Do retired LEGO sets really rise in value over time?

With multiple LEGO sets due to retire at the end of 2025, do all such departing models manage to hold their value on the secondary market?

We’re nearing the end of 2025, with mere weeks to go until a new year rolls around once again. The good news is that we still have LEGO Insiders Weekend and LEGO Black Friday to look forward to, with a selection of GWPs, rewards, sales and more on the horizon.

In addition, multiple LEGO models will also be bidding us a fond farewell at the end of 2025, vanishing from shelves and online for good, with the often cost-prohibitive secondary market usually being the only option for sourcing such builds once they’ve retired.

However, that’s not always necessarily true, as our very own Matthew reveals in his latest video. Under the microscope are a number of LEGO sets that retired at the end of 2024, with a few having seen price rises, some that have stayed roughly the same and others that have dropped like a stone.

While some LEGO fans are happy to hoard sealed boxes in their attics for future investment, others simply want to add the builds to their collections without having to pay a pretty penny.
