Digging around I appear to have found two untouched Tyranid Swarm boxes (I assume they came with five sprues).

Anyone have a realistic idea what these are worth? eBay seems to have some really ridiculous amounts for half done sprues which has to be some sort of market irregularity.

Hi!

Few days ago 10 complete infantry sprues were sold on ebay.co.uk for 72 Pounds.
So 5 Sprues should be worth half that!  

Lot of money though for infantry....
made me change my mind about getting a Tyranid force!

bg,

Yes...nid stuff in general seems to be worth a ridiculous amount at the moment; it's pretty hard to get...thus the reason i'll be sculpting all my infantry and casting them myself...not to mention converting bigger beasties from the new 40k nids...but that's a while in the future.

OF course; if you're happy to part with those sprues for say, a tenner, then i'll happily relieve you of them! ;-)

Since March I've spent just over £100 getting a nid force together from scratch (well I had a Dominatrix) and have yet to get the metal large beasties - Haruspex etc but plan to convert them from 40k scale gaunts.

They were going for ~15USD per sprue or just a touch less (which is about the same as the 7GBP price mspaetuf posted) in eBay.  Recently, though I've seen several go for more like 10USD.  I saw one that went for less than that in the past couple weeks but I suspect that's just one of those unusual deals rather than indicative of a serious downturn in price.

Are there really that many Nid players out there or is it simply a problem with supply?

Supply problem. You should sell them before rumors of Tyranid re-release begin.

And no, I don't know anything, just citing a lesson of the chaos space marines.

I just noticed that tehre are currently a load of nids on ebay (like 2 pages of lots) so we may be seeing a brief spurt in supply.  If your thinking of ebay id see the prices there- there may be an artificially low market with the volume of lots i saw.
