LEGO is a company that’s constantly announcing and releasing new sets. And since production capabilities and retail shelf space are in limited supply, these sets can’t stay available forever. That’s why LEGO is also constantly retiring sets. Since no one wants to miss out on buying a set they’ve had an eye on, it’s good to know what’s going away and when. Below, we’ve hand-picked some of the coolest sets that are scheduled to retire this year. Let’s take a look.
These Sets Are Retiring Soon
LEGO Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck
One of the most popular LEGO sets with our audience for the past year, this Tallneck from Horizon Forbidden West is ridiculously cool.

LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter

LEGO Minifigure Series 24 - 6-Pack
LEGO churns through the various series of minifigures pretty quickly. These ones are going away in April 2023, to make way for the Disney 100 sets, and (presumably) series 25.

LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System
All the cool kids from the '80s and '90s had one of these gray wonders, fueling our gaming habits for life.

LEGO Star Wars BD-1
Look at that little droid face. BD-1 made its debut in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and it continues its rein of cuteness in Jedi: Survivor.
$99.95
LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama
Yoda's home is Luke's training ground. This display set looks positively swampy, and I especially love the X-Wing wing poking out of the water.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star Trench Run Diorama
The climactic sequence in the original Star Wars film when Luke pilots his X-Wing through the trenches of the Death Star gets re-created in this display-worthy diorama.

Things get tense in the Death Star trash compactor -- and the walls here actually do compress.

This set from the Ultimate Collector's Series might be pricy, but it's a big statement piece that's all but guaranteed to spark conversation.

LEGO Technic The Batman – Batmobile
Batman's vehicle looks downright beastly in this LEGO Technic set that features working steering, two light-up bricks, and a spinning flame.

LEGO Ideas Sonic The Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone
Sonic, we hardly knew ye. This Green Hill Zone set is awesome, but it's on the chopping block (even as new Sonic sets are coming in August). Pick up this one before it goes the way of Sega's hardware business.

The Mandalorian's ship is a very cool piece of space tech, and this LEGO version really does it justice.
$139.99
