I think it's safe to assume, that the Batman Movie CMF line that is rumored will be the next wave of minifigures, and that the Lego Movie sequel will get a wave in 2018. That leaves me to guess that there will be a Disney series 2 next year, and perhaps Series 17. Your list is great. Thanks. Expand It’s a useful guide but we can pretty much guarantee some of those will move. Lego Movie 2 already has, presumably because of the Lego Batman and Ninjago movies, so they maybe more stable, but I’d bet both SW and DCEU will see changes. Quote

It's completely oversaturated to the point where they have lost their luster. I really could care less about lesser known superheroes like Black Panther, Shazam, Captain Marvel, etc. and by 2019 people are going to be so sick of these, that I think they will begin to fail at the box office. Star Wars could also begin to lose it's luster by Episode 9. Disney needs to scale it back. Seriously, they are pushing out way too much stuff. And now with DC and Warner Brothers trying to mimic the marvel world it's bound to create many super flops where all the stories seem similar, to where it becomes overly trite. Sometimes less is more. I'm already burned out on all the superhero BS. As for the lego movies - bring em' on. The First Lego Movie was a gem. Batman looks funny as heck and i'm sure it will be better than any real batman film being pushed out right now. 1 Quote

Expand The low rent ones sure and DCEU is a mess, but I think MCU will do fine, as Infinity War (Gauntlet) will sell, which is why I suspect they’ll move the Han Solo movie. Overall I’m guessing next year we will see more Superhero fatigue, GOGT2 will do well though. 2018 more of the same with Infinity War being the only one to do well. By 2019 we will move into SW fatigue. But yes, the market is real crowded. Lego movies may well be the big (product) winners Quote

If Parisian Restaurant went I would put that in the category of a Town Hall shocker. Everything else that is retiring is completely expected and heavily stockpiled. Expand I think the Palace cimema modular will retire unexpectedly. Quote

Grynn Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Fair enough. I've seen (3) IR sets in about 20 Walmarts around here this week, admittedly amidst a growing pack of vultures it would seem. That's less than the number of $59 Deep Sea Vessels, $15 Hulkbusters, 50% Star Wars anything, and about 1/12th of the $59 Spaceports that remain unclaimed, however. The only competition it seems to have in the scarcity department at Walmart is Mystery Mansion. Which tells me something important, indeed. Quote

ckBricks Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Not sure if this is proper place for this but it is about retiring lego products. I heard rumors of the Disney cmf being released again in September with the castle..? Not a new series, but the series already released..? Anyone know if there's truth to this? Quote
