Lego is adding new sets all the time, and often I've been so excited to see what's new on the roster that I haven't given any thought to what might be being shunted into the great Lego brick bin in the sky, to make room for the new arrivals. Browsing the Lego website, I came across the 'Retiring soon' section and was appalled to see some of what I would consider absolutely classic sets there.
Firstly, Lego Gringotts. The brick version of the Harry Potter wizarding bank has everything I'd ever want from a Lego set. The two-part kit includes the haphazard above-ground building — complete with goblins and Galleons — as well as the meandering and magical underground vaults, accessed via a rollercoaster train track. Oh, there's a dragon down there, too. This set is already sold out in the US.
My second big surprise is that the Lego Mona Lisa is set to retire. If a bona fide masterpiece is up for the chop, then what is truly safe? Scroll down for 8 more sets that are on their way out — they're already disappearing from Amazon, but there's still time to pick one up directly from Lego before it disappears forever.
