Three LEGO modular buildings are now scheduled to retire in 2023

A total of three different LEGO modular buildings are now scheduled to retire by the end of 2023, including a relatively recent addition to the line-up.

At the moment, five different LEGO modular buildings are available to buy online and in-store: 10255 Assembly Square, 10270 Bookshop, 10278 Police Station, 10297 Boutique Hotel and the newly-released 10312 Jazz Club. But by the end of this year, only two of those will remain – as the rest are currently all scheduled to leave production within the next 11 months.

According to Brick Fanatics’ sources, 10255 Assembly Square, 10270 Bookshop and 10278 Police Station are all heading for the exit in 2023. That’s a slight change from just a month ago, when only 10255 Assembly Square and 10270 Bookshop were on the chopping block. 10278 Police Station originally launched in January 2021, so will have lasted just under three years on shelves if it does retire by December 2023.

That may seem an unusually short lifespan at first glance, given sets from 2017 and 2020 are also still available. But 10255 Assembly Square and 10270 Bookshop are really the exception to the norm: most modular buildings, including 10264 Corner Garage, 10260 Downtown Diner, 10251 Brick Bank and so on, have all enjoyed a three-year stint on shelves.

On the other hand, 10297 Boutique Hotel and 10312 Jazz Club are currently scheduled to retire in 2025 and 2026 respectively, which would give them a total of four years each in production. Within that context, 10278 Police Station is indeed the outlier. Check out the table below for a rundown of retirement dates for all current LEGO modular buildings.

Remember that these are not hard and fast dates: they’re simply the very last point by which you can expect these sets to be available. In all likelihood, they’ll sell out weeks (or possibly months) in advance.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
