After the recent reveal of 71031 Marvel Studio Minifigures Series, it's inevitable that some older sets will soon retire. We now have rough information on LEGOs retirement plan for the LEGO Marvel theme with our information going all the way to 2023. This will almost definitely change as more sets are released this year and sales for the certain set either increase or decrease. However, we can say that most of the LEGO Marvel sets that were released in 2019 or 2020 will definitely have retired at the end of 2023. Any big D2C sets usually last quite a few years and always last longer than the smaller more common sets. We'd recommend getting any D2C's as soon as possible as these will quickly increase in price and go for a hefty amount of money in a few years.

After the leak earlier this week, the next LEGO Harry Potter D2C has been officially revealed. 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collectors' Edition is the third LEGO Harry Potter D2C since 2018 and comes after 75978 Diagon Alley. The set is another special 20th Anniversary one with 3 Golden Minifigures and 3010 pieces. It will be available from 2nd September 2021, a month after the initial summer 2021 wave. As you can expect from the piece count, the set will retail for a whopping price of $249.99. This big price is worth it with how many giant LEGO Harry Potter buildable objects you get. There's another buildable Hedwig but this time it's a more detailed and majestic design with her holding. Harry's owl is sat on three different Wizarding world books. The top book that Hedwig is directly sitting on is a Hogwarts red workbook. Meanwhile, the middle one is another Hogwarts workbook but in blue and the bottom one is an opened black book which is meant to represent Tom Riddle's Diary. Hopefully, it has some exclusive print of Harry's writing in the book or something that Ginny might have written. Attached to the pile of books is a Hogwarts scarf that can be swapped to the different house colours for your own personal house. Also attached to the pile of books is a golden snitch which is meant to be flying, Harry's wand, Harry's glasses and Ron's chocolate frog. There are also loads of potions in a small box that belongs to Hermione. These include fan favourites like Gillyweed, Felix Felicis ‘liquid luck’ and Polyjuice potion. The D2C will also become the seventh set this year to include the 20th Anniversary Golden Minifigures. It includes three different Golden Minifigures of Dumbledore, McGonagall and Hagrid. These three Minifigures all sit on a stand that's meant to look like a chocolate frog packaging through its use of purple and interesting shapes. The stand also includes more golden stands that other Minifigures are usually on.

These include 40493 Spider & Haunted House Pack which contains two buildable ornaments and 40497 Halloween Owl which contains a brick-built owl surrounded by pumpkins.

After the recent LEGO Super Mario 2021 Summer sets were revealed a few weeks ago, it's inevitable that some older sets will soon retire. We now have rough information on LEGOs retirement plan for the LEGO Super Mario theme with our information only being about this year so far. This is unlikely to change as we're closing in on the end of 2021 but as more sets are released this year and sales for the certain set either increase or decrease, we could see one or two changes. However, we can say that most of the LEGO Super Mario sets that were released last year will definitely have retired by the end of 2022. The Starter Courses and Maker Sets will be outliers to the rest of the sets and will probably remain on shelves for quite a while as these are the backbones of the theme. Any big D2C sets, like this year's Peach's Castle, will usually last quite a few years and always last longer than the smaller more common sets.

After the recent release of the latest LEGO Creator Expert vehicle set, 10279 Volkswagen T2 Camper Van, it's inevitable that some older sets will retire soon. Especially with how quickly LEGO are releasing sets aimed at Adults and older builders, sets will have to be removed from shelves to make way for these newer ones. We now have rough information on LEGOs retirement plan for the LEGO Creator Expert vehicles with our information going all the way to 2024. This will almost definitely change as more sets are released this year and sales for the certain set either increase or decrease. However, we can say that those that released earlier will most likely retire earlier and those that released later will most likely retire later.

LEGO has just revealed its 36th LEGO Ideas set and the latest to be inspired by a popular sitcom. This time it's based on the Seinfeld sitcom that features the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, Elaine Benes and Newman. The 1326 pieced set, will be available from 21st July 2021 for LEGO VIPs and 1st August 2021 for everyone else. The set from the popular 1990s sitcom is a LEGO version of Jerry's apartment. The scene takes place in Jerry's kitchen and living room with lots of little details and easter eggs. Like the other sitcom sets from FRIENDS, spotlights are hanging over the sets but these ones are hanging higher up and include a different design for the lights. The apartment is technically divided into three different areas with a few doors separating the kitchen, living room and office. The kitchen includes a buildable counter, a fridge with stickers covered with easter eggs, a microwave, an oven and many other kitchen appliances. The living room comes with a sofa and armchair for the Minifigures to sit on, a coffee table, a lamp and a bookshelf that's just a bit behind the sofa. The already mentioned office is very small but still comes an old computer on a table, a chair, a cool office lamp and another technological device that's in the background. The set also includes a side build of Jerry's stage. This is a perfect recreation of his standup show that has enough space for him and a round table. The set comes with five Minifigures which are unsurprisingly the five main characters. All characters come with new facial expressions and Jerry even comes with a new hairpiece. There's also a wide range of accessories included in the set. Things like a blue statue, muffin top, painting of Uncle Leo, videotape, a telephone, a microphone, a pretzel, a fishing rod, a slice of bread and a fish in a bag are just some standouts.

Another LEGO Creator Expert set has been revealed and this one is probably the most surprising of all. 10290 has been revealed to be a brick-built Pickup Truck rather than a rumoured DeLorean. Rumours are only rumours but for 10290 to be a Pickup truck is very random yet a welcomed 18+ set. The LEGO Pickup truck aims to recreate a classic 1950 vehicle. Its rounded lines and boxy shape is a classic giveaway to a historic vehicle. Seeing a big brick-built vehicle that's red makes a nice change and works really well with the neat Green Farm sticker. The inside of the truck is very spacious just like the outside which can fit a wide range of farming accessories. These accessories include a lovely mint green wheelbarrow that comes with 3 pots of different coloured flowers, a watering can, two wooden crates filled with tomatoes, carrots and other vegetables, and a milk bucket. There's also another larger wooden crate filled with pumpkins and there's a nice sign print with flowers on saying 'today's pick'. And finally, if you want to make your build more wintery, you can add a wreath to the Pickup Truck. Set Information Set Name - Seinfeld Set Number - 10290 Ages - 18+ Piece Count - 1677 Price - $129.99 Release Date - 1st October 2021
