This thread is for confirmed "Retired Product" status updates as per Lego.com official website.

 

I decided to create this thread as somewhere to keep track of confirmed EOL dates as per Lego "Retired Product" tags.  Leaving the other thread for rumors and speculation (I have been through all 75 pages and pulled any confirmed retirement dates in to here).

 

The "Retired Product" status can be found on Lego.com by searching for "Retired Product", this link should take you there: http://search-en.lego.com/?q=Retired+Product&cc=US

 

Yes a "Retired Product" tag does not mean the set cannot be found at other retailers, but it is an official confirmation that the set is EOL (End of Line) at Lego and that future production and sales have been halted (there may be some exceptions to this and we can never say Lego will never ever bring them back).

 

I'd like to keep this list updated and populated with any changes, so please post them (for the US based Lego Shop at Home only please).  

 

Because the Lego.com site does not have a date when a set is retired I have used the latest stock availability date as recorded at Brickset.com.  On the Lego site many sets get a "Sold Out" tag and/or a "retiring soon" tag, then at some arbitrary time they get a "Retired Product" tag.  If we think about it, the actual date of retirement is the date it goes "out of stock" for the last time.  As such I'd like to start capturing set's "Sold out" status dates as well, but that can be a phase 2 project.  So for now if you spot a new "Retired Product" post it below.

 

This is a table of the most recent few months.  Attached at the bottom is a full Excel spreadsheet with all the sets I could get from Lego.com.  I hope you find it useful or interesting.

Has anyone mentioned that mega bloks now has the TMNT license?

Been thinking about the TMNT thing but I'm don't know if the series done on Mega bloks will help or hurt the Lego versions. I know Lego is way better quality but Mega Bloks do make some good looking sets. I can imagine Mega Bloks very well may look a lot better since I'm new I may have no idea what I'm talking about tho lol. Not sure if a TMNT die hard fan would go down with Lego or just switch to the other side

It's been discussed a few times here and there.  The Turtle Lair is starting to climb, so we're all hoping the continued exposure helps the bottom line.

It's official in EU:

Has anyone seen the hoard horn? I believe these will get devoured this month.

Saw EEE in a lego store yesterday, I have too many other sets to buy so I left it

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Lord business evil lair - 70809 retired on UK / EU / AUS sites.

Checked a few more sets and looks like more have retired on the UK / EU / AUS in the last few days:

70800 - Getaway glider

70802 - Bad cop pursuit

70804 - Ice cream machine

70805 - Trash chomper

70806 - castle cavalry

Dave, could you please expand on the PC info you got in the Retiring Soon Open Speculation thread? This one is only for firm confirmation,not future ones.

Here you go (attached updated excel)

 

Also, I was wondering how you find out what's been recently retired vs previously retired. Do you just remember which sets had been previously retired? or is there a way to sort date or recently retired on the LEGO Shop at Home sites? Thanks!

Not quite sure what you mean, you mean the set numbers?

 

Sorry I think I know what you mean now, must have happened when i was trying to delete duplicates. I'll work on it

eg 9398 is not 4x4 crawler but the description of the previous set in the list. It goes wrong about line 186 of the spreadsheet, I think.

How's this?

Sorted.

just saw X-wing 9493 marked as retired in US so maybe they are finally working on the list

Yes, lots of Chima, City and the last wave of Hero Factory Brain Attack sets are now retired.

Individual pages for many sold out items have no details on them as of now, so perhaps we'll see the mass retirement today.

The sold out search page has two products on it.  The retired product search comes up empty.  Hopefully this is the mass retirment and official confirmation we have all been waiting for.

Why are people anxiously awaiting these retirement status updates? Do you need confirmation of what you've been able to see with your own eyes for months now?

Exactly. It makes it "official", for your definition of "official".

Yes very much.  Anxiously awaiting...  Like Odie

For resale, it makes it easier to say 'retired' when it's actually able to be confirmed by potential buyers.
