Summary
A brief opinion piece lamenting Lego's practice of retiring Lego Star Wars sets, arguing it should be 'illegal' to discontinue them especially with the franchise's 50th anniversary approaching. The author rounds up retiring sets that are currently available at discounted prices, framing it as a last chance for collectors to buy before prices skyrocket on the secondary market.

· 4 pulledLego is amazing, and Lego Star Wars in particular.
The fact that you can spend $1000 on a gigantic Death Star set is a clear sign it's not just for kids.
Lego retires sets, meaning that, unless you're willing to pay silly prices on eBay, they're forever out of your reach.
That's no excuse to rob builders of the best Lego Star Wars sets, especially with Star Wars' 50th anniversary next year.
