I read this earlier and was quite surprised there re releasing these dinos and not doing something new.

I can't imagine this is the best way forward. Surely producing some new dinos would be in there best interest, I mean what buyer who already has these dinos will purchase these sets, that takes out a lot of potential business to them.

Seems to be a big mistake re doing them all especially the one that's just retiring, surely this is a joke. 

Re releasing similar or exact sets seems to becoming a real theme at Lego, maybe this is just the way forward for them, which will basically kill the investors.

Why make a new mold when you can just re-color it?

Because a new one would sell miles better?

Think it’s more the sets as a whole. How many ‘escapes’ are we going to have TRex escaped like 10 times already.

LEGO recycling molds is nothing new.  The target market for these sets age out every few years and replaced w/ new kids.  I would think about a third to 2/3 of all sets are recycled in some fashion...some more obvious than others.

no different from the recycled movie plots...imo

 

same movie same sets...no surprise there

I would certainly want new ones but only lego knows the dollars and cents behind each action. I can only hope they are in new colors and not the same as previous ones.

That's how the movies have been all these years, I don't care much for the sets really and doubt collectors do as well. For those that I popped open it was simply for the dinos. I'm actually sitting beside a triceratops outside Weasleys Wizards Wheezes and a T-rex in Barracuda Bay now. 😛

Anybody want to buy a Baryonyx set off me?

To be fair 75935 did not kill off 75930 for me. If it's not a re-color then it would suck real bad.

If it's not a different colour I would of thought they would just keep in on the shelfs instead of retiring it to only bring it back.

It must sell pretty well as it's rarely ever discounted much in the Uk and Lego has it backordered even though according to all sources apparently its no longer in production lol.

Lego is becoming a quick-flipper in its own right.  They are way more focused on consistently bringing new product to market now than they ever have been before.  In previous years, they had maybe 3 big release dates during the year...this year, they have something like 6 or 7.

just had a DM from the guy over at brickfanatics,

architecture sets leaving in 2021

I remember returning one of those to BN back when I was a Box Queen.  

21016: Sungnyemun : 27 Jun 2012 - 19 Feb 2013 (7m 23d)
21036: Arc de Triomphe : 1 Aug 2017 - 24 Nov 2018 (1y 3m 23d)
21041: Great Wall of China : 1 Aug 2018 - 30 Nov 2019 (1y 3m 29d)
21055: Burj Khalifa: Would fall here with an EOY retirement - Set is a direct re-release of 21031, and is available in European markets only. 
21023: Flatiron Building, New York : 2 May 2015 - 20 Dec 2016 (1y 7m 19d)
21035: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum : 2 Apr 2017 - 19 Dec 2018 (1y 8m 17d)
21027: Berlin : 2 Jan 2016 - 19 Nov 2017 (1y 10m 17d)
21032: Sydney : 2 Jan 2017 - 25 Nov 2018 (1y 10m 22d)
21026: Venice : 2 Jan 2016 - 25 Nov 2017 (1y 10m 23d)
21022: Lincoln Memorial : 1 Jan 2015 - 5 Dec 2016 (1y 11m 3d)
21033: Chicago: 2 Jan 2017 - 11 Dec 2018 (1y 11m 7d)
21031: Burj Khalifa: 2 Jan 2016 - 18 Dec 2017 (1y 11m 15d)
Dubai would be the 13th shortest with an EOY retirement  (03 Jan 20 - now)

SF would be 15th longest running out of 49 sets released to the public  (03 Jan 20 - now)
