One of the most exciting aspects of collecting LEGO sets is the constant release of new and unique designs. However, it is equally important to stay informed about the sets that will be discontinued, as this knowledge can greatly impact one’s purchasing decisions. In the case of Star Wars LEGO sets, several notable sets will be discontinued in 2023.
One such set that will no longer be in production is the 75309 Republic Gunship. This set has gained popularity among LEGO and Star Wars enthusiasts due to its impressive size and attention to detail. It has become a must-have for fans of the Clone Wars era, as it captures the essence of the iconic gunship seen in the animated series. With its retirement, collectors and fans alike will need to act quickly if they want to add this set to their collection.
Another set that will be discontinued is the 75288 AT-AT. This set features the infamous Imperial Walker, which has become an iconic symbol of the Star Wars franchise. Its retirement will surely disappoint fans who have been eyeing this set, as it offers a rewarding building experience and an impressive display piece. With its departure from production, finding this set may become increasingly challenging in the future.
Additionally, the 75292 The Razor Crest will also be discontinued. This set gained significant attention after its appearance in the popular show “The Mandalorian.” It perfectly captures the unique design of the Razor Crest spaceship, making it a highly sought-after set among fans of the series. With the retirement of this set, collectors may need to search harder or be willing to pay a premium to add it to their collection.
Despite the discontinuation of these heavy hitters, fans can take solace in the fact that many other Star Wars LEGO sets will remain on shelves well into 2024. It is worth noting that as of June, the 75344 Boba Fett’s Starship Microfighter has defied the trend of most recent Microfighters by remaining available. This set offers a compact and affordable option for those who want to collect Star Wars LEGO but have limited space or budget.
Staying informed about the discontinuation of LEGO sets, particularly in the Star Wars theme, is crucial for collectors and fans alike. Sets like the 75309 Republic Gunship, 75288 AT-AT, and 75292 The Razor Crest will no longer be in production in 2023. However, there are still plenty of other sets available, including the 75344 Boba Fett’s Starship Microfighter. So, if you have your eye on any of the retiring sets, it’s best to act quickly to secure them before they become harder to find. Happy collecting!
