Every LEGO set retiring in 2022 – July update

Our latest round-up of LEGO sets retiring by the end of 2022 comes just as a handful of products leave shelves, with Super Mario, NINJAGO and CITY all seeing sets retire this month.

While most sets on this list should stick around until the end of the year – or relatively close to December – some are pegged for mid-year retirement, so you’ll need to act fast if any of them are on your shopping list. Fortunately, now’s as good a time as any to pick them up before they’re gone, as the LEGO Group is currently offering double VIP points for two days only.

Elsewhere, we’re seeing movement in Technic, NINJAGO and Speed Champions, with multiple sets’ retirement dates pushed back to the end of 2023. That’s good news for your backlog (and your wallet), as you’ve now got a little more time to grab the likes of 76901 Toyota GR Supra and 71770 Zane’s Golden Dragon Jet.

These dates could all yet change, of course, as the LEGO Group is no stranger to shifting around its portfolio on a whim. But according to our sources, these are the sets currently retiring in 2022 (whether in July, December or somewhere in between) at the time of writing.

LEGO Star Wars

As we inch closer and closer to the end of 2022, the prospect of missing out on sets like 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer and 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser becomes ever more realistic. Grab them while you can.

LEGO Disney

There’s just the one change to LEGO Disney this month, as 43189 Elsa and the Nokk Storybook Adventures‘ planned retirement has been pushed back to 2023. ‘Your retirement has been pushed back’ is a phrase we should probably all get used to hearing, to be fair.

LEGO CITY

The LEGO Group operates a strict ‘one in, one out’ policy on its passenger trains, so as a new one arrives on August 1, the current version must leave shelves on July 31. But hey – that’s pretty good timetabling if you ask us.
