Fans of LEGO Icons can breathe a sigh of relief, as six beloved sets originally scheduled to retire in 2025 will now stay on shelves through the end of 2026. This extension includes some standout models like 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell, giving fans more time to snag these iconic builds.
Extended Shelf Life for Fan-Favorites
If you’ve been holding off on adding Rivendell to your collection, you’re in luck. This massive and intricately detailed tribute to Middle-earth isn’t going anywhere for another two years. The extended lineup now looks like:
- 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell
- 10295 Porsche 911
- 10300 Back to the Future Time Machine
- 10302 Optimus Prime
- 10307 Eiffel Tower
- 10315 Tranquil Garden
These sets range from pop culture icons to architectural marvels, ensuring there’s something for every LEGO enthusiast. The Porsche 911, for instance, has been on shelves since 2021 and has outlasted even newer models like 10321 Corvette, which retires at the end of 2024. Meanwhile, the Eiffel Tower remains the tallest LEGO Icons set to date, a true centerpiece for collectors.
What’s Next for LEGO Icons?
As of now, a total of 13 LEGO Icons sets are confirmed to retire in 2026, compared to just nine slated for 2025. Among those leaving in 2025 are notable builds like 10297 Boutique Hotel, 10312 Jazz Club, and the 90th-anniversary 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle. Fans of medieval LEGO themes will be hoping for a stay of execution for the Lion Knights’ Castle, a nostalgic favorite that’s as timeless as the bricks themselves.
2024 Retirements: Don’t Miss Out
Before planning your 2026 shopping list, it’s worth noting that several highly sought-after LEGO Icons sets are leaving us in 2024. Some, like 10320 Eldorado Fortress and 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery, are already selling out in select regions. LEGO's Insiders Weekend could be your last chance to grab them, especially if rumors of discounts, gifts-with-purchase, and double VIP points prove true.
Final Thoughts
With extended timelines for several popular sets, LEGO is giving fans a little extra breathing room to save up, plan their collections, and enjoy the building process. Whether you’re eyeing Rivendell for its epic scale, Optimus Prime for its transformation magic, or the Porsche 911 for its sleek design, 2026 offers a wider window to make your move.
