15 LEGO Sets Confirmed to Retire in 2022: A Guide for Investing from Youtuber- Jake’s Bricks
Hello Lego investors! Today, we have some exciting news for you. Jake’s Bricks is here to reveal the 15 Lego sets that are confirmed to be retiring in 2022. So, if you’re looking to make some profit from your Lego investments, stick around and let’s dive right into it!
First things first, let’s talk about the recent price increases that happened on August 1st. Many Lego sets received a price bump, but interestingly, there were some sets that did not get any increase. And here’s the kicker: those sets are most likely retiring by the end of this year. Cue the dramatic music!
But fear not, dear investors, because we’re here to guide you through the stormy seas of Lego retirement. Let’s take a look at some sets that you should definitely consider picking up for investing.
First on our list is the Imperial Star Destroyer UCS. This bad boy, priced at a hefty $700 in the US, did not receive a price increase on August 1st. Now, it wasn’t initially on our radar for retirement, but this non-price increase has us pretty confident that it’s sailing off into Lego retirement land. So, if you can still find it, grab it, because it’s probably your last chance!
Now, before you get too excited about the potential profits, let’s talk about the risks involved. This set is massive and expensive, which means shipping costs can take a toll on your returns. But hey, there’s always a chance that in a few years, this set could be worth a fortune, just like the UCS Death Star. So, it’s a gamble, but one that might pay off.
Next up is a set that has been on the retirement speculation list for quite some time, the Disney Castle. This iconic set has been on the market for six or seven years, and we think it’s finally taking its retirement bow this year. Just like the Imperial Star Destroyer, it didn’t receive a price increase, making it an even more enticing investment opportunity.
But let’s be real here, this set takes up a ton of space, and it’s not exactly cheap. However, if you look at how the Disney Train has performed on the secondary market, it’s already trending at a solid $550 to $600. So, expect some handsome returns if you decide to snatch up the Disney Castle before it disappears into Lego retirement heaven.

Okay, back to the retiring sets! The Bugatti Chiron is another gem you should keep an eye on. This set has been consistently out of stock and may not even get a restock. So, if you have the chance to grab one, don’t hesitate. It didn’t receive a price increase, and with the release of the Ferrari Daytona Lego set, it’s poised to become a surefire winner for Lego Technic supercar collectors.
Last but not least, we have the Old Trafford Manchester United Stadium. Now, this set might not be the big winner in terms of investment potential. It’s a limited market, mostly catering to the European football fans. With no minifigures included, it might not have a wide appeal for investors. However, if you’re a football fan and want it for your personal collection, go ahead and grab one before it retires by the end of 2022.
So, there you have it, folks! These are just a few of the retiring Lego sets that you should consider picking up for investment purposes. Remember, investing in Lego can be a risky game, but with careful research and a bit of luck, you might just strike gold. Happy investing, and may the bricks be with you!
