When is LEGO Santa’s Workshop Retiring?
LEGO 10254 Winter Holiday Train was first released on October 2016. This set will be in the market for three years this October.
The early winter village set like (10222 Winter Village Post Office (Oct 11 – Dec 12), 10235 Winter Village Market (Oct 13 – Dec 14), and 10259 Winter Village Station (Oct 17 – Nov 18)) was available for one holiday season. The more recent winter village entries (10245 Santa’s Workshop (Sep 14 – Nov 16), and 10249 Winter Toy Shop (Oct 15 – Nov 17)) have been available for two holiday seasons.
If 10254 Winter Holiday Train continues this trend, then 2019 could be the last season of availability for 10254 Winter Holiday Train. These seasonal set naturally does not sell well outside of the winter season and LEGO generally will retire those holiday sets before Christmas. So if you want to purchase this set, then you will have to act fast!
Rumor has it the UCS Millennium Falcon might retire this year. Currently OOS in AU and on Backorder in US. Also 10257 OOS in AU, I still think it might retire this season.
Thank you for the comment! Interesting that Millennium Falcon might retire so soon with about 1-year lifespan.
It was actually released in late 2017, even though sets were very sparsely sold in the beginning.
In Germany, a few employees at different Lego stores hinted not to wait too long if one has an intention to buy the Falcon. But there’s also a list with SW sets EOL dates currently circulating the community that predicts the Falcons EOL date to be in December 2020, so let’s see whether that list beats Thors other rumors 😉
