don't even think, just buy, Look for the Castle and any original trilogy SW with the Clone Trooper or Darth Vador logo at the top right of the box. Quote
mmatthie Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Ok I went back and grabbed all 5! 47.99/ea. can't go wrong I guess! Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Ok I went back and grabbed all 5! 47.99/ea. can't go wrong I guess! Nice! I would of done the same thing if I hadn't put my money into VC's. I did buy one at 54 though. Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I was able to ****** up three boxes of Ghost Train for $30.00 a box at my in town Walmart. Kept one for myself. I probably won't stock up a lot more of them unless I can find similar deals, as I too am skeptical of Monster Fighters' EOL ROI. Quote
emazers Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I would buy 20 Ghost Trains if I found them at $47.99, How cheap do you want to pay for the Monster Fighter sets. The set is below Wholesale as it is. If you see the Monster Stuff on sale buy it, once there gone thats it forever. Next Halloween and Christmas these should do great, as there is always people who love Frankenstein, Dracula, Haunted Houses Etc. Quote

If the stores get rid of them fast enough, you never know? Quote
JoshTX Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 They might even do decently this year. If the stores get rid of them fast enough, you never know? Probably just depends on how many people decide to unload this year as opposed to next or later. Quote
jaylay Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 good buy? been waiting to go even lower in price ... here in hawaii the prices of ghost train aint dropping like the mainland ... thinking of pulling the trigger on a couple. LEGO Monster Fighters 9467 The Ghost Train Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 good buy? been waiting to go even lower in price ... here in hawaii the prices of ghost train aint dropping like the mainland ... thinking of pulling the trigger on a couple. If you don't have any and, as you say, there are no clearances of MF in Hawaii, then I would think about grabbing at least a couple. Quote
jaisonline Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 good buy? been waiting to go even lower in price ... here in hawaii the prices of ghost train aint dropping like the mainland ... thinking of pulling the trigger on a couple. pull the trigger. the current price is near the all-time online mainstream low of $54 (Walmart.com in Jan) Quote
bebo911 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Looks like a good buy and I really like this set. I recently bought this set on clearance for $25 @ WalMart, but I live in the middle of nowhere. Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I passed on 7 boxes priced at 30.00 bucks. I'm not fully confident in this one, and I want to save my funds for LOTR's wave 1 clearance that is coming. Unless someone here wants this enough that they'll make it worth my while to ship to them, I can grab them so they don't go to waste. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 What the? How did that get posted thrice? Computer or phone acting up, LowestFormOfWit? Quote

LowestFormOfWit Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah, my old phone is not jiving with the new forums. I've done like 3 double or triple posts since it launched. =/ Also, Jayjay, shoot me with a PM with how much you'll take the lot for, I'll estimate shipping with your addy and we can make something happen.
