Is this a good deal?

[seapotato]

I can't for the life of me find the thread about whether a set is a good deal or not...so anyway, I started one in the Canada section.

 

Found:

Monster Fighters 9463 The Werewolf - $16.24 + 12% tax (reg $24.99)

Monster Fighters 9462 The Mummy - $9.74 + 12% tax (reg $14.99)

 

Should I pick these up? I am not interested in building these sets and am looking purely for investing purposes.

Most of us picked up werewolf at 13 and mummy at 7 on walmart / amazon clearances. I would pass, you have a lot of competition with cheaper goods.

Not bad for CAN prices...just over 30% discount I think.  If you're undecided, just buy 1 of each ONLY.  Taxes in would only cost you $30 for the two.  I would personally save the $30/some funds and use it in Sept for the promo mini vw van polybag at Lego Store

Yeah. I've seen the Werewolf clearance at walmart for 15 + tax here in Canada.

Honestly, I don't see much value. The two minifigs will be pretty popular later on, but the sets have been so discounted, I don't think it's going to be that great. For example, these sets were

 

10$ for werewolf

5$ for Mummy

 

In the US - Canadian would be a little more, but selling them it's still a disadvantage.

Hmm thanks for the replies. Think I'll pass on this. Save up tor a TB :D

I found this one for $75.  But there are no minifigs included.  They all include the box and manuals expect for the Spongebob.

1. Star Wars 7877
2. Star Wars 7929
3. Star Wars 7915
4. Star Wars 7957
5. Pirates of the Caribbean 4183
6. Pirates of the Caribbean 4192
7. Spongebob 4982....no box but includes manual.

 

What do you think?  No no minifigs has me a little leery.

 

 

I didn't realize until after i posted that this was a Canadian thread, eh.  The post is in the USA.
