brickvoyeur Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Sets released per year. This time I went through it with a fine tooth comb and removed anything that you couldn't find on the shelves normally, and non-traditional building sets. Source Brickset: All sets less: (Books, CMF, Dimensions, Education, Gear, Promos, Video Games, etc.) 2023: 553 2022: 568 2021: 601 2020: 575 2019: 514 2018: 540 2017: 513 2016: 498 2015: 489 2014: 462 2013: 410 2012: 386 Right now on Lego SAH there are 922 different sets available for purchase.

Expand That's some interesting data. I assume that the 922 is a peak number even though set quantity released since 2021 is downward. I assume that has more to do with the extension of the shelf life of available sets. Is there any data on average shelf life / time? Quote

Is there any data on average shelf life / time? Expand Average shelf life still looks to be 24 months. There are a decent number of sets each year that get the 18 month treatment, and a good amount that get 12 months or less. Still some are extended well beyond 24 months based on sales. I wouldn't call it a downward trend at this point. You have a correction after 2020 where they produced a ton to meet new demand. And now they've moved more dollars towards the high end adult market. The consumer dollars are spent on fewer sets at a higher cost, which still takes from availability to spend on the secondary market. On 10/20/2023 at 1:37 PM, Pseudoty said: It can be pulled from Brickset if someone on here has the skills. Expand About 75% of sets get that 24 month treatment. Nearly 100 sets released in 2022 got 12 months or less. 2023 currently has 79 sets on tap to retired in 12 months or less. But most of these usually are small sets, polybags, Mario, and other various turds. Edited October 20, 2023 by brickvoyeur 1 1 Quote
ManAetherslime14 Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 It's been a year now, and I am still wondering why the following summer 2022 sets retired so soon: 10778 Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy's Fairground Fun 41710 Surfer Beach Fun 60331 Touring Stunt Bike 60340 The Blade Stunt Challenge 60344 Chicken Henhouse 60345 Farmers Market Van 60347 Grocery Store Anyone have an idea why these sets retired after only 4-6 months on shelves? I honestly do not think poor sales caused these sets to retire, as they were listed on the Brick Fanatics May-December 2022 retiring lists. Now this year, 60398 Family House & Electric Car is about to retire. Only launched in June/August; was on the Brick Fanatics July-October 2023 retiring lists. Quote
