Hello,

It would be useful on the set catalog to have a retired flag (true/false) and
optionally the month/year of retirement.

Then we could also search our inventories for retired set only.

Thanks for reading,
CB

Retired according to who though? Lego doesn't announce dates. Lego has listed
sets as sold out that are widely available in stores still, or are sold out on
the US site but not the UK one etc...

There will always be a few months when sets "are retiring" as they may be available
in some countries but not others, so the date will only be an approximation.
But if we take the last few months, sets like 10217 or 10219 can be flagged as
retired.

Thanks,
