#1 — 75347 TIE Bomber

Set 75347-1 | Star Wars | ~625 pieces | 4 minifigures (3 exclusive) | MSRP $64.99 | Released Dec 20, 2022 | Retiring estimated Jul 31, 2026 (~9 weeks)
LEGO 75347 TIE Bomber set box
TIE Bomber (75347), retiring July 31, 2026 2
BrickRanker's 6-month rolling average for 75347 is $41.02, which is −36.9% below the $64.99 MSRP — the largest discount among all 12 priced July 2026 sets. 2 PriceCharting (a collectibles price aggregator drawing on completed eBay sales) lists a New/sealed price of $42.68. 3 The spread between the two independent sources is only $1.66, or 3.9% — the tightest dual-source agreement in this tracker cycle. When two aggregators that pull from different methodologies land this close, the $41–$43 range is a reliable price anchor.
BrickRanker's dataset for 75347 covers 312 total sales. 2 PriceCharting shows approximately 2 sealed sales per day on eBay, with completed listings from May 21 and May 25 at $16.48 and $22.00 — those are parts-only or hull-only sales, not sealed sets. 3 The $41–$43 sealed range reflects whole-set transactions.

Minifigure breakdown

The 4 included minifigures carry a combined BrickRanker standalone value of $21.96, which represents 54% of the set's total assessed value. 2 Three of the four are exclusive to this set:
MinifigureExclusiveBR standalone value
Vice Admiral SloaneYes$6.84
Darth Vader (printed arms, soft cape)No$6.72
TIE Bomber Pilot (light nougat head)Yes$5.60
Gonk Droid (Imperial logo)Yes$2.80
Vice Admiral Sloane has no other LEGO appearance outside this set, making her the primary minifig collector anchor. 2 The Gonk Droid variant with the Imperial logo is similarly exclusive. BrickRanker does not provide a 2-year post-retirement forecast for 75347; the strong minifig exclusivity lineup is the main argument for post-retirement value retention.

Buy guidance

At $41–$43 sealed on the secondary market, this represents fair-value entry based on dual-source confirmation. With ~9 weeks until the July 31 retirement date, secondary supply is still relatively accessible. Post-retirement, supply compression and the exclusive minifig lineup — particularly Sloane — are the primary upside drivers. No 2-year model forecast is available from BrickRanker to quantify that upside precisely.
BrickRanker data confidence is rated High for this set, and the PC cross-verification eliminates the ambiguity that affects several other sets in this cohort. 2 3

Authentication checklist for 75347

Star Wars sets at this price point attract counterfeit production. Four specific checks for this set:
  • Vice Admiral Sloane torso printing: the Imperial officer uniform has a detailed printed insignia rank bar on the chest. Counterfeit versions show blurry edges or washed-out ink, especially on the fine grey horizontal lines of the rank badge.
  • TIE Bomber Pilot head: the exclusive light nougat (pale skin) head print is a known weak point for knockoffs. Authentic printing has sharp, consistent double-sided facial detail; fakes often show misaligned eye printing or color bleed between head color and print.
  • Cockpit canopy clutch: the TIE Bomber's distinctive elongated canopy hood should snap and hold firmly when closed. Counterfeit ABS plastic is typically softer, causing the canopy to loosen or sag open after light handling.
  • LEGO logo on studs: every genuine LEGO stud has a raised "LEGO" text imprint. Check the dorsal hull section of the main body — fakes frequently leave internal studs blank or with shallow, unreadable lettering.

Runner-up — 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1

Set 77092-1 | The Legend of Zelda | 2,500 pieces | 4 minifigures (3 exclusive) | MSRP $299.99 | Released May 29, 2024 | Retiring estimated Jul 31, 2026 (~9 weeks)

BrickRanker's 6-month average is $255.63, −14.8% below the $299.99 MSRP. 4 The dataset covers 70 total sales, rated High confidence. No 2-year post-retirement forecast is available for this set. One important caveat: PriceCharting does not yet have a dedicated product page for 77092 — the LEGO Zelda theme launched in May 2024 and third-party price aggregators have not fully indexed it. 5 The $255.63 figure rests on BrickRanker alone, without an independent eBay-sales cross-check.

Minifigure breakdown

The 4 minifigures carry a combined BrickRanker standalone value of $130.66, representing 51% of set value. 4 Three are exclusive to this set:
MinifigureExclusiveBR standalone value
Link — Champion's Tunic (dark aqua)Yes$38.21
Link — Green TunicNo$36.64
Princess ZeldaYes$31.26
Young LinkYes$24.54
The two Link variants use distinct dual-molded hair/hat pieces unique to their respective outfit versions. The three-way Zelda IP exclusivity (Champion's Tunic Link, Princess Zelda, Young Link) is the primary collector driver for this set given the limited licensing history of the theme. At 2,500 pieces, it is also the largest set by piece count in the July 2026 retirement cohort based on available data.

Buy guidance

At the current secondary market level of approximately $255–$260, the Zelda IP exclusivity and piece count support a reasonable hold thesis — particularly if the theme does not receive a new wave before or after retirement. The absence of a PriceCharting cross-check means buyers should independently search completed eBay listings for "LEGO 77092 sealed" before committing, as the BR figure is the only formally aggregated data point.

Authentication checklist for 77092

  • Triforce printing on Zelda's torso: the golden triforce detail on Princess Zelda's dress print is a known counterfeiting weak point. Authentic printing has crisp triangular geometry; fakes show blurred or hexagonal distortion where the three triangles meet.
  • Link's hair/hat dual-molded pieces: both Link variants use unique dual-molded parts (hair and hat fused in two colors). Counterfeit versions frequently substitute single-color pieces or standard helmet molds that look visually similar at a glance but lack the correct part geometry.
  • Box typography: 77092 is a first-year Zelda set and counterfeits have been observed with incorrect font weight on the "2-in-1" text on the box front — the genuine box uses a specific bold sans-serif weight; knock-off boxes frequently render it lighter or with slightly different letter spacing.
  • Sticker sheet condition: the set includes stickers for decorative elements. Sealed boxes should have an uncut sticker sheet; any listing described as "sealed" with a missing or pre-cut sticker sheet is a red flag for a resealed copy.

Newly priced July 2026 sets — reference table

Eight sets received fresh BrickRanker data during the May 26–27 collection window. These are not today's featured recommendations but are now tracked with fresh pricing for future reference. Data confidence is High for all entries except 10331 Kingfisher (1-month stale, no 2-year forecast available).

A few notes on individual entries:
75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor: with minifigure value at 78% of the set total — Anakin Skywalker ($10.09, exclusive), Ahsoka Tano ($9.75, exclusive), and R7-A7 ($5.94) — this is a minifig-driven buy. 8 The high ratio means counterfeit risk is elevated; prioritize authenticating the minifigures before any purchase. At $32.95 BR average and a +14.13% 2-year forecast, the math is positive if the figures are genuine.
21350 Jaws: the BrickRanker 6-month average of $142.27 significantly understates the current market. The May 2026 average across only 4 sales is $224.23 — about 58% above the 6-month rolling figure. 12 With only 39 total sales on record (very low liquidity), the BR model is lagging badly on this one. Treat $142 as a historical reference, not a current buy target. Anyone tracking 21350 should search completed eBay listings directly for current-market clarity.
75356 Executor Super Star Destroyer: the May 2026 average of $65.10 is running above the 6-month average of $57.08, suggesting the market is beginning to price in the July retirement. 11 Buyers still have time to enter at the $57–$62 range if the trend holds.

10362 French Café is the most compromised entry in the cohort: 4-month stale data, Low confidence rating, and only 8 lifetime sales. The current BR figures ($56.70 avg, −29.1% vs. MSRP, +30.18% 2-year forecast) are not actionable. 16
42167 Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck and 42164 Off-Road Race Buggy carry the highest 2-year forecasts in the full cohort — +55.78% and +52.26% respectively — but both are 3 months stale at Medium confidence. 19 18 If those forecasts hold after data refresh, they would be among the more compelling budget-tier Technic buys in this wave.
31208 Hokusai Great Wave (Art, MSRP $99.99) is not in the stale table — its BrickRanker data is current. It remains on a 7-day cooldown from a prior lead feature and is available again as a pick from May 28 onward. 20

Retirement tracker: count corrected to 53

BrickRanker's retirement tracker shows 53 confirmed sets retiring July 31, 2026 — down from the approximately 54 reported yesterday. 1 The change is a counting discrepancy resolution, not a set being removed from the list. The Icons theme page lists 9 set numbers but the tracker's count column shows 8, with Optimus Prime (10302) appearing to be double-counted or categorized inconsistently across the theme data.
Theme distribution: Star Wars 13, Icons 8–9, Technic 9, Harry Potter 6, Creator 9, Art 3, Ideas 3, Animal Crossing 3, Architecture 2.

Price data: BrickRanker 6-month rolling averages as of May 26, 2026; PriceCharting 30-day completed eBay sales for 75347 only. No secondary-market listings with verifiable 24-hour timestamps were confirmed in today's observation window across Mercari, eBay, Depop, and Vinted. Buy guidance is based on available market data — not live listing prices. Verify listings independently before purchasing.
