Since something bizarre happened to the original topic dedicated for the new theme, I am merely making this as a temporary replacement for further discussion until or if the original thread can be restored. Moving along the last bit of news was we have an image for the Mystery Machine and Mystery Mansion sets which I shall attach below. Release date is around August this year.

That's what I'm afraid of from TRU, a late season glut.

I may have some numbers in the  next week for you. 

The scooby doo theme is an excellent one. As was monster fighters. I thought people liked monsters. Huh.

I love both themes as do my 2 kids.  Now if only the Lego AFOL and KFOL would show some love in the secondary market.  

My local lego store had new run of scooby doo sets.

Mystery machine was 25S6

Same as the codes I had from Tesco last week ;-)  I just can't help thinking that this little van could be gold after EOL. I'm buying them every time I see them discounted.

I bought my son the entire theme, but he doesn't play with them, which is kind of disappointing.  I do notice these are disappearing in my area as well.  Reminds me of the slow phase out of the hobbit from last year.  I doubt these will come back and I doubt there is going to be a restock.  These had a one year cycle, which in my opinion, as an investment is where you want them to be on popular themes.  So, to those that invested... you probably will do well.  I only have a measly few Mystery Machines that I purchased at a discount, so i'm just going to hold my guns to those.  But, I could see this theme doing very well.

My WM had a restock last week of SD (plane / mummy / mystery machine) but all at full price (we're OOS during the 50% off clearance a few weeks ago).

Big risk with these is the 2018 movie.  Re-release of the sets either as is, or tied to the movie.  Would expect to see another mystery machine at least.  License dependent obviously.

WMs within 300 miles of me are almost all wiped clean of all SD sets.

 

I hope people believe the value is bad on those.  I will sing all the way to the bank.  I'm not sure about the lighthouse, but I'm betting The MM and MM are going to be...never mind.  Sell!

The 2 most popular sets are now backordered at EU shop - MM until October. As with JW, the end seems to be nigh.

A little worried about this line now. It has survived multiple clearances with no end is sight. I recently thought that this was done at Walmart and supply was dwindling elsewhere but it's back at most of my local stores. I have a feeling this line was grossly overproduced in North America. I think the growth pattern will resemble The Lone Ranger sets. Stagnant for years and just now making a profit. This is definitely a line to buy at 50% discount or greater.

Totally agree. JW is the likelier of the two retiring themes to appreciate but there have been better deals on Scooby.

You might be the anomaly. Anywhere is saw a discount in my area is gone and hasn't come back. Unless I see it with the Rogue One resets I doubt it returns.

Sorry, but no way Scooby Doo performs as poorly as Lone Ranger. No. Flipping. Way. 

BUT if it does, I can still build a life-size Mystery Machine for my son. Win/win.

Us too, more Jurassic World left here and Scooby is gone.

35S6 seen at lego store for SD sets...

Lots of Scooby left at Walmart, TRU, Kmart, and Lego Stores near me. It might be a regional thing then. Still, I'd only buy at 50% off or greater.

Scooby has been gone here except at B & N Full price.

Zoiks!  

My son loves playing with the haunted house. Gone from all targets. But toys r us told me they have lots of stock 

I really like this theme.  My kids like this theme. The minfigs are great.  Daphne is great.  

My latest mansion delivery seal code 27S6.

18S6 for the Mystery Machines I picked up yesterday

Daphne is great.  

I feel like that's stating the obvious.
