There are a couple more days to snap up retiring LEGO sets with double LEGO Insiders points, and there's an option for every possible budget.
No matter how popular a LEGO set is, it will eventually retire, and for over 300 builds, that day is coming up fast. The LEGO Group has officially confirmed hundreds of models leaving shelves by the end of 2025, but with double points and a gift-with-purchase currently available, you've got a good excuse to catch up.
Here are five standout retiring LEGO sets to consider before their time in the spotlight is over, with the bonus of double points, and at a wide range of budgets.
The £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 60461 Red Farm Tractor with Trailer & Sheep may be a 4+ build, but fans of all ages will want to pick up this build before it retires in a couple of months. 60461 Red Farm Tractor with Trailer & Sheep features a decent tractor build, despite using relatively few elements, a calf and the rare LEGO sheep, which have only appeared in four sets to date. One of those previous appearances is a limited-edition BrickLink Designer Program build, too.
As much as your eyes will be drawn to licensed themes and unique minifigures in the retiring set selection, don't miss out on one of LEGO Creator's best animal builds ever. 31154 Forest Animals: Red Fox is an astounding 667-piece build for £44.99 / $49.99 / €49.99, depicting a stunning recreation of a fox, which can be rebuilt into similarly impressive models of an owl and a squirrel. The model is posable with realistic moving parts, and any kind of LEGO fan can learn a lot from the techniques used.
With 900 pieces and a suite of exclusive minifigures for £94.99 / $109.99 / €104.99, 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle expertly pays tribute to one of the most iconic Marvel Cinematic Universe scenes, while bringing back a unique build from The LEGO Movie 2. Spider-Man fans should strongly consider picking up this and its expansion 76280 Spider-Man vs. Sandman: Final Battle before they both retire at the end of the year.
LEGO One Piece and Icons will soon be home to the only pirate ships on the market, and those seeking a more affordable and nostalgic experience will want to snap up 31109 Pirate Ship for £114.99 / $119.99 / €129.99 while they still can. The LEGO Creator set was highly praised in our thorough review and is one of the few LEGO pirate models currently on the market, and the only proper one not attached to a license.
The crowd of retiring LEGO sets over £200 is full of desirable entries from modular buildings to Castle creations, but enthusiasts should keep their eye on 71799 NINJAGO City Markets. The appeal of this set to NINJAGO fans is easy to understand for the minifigures alone. Not only is it the only home of Cyrus Borg, but it's also your only way to grab the long-awaited Chamille minifigure. For those unfamiliar with NINJAGO, this set is an all-in-one futuristic cityscape with great value, totalling 6,163 pieces and 21 minifigures for £319.99 / $369.99 / €369.99.
