[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7413898, member: 1465"] Kre-O was horrible... I generally wouldn't even look at knock-offs, but I guess they are ok if on a strict budget. With real Lego, it's generally expensive to buy complete sets on the secondary market, because of the "collector's effect". More reasonable deals can be found on spare minifigs, but it actually depends a lot, for some reason certain minifigs cost a fortune even if used. Generally speaking, any [I]licensed[/I] set and minifigs (like those you mention) become unreasonably expensive on the secondary market. If you really want to go that route, a good website is [url]www.bricklink.com[/url] Personally, I would suggest to keep an eye on [I]new[/I] sets currently on the shelves. Interesting monsters can be found in any fantasy theme, for example Ninja Go or Exo Knights. Just don't go looking for a perfect match with D&D monsters :) Also, don't forget to check out the "collectible minifig series"! In the past they have been a good way for us to get multiple copies of monsters such as werewolves, vampires, minotaurs and even medusa, as well as pick one for each fantasy character to gather PC parts and weapons. Unfortunately their price has now increased to 3e per minifig over here, but we still pick the occasional minifig (for instance, in the latest series there is a Dragon Suit Guy that makes for a good [I]dragonborn[/I] character, if you just turn his face around or replace it with a black one).
