Amazon’s Hard-to-Find Lego Section Has the Rare Builds You Need for Your Collection

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

If you’ve been eyeing the new Millennium Falcon Lego set, you’ll want to get it relatively soon. Why? Lego sets don’t stick around forever. They’re usually only available at standard retailers for a few years, at most, before they’re retired—and then you’re stuck shelling out way more money for them on the resale market.

Not to mention that some sets are super popular or made in smaller quantities (especially the larger, pricier, or exclusive sets), so they’re only available in limited supply. That’s where Amazon’s Hard to Find Lego section comes in: It offers an easy way to discover which sets are low in stock, so you can snag them before they’re gone forever.

Sure, there's a chance you get lucky and find a rare set on the shelf at your local shop, but given the constant shuffle of new releases from Lego, it’s a gamble. If you’re a Lego collector or a fan of a certain franchise (like Star Wars), don’t wait: All the retired or low-stock items below are still available on Amazon—but they might not be for long!

How does Amazon’s Hard to Find Lego section work?

Sets that are available at limited retailers, in danger of selling out, or retiring soon are added to this section by Amazon. That way, you’ll know you have a dwindling amount of time to purchase them at retail value. The rare items include everything from collaborations with Star Wars to Creator Expert sets and more. Pro tip: Many of the sets that are about to disappear soon are builds designed for younger kids. Stock up on holiday gifts for the little Lego fan in your life.

What's in Amazon's Hard to Find Lego section?

Right now, there are several Star Wars sets, including the 40th Anniversary AT-AT Walker—and while it isn’t as big as the massive 6,785-piece AT-AT Walker, it’s a much more affordable and challenging build that’s great for ages 10 and up. There’s also an adorable version of Grogu (AKA The Child) on sale right now and Mandalorian’s Razor Crest ship.

Frozen fans won’t want to miss the Ice Castle, which features a lot of unique translucent “ice” bricks, and space junkies will love the replica model of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander. The Forest Animal 3-in-1 Creator set also offers great value as a gift for tweens or teens because it converts into three different poseable animals (a fox, squirrel, or owl) using the same bricks.

Now that you know Amazon’s secret, your biggest challenge will be deciding which set you want to score and build first.
