I heard my wife yell from the basement "retired huh? does that mean you can finally get rid of some of this junk?"

It means now I can "officially" hold them for two years in order to make a pretty penny . Time to buy gold .

How long was Black Manta's shelf life? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels like it has been less than a year. Potential sleeper there. Unfortunately I never came across any at Wal-Mart on clearance for $19.

same shelf life as the Darkseid and Brainiac sets I am pretty sure.

LEGO is a better investment than gold. You should know it by now.

not sure it's a good choice to take 75049 and 75054 for two years, maybe neither for more than six months

I think it's about a 90% chance that At-At's will be back for Rogue One.  There's rumors it's on the packaging, so i'd say if there is not an At-At in the September 30th Rogue One Force Friday wave, it will pop up by the January 1st wave.  I'm letting my stash ride for another few months, and then i'm going to release most of mine to the wild.

60057 - Camper Van also retired overnight. Got myself two of these. Cute little set. 

Arctic Icebreaker has been retired for a little while in the AUS shop. Picked one up a couple of weeks back. Was going to get 2 but the second box looked like it had been through the washing machine lol.

I could have sworn that the AT-AT and ISD were already retired. Huh. Glad I still have a few!

AT-AT was marked 'sold out'. Imperial Star Destroyer had indeed already retired before (end of 2015). 

Here you'll find a list of, mostly daily, Star Wars set availability updates during the last two months.

Hi guys,

I just wonder if there is an official way to find a list of just retired sets from Lego. What is the most updated list now? 

From your experience, can you find retired sets from big box stores like Walmart and Target?

First question ... Not really.. The best LEGO does is let you search for the Retired Product tag, but won't let you sort by date retired.

http://search-en.lego.com/?cc=CA&i=1&pt=shop&q=retired&q1=Retired+Product&rank=ca_rank&x1=available

Brickset records the approximate retired date, but has no search option to sort by retired date exists. Not sure about other fan/selling sites though..

Second question ... Sometimes. People post pictures of long retired sets often, especially from those magical Walmarts ex1 shops at who have time machines out back. But it's pretty rare now. Most retired sets get scooped off the shelves pretty quickly unless it's Ninja Turtles, Chima or Dimensions.. and even then, people often scoop them up before good clearances do them in.

Some more information re: " From your experience, can you find retired sets from big box stores like Walmart and Target? "

Different retailers have different practicies: For example, Target - corporate-wide has a pretty strongly regimented product life cycle on their shelves. They go through 2 major clearances a year (Feb/July) - and in general, they move out product even before it's "retired" from shop at home. Wal-Mart has a lot more freedom, and it can vary store by store, so OCCASIONALLY (especially in backwoods Wallies) find a retired set or two. Walmart also has a tendency to pile clearance items in storage, and then unload them onto the floor at various times, which allows the occasional old set to surface. Target does not do this.

Other retailers, like K-Mart - have stuff on their shelves a lot LONGER. For example, at some K-Marts you can find things like Brick Bounty, The Ghost, even wave 1 Chima - All of which are "retired" on shop at home. And the ever popular Mechdragon, which just recently retired from Shop at Home.

Toys R Us is the same way in that they have a lot of flexibility, and since they tend to overprice a bit - retired sets can linger on the shelves a while.

"Retired" simply means the date it is no longer available at Shop At Home. Sometimes these sets can linger at other retailers for quite some time. A good example would be the Toys R Us exclusive "Hydra Fortress Smash" which I believe retired in November officially, but didn't get cleared out of TRU finally until a couple weeks ago. One of mine had a couple Black Gates 8-9 months after retirement on their shelves.

And your own regional stores will have their own policies and gems.
