To continue an earlier thread, here are the sets listed on S@H as "Retiring Soon":

 

Friends - Stephanie's Cool Convertible, Olivia's Speedboat, Mia's Bedroom, Series 1 foil packs

Duplo - Train Starter Set, Doctor's Clinic, Emergency Helicopter

Creator - Apple Tree House

Lego Games - Ninjago, Pirate Plank

Chima Speedorz - CHI Battles, Ring of Fire, Target Practice, CHI Waterfall

Technic - Mini Container Truck

LOTR - Gandalf Arrives, Orc Forge

CMF - Series 9

Architecture - Sugnyemun

Marvel Super Heroes - Captain America's Avenging Cycle

Star Wars - Endor Rebel Trooper and Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, Planet Bespin & Twin Cloud Car, Planet Endor & AT-ST

 

Nothing earth-shattering.  Orc Forge surprises me the most.

Brick Fanatics is the National Enquirer of the Lego world. I take everything with a grain of salt that they put out as they’re often way off target with their “forecasts” and made up sources.

Originally that early in year it will show that.  Usually the exclusive extensions come Sept/Oct.  The list was right at that time though.  Just how the exit dates work.  There's even some discrepancies direct from Lego and the upcoming store planograms at the end of the year which is amusing.

Brickfanatics list is great.  I think they know more about what is retiring than Lego does lol

no real surprises here

I definitely have to disagree...if this list is remotely close to factual...there are some great hidden gems in there! Time will tell....the list seems a little too inclusive to me...

I was surprised to see 10780 retire mid-year.  The minifigs sell for more than the street price.  I think that I'll take a chance with that one.

42096 Technic Porsche just won't go away lol

I'm pretty annoyed with this as well, they should have been gone two years ago. I still have five left and just trying to get rid of them.

They're getting their info straight from the source.

I never show my hand...I just know that if you think outside of the box...there will be money to be made on a number of these sets.

Is the 2600 a dud? Thats a fast retirement. I think it's a cool set but I'm old 👴

I'll be shocked by Police Station. Maybe if they drag AS out another year.

I don't think you need to think outside the box. The likely winners seem fairly obvious. The real problem is having enough money to hold a nice supply!

It's actually a good set to part out - and I'd buy more if LEGO hadn't enforced such a ridiculously low limit.  There's a decent range of in-demand parts/colours and I've been surprised by the demand for the minifigures; definitely one to consider if you have a Bricklink store (especially if you can combine it with an offer or two!).

I want the Atari kid fig & the Centipede statue to put on top of my machine

Or getting enough supply, especially for exclusive set. 

Especially when nearest lego store is hours away😆
