    Here you go. Are likes important? ^^ Anyway, I find it interesting that the City Vulcan sets are also seem to be done. They are from last year, so they are not really that old. Did a pretty good

    I'm feeling generous and seems Cladner and Val-E are working to hard at this,  might as well simplify their jobs for the holidays.  Plus some of these need to disappear quicker... 10815

    Chris, I think you're coming in at a time where the LEGO reselling party is coming to an end. I'm not saying there is no more money to be made; what I'm saying is that the ship is full and the general

    Lego has tagged several big ones on the US site. Don't remember seeing a retiring soon tag on a modular before on the N America site. Fossils is there too.

    "Catch these LEGO sets before they're gone forever"...Yeah right

    "forever" is as likely as the typical marriage nowadays

    Depending on store manager, you can also buy the store displays once set becomes retired. My local also didn't glue the sets, and came with box / instructions, so could easily sell.

    SW update: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-eol-end-of-life-2021/

    Changes copied below:

    These are the changes we made to the list:

    • Funnily enough, the EOL date for all LEGO VIDIYO sets has been postponed to the end of 2022. While LEGO has actually paused the theme world, at least according to internal planning at LEGO, the sets have not yet left the range. We have deleted the sets from the table below accordingly.
    • In addition, the LEGO BrickHeadz 40496 Voldemort, Nagini & Bellatrix set has been extended again and will only disappear from the range at the end of 2022. We have also adjusted this accordingly in the table.
    • Due to the clarification from LEGO on the future of baseplates , we have also updated the corresponding text section on our LEGO EOL 2021 list.
    • Old updates that are no longer up-to-date ( LEGO 80010 Demon Bull King and 71044 were meanwhile marked as "Old Product" ) have been reversed.

    In addition, another important topic should be addressed in this update to the EOL list: LEGO recently marked many sets in the LEGO online shop with “soon to be discontinued” . However, this list is not complete! There has been some speculation that the LEGO Ideas 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay is not "End of Life" after all, because it has not yet been marked by LEGO. At the current time, however, to the best of our knowledge , December 31, 2021 is still the EOL date for Pirate Bay. So the set has not been extended (so far)!

    Picked up 75248 today in a store. How much do these sets go up in value? Or do people think this one has reached its peak? thanks

    It's still available at retail. So, no one knows.

    The A-Wing seems to be joining an increasingly longer line of sets that have disappeared from Retail and LEGO sites and stores, only to live on for a year or more at MSRP from Amazon...

    I'm in Ireland and only a handful of stores here have Lego. I saw in one store and bought because I thought it was retired (actually Lego Online says it has).

    I'm learning
