Last Chance to Invest – LEGO Investment sets going out of stock early!

Published: 1 month ago

Last Updated: 1 month ago

Here at Investabrick, we are very keen to buy LEGO sets at the best possible LEGO discounts, and we are currently all compiling our Black Friday shopping lists of the retiring sets while looking for great LEGO deals. We have found though, that some of our key LEGO investment targets and also sets that we think would make great builds, are selling out on LEGO already before the end of October. Thus meaning stock is very scarce, leaving LEGO investors with the tough decision between buying at full price if available or potentially missing out as sets gets retired without coming back into stock. One thing is for sure, if you are going to wait for the Black Friday deals on some of these retiring new LEGO sets, then as soon as you see a satisfactory discount you should snap them up without hesitation as stock levels will be low and prices won’t last for long!

We’ve scanned through LEGO, both the US and the UK sites and the following sets are out of stock on one or both currently and therefore listed the key sets that you may want to accelerate your purchase of (either at LEGO if possible or at alternative retailers such as Amazon).

Please note, the ones that say out of stock are unlikely to come back to stock now, the ones that say temporarily out of stock we should see come back into stock at least once more.

As one of the hottest LEGO investment sets retiring this year, it may already be too late to purchase directly from LEGO, as it’s out of stock in the US and temporarily unavailable in the UK. If you haven’t added it to your portfolio yet, consider setting up an "email me if back in stock" request or checking alternative retailers like John Lewis in the UK, though availability may be limited, especially with the upcoming Black Friday sales.
