Why Do They Retired Lego Star Wars Sets?
There are several reasons why Lego sets have retired. The main reason is that they’re not making enough profit so making them is just not worth it.
This can happen from popularity dropping, or the price becoming a bit too much for the consumer, or just from having newer, more exciting products on the line that people would rather buy.
While it’s sad to see products go, retiring Lego sets are a way to help Lego not waste money, as there’s no point in making products that are slowing down in sales.

Is It Worth It to Buy Retired Lego Sets?
Of course!
Due to only having a limited number of sets being made at a time, as Lego routinely retires sets when bringing out new ones, retired Lego sets are often valuable.
Whether the set was only out for a year or a couple years, anytime there is a limited supply of an item, they’re bound to be valuable. Most of the time, it’s when a trend, or franchise, becomes popular once again and the rise for merchandise grows.
But it’s also worth buying one because for hardcore fans, you might not be able to see that particular Lego set again. If you come across a retired Lego set with a decent price tag that you’re comfortable with, it might be worth purchasing not only for the value in the future if you want to invest, but just to appreciate the franchise that you enjoy.
