Every LEGO set retiring in 2021 – October update

All five of this year’s LEGO advent calendars slot into our updated list of sets retiring by the end of 2021, which also sees two models pushed back to 2022.

A LEGO Super Mario Expansion Set and a LEGO Harry Potter BrickHeadz three-pack were both originally scheduled to leave shelves in 2021, but will now remain available into next year. Scroll down to their respective theme lists for more details, then reshuffle your LEGO buying priorities accordingly.

Those changes point to the ongoing flexibility of this list, so keep an eye on Brick Fanatics every month for the latest word on the next batch of LEGO sets due to retire. For the moment, here’s a theme-by-theme breakdown of every single LEGO set we’ll be saying sayonara to before the year’s out.

Some of these products could easily see generous discounts across LEGO VIP Weekend, Black Friday and Cyber Monday next month, but if you’re really keen on any of them, it might be wiser to grab them just in case they sell out before then.

LEGO Star Wars

There’s little to no change in the retiring list of sets for LEGO Star Wars in December 2021, with the only addition being 75307 Star Wars Advent Calendar. Make sure you get the seasonal set before the year is through for the exclusive Mandalorian minifigures.

Otherwise, one of the first sets in the LEGO Helmet Collection, 75276 Stormtrooper Helmet, will retire by December 2021 alongside the two Star Wars Brick Sketches.

LEGO Ideas 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay

Still retiring by the end of December is 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay, as the Captain and crew of the Black Seas Barracuda sail into the horizon one more time. Two other LEGO Ideas models will be leaving the official online store with the re-released 92177 Ship in a Bottle and 21320 Dinosaur Fossils each offering unique building experiences.

LEGO for Adults

The renamed LEGO Creator Expert or LEGO for Adults theme hasn’t seen any newly-retiring sets added to the line-up in September. Anyone who has yet to grab any of the larger sets listed below, including the function-filled 10261 Roller Coaster, will want to do so before December 2021.

10262 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 
10264 Corner Garage
10267 Gingerbread House

LEGO Archictecture

A selection of five LEGO Architecture models are still scheduled for retirement by December, including two of the theme’s skyline builds. The huge 21046 Empire State Building is among the retiring range, with a recreation of the iconic skyscraper not available for purchase for much longer.

LEGO NINJAGO

Jump up, kick back, whip around and spin to LEGO.com before December if you’ve been looking to buy any of the following NINJAGO sets. The full collection of the Epic Battle Sets won’t be available past the end of the year, making their four exclusive ninja minifigures a lot harder to find.

71704 Kai Fighter
71705 Destiny’s Bounty

LEGO Batman/DC Super Heroes

LEGO DC Super Heroes is light on changes in October, with no new sets scheduled for retirement compared to last month. That means that the same range of nine DC and Batman builds is leaving the official online store before the end of 2021, including the massive 76139 1989 Batmobile and its three minifigures.

10919 Batcave
40386 Batman

76160 Mobile Bat Base

LEGO Super Mario

There’s just one change for LEGO Super Mario this month: 71367 Mario’s House & Yoshi Expansion Set will now retire by July 2022 rather than December 2021, so you’ve got an extra six months to grab one of the smaller video game expansions.

The only way to get the larger of the brick-built Bowser figures in 71369 Bowser’s Castle Boss Battle Expansion Set will still be retiring this year, though, as well as two of the Power-Up Packs, for those collecting the alternate costumes for Mario.

71362 Guarded Fortress Expansion Set
71363 Desert Pokey Expansion Set
71365 Piranha Plant Power Slide Expansion Set

LEGO Creator

LEGO Creator collectors will need to act quickly for these eight sets, as a variety of unique models won’t be available for much longer. Outer-space explorers can look to 31107 Space Rover Explorer for a build beyond the stars, with models representing everything you need to discover an alien world and life-form, as well as two other build options – just like every set in the 3-in-1 theme.

LEGO Speed Champions

Racing away from LEGO.com before the end of 2021 are the same five sets as last month, seeing off another full wave of the theme. Anyone looking for a LEGO Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, Nissan or Jaguar on a budget might want to order the below builds before they retire, as the first models to introduce the new eight-stud-wide formula for Speed Champions.

76895 Ferrari F8 Tributo
76896 Nissan GT-R NISMO
76897 1985 Audi Sport Quattro S1
76898 Formula E Panasonic Jaguar Racing GEN2 car & Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY
76899 Lamborghini Urus ST-X & Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO

LEGO Disney

Few themes can cover such a wealth of content as LEGO Disney, with everything from theme parks to mythical dragons represented in the range.

Unfortunately, some of that Disney magic can’t stay on the official online store forever, as the following models are scheduled to retire by the end of the year. This includes 71044 Disney Train and Station, which could pair well if you already have 71040 The Disney Castle or are planning to buy the new 40478 Mini Disney Castle.

10873 Minnie’s Birthday Party
10922 Ariel’s Undersea Castle
10924 Lightning McQueen’s Race Day

LEGO Jurassic World

You don’t have much longer to welcome yourself to Jurassic Park, as the huge 75936 Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage is one of five creations in the theme scheduled for extinction.

If the larger model isn’t to your liking, a previous range of dinosaur-centric builds will be retiring soon too, with 75941 Indominus Rex vs. Ankylosaurus offering enough inspiration to start a Jurassic World display.

75939 Dr. Wu’s Lab: Baby Dinosaurs Breakout
75940 Gallimimus and Pteranodon Breakout

LEGO Monkie Kid

Like many other themes, LEGO Monkie Kid’s list of retiring sets for 2021 remains unchanged for September, with 10 of the legendary creations still scheduled to depart LEGO.com.

While Monkie Kid has been disappearing from shelves in stores, the theme continues to be available online. The show is also streaming on Amazon Prime with the first season’s sets still available for a limited time on LEGO.com too.

LEGO Stranger Things

The fourth season of Stranger Things has just received a brand new trailer, while the LEGO Group’s theme continues to feature just one set.

No other models based on the series have been announced, meaning 75810 The Upside Down might be your only chance to get minifigures for the cast before they return in the upcoming instalment.

LEGO CITY

A huge variety of LEGO CITY sets will be retiring before the end of the year, signalling the end of the road for the following assortment of models.

LEGO Art

Bring some stylish, brick-based decoration to your home with the first wave of LEGO Art sets, all up for retirement by December 2021.

The four original mosaics that kicked off the LEGO Art theme will all be leaving us before the end of the year, meaning time is limited should you have a spot in your home for an artistic tribute to Star Wars or the Marvel Cinematic Universe – or even classic elements of pop culture from over the years.

LEGO BrickHeadz

Pets, holidays and a galaxy far, far away: there’s only one theme where those three topics can come into play, with LEGO BrickHeadz providing the perfect playground for statuettes that encompass all kinds of subjects.

A total of 16 BrickHeadz builds are leaving the official online store soon, including one half of the Minions range in 40421 Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob, and the limited-edition 40490 NINJAGO 10. Collectors of the theme might want to act fast if there’s any missing BrickHeadz on your shelf.

At the same time, 40496 Voldemort, Nagini & Bellatrix will now hang around until 2022, so you’ve got a little more breathing room to grab that one.

These include the cheapest way to get the fearsome Ender Dragon in 21151 The End Battle, and the only set to feature the parrot, dolphin and turtle figures in 21152 The Pirate Ship Adventure.

LEGO Minions

Still scheduled to retire before the end of the year is 75549 Unstoppable Bike Chase, as the only LEGO Minions set to do so before the corresponding film has been released.

Not to worry, though, as five other creations will still be available when the movie releases – but anyone hoping to get the Gru minifigure might want to make a beeline for the bike chase, unless you plan on purchasing 40511 Minions Kung Fu Training.
