10 retiring LEGO sets well worth buying with double points
Get a headstart on must-have LEGO sets that are due to retire this year by making the most of the LEGO Insiders double points event.
It might only be January but if there are a lot of LEGO sets on your wishlist that are retiring at the end of the year, it’s probably wise to separate out your purchases throughout the year. In fact, there’s no better to tick off some soon-to-retire LEGO sets than during the limited-time LEGO Insiders double points event.
Earning double points right now means you earn the equivalent of 10% cashback on those sets, meaning the more you spend, the more points will appear in your account to redeem for LEGO vouchers down the line. The double points are only available for a few more days, until January 24, so move fast to double your cashback.
Here’s a look at some sets across LEGO Star Wars, Icons, Ideas, and more that are well worth picking up before they retire at the end of the year.
75257 Millennium Falcon
For those who don’t have the budget or the space for the enormous LEGO Star Wars UCS 75192 Millennium Falcon, 75257 Millennium Falcon is a welcome smaller version. With a range of modern minifigures from the sequel trilogy and a brick-built Falcon that’s large enough to capture the well-loved details, 75257 Millennium Falcon is certainly a set that any LEGO Star Wars fan will enjoy both building and displaying.
21327 Typewriter
Capturing the retro feeling of an old-school typewriter in stunning sand green, 21327 Typewriter is a popular set from the LEGO Ideas theme – but every set’s time on shelves has to come to an end at some point. For this LEGO Ideas model, that time is the end of the year, so if you’ve had your eye on the build, now is the perfect time to buy, scoring yourself a massive 3,440 LEGO Insiders points – the equivalent of £21.49 / $24.99 / €24.99 cashback.
76423 Hogwarts Express Train Set with Hogsmeade Station
When looking for a LEGO Harry Potter set, you can’t go wrong with a brick-built version of Harry’s own entrance to his wizarding education: 76423 Hogwarts Express Train and Hogsmeade Station. The red and black train sits on its own buildable rails, paired with a cute building and station for Hogsmeade Station itself, ideal for both play and display.
75290 Mos Eisley Cantina
A mammoth LEGO Star Wars set, 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina is big enough at its 3,187 pieces to capture every grimy detail of Tattooine’s underbelly. There are various side builds to flesh out the landscape, including two landspeeders and a buildable Dewback. Plus, you can easily remove the domed roof to reveal the detailed interior within.
42162 Bugatti Bolide Agile Blue
Based on a unique car, 42162 Bugatti Bolide Agile Blue features various authentic features, from the V12 engine to the iconic scissor doors that its real-life counterpart is known for. One of the cheaper sets on this list, it’s an ideal choice for car lovers – and one that won’t be available to get after the end of this year.
75365 Yavin 4 Rebel Base
The long-awaited LEGO Star Wars version of 75365 Yavin 4 Rebel Base includes an exciting array of minifigures, capturing the triumphant moment for the Rebels when they’ve destroyed the first Death Star. The base itself is open at the back, including rotating stud shooters and interior details like stickered Death Star plans.
76422 Diagon Alley: Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes
The shop that brings colour to Diagon Alley, 76422 Diagon Alley: Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes is a vibrant set that captures some of the real magic that goes into the joke store. With double points, you’ll earn £8.49 / $8.99 / €8.99 cashback – well worth a purchase before it disappears from shelves at the end of the year.
10320 Eldorado Fortress
Any LEGO pirates fan needs to add 10320 Eldorado Fortress to their collection – and you now have less than a year to do it. That means now is the perfect time to buy the iconic set, capturing the colour and drama of pirate life at sea in its 2,509 pieces.
43227 Villain Icons
Earn a whopping 2,000 points in one fell swoop by ordering 43227 Villain Icons before January 24. Not only that but you’ll score a creative set inspired by some of Disney’s most iconic villains, including Maleficent, Gaston, and Jafar Genie, with references to still more famous Disney stories.
10321 Chevrolet Corvette 1961
An icon from car history, capture the beauty of the Corvette in 10321 Corvette before it retires at the end of the year. If you order before January 24, you’ll earn yourself the equivalent £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99 in cashback – so move fast before other people get the same idea.
