It’s always advantageous to have advance word whenever LEGO decides to halt the manufacture of a set. But no the time will come when a certain set will be retired from the ever-changing product catalog, and the remaining units of that set stand a chance of becoming valuable. Those who are very new to the LEGO collecting experience may probably assume that the sets coming out would keep on doing so indefinitely. Author bluephotographs800 Posted on NovemNovemCategories LEGO News, Retiring Sets Leave a comment on Retiring Set Alert: LEGO “Ghostbusters” Firehouse Headquarters (75827) List of Retiring LEGO Sets Revealed in Christmas Catalog The usual practice is that when LEGO announces a set retirement, their factories have already stopped making them and when has run through their stock of those sets, that’s when the Retired label appears on the listing. If there are any LEGO collectors who haven’t acquired any of the three above, or are worried that an un-bought set was included in the list, they should start checking and major retail platforms like Amazon. A sci-fi spaceship and two building sets (one from a franchise) are among the most prominent of the 200 LEGO sets announced for retirement. Soon we must say goodbye to the likes of the Ideas Old Fishing Store ( 21310), the UCS Snowspeeder ( 75144), and the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters ( 75827). No less than one LEGO Ideas set and a LEGO Star Wars UCS was listed. No less than 200 individual sets from across all LEGO product lines are looking to bow out sometime soon. It turns out they were just the tip of an iceberg’s worth of retiring LEGO sets. Sometimes it’s one set taking a bow other times its’ a lot like the wave of announced retirements we covered weeks ago. Sooner or later, all LEGO sets, several years on after their release if they’re popular (or less than a year if they’re not) will be retired from production. It doesn’t seem to have a discount here, but it’s probably better than nothing. If collectors miss it now, they might miss it forever.Īlternatively, one might find that Amazon has its own stock of Detective’s Office (10246) that can be gotten via Prime shipping. All sets announced as “retiring” have in fact already stopped being manufactured so LEGO believes they may not have enough “Detective’s Office” sets left to keep from selling out with Black Friday’s discount.Ĭonsidering 20% off means the LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office (10246) is going to be worth $127.99, that’s a major markdown for a set that’s going to be running low. The answer’s rather simple: LEGO’s holding units of 10246 from being sold. How’s that going to happen when it’s out of stock not just online but reported at LEGO branded stores as well? According to this other report, the Detective’s Office (10246) is supposed to be one of the spotlight sets for LEGO’s Black Friday Exclusives and Sales specifically, it’s to be discounted by 20% from November 23 to 26. One of them is the LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office (10246), which is also currently listed as being out of stock on wait. If you’ve been keeping up with LEGO news here with us on The Brick Show, you may recall an update detailing the first wave of announcements on LEGO sets soon to retire.
