LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office (10246) and Brick Bank (10251) Will Soon Retire

UPDATE: The LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office (10246) is still available for backorder on December 17 via Amazon, for the same LEGO Store price of $159.99. If you’re wanting to add this to your collection without cashing out additional bucks, then now is the best time to do so. 

Early last November, LEGO made a series of announcements that would probably have LEGO collectors and fans rushing in to take action at the last moment. This is the news that a number of LEGO sets have been marked for retirement, which means pretty soon they’re going to run out just everywhere. And this time around, we might be seeing the curtain fall for two of the most loved LEGO modular sets around: the Detective’s Office (10246) and Brick Bank (10251).

Normally, the announcement that a LEGO set is to be retired means that it will eventually be removed from the production line, making it more and more difficult to find in any LEGO brand or certified store, with third-party retailers taking advantage of the situation. While the listings on Shop@Home haven’t been updated as of yet, their availability statuses are either “Sold Out” or “Call to Check Product Availability”.

Indeed, the LEGO Creator Expert Brick Bank (10251) is now gone seemingly everywhere online, meaning, if any remain unsold they’re either unlisted or to be found only on some retail shelves. Now, the Detective’s Office (10246), which was a star last Black Friday, only has one set left available on Amazon.

Both these Creator Expert LEGO sets were part of a series of modular building sets that could be built side by side to create an urban street that’s more detailed than usually seen in LEGO City perhaps. The retirement of these two sets will also mean that their aftermarket prices will certainly balloon as well.

2019’s LEGO Modular Set is the LEGO Creator Expert Corner Garage (10264)

LEGO has now revealed 2019’s LEGO modular set following the success of this year’s Downtown Diner (10260). The LEGO Creator Expert Corner Garage (10264) is an impressive 3-level detailed build that contains over 2,500 pieces slated to arrive in LEGO Stores at LEGO Shop@Home in January 1, 2019. It features a classic 1950s-style garage with a gas station on the ground level, an animal clinic at the mid-level, and an apartment with a well-equipped kitchen and other amenities at the top level.

There are plenty of new elements to watch out for which are also included in this set: black ice skates and rare dark-orange pieces just to name a few. The Corner Garage (10264) will retail for $199.99 USD. Read on for a full product description followed by a ton of crisp, clear official images.

Cyber Monday is Here, and So Is the LEGO Creator Taj Mahal (10256) Set.

It was the set re-release that generated a lot of buzz and discussion when it was made known. LEGO had earmarked it for release on Cyber Monday, marking the last week of November before December and the Holidays start in earnest. We’re talking about the LEGO Creator Taj Mahal (10256), hailed by LEGO as their second-largest set ever made.

LEGO Creator Taj Mahal (10256)

Well, Cyber Monday is now in full swing, and that means that the LEGO Taj Mahal (10256) with all its 5,923 bricks is now indeed up for sale on Shop@Home, on five major regions for LEGO. Master builder Jamie Berard, who just hosted a special Airbnb accommodation for some lucky LEGO fans at Billund’s Home of the Brick, has also done a designer video for the 10256, here hosted on LEGO Korea’s official Facebook page.

There’s really no more reason to delay. If you’re a fan of old architecture and you’ve got the $369.99 (or equivalent), then the LEGO Creator Taj Mahal (10256) is a must-have purchase.

From the picture, the workshop seems a little small, but we will have to wait to see what the other side looks like before passing judgment. A small toy factory and a North Pole sign also are seen in the distance. Here’s what we know so far.
