Lego Officially Retiring Star Wars and X-Men Sets in 2026

Overview & Key Takeaways

Later this year, Lego is discontinuing some of its best sets, including the Millennium Falcon.

Most Lego sets are here for a good time, not a long time. The Lego Company regularly cycles older builds out of active production to make room for new ones. After stock runs out in stores, they become exclusively available through secondary markets like eBay, where they fetch much higher prices than their original market value. Earlier this month, Brick Fanatics compiled a list of every Lego set being discontinued at the end of 2026, and there are some real heavyweights in the bunch. Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Jurassic World, Mario, Animal Crossing, and One Piece all have builds headed for the big brick factory in the sky. Here are five of the most notable sets being retired.

1 Millennium Falcon

When people think of Star Wars Legos, one of the first things that comes to mind is Han Solo’s legendary cargo runner, the Millennium Falcon. While this latest set certainly isn’t the first Lego version of the ship, the product page describes it as “the largest, most detailed Lego® Star Wars Millennium Falcon model we’ve ever created.” It’s 7,541 pieces and goes for a similarly eye-popping $849.99. The set was released nearly a decade ago on Sep. 14, 2017, making it by far the longest-in-production set that’s being retired on Dec. 31, 2026.

2 X-Men: The X-Mansion

The X-Men’s home base always seems to be under attack, as shown in the X-Men: The X-Mansion set. This 3,093-piece build features a Sentinel laying siege to Xavier’s school, as Professor X, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Jean Grey, Bishop, Gambit, and Cyclops join forces with Magneto to take the robot down. It was released on Nov. 1, 2024, and goes for $329.99

3 Batman Forever Batmobile

Nearly every version of the Caped Crusader’s Batmobile has been rendered in brick form, but the Batman Forever Batmobile is one of the better ones. This recreation of Bruce Wayne’s rocket-like ride from the Val Kilmer-helmed ’95 film comes in 909 pieces and costs $99.99. Admittedly, it’s not quite as cool as this year’s Batman Returns Batmobile, but it's much cheaper, so there’s that.

4 Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser

Okay, so this is admittedly another Star Wars one, but just look at it; it’s so large! The Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser is the in-universe predecessor to the iconic Death Star, and as such, it’s an absolute behemoth. This set is 5,374 pieces with a similarly massive price tag of $649.99. It’s been in active duty since Oct. 1, 2023.

5 Minecraft’s Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring (aka the Chicken Jockey one)

Remember the Minecraft movie, and its inexplicable popularity tied to a baby zombie riding a chicken? The Minecraft Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring Lego set recreates this scene. Whether you want to gift it to a loved one obsessed with the Chicken Jockey or you just love ironic kitsch, this set isn’t long for this world. It’s 491 pieces and costs $49.99, putting it on the cheaper end compared to the other builds on this list.

Majority Of Gears Of War: E-Day Revenue On Xbox Will Be Cannibalized By Game Pass, Analyst Says

Gears of War: E-Day is launching into Xbox Game Pass, and because of that, the majority of the game's moneymaking potential will be cannibalized by its inclusion on the service. That's according to Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics(https://x.com/superhys/status/2104954496543523016), who released a report today that covers this, the game's initial sales on Steam, and the possibility of a PlayStation 5 port sometime down the road. According to Elliott, E-Day has surpassed 120,000 copies sold on Steam at this point, generating more than $7 million in revenue. The game arrives on October 6, but people who pay more can jump in starting October 1. For more, check out the official global launch times for E-Day(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gears-of-war-e-day-preload-times-install-size-and-global-launch-dates/). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRFE0gCsgLg Elliott's data showed that E-Day has already sold more than 2X what Halo: Campaign Evolved did over a similar period of time. With 120,000 sales on Steam already, E-Day is unlikely to hit 1 million copies on the platform ever, Elliott said. Additionally, he said "most" of the revenue from the Xbox version will be "eaten up by Game Pass. The game's inclusion on Game Pass might also encourage some people to sign up, so sales alone do not tell the whole story. In any event, Microsoft has already decided to pull some key titles out of Game Pass, presumably due to lost revenue. Microsoft's Activision division no longer puts new Call of Duty games into Game Pass at launch, for example, with this October's Modern Warfare 4 not coming to Game Pass until Fall 2027. Going forward, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has said the company might opt to "window" other titles, presumably to help Microsoft make more money from direct game sales. In 2023, Microsoft admitted that putting games into Game Pass cannibalizes full-game sales(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-pass-does-decrease-base-game-sales-microsoft-says/1100-6511473/). At the same time, a game coming to Game Pass can actually help improve sales(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/indie-dev-says-switch-sales-increased-after-their/1100-6479694/) in some scenarios. Microsoft made a big bet on Xbox Game Pass, spending billions of dollars to buy up studios with the aim of funneling content to the service to encourage people to sign up. New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has said Microsoft's bet on Game Pass did not work out.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-xbox-ceo-admits-game-pass-bet-has-not-worked-out/) "Our core business weakened, and we added more teams, more investment, and more time, hoping for a better outcome," she said. Elliott previously said Gears of War: E-Day (along with Clockwork Revolution) are being sent out to die(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/upcoming-xbox-exclusives-are-being-sent-out-to-die-analyst-says-xbox-pushes-back/) due to their exclusivity to Xbox. They are also coming to PC, but not PS5. Elliott told GameSpot that Microsoft will never succeed in the console space and promising fans exclusive games to help drive console sales is not going to make a difference. “Console as we know it is over for Xbox–and has been for a while. There’s no turning that ship. But they still need to pretend to care until they’ve transitioned to pastures where they can return to growth (if they succeed),” he said. “A Gears console exclusive does not shift meaningful numbers of Series X units. Exclusivity as a hardware-driver is over for them, because the install base it would drive simply isn’t responsive enough to justify the cost of building hardware at a 5x component premium. And those games are on Steam anyway,” he added. Elliott went on to say that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are “sacrificial lambs for hearts-and-minds, not economics.” Also in the report, Elliott addressed the rumor that Microsoft canceled a PS5 port of E-Day. He said Microsoft should not have done this, as bringing the game to PS5 would have "added some much-needed extra revenue." While E-Day might not be coming to PS5 at launch, Elliott said he foresees a port coming to market "at some point." There was obvious evidence(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-denies-that-gears-of-war-e-day-skipping-ps5-was-last-minute-decision-but-no-one-believes-that/) of a PS5 edition of E-Day. However, Microsoft denied that it canceled a PS5 version at the last minute(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-denies-that-gears-of-war-e-day-skipping-ps5-was-last-minute-decision-but-no-one-believes-that/), but did not deny its existence. Another strange wrinkle to the story is that Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has said E-Day is not a timed-exclusive for Xbox(https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/2063669894504440253). However, Greenberg said in 2021(https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/1432466477945294849) that Starfield was not a timed-exclusive on Xbox, but then it did come to PS5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/starfield-hits-ps5-on-april-7-extensive-new-dlc-coming-to-all-platforms/1100-6538823/), so it's hard to believe some of the things that Microsoft says about its release plans.
