At the end of the year, Lego will cease production of several of its Technic sets. Here’s a look at which models are expected to be leaving shelves.
It’s not unusual for Lego to stop producing a set after it’s been around for a while. When this happens, the set is tagged with EOL for «End of Life». If there’s too litte demand for a set, it’ll disappear from the market faster than its more popular counterparts.
