yeah but it goes vertically over 2 bricks height wise as well
I think you're judging by the blue bricks along the right border. But the stickers are applied to green bricks that look to be larger single pieces. (click on the image for a better view)

So the stickers will need to be lined up perfectly or it will look pretty bad. Disappointing.
Mansion is cool, love the greenhouse. Strange how they went with brickbuilt clock when they had a printed one they could of used. I do like the color scheme but not sure how well that would blend with Vampyre's Castle. Might have to find a way to blend it with my Joker Funland Halloween scene instead and do a crossover with Batman.

I'm feeling optimistic due to the subdued colors of the castle. My castle is currently deconstructed, but I can't remember any elements vibrant enough to clash with the purple on the scooby set.

Yeah there are hinge pieces above and below the logo, don't forget guys the descriptions from the toy fair say that the back opens up to show their "HQ" so to speak.

This is me and LEGO stickers.
I'll need 2 Mystery Machines if I apply stickers. I have yet to apply any stickers to my LEGO since coming out of my dark ages.

May be a reversible head with no glasses and her squinting to see. Anyway both my kids and i grew up with Scooby Doo so these set are all a must have.
ah I see, phew. I thought they had a no stickers across bricks policy. Glad to see I was mistaken
Please don't post them here, but some prelims for the 2H Ninjago sets have been discovered:

So many dragons and gitd pieces! They knew exactly how to pull me back in.

They don't. See: the Maersk container ship released last year. Somehow that one came and went very quietly, I don't see ANYONE discussing it.

Hmmm. That black mech is pretty much exactly a four-armed Samurai Mech. And I see Nya in the set. Neat.

I, well more like my wallet, was sort of glad when Galaxy Squad came to an end and I didn't pay much attention to Ultra Agents line but after two set I might have to pick up the rest when big sale come along especially the big HQ truck.

I love all the trans blue and orange red in this set and black vehicle is nice contrast to the all white Galaxy Squad. However, the villains in this series are more vary and interesting than all the bugs from Galaxy Squad. Hive Crawler aside, the rest of the bad guys in Galaxy were pretty forgettable.

LEGO really have nice printing on the mini-figures too bad most of them get cover up by the armor but it's great that they put in all these details. And I love that the older version of Solomon Blaze.

Ultra Agents by antiquegamer, on FlickrThe Shuttle's proportions seem to be wrong. Too big cockpit.
The Final Duel looks kind of cool actually. Even bigger and accurate diorama would be wonderful... ("UCS Final Duel" or "UCS Emperor's Throne Room")
I wonder if the SW7 sets will leak...
EDIT about the Final Duel set, what kind of piece count/price we're looking at?

I'd imagine that Disney hired a whole extra batallion of lawyers just to keep any SW7 info locked down tight.
No doubt.
What Mark Hamil said about the security was fun. He had to wear a robe when outside because reporters used drones to try to get pics...
If they leak, it is likely closer to the sets release, i guess.

The prelim bionicle stuff definitely has alot of placeholder parts, but I'm sold. Glad to have equal villians as well as the mask maker duel.
I'll be buying em all.

Not really a fan of the 2015 bionicle summer sets. The color schemes are all over the place and use waaay too many transparent pieces. One of the reasons I was turned off by hero factory.
Although Ekimu looks good but I probably won't get a $25 set just for him. Skull basher looks kinda cool I guess. Skull Warriors bow seems pretty badass but he's away too blurry to really get an idea of what he looks like.

Whoa. The Throne Room looks cool. And the Imperial Shuttle is looking really really good.
Oops - totally didn't notice that Zerojul had posted a link to these prelims way before I did. Sorry!
The Ninjago sets look even weirder than usual. The 2 mechs battling each other just look like a Bionicle set. I'll probably pick up some of those Airjitzu sets.

Exactly like the rumors save for a few details.
Skull Slicer has a whip, which is neat, and it looks like they might actually do the four armed gearbox idea.
Skull Scorpio looks very odd. There's probably a function built into its tail.
Thanks for posting these!
Chezzymann

Oooh, if they actually do that then I'l have to get Skull Slicer just for the build alone. I'll try to get past the trans green messing up his color scheme

Just remember these are prelims and can vary quite a bit. Most pieces are placeholders.
It wouldn't really take a complex build. You just put three gears on each side and have the top and bottom gears connect to arms.
GK733 on Eurobricks provided a neat concept.
Also, I just noticed that the sets have ribs. That will definitely look nice.
There's a seam, so it's a separate piece of plastic. Lego tends to not give the animal figurines any articulation, but maybe they'll make an exception for Scooby.
Is it just me, or when you look at scooby's neck does it seem that the head will rotate and/or possibly be removable?

I feel like, given the exxagerated facial expression, there will be another more static face for scooby in the set.
Thanks for the welcomes everyone!
Scooby Doo sets look great! I love the design of the Mystery Machine, though I do wish it was a little bit bigger.
Velma is exclusive to the Mansion set, right? That's kind of a bummer, though I was probably always going to buy it. The lighthouse sounds cool too.

Yeah, they said there were two versions of Scooby so it makes sense that they'd let you swap heads, that's a cool idea! I wonder if it'll be able to sit on top of a regular Minifig body :O
Yeah the Mansion is the only set that comes with Velma. That way the minimum spent to get the whole gang is $120, which really isn't that bad when you consider if they did the Mystery Machine and Mansion as one set with that many minifigs it'd very likely be that price anyway.
Plus those two sets will just look great together, the van parked out front, creepy tree and man eating plant over by the greenhouse, the gang searching for clues together.
God August is soooooo far away D:
Gotta make sure the fan-favorite character is in the priciest set, LOL.

In the mansion picture you can see the head's turned the other way despite being the same fig (standing up with right paw raised), so yes it does seem to rotate:

Don't worry, there are plenty of other things to empty your wallet until then. Like Pirates and Mixels soon.

My fingers are crossed that it is interchangeable with minifig heads. I think we have seen enough to know the head turns.

Man, rewatching the Star Wars movies isn't good for your budget. There's plenty of stuff I'd like to get, even though realistically I've got nowhere to put it.
UCS R2-D2 can still be had for roughly the original cost (in Sweden), but I'm thinking about maybe parting it together. I have tons and tons of little Technic stuff I'll never use so it would be a good way to spend some of that. But it's probably more expensive than actually just buying the whole thing. Anyway, I'm gonna look up the rare stuff and maybe secure that first.
Edit: It seems like only a few parts are actually rare. I put in an order for those for about $15... kind of a deposit, the rest I can easily get later.

There are many items marked down including the LEGO movie store exclusives. I grabbed rescue reinforcements, flying flusher, and creative ambush.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Stopped halfway in Camper Van. Man it's so exhilarating!
With that said I wish lego would sort stuff by colors from the get go. 30 mins of my building time was spent organizing them by color.

Ok Gents and Gals,
I'm starting to put together a video to try and get some more votes for the marshmallow man on lego ideas. I've put together a rough cut of what I had in mind, imagine some titles at the start and some stills/pics of stay puft and the gatekeeper/keymaster/walter peck minifigs at the end with some "go vote for it on lego ideas" text
http://youtu.be/Nw8FBtqKFtI
Question is, is this even worth finishing? I've been staring at it too long as I'm working on it I've lost all objectivity. Is it corny/dodgy in a good way or a bad way?
