I know, I know, but they are out so long, so they should retire. They bring out new 3in1 sets so I really dont get why they continue them, because naturally it will cannibalize sales (but what do I know with a huge stack of 31058 and 31088)

As things stand, 31088 is scheduled for 2023 reitement. 31058 is 2022. 
31058 has been such a good seller that it has been extended in the past.

31058 will never die. 31102 was the 3 in 1 to get this year

Thx for sharing about the instructions app and the retired flags on it, didn't realize that the app even existed...  I finally got around to downloading it, is it an exhaustive list?  I noticed that at least one set is missing from 2021, the mini Disney castle, set #40478.  Is that expected?

Is this the end?

Called all my stores and they haven't received any stock since the first week of December.

It's also on sale and the store inventory checker is not available on the PDP?

There are not instructions for all sets.

2024 is the scheduled exit date at present.

quick glance through, notable movers against their same list published last month, 75302 shuttle now going end of 2022 not 2023, and 75292 Razorcrest not on 2022 list

I wouldn't put too much stock into this latest list...some of the entries will end up being accurate, but it's so early in the year that there will be a number of sets that go off of and come onto the list before all is said and done.

I would guess that most will be correct, simply based on life-cycle. Of course, among the sets you really care about is where the movement will be. For example, if I had to guess, Pooh won't go but Ideas certainly could use a big wave with so many sets coming and some of them being quite old.

Strange, still available in uk

Swiss one says retired as well, probably an error. 

[crayxlp]

Lego dot com USA a lot of sets are now “officially” marked as Retired. Noticed as they are gone from my “Retire” wishlist.

The problem I have with this "account.wishlist.unavailable.product" is that one of my wishlist items turned to this status 2 days ago, but I have no way of figuring out which item it was. It must have been something I still wanted to get, so curious how I can find this out. Inspecting the page source code does not help unfortunately. Anyone any tips?

Sets I've noticed gone so far: Destiny bounty ,demon bull king, Spidey pack with Ned (These are HOT Cakes, I sold the last of mine last week for$45),dragon dance guy. Still deducing more but its a good memory game.

*Spidey pack still there(Sold out)I thought it was in my wish list still ,and gone.

Seeing as I have been away for a long time- I feel stupid for even asking this but did the Death Star ever retire and stay gone? Both versions 10188 and the newer version?

..yep  both gone.

[starwarsxpress]

so does anyone here have the 31200 lego Star Wars artwork for personal ? trying to decide to get 0 1 or 3 of these things before they are gone. the 3 panel vader looks great but then think I might rather buy a set worth 350 before I spend 350 on this

Probably not the best thread for this… but I do have it as part of my personal collection. The build experience is painful but it looks great on the wall. If I had to choose between this and Lamborghini sian I would choose the Lamborghini 10 times over for the build. But for display these are some of the coolest sets ever. To keep on topic they are probably retiring and will be average investments imo.

I have to agree.  I didn't build the Vader but I built Maul.  It really pops and looks a lot better than it does in the box photos.

Where did you sell your 40343?  I can't remember if I still have my stash or not but I can't get the search to come up on Amazon.

You might look at it like this.  There's only so much shelf space you have and here's a way of expanding on to the walls 😃

And I'd agree with @stuco191  It's more about the display than the build.

Most on BrickLink $43.21 was the highest, not quite my embellished $45 but also 2 local for $35ea, all in last month, thanks to the movie bump.
