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

Rodeogeorge Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 The scooby doo theme is an excellent one. As was monster fighters. I thought people liked monsters. Huh. 1 Quote

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. 2 Quote
Voltron Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 My local lego store had new run of scooby doo sets. Mystery machine was 25S6 1 Quote

fossilrock Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 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. 1 Quote
kris_1973 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 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). Quote
feed Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 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. 1 Quote

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! Quote
Val-E Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 The 2 most popular sets are now backordered at EU shop - MM until October. As with JW, the end seems to be nigh. Quote
pete411 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 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. 1 Quote

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

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. Quote
biking_tiger Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 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. 6 Quote

Voltron Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) 35S6 seen at lego store for SD sets... Edited September 23, 2016 by Mhd747 1 Quote
pete411 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 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. 2 Quote
Emvisawthatswho Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Scooby has been gone here except at B & N Full price. Quote
