I don't really know that we need a HB Cinematic Universe, but, i was a child of the 70s, when we had a HB connected universe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I really wish studios would stop using "cinematic universe" to describe their new endeavors in hopes of copying what Marvel Studios/Disney have been successful at building with their brand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flintstones and Jetsons backgrounds show up I LEGO Dimensions, which implies there's some sort of licensing there. I would venture a guess that if there's going to be a Cinematic Universe, there could be additional sets to support more Scooby and the other properties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent discounting could be an indicator of Retirement or at least getting harder to find.... Retailers need a way to move inventory to make room for new stuff. Note: I also like the theme for kids. Kinda like I did for Toy Story. Great section of set designs and minifigures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAOJump Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Was told all Scooby Doo sets are on their way out from Lego Stores in my area (Laval and Montreal Canada). Probably an employee that is going on a whim...she was implying that production has stopped. Have others heard the same thing? From what I read, some people believe the sets had a 1 year lifespan.

I just received two Mystery Mansions from Amazon, and their seal-codes are both 14S6. Packaged early April this year... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenxxx Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Any new opinions on this theme's life expectancy? No longer available at my local Lego store (but fully stocked at shop.lego)... being clearanced at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us...? Could it be 1 year-and-done? Any newer seal codes out there?

Achilles Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 FWIW, one of my regional Target's had about 15 of the 75900 - Mummy Museum Mystery - Clearanced for $9 as of Thursday's markdown. I didn't pick any up, but followed the sales and they only had 3 left as of this AM. So that could be an encouraging sign for the demand of the theme in general. I expected they may hang out to the next markdown, and was clearly wrong on that front. Obviously one store and 10 sets isn't scientific knowledge, but I am viewing it as an encouraging sign for the future of the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I know Scooby Doo is getting clearanced at Target and Wal-Mart, are you also seeing dwindling stock at TRU? My TRU only had 1 Mystery Mansion left yesterday and a handful of Mystery Machines. The space is being taken over by Angry Birds, which isn't moving at all.

Targets are cleared out of Scooby. Walmart has some stock, but not much. TRU's stock is dwindling but who knows if this just means they have cases upon cases of slow moving stock in their warehouses. Lego Store still has all of the sets in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
