The final few copies of some of the biggest and best retiring LEGO sets are still in stock at third-party retailers, but this could well be your last chance to pick them up before they’re gone for good.
It’s that time of year again: when, a bit like Arnie in Jingle All the Way, you realise you’ve left it way too late to grab those LEGO sets you were hoping to buy before they sold out permanently. The good news is that you don’t need to run around the city entering local radio competitions or dressing up as a life-sized action figure: you can just snap up remaining stock at third-party retailers.
All of these retiring sets have already sold out at LEGO.com (and in one case actually retired in 2023), so this is likely your last chance to buy them at retail before having to turn to the aftermarket in 2025 – where several of them will probably be much more expensive. Don’t sleep on them, is all we’re saying…
75257 Millennium Falcon
If 75389 The Dark Falcon’s unusual take on Han Solo’s freighter isn’t doing it for you, make a beeline for Amazon for remaining stock of 75257 Millennium Falcon, a classic take on the ship paired with Rise of Skywalker characters. It’s long gone at LEGO.com, but is still available and even discounted at Amazon UK, where you can currently buy it for £124.99. That’s a £25 saving on its RRP.
75365 Yavin 4 Rebel Base
This LEGO Star Wars playset was heavily discounted at LEGO.com during LEGO Insiders Weekend and Black Friday, but if you missed out on that deal you can at least console yourself with getting a copy brand new in box, at retail, without paying completely over the odds on the aftermarket. 75365 Yavin 4 Rebel Base – and its legion of Rebel Alliance minifigures – is still available at Disney Store in the UK.
75313 AT-AT
Controversy plagued 75313 AT-AT in its final days at LEGO.com, as the LEGO Group slashed the price, took dozens of orders – then cancelled them after misjudging its inventory. Plenty of people hoping to snap up the UCS Imperial Walker just before retirement were left disappointed, but if you were among them, don’t miss the chance to at least buy it at full price at Disney Store. This is one that’s definitely going up in price once it’s sold out for good.
31211 Macaw Parrots
These pastel parrots are flying south for winter this month (parrots do that, right?) after only 12 months on shelves. If you missed that narrow window in which to buy them from LEGO.com, you can still grab 31211 Macaw Parrots from Barnes & Noble in the US – and for 25% off, coming in at just $44.99 in total.
75326 Boba Fett's Throne Room
Believe it or not, Barnes & Noble also has stock left of 75326 Boba Fett's Throne Room, a LEGO Star Wars set that retired from production at the end of 2023. Like 31211 Macaw Parrots above, you can snap this one up for 25% off, or only $74.99. It’s not a bad shout for the minifigures alone, especially if you’re looking for characters to bulk out 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge…
75290 Mos Eisley Cantina
Speaking of LEGO Star Wars minifigures, collectors who have yet to pounce on 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina and its litany of exclusive characters – most of which we’ll probably never see again – should set their sights on Sports Direct, one of the few remaining retailers with stock left of the Master Builder Series set. It’s full price, but that’s still better than whatever it will end up costing on the secondary market next year.
75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder
Another retiring LEGO Star Wars UCS set still in stock at Sports Direct, 75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder is one of the most underrated 18+ sets in recent years, often overlooked for being a vehicle the LEGO Group has revisited too many times to count at minifigure scale. Pass on it at your own peril, though: it’s a great build, and a neat display model not least for operating in a colour scheme other than grey.
Head here for a reminder of every LEGO set retiring in 2024, but bear in mind that most of them have already sold out through official channels. For the best deals on other retiring LEGO sets, remember to check our LEGO deals page daily.
