I think the Downtown Diner and Winter Village fire station are already retired from late 2020, they just haven't been marked as retired or removed from Lego's site yet.
@@ToyTalkGuys Sorry I missed you saying to check store shelves because these are gone for MSRP online. Maybe there's a Lego store or retailer with some of these retired sets on shelves still but more than likely I think it's too late now. A keen lego buyer would've bought them if they went in store to buy the Jan 1 sets like the police station.
More analysis videos on Ideas, Brickheadz, Harry Potter, Architecture sets please! I often thought that I have a year to decide if I want to purchase a set or not.
during my last visit, the local Lego store manager told me that the followings were retiring soon for sure: 1. roller coaster; 2. flintstone; 3. dino fossil
Cool vid! Honestly, i'd like to hear your thoughts on retiring star wars sets. Also, I'm not a lego city fan, but i would be curios about the passenger train
bonsai and bouquet sets hard to find now, they get sold out at the lego store same day or within like 1-2 hrs after store opened. At least here in San Diego CA
Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Chinese New Year sets. Especially the Spring Lantern Gardens, I feel like their shelf life might be limited on account of them being annual themed, and that specific set would fit perfectly within any modular city, what do you think?
It's not official yet, but it's all but confirmed. I think TLG changes those right around now -- so we should get some confirmations soon. Thanks for the comment :)
This is so sad! Why think about LEGO sets to retire, when you Can Think about all The upcoming LEGO sets? Well, these sets in The video where really cool(especially that Roller Coaster one), so Maybe I should get one or two of Them sooner or later. Great video by The way. Never thought of what`s retiring before actually, so thanks for that, ;-).
Good vid. When I went to the Lego store on Thursday, there was only one VW camper van on the shelves, with a red and white sale sticker on the box. Probably not there anymore !
Wow that was either a return, or your store is having problems with sales, because that has been out since the first few days of December in most parts.
@@ToyTalkGuys And also, one question. is there a reason why older Winter Village sets are getting extreme increases in value. For example, the Winter Post Office (10222) used to be $70 and now it's at around *$500* value for a sealed set.
@@ManAetherslime14 Yes -- values for the first few releases in a series are always significantly more expensive (just look at the Cafe Corner / Market Street / Green Grocer from the Modular Buildings series). The main reason is supply that remains low and demand that stays relatively high -- because it's part of a series that is still receiving updates -- a lot of new collectors want to buy the old stuff.
I keep wondering when the Disney Castle is going away. I definitely need to get that one before it goes away. I'd be curious when the Mario first wave sets will retire. I am having a hard time finding the Mario Series 1 blind bags. Neat video. I look forward to seeing more of these in the future!
Thanks!! I have a Mario video and a 'large sets' video which should include the Disney Castle. I think this is the year for Disney Castle to go, but wait until I make that video to get my final prediction.
@@itm9174 I think almost all the Disney Lego sets (especially Star Wars) are over priced. But which Lego is similar to the Disney Castle but better? I'm not into the micro scale Hogwarts Castle.

@@gators0972 I think you are correct in theory, but I've see TLG mark things as 'Sold Out' only to have them reappear later -- until I see that 'Retired' marker, I'll consider it still not 100% confirmed.
Great video, once again. I do hope 10255 retires. It's been on release for more than four years now, so it must be due soon. Looks like it's time to stock up... The Diner has increased in price on eBay by around 20% since early December - that's good going. But the set that's surprised me is the 42082 Car Transporter. That's been crazy. It's increased by 40% in 4 weeks according to my data. That's been a great investment for anyone. I predict the Land Rover will do the same, so my advice is to stock up on those too. But the wildest increase has been the Ninjago City Docks. The lowest eBay price has increased by 90% (90 percent!) in the last TWO weeks! I've never seen anything move as fast. As soon as the City Gardens came out, then the City Docks was like Nasa had strapped a rocket booster to it. The Ninjago Movie City hasn't moved that much though - there must be more of them out there. Of interest has been 75243. There was some movement during the Christmas period, but very little in the last two weeks. It seems to have settled at the £200 mark. And it looks like there are quite a few sellers. Some other sets have also done well in the last month or so. 71702 is moving well. 42056 has also moved a bit (to around £400 now), and Big Red 42082, which finally retired late Nov. That's moved 25% in three weeks. And 70674 is the standout winner - 150% increase in the last two months. Incredible. My advice to anyone would be to grab 10264 Corner Garage through this year - you don't have to rush out today, but it should be on your radar, then you're not fighting for the scraps when it does retire. It's a fantastic set, and big - despite what some say - I reckon it will be popular after retirement. I intend to go big into those while they're still on release. I would also suggest grabbing 10270 while you can. I'm leaving 10278 Police Station this year. No point filling shelves up with this one yet. I personally like 10274, but I'm leaving those for a while. Anyway, another great video from you guys! Keep them coming!
I had a feeling assembly square would retire soon so I was able to get it from Amazon for Christmas which was great since it had been on my wanted list since 2018 when I got my first modular the detectives office. The modular I plan to get later this year is the book shop even though I still have the assembly square and Vestas wind turbine sets sealed and do not plan to sell them because I got them to use in my city which is under construction right now so I really do not want to open a big set.
If it follows the exact same trend as previous sets then you are correct -- it would technically retire in Jan/Feb 2022, but I expect it to be gone by Holiday 2021. Thanks for the comment :)
When do you expect the Jurassic park T. rex Rampage set to retire? I’m trying to get it around 200, but I don’t want to wait too long, since I feel like it’s been out a while.
Ha funny you ask -- the focus of my next set analysis is the Roller Coaster -- I like it for investment -- 1 year gains are solid for similar sets 25-40% in 1 year.
Good question -- it's based on unopened boxes -- opening the boxes definitely depreciates value -- by how much depends on the set and the condition of the opened box -- but you can use half the value as a barometer.
To get the Gingerbread House, I had to check locations where i knew people that lived around them. Example I live in the Northern Midwest, I had it bought and shipped from New Jersey
Has the Wind Turbine already retired? Seems like last time I checked Lego.com it had it listed as sold out instead of out of stock. And I had heard several rumors prior to this video that it might be gone. I hope not! Bc that's the that I never did get..... Thanks in advance and cool video!
Lego ideas is very easy to predict . Sets that will retire this year are Central Perk, Treehouse, Dinosaur fossils and maybe some sets from 2020 International space station
@@ToyTalkGuys The Ninjago line is one of my biggest sellers. Actually, it's currently my biggest seller right now. The minor sets are doing great - 71699 are doing extremely well.

Thank you!! That's what I aim to do :)
Last week I went to Legoland and they had 1 set of assembly square which I took it right away.
Nice grab!!
I just saw three “exclusive “ sets at Target. Harley, Aston Martin and Mustang. They had multiples of these and 5 London buses.
Oh wow -- that's unusual -- I wonder if someone returned an online order -- or is it a massive Target?
@@ToyTalkGuys not a big store at all. I’m probably going to get a bus. This store doesn’t really have a big LEGO selection at all.

I think that may have more to do with regular COVID supply issues -- I don't have high hopes for those sets long term -- but could be wrong.

Oh nice -- thanks for the info!
