These 8 Retiring LEGO Sets Are Poised to Be the Hottest Collector Investments of 2026

By newsgame

LEGO continues to introduce jaw-dropping sets, but not all of them can stick around forever. Over the years, the beloved toy company has offered everything from replicas of the Mona Lisa to builds recreating iconic scenes from major franchises, such as Harry Potter or Star Wars. Regardless of a collector’s preference, LEGO releases fresh and exciting sets that cater to a variety of demographics. Unfortunately, some of the company’s most notable products from the past few years are about to be officially retired.

The list of soon-to-be-retired LEGO sets is quite long, but there are definitely a few highlights that collectors will want to keep an eye out for. Whether one’s a fan of history and architecture or a pop culture fanatic, a lot of big-name LEGO sets in these themes will be saying goodbye for good in 2026. Some of the best LEGO sets are included in this list, but there are at least a few months before these builds are taken out of rotation. Collectors will still want to act fast, though.

75192 Millennium Falcon

Release Date: September 14, 2017
Retirement Date: December 31, 2026
Price: $849.99
Piece Count: 7,541

Even if you’re not particularly a Star Wars fan, the Millennium Falcon LEGO set is iconic. From its piece count to how amazing it looks when it’s completed, the Millennium Falcon resonates with LEGO builders who love a good challenge that’s also rewarding. Also, this piece is a must-have for those who are trying to build the ultimate Star Wars LEGO collection. Yes, it has a hefty price tag. But once it leaves rotation, it’s likely only going to cost even more. This isn’t the only time that LEGO has retired a Millennium Falcon set, and the past is a good indication of how much more expensive the 75192 model could get. The 10179 edition that launched in 2007 was originally priced at $499, but it’s now being sold for as much as $5,000 online. So, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the 75192 version being sold online for just as much, if not more, in a few years.

10307 Eiffel Tower

Release Date: November 25, 2022
Retirement Date: July 31, 2026
Price: $629.99
Piece Count: 10,001

With 10,001 pieces, the LEGO Eiffel Tower gets the bragging rights of being one of the company’s biggest sets by piece count. There are a lot of fantastic LEGO sets coming in 2026, but the Eiffel Tower is one of the most iconic of the past few years. Its sheer size makes it impressive enough, but it’s also a fun and brilliant way to pay homage to one of the most notable pieces of architecture in the world. LEGO collectors who enjoy complex builds should have this in their collection. Being able to complete the build is a solid achievement, and it’s bound to draw a lot of attention from other collectors once it’s taken out of production. This is another set that seems primed to get a hike in price when reselling it online.

21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale

Release Date: April 1, 2024
Retirement Date: July 31, 2026
Price: $359.99
Piece Count: 3,745

A lot of collectors who own this set already have a good investment on their hands, simply because this Dungeons & Dragons LEGO set is difficult to fully complete. When this set was launched, a collection of Minifigures based on characters from Dungeons & Dragon‘s lore was also released. However, those who missed out on their release may have trouble collecting all 12. So, for Red Dragon’s Tale owners who also happen to have the entire Minifigure set, it’s a one-two punch of a good investment. Even without the Minifigures, Red Dragon’s Tale is still going to be a unique addition to one’s collection, though. Red Dragon’s Tale remains the only Dungeons & Dragons set that LEGO has made, and it’s unclear when another one will be announced, making this one particularly special.

77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1

Release Date: September 1, 2024
Retirement Date: July 31, 2026
Price: $299.99
Piece Count: 2,500

The Legend of Zelda and Nintendo lovers will want to consider adding this piece to their collection. As the very first Legend of Zelda set, the Great Deku Tree marks a major moment for the beloved Nintendo franchise. It appeals heavily to Legend of Zelda fans, but it’s also just a great display piece, as well. Yes, there is a new Legend of Zelda LEGO set scheduled to launch in March 2026, but adding the very first one to a Nintendo-focused collection is a must.

21359 Italian Riviera

Release Date: August 7, 2025
Retirement Date: December 31, 2026
Price: $299.99
Piece Count: 3,251

What makes this one such a good investment is its shockingly short rotation. LEGO’s Italian Riviera is only a few months old, but it’s already being scheduled for retirement. Between the picturesque buildings towering over the blue water bricks, as the little LEGO citizens go about their days, and the attention to detail in spaces like a fisherman’s shop and a typical Italian kitchen, it’s a great display piece. LEGO Ideas is a collection that covers a large area of interest, and there are several other sets in this category that are being discontinued. The Italian Riviera is one of the most charming and largest, though.

10335 The Endurance

Release Date: November 29, 2024
Retirement Date: December 31, 2026
Price: $269.99
Piece Count: 3,011

Apart from the Titanic, the Endurance is one of the most notable shipwrecks in history. The doomed voyage made a mark on the history of sailing, and it’s also one of LEGO’s most interesting sets of the past few years. Between its solid piece count and focus on history, the Endurance is bound to be an eye-catcher for collectors who love standout builds that boast a lot of clever details. The deck alone requires small, intricate pieces to be properly placed, making it a fun challenge.

10341 NASA Artemis Space Launch System

Release Date: May 15, 2024
Retirement Date: December 31, 2026
Price: $259.99
Piece Count: 4,601

This is another great one for history buffs and detail lovers. Space exploration is cool enough, but getting to build a recreation of a launch with LEGOs adds an extra dose of coolness. LEGO is no stranger to space-focused sets. There’s even going to be a Project Hail Mary LEGO set released in March in honor of the Ryan Gosling movie’s launch. This set honors 2022’s Artemis I launch, and with Artemis II gearing up to take off in the next few weeks, this set is ideal for space and history lovers who want a special piece that’s going to be even more special in the years to come.

21363 The Goonies

Release Date: November 1, 2025
Retirement Date: December 31, 2026
Price: $329.99
Piece Count: 2,912

The Italian Riviera’s shelf life was short enough, but The Goonies LEGO set wins the award for having the shortest lifespan on this list. LEGO sets based on movies are nothing new, but The Goonies‘ icon status combined with nostalgia makes it a build that film fanatics are going to want to grab before it’s too late. This isn’t just a fun set based around one of the most beloved movies of the 80s. It’s going to be a rare piece of pop culture memorabilia.
