How to Read This Calendar
Every set below includes live data from ScoutLoot's intelligence engine:
- Crystal Ball Grade — our 11-signal appreciation prediction model. strong and likely sets have the highest probability of significant post-retirement appreciation based on theme history, community demand, piece count, packaging, and more.
- Timing Signal — tells you whether to Buy Now, wait for a fair price, or hold off based on current market pricing relative to historical trends.
- Heat Index — a 0-100 composite score measuring real-time demand. Sets above 60 are "warm" (strong community interest), above 80 is "hot" (exceptional demand).
- Wanted By — how many Brickset collectors have this set on their want list. Higher numbers = larger post-retirement buyer pool.

Buying Strategy by Timeline
Sets Retiring in the Next 3 Months
If a set retires within 90 days, you're in the final buying window. Prices at retailers are already rising and stock is limited. Check ScoutLoot for secondary market deals below RRP — sellers who don't know the retirement date often list at or below retail.
Sets Retiring in 3-6 Months
The sweet spot. Sets start showing "Retiring Soon" labels on LEGO.com, but secondary market prices haven't spiked yet. This is when to buy at retail if you can find stock, or set a ScoutLoot alert for a deal below market value.
Sets Retiring in 6-12 Months
No rush, but start planning. Add these to your ScoutLoot watchlist and wait for price dips. Holiday sales (Black Friday, January clearance) often offer the last chance to buy below RRP.
Sets Retiring in 12+ Months
Monitor only. Prices may actually drop as newer sets in the same theme launch. Set alerts at aggressive target prices and be patient — the best deals come to those who wait.
