Barely a month goes by without some new additions to the list of LEGO sets retiring soon. January 2026 is no exception, with 10 much-loved sets soon to be consigned to the second-hand market.

We've put them into three groups: LEGO BrickHeadz, Iconic Vehicles, and Kids' Characters.

So check out our list below to see the LEGO sets retiring soon in January 2026, and get your order in ASAP to pick them up at clearance prices.

Heroic LEGO BrickHeadz

Our first group of last-chance LEGO sets contains four LEGO BrickHeadz builds, with six characters in total.

1. LEGO Marvel BrickHeadz Captain America & Red Hulk Figures (40668)

Price: £10.79 (was £17.99)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 10+

Pieces: 202

LEGO Insiders Points: 86

Size: Over 8cm tall

This set features Sam Wilson as Captain America and Thaddeus Ross as Red Hulk, from 2025's Captain America: Brave New World.

You can't help but smile at Red Hulk's ripped abs and Captain America's miniature shield, which is both iconic and adorable.

For this set, you'll want a display case for 2x LEGO BrickHeadz, or why not add the Iron Man MK5 set for a red white and blue themed LEGO BrickHeadz display, using a display case for 3x LEGO BrickHeadz.

2. LEGO Marvel BrickHeadz Iron Man MK5 Figure (40669)

Price: £6.99 (was £9.99)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 10+

Pieces: 101

LEGO Insiders Points: 56

Size: Over 8cm tall

We love LEGO BrickHeadz sets. They're quick and easy to build, packed with quirky character and they look great (and fit great!) on bookshelves, nightstands and messy desks. LEGO Iron Man MK5 BrickHeadz (40669) features the distinctive red and silver armour worn by Tony Stark, with translucent blue elements to represent the thrusters.

Be sure to pick up the Display Case for 1x LEGO BrickHeadz to show off your set at its best - and to keep it dust-free!

3. LEGO Disney BrickHeadz Red Panda Mei (40798)

Price: £5.99 (was £9.99)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 10+

Pieces: 121

LEGO Insiders Points: 48

Size: Over 8.5cm tall

You don't have to be a fan of Disney Pixar's Turning Red to find this little cutie irresistible. LEGO BrickHeadz Red Panda Mei (40798) is a charming build in her own right.

There's interactivity in this build, with folding legs and moving ears, so you have the choice to play with it or just keep it as a super cute LEGO BrickHeadz display.

Again, a display case for 1x LEGO BrickHeadz will be a welcome addition if you want to show this set at its best, without needing to dust it on a daily basis.

4. LEGO BrickHeadz Tom & Jerry Figures (40793)

Price: £9.44 (was £13.49)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 10+

Pieces: 212

LEGO Insiders Points: 76

Size: Tom: Over 8cm tall. Jerry: Over 6cm tall.

For less than a tenner, the clearance price on this set is excellent value. You get two absolutely iconic cartoon characters who have delighted audiences for over 85 years. Tom is shown wielding a hammer (look out, Jerry!) while Jerry is holding a lit matchstick to set fire to Tom's tail!

It's great that the Jerry figure is slightly smaller than normal BrickHeadz size - 6cm instead of 8cm - so he looks right alongside the regular-sized Tom figure. You can still showcase them in a display box for two LEGO BrickHeadz - Jerry will just have a bit more headroom to make these animated enemies your star attraction!

Iconic LEGO Vehicles

A trio of iconic LEGO vehicles are also in the 'last chance to buy' category for January 2026. Let's take a look...

5. LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

Price: £6.79 (was £8.49)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 7+

Pieces: 118

LEGO Insiders Points: 54

Size: 6 x 11 x 3cm (H x L x W)

This dinky double-decker has been around for nearly a decade since its release in June 2016, but the bell has been rung for it to make its final stop.

It's a surprisingly detailed build for its size, with transparent windows, turning wheels, and stickers for the registration plate, destination sign, and advertising banners. Those adverts are a cute extra touch - they pay homage to LEGO Creator Big Ben (21013) and LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232), making this the perfect companion piece to either.

And if you have either of those sets, we've got you covered, with a made-to-measure acrylic display for LEGO 21013 Big Ben or a display case for LEGO 10232 Palace Cinema.

6. LEGO Creator Expert Vespa (40517)

Price: £5.39 (was £8.99)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 9+

Pieces: 118

LEGO Insiders Points: 43

Size: 9 x 12 x 6cm (H x L x W)

There's plenty of play potential in this set as you assemble the distinctive stylings of the iconic Italian scooter, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2026.

Younger builders will love the chunky tyres and angled handlebars, while adults can enjoy the nostalgia and dream of hopping into the seat to ride off into the rolling hills of Tuscany.

LEGO says this set is of a size where "it can be played with at home or taken on a play date". At barely a fiver, its clearance price is pocket-friendly too.

The LEGO Creator Expert Vespa (40517) will soon be joining its bigger sibling, LEGO Icons Vespa 125 (10298), on the Retired Products list. You can find a custom display box for the larger LEGO 10298 here.

7. LEGO DUPLO Police Motorcycle (10967)

Price: £8.99

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 2+

Pieces: 5

LEGO Insiders Points: 72

Size: 5 x 9 x 4cm (H x L x W)

This simple set is perfect for baby builders, with larger DUPLO blocks that can be built together in the same way as LEGO bricks. Build the 'Lost Dog' poster onto its bright yellow plinth, then set out to find the missing pooch with the DUPLO police officer figure riding the motorcycle.

A DUPLO dog figure is included, which means you can play a miniature game of hide and seek with your baby or toddler until they track him down! It's sweet and simple, it's been around since 2022 and it's soon to be retired - a shame as this one has a near-perfect customer rating in reviews.

Cute LEGO Kids' Characters

We end with a trio of character-based sets soon to disappear from the shop shelves. Don't miss out on this last chance to buy if you're a fan of Peppa Pig, Inside Out or LEGO DREAMZzz...

8. LEGO DUPLO Peppa Pig Birthday House (10433)

Price: £39.99

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 2+

Pieces: 59

LEGO Insiders Points: 320

Size: 26 x 20 x 6cm (H x W x D)

This is another DUPLO set, and once again LEGO DUPLO Peppa Pig Birthday House (10433) has a near-perfect score in customers' 5-star ratings.

As well as the Birthday House itself, you get three figures: Peppa, Pedro Pony and Suzy Sheep. Accessories include Peppa's Teddy, a birthday cake, cake pan, birthday gift and camera.

With simple interior rooms representing the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, the options are open for imaginative play - if your little builder has a birthday coming up, now's the time to get your hands on this set, before it sells out forever.

9. LEGO Disney Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes (43248)

Price: £20.99 (was £29.99)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 9+

Pieces: 394

LEGO Insiders Points: 168

Size: 8 x 16 x 10cm (H x W x D)

We rate this one highly as an eye-catching LEGO bookshelf display for a child's bedroom or nursery, thanks to the chunky Mood Cubes that create a vibrant backdrop for mini-doll figures of Joy and Anxiety.

There are nine Mood Plates included in this set, which can be swapped on the two cubes to show how the builder is feeling.

Miniature figures of the Foreman and Margie mind workers, along with colour-coded joy and anxiety memory balls, add more movie-specific detail to this extremely attractive display set.

10. LEGO DREAMZzz Izzie and Bunchurro the Gaming Bunny (71490)

Price: £8.99 (was £17.99)

Availability: Retiring Soon

Ages: 7+

Pieces: 252

LEGO Insiders Points: 72

Size: 18 x 12 x 9cm (H x L x W)

And finally, we come to LEGO DREAMZzz Izzie and Bunchurro the Gaming Bunny (71490), a stylish set based on the LEGO DREAMZzz TV series.

With over 250 pieces for the reduced price of £8.99, you get a brick-built Bunchurro figure, an Izzie LEGO Minifigure, a Cyberling and a Dreamling Carrot, with two build options for Bunchurro: a skateboard or a jetpack.

Bunchurro is completely posable, and Izzie can attach to the back of the figure, while the story-led building instructions aim to encourage imaginative play too.

It's always a shame to see some really great sets go to the LEGO retirement home - but it's also a chance to bag a bargain and make way for the best new LEGO sets of 2026!
