richiej1979 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 When do we think the Ninjago Movie range will retire? From what I've been reading and learnt so far I think these are some of the best looking sets Lego have ever done. Quote

The Builder Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Hi, what Lego sets do you think will be retiring soon? I bought the Lego two-face chase set before it retired. My question is, does the price go up for retired sets? And how do you know when it will retire? Quote
Val-E Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 The Batcave has been retiring soon for almost a year now. 1 Quote
The Builder Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 That's good to know, is there a way to tell if it will retire? Quote

The Builder Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Does the price rise when a set retires? Quote
HandyHand Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 8 hours ago, The Builder said: Does the price rise when a set retires? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Take for example LEGO Star Wars 75140 Resistance Troop Transporter. It retired December 2016 (USA), early 2017 (Europe). The LEGO RRP (recommended retail price) was $69.99 (USA), €69.99 (Germany), €79.99 (Netherlands). Until now this set is still available on Bricklink for about 50% off RRP, one year after it retired! Okay, granted, that's one of the worst examples I could give. But price/value rise of a set after it retires is not a given. It really depends on the set, on the prolonged demand for it after it officially retires, on the amount produced of the set while it was in production, on the amount of rare / unique minifigs or printed LEGO elements included in the set. Just so you know: there are plenty of Brickpicker members here who have been in this 'game' for years, who still struggle to only pick the right sets that will increase in value after retirement, and to avoid the bad sets that completely fail to increase in value (so called turds on this site ). It's not an exact science but based on sentiments and unpredictable effects. 2 Quote
The Builder Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I found some websites ware they tell you about which sets are retiring soon, If you want to know, go and search on the web for (What Lego Sets Are Retiring Soon) And see what you get. Quote
