LEGO Sets Retiring By End of 2026: Full List Includes LEGO Super Mario and Animal Crossing

New reporting from Brick Fanatics has identified a substantial list of LEGO sets that are expected to be retired by the end of 2026, spanning licensed lines for Nintendo, Sega, Mojang, and Epic Games. The retirements affect multiple LEGO Super Mario and LEGO Animal Crossing sets, alongside product lines for Sonic the Hedgehog, Minecraft, and Fortnite. Brick Fanatics' compilation lists four LEGO Super Mario sets slated for retirement and four LEGO Animal Crossing sets likewise scheduled to leave production by the end of 2026. The LEGO Super Mario line, a collaboration between the LEGO Group and Nintendo that debuted in 2020 and pairs physical building with an interactive electronic Mario figure, will see several of its sets discontinued. Brick Fanatics reports the following Super Mario sets are included: - 71440 – Adventures with Interactive LEGO Luigi - 71441 – Adventures with Interactive LEGO Peach - 72043 – Interactive LEGO Mario & Standard Kart - 72045 – Mario Kart – Shy Guy & P-Wing For LEGO Animal Crossing, the sets reported as retiring are: - 77053 – Stargazing with Celeste - 77056 – Blathers’s Museum Collection - 77057 – Creative Houses: Seasons of Fun - 77058 – Goldie’s Cosy House Several Sonic the Hedgehog sets are listed as retiring as well, including 77001, 77002, 77005, 77006, 77117, and 77118. A large number of LEGO Minecraft sets also appear on the list, with model numbers ranging from 21266 through 21584 covering themes such as The Nether, The Warden Encounter, and The Enderman Tower. Fortnite-branded LEGO sets reported to be retired include 77075 through 77078. Brick Fanatics previously noted additional discontinuations earlier in the year; this latest list consolidates more products that collectors and parents may want to purchase before they go out of production. While these particular sets are slated for retirement, reporting also notes that LEGO will bring a new wave of LEGO Super Mario sets in 2027, and the company has continued to expand licensed collaborations — including recent announcements related to The Legend of Zelda. With many of these sets tied to major gaming IPs familiar to Nintendo Switch and broader console audiences, fans of Super Mario, Animal Crossing, Sonic, Minecraft, and Fortnite should consult Brick Fanatics and official LEGO retail channels for final availability and potential reissues.
