In my conversation with Randy, he said that he hasn't finished deciding how much all the discontinued kits will be discounted. Some have their discounts, others haven't yet.

And like you guessed, slow movers are the ones getting the ax (this includes all the Groonies). However, since they make the parts, if a kit you want is out of production and stock, you still can order the parts separately.
