I like this answer too, hopefully it is the answer. I'll be waiting until launch or pre-launch if that incidentally happens. I expect Target will offer the 5% with free shipping for redcard members. I'm curious if Amazon will offer discounts early, I recall getting a few MF and The Hobbit sets really cheap, The Hobbit especially upon release. Amazon seems to offer the deeper discounts if you're buying the theme all at once.

I'm calling FAKE on these being sold. Zoom in one this one, notice the quality errors? There are chips on her right bottom of the torso, the lines of her many curves are not matched, it does seem very fishy they are released but none of the sets are being leaked? How were they able to get these parts in the USA when the LEGO factories are mainly in Europe? Why only $20... like I said the sleepy Emmet I got for free at Regal Cinemas sold well over $20 within the week of getting it, yet these are not available and somehow they're going for a very low $20? I know they're not "limited edition" but c'mon, there has got to be a lot of fans who want these early right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2015-REAL-Lego-Scooby-Doo-Velma-Minifigure-Minifig-75904-Mystery-Set-Vilma-/271874542267?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4cfc4abb

I don't expect any of these to sell out. Anything that is outsourced by LEGO is often made in an extensive number of quantities. Look at the "Everything is Awesome" edition of the Lego Movie. You can still find mass quantities of that in many stores yet it's really not that expensive for what you get.

I'm shocked individual figures are going for only $20 Buy It Now, that's the price of an exclusive figure in a sealed bag (like a movie theater giveaway). Is LEGO aftermarket (or before market in this case) really starting to depreciate that badly?

It definitely should. I am unsure though why there is only one swamp monster and why BestBuy.ca calls the Swamp Monster "Mr. Brown" when I cannot find any evidence of a Mr. Brown and Swamp Monster correlation, let alone a Mr. Brown anywhere in Scooby Doo lore.

Interestingly, the official Scooby Doo web site, http://www.scoobydoo.com/, (click Characters at top-right) features only the monsters that will be appearing in the LEGO sets. Of particular note are the names of especially the ghost and sea creature: The Phantom & Sea Demon. The actual person's names and the places they haunt do not exactly match Best Buy Canada's product information but I find this interesting to note anyway.

WAL-MART INADVERTENTLY REVEALS "SCOOBY DOO" LEGO DIMENSIONS FUN PACK... From The BrickFan: http://www.thebrickf...led-by-walmart/ Google cache archive of Wal-Mart page - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:G3lt0d1XxokJ:www.walmart.com/ip/38661999+&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Wow that does help... where did a shot like this come from? Wonder why this hasn't been leaked yet we already know about what CMF14 will look like?

Well looks like the guy from The Brick Fan reads these forums, especially the Dimension forum because now he's speculation the house is the Scooby Doo house and swears he sees Shaggy and Scooby in the pixelated box art of the Xbox one version of the starter pack. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-dimensions-future-theme-speculation/

So far all we know is this from LEGO'S official press release on the theme: http://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news-room/2015/january/lego-scooby-doo-launch

Except the tree is on the other side dude. Seriously, look at the details. I'm not saying it isn't Scooby Doo but the houses are not exactly the same.

Exactly where are people seeing Ghostbusters in the extended cut?

I literally cropped it and zoomed in to it the best I could from the Hi-Res pic listed at Lego.com's press release through their Newsroom... if it is that house then the image was flipped horizontal because the tree is on the opposite side. Could also be the Mystery Mansion. Either way that tree definitely looks like Scooby Doo animation. Check it out yourself... https://www.dropbox....obspec.JPG?dl=0 There is also a lighthouse, the same red/white stripes at the Scooby one, below it. [scratch that, I think its the Tower that appears in the LOTR Fun pack). Obviously this all is still speculation.

Star Wars never grabbed my interests either. LEGO DIMENSIONS has just been announced as a new video game. While right now this is totally off-topic, the fact that this game is introducing the first official WIZARD OF OZ set into the LEGO world and bringing us the Wicked Witch minifigure, with many more of these xpansion packs expected for the rest of 2015, opens the possibility that LEGO Scooby Doo could be added into this cross-universe mashup game. That can help determine the healthiness of the SD line as almost all kids and a huge majority of adults play video games. And it also means like the fifth Witch minifigure, if you don't count the 3 Bellville witches (I recall Fright Knight witch, Evil Witch, Witch CMF and Witch from Halloween accessory pack thus far).

I agree. We need a spooky circus and mine. A real ghost ship and not just a skeleton or zombie ship would be great. It wouldn't hurt to have another castle and graveyard.

Its not an "apparent" Monster site, it exists at wskel.com. I loved the monsters from MF - I hated the monster fighters. They would have ton of ideas to draw from to have made a second wave of MF. First, the storyline involved a witch. So a witch's cottage would have been great. Coyotes, not manbats were suppose to guard the castle. The Mummy could have been given a tomb and not just a chariot - Mummies in the monster lines always get shafted and given smaller sets. Not to mention we could have had a MF headquarters. I believe the MF leader was in his own castle. Instead we had a bunch of MF vehicles that took away from what could have made the monster sets better.

Yes, with MF being a failure, we would still be getting CMF Monster wave for one of the reasons I stated (release around Halloween season). The monsters in the CMF would have done better than the MF line. For one I didn't recall seeing MF sets in Amazon's top sellers list and 2 the MF story was way too in depth for kids. Kids don't seem to like vintage things and as one poster pointed out in this thread or another thread or somewhere else on another site, MF was more attractive to adults than it was kids. The fact that I always seen MF sets at the Disney location is pivotal because Downtown Disney in Florida attracts a large international audience (bigger than California's parks actually and that's from a Disney worker himself). I seen parents from other countries literally stocking up on the larger sets because LEGO is sold much higher in Europe than here in the U.S. (149 euros is nowhere near the same as 149 us dollars). One of the people I met from another country explained that they travel to America so they can buy products because it's much cheaper to ship it back to Europe then buying it in their own countries. I don't quite see Scooby Doo being the hit it was. Yes there is a lot of inspiration to draw from. But when you look at the other toy licenses what do you see? Universal Studios Monsters and Zombies. There is a reason for that. Monster High has a much better chance of success for MegaBloks than Scooby Doo does for LEGO and LEGO's own books about the Friends line and even Amazon's sales data can verify that. Plus its known in any market girls have a lot more marketing power (Justin Beiber anyone?) . But the MH Megabloks will also be riding off of Lego's coattails since they're due the same timeframe as the Scooby sets. I still recall a lot of naysayers who said Scooby will never be made into a set yet those of us who study rumors and business statistics and everything else were able to agree with the rumor starter that Scooby Doo would be more likely to be made into a set. If you read some of the stuff from the designer of the Haunted House, and that's guy's original concepts for the MF theme from 2010, you'd realize Scooby was the original idea for MF. Scooby will do well, I have no doubts about that, but will it merit a second or third wave? Will it outlast the theme Ninjasgo which is so popular it was renewed when it was slated for cancellation? That's a big statement. Also, the reason why LEGO released the MF line and not the Scooby Doo line is because... gasp... COBI has had a working relationship with Warner Bros for some time so naturally they would have entitlement to Scooby Doo building sets first. (see http://www.ltwmag.com/news/news_2012/character_group_awarded_licence_for_scoobydoo_construction_toys.aspx) Trust me, market share and competitive advantage are all big factors when releasing products. Should have WB gave the rights to COBI over LEGO? No because LEGO is a much bigger name for construction toys. But TLC was still a pretty unstable company and it wasn't until the Friends line until it was able to pick back up and of course The Lego Movie that made it the dominant force it is today. About this time, in May I believe in 2012 the first MF site was released. If LEGO stays on schedule we should be seeing a Scooby site, which I'm guessing comes with its own online game. The next Club magazine will also likely mention it even briefly (MF premiered in the May-June 2012 issues only as a game and then officially appeared on the cover and dominated the July-August issue of 2012).

Changing the direction here but... I'm not feeling LEGO Scooby Doo as getting a second wave unless LEGO plans to super promote this and its already under promoted. Case in point... Doctor Who gets one set and I'm already seeing a teaser video. We only have an official teaser image and press release for SD. I am, however, aware that the next line of CMF will be monster-related. The next warriors in the NinjaGo series, also coming in August, will be ghost warriors. Historically Halloween has been one of the major holidays LEGO cannot bank on. They may have one or two sets now but there was a huge decade where LEGO had one or two sets and Christmas and Easter were common. Studios Monster line was a failure, we can blame it on the bad time for LEGO (they almost went bankrupt in 2003) and from going to the Lego store at Disney and my Target at the time Monster Fighters (except for the Zombies set) was also a failure - I always saw that theme in full stock. At least we did get a sticker book last Halloween. I also notice more Halloween items are relaxed in droids with other Halloween items - like the treat bags and storage heads being sold the same time as MF. Just my observation and analysis. This can only be a success with the Halloween time until Lego can turn that season into a profit. And don't tell me about the Brick or Treat at Legoland... The Lego Company sold those parks before their near collapse - they were part of their near collapse.

Also... again we should be careful speculating the villains. The two suggestions for the miner in the Mystery Mansion so far is Scooby Doo's "Miner Forty-Niner" and the CMF12's Prospector. Look closely at the photos... the Miner 49er guy's eyes were not shown and the CMF12 miner did not hold a crystal. Also the miner's photo in the mansion appears to have a spooky white face. It could just be a mashup of many villians or a sign of what's to come on Be Cool, Scooby Doo. No it may not be but again there was a reason for an owl to be on the box and it's not on the set. So again... I wonder why? Just like the MF Mummy set - what was so difficult about not giving the Mummy a whip? I paid less than $3 with shipping for the part.

I just noticed... The box shows an owl on the right of the mansion but it does not appear in the set. Wonder why? This reminds me of the MF box at Toy Fair - the mummy had a brown Indy Jones whip but the final set no whip existed.

I doubt TLC would delay it. Video games like Mortal Kombat X was delayed for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and Monster High was delayed by MegaBloks for an entire year after initially being revealed at a toy fair. But this would be unheard if TLC actually delayed these sets after revealing them. I'm guess either that site doesn't know an exact date and is estimating so when it comes out before they get praise or that's an European release date, which always seems later than the US in almost everything.

It won't let me upload the file but I also have the instructions posted to the Lego Club in 2011 about the Mystery Van. It was a red and yellow version and they alluded to Scooby Doo by referencing Scooby's backstory as one of the ways you can play with the van. You can find it online but it has to be through an archive. This agrees with what the Haunted House designer wrote on Brickset about the Monster Fighters line and how they envisioned it years before it came out.

SCOOBY DOO cross-promoted with LEGO MAGAZINE in 1998: Evidence and Photos to Prove It Pass this to everyone you know... Thanks to a Netherlands site archiving past LEGO magazines, TLC and SCOOBY DOO did indeed partner for one issue. They included a lengthy comic and even a page devoted to the sweepstakes where you could have LEGO sets delivered to your house by Scooby Doo and gang in a mystery machine (obviously a gimmick). Here is the full issue which presents this evidence. http://www.miniland.nl/LEGOclub/lego%20mania%20magazine%20sep%20oct%201998.htm

Hi, I am looking for instructions from Lego's recent "Let's Build Together" site, buildtogether.com. I am having issues finding these instructions: Brickenstein Large Vampire BrickTron Any help would be appreciated.

This topic really needs to be pinned.
