Some of the best LEGO sets that have ever been created are now retired. While you can still find ways to buy them online, it is nearly impossible to find them below their original retail price. So if you find yourself face to face with a LEGO set that really sparks joy, it's best to pick it up before it's gone forever.
That being said, there are some rare cases when you can still find a set for below MSRP even after it gets retired. One such case is this current discount on the Green Hill Zone LEGO set at Amazon. It isn't much of a discount, but we don't expect it will still be at this price for much longer now that its been over five months since it was retired.
LEGO Sonic The Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone Sale
The LEGO Ideas Green Hill Zone set originally came out back in January 2022, but it wasn't until January of this year that LEGO retired the set. IGN actually had the chance to build back in 2022 when it first came out three years ago and we loved the build. It's a fun tribute to the iconic video game level from the series and one of our favorite Sonic the Hedgehog LEGO sets and is great for any fan of the franchise.
As far as I can tell, Amazon currently has the lowest possible price on this set if you're looking to buy it new, but Walmart also has it available. Ebay has a few different options on used versions for almost half the price, but you may risk missing pieces if you take that route. Considering it is still discounted, Amazon likely has quite a bit of stock left for this set, but as soon as that starts to dwindle you can expect prices to go up fairly quickly. LEGO is no longer selling this set, so once it's gone you'll only be able to purchase it at a markup unless you get lucky.
More Recently Retired LEGO Sets on Amazon
Once LEGO officially retires a set, they tend to hang around at other retailers for a bit longer. This makes Amazon one of the best places to buy LEGO thanks to their extended inventory of these products. There are a number of other recently retired sets you can currently still purchase right now. We've featured some of the most popular ones below:
