July 2026 Retirement

[Brickboy74]

Hey all.  I see there are over 100 sets scheduled to retire on July 31st of 2026 according to Brick Tap.  Do people think this will really happen or will LEGO shift a large amount of these sets to 12/31/2026?  I’ve only been doing this for a few years and have never seen such a large amount of sets scheduled for mid-year retirement…. Just looking for opinions and ideas from someone who knows more than me.  Thanks!

I'd say that there is a close to 100% chance that everything tagged as retiring on 7/13/26 is going to retire at this point.  Although LEGO has made late changes to their retirement dates in the past, I can't recall them ever changing dates this close to the retirement date.  That being said, there is a high likelihood that many of those sets will continue to be available at retail for months to come.  It's not like in the old days when stock routinely started drying up before the retirement date arrived.
