The 2016 retirement landscape
What was leaving shelves.
The 10224 Town Hall — released 2012 — retired in 2016 after a four-year run, in the typical Modular Buildings cadence. 10246 Detective's Office had launched the previous year and was now mid-cycle. 10243 Parisian Restaurant continued. The Disney Castle (71040, 4,080 pieces, $349.99) launched in September and would run until 2021. The Mixels theme concluded. Star Wars Episode VII tie-in inventory began clearing.

A note on retirement dates
LEGO does not always announce retirements publicly, and many sets retire region-by-region (US first, EU later, sometimes years apart). The years here are a best-effort consolidation from public Brickset data, AFOL community tracking, and verified post-EOL listings. Every entry links to its Brickset reference page so readers can verify against the canonical source. If you have specific knowledge that corrects an entry, drop us a note.
