How we price retired LEGO sets
LEGO no longer sells a retired set, so there is no official price to start from. Here is the number we use instead, where it comes from, and how we take 60% off it.
Most sets at Brickraft are still sold by LEGO, and their crossed-out price is simple: the LEGO US price on LEGO.com, read on the date shown on the product page. Three of our sets are different. The Imperial Star Destroyer 75252, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 42143 and the Bugatti Chiron 42083 are retired. LEGO has stopped making them and no longer sells them on LEGO.com. This guide explains the reference we use for those three, and why we chose it.
What retiring does to a price
Once a set retires, a new copy can only come from someone who still has one: a collector, a reseller, or a store with stock left over. LEGO no longer sets the price. Buyers do, through what they pay for the copies that remain. From that day on, the launch price describes the past, not what the set costs to buy.
Our reference: the value of a new, sealed copy
For each retired set, we read the value BrickEconomy publishes for a new and sealed copy. BrickEconomy is a website that tracks the value of LEGO sets over time, set by set. We use the new and sealed figure, never the used one, because every set we sell is new and factory-sealed in its original box. We read all three values on October 20, 2026. Each product page shows the source and that date next to the crossed-out price. Our price is that value minus 60%.
Our three retired sets, in numbers
| Set | Launch price | Retired | Market value, new & sealed | Typical new & sealed range | Our price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 | $699.99 | December 2022 | $1,391.46 | $1,185 to $1,541 | $556.58 |
| Ferrari Daytona SP3 42143 | $449.99 | June 2026 | $601.37 | $577 to $678 | $240.55 |
| Bugatti Chiron 42083 | $349.99 | November 2022 | $447.88 | $408 to $500 | $179.15 |
Launch price, retirement date, market value and typical range all come from BrickEconomy, read on October 20, 2026. Our price is the market value minus 60%, rounded to the cent.
Why 60% off the market value, not off the launch price
A crossed-out price should be a number you could actually find today. Nobody sells a new, sealed Imperial Star Destroyer for its $699.99 launch price anymore. On the day we read it, BrickEconomy put typical prices for a new, sealed copy between $1,185 and $1,541. So the market value is the reference, and the 60% comes off that. Even so, all three of our prices land below the original launch price. The Star Destroyer is $556.58 against a $699.99 launch. The Daytona SP3 is $240.55 against $449.99, and the Chiron is $179.15 against $349.99.
One value and one range
BrickEconomy shows two numbers for a new, sealed copy: a single value, and a range where secondary-market prices typically fall. We use the single value, and the table above shows both so you can see where it sits. Used copies are a separate market. On the same day, BrickEconomy valued used Star Destroyers between $690 and $917 depending on condition, used Daytona SP3s between $490 and $556, and used Chirons between $219 and $285. A sealed box and an opened one should never be compared on price alone.
How long each set was on sale
BrickEconomy also records how long LEGO sold each set. The Bugatti Chiron was available for 53 months, from June 2018 to November 2022. The Imperial Star Destroyer was available for 38 months, from October 2019 to December 2022. The Ferrari Daytona SP3 was available for 48 months, from June 2022 to June 2026, so it is the most recent to retire. Its market value has had the least time to settle, and BrickEconomy rates the accuracy of its estimate as medium, against very high for the other two.
A value is a snapshot
Market values move. BrickEconomy's figure on another day can be higher or lower than the one we read, which is why every retired set shows its date. We do not sell sets as investments, and a past change in value says nothing certain about the future. What we can promise is narrower: the reference is public, dated and checkable, and the set in the box is new and sealed. All three are in retired sets.
Reading a Brickraft price tag
- Crossed-out price on a current set: the LEGO US price on LEGO.com, with the date we read it.
- Crossed-out price on a retired set: BrickEconomy's market value for a new, sealed copy, with the date we read it.
- The Black November percentage is always taken from that crossed-out price.
- Our price is the number you pay. Standard shipping is free on orders over $79, and duties are included for delivery within the United States.
- Every set, retired or current, is new and factory-sealed in its original LEGO box.
Why do retired sets sell above their launch price elsewhere?
Because LEGO no longer makes them. The copies left are all there is, and buyers set the price. Our three retired sets are still priced below their launch price.
Where can I check the market value myself?
On BrickEconomy's page for each set. The source and the date we read it are on each product page. The value you see today may differ from the one we read on October 20, 2026.
Is a retired set a good investment?
We do not give investment advice. Values can rise or fall. Buy a retired set because you want to build it or display it.
Will you restock a retired set?
No. Our overstock comes in small lots, we cannot reorder a set, and retired sets do not come back. When a set sells out, its page comes down.
What if the box arrives damaged?
Email us a photo of the box within 30 days of delivery and we refund you. You keep the set, and there is nothing to ship back.
