Hokusai leads Jun 21 — retiring Jul 31, −22.6%
LEGO Art 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave ($77.36, −22.6% vs. $99.99 MSRP) leads the Jun 21 radar on the strongest combination of near-term retirement urgency (~5 weeks to Jul 31), tight forecast band (13.56pp, +30.12% mid), and fresh Jun 2026 data — with a $1.01 price drop since the Jun 13 checkpoint. N-1 Starfighter (75325) takes the secondary slot at −37.5% (deepest discount in the pool) despite a wide 34.34pp forecast band. On the sideboard: Huracán Tecnica (42161) is 87 days stale and 3 days from BrickRanker's 90-day delisting threshold on Jun 26. 14th consecutive ultra-stable session; 44th consecutive zero-listing platform run; BrickRanker site restructured from /sets/ to /rankings/set/ URLs.
Two cooldowns lifted at midnight — 75325 N-1 Starfighter and 75333 Obi-Wan Starfighter — joining a nine-set pool with BrickRanker data refreshed across five entries since Jun 19. The clear lead is 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave: its BR average dropped another $1.01 overnight to $77.36 (−22.6% vs. $99.99 MSRP), data is fresh as of Jun 2026, and retirement is ~5 weeks out. On the sideboard: 42161 Huracán Tecnica is now 87 days stale and sits three days from BrickRanker's 90-day delisting threshold on Jun 26. 1

#1 — 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave
Set 31208-1 | LEGO Art | 1,810 pieces | 0 minifigures | MSRP $99.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
Loading stats card…
BrickRanker's 6-month rolling average for the Hokusai set is $77.36 against the $99.99 MSRP — a −22.6% discount that is the shallowest in today's full nine-set pool. That number is not the lead argument; retirement is. Community-sourced tracking corroborated by BrickRanker's own "Retiring soon!" tag puts this set off shelves around Jul 31, 2026 — roughly five weeks from today. 1
The BR price dropped $1.01 from the Jun 13 checkpoint ($78.37 → $77.36), the largest single absolute move in the current batch. Data refreshed to Jun 2026 — the set is actively trading. At 75 total recorded sales, it sits in the middle tier for liquidity in this pool; the 1,810-piece count and Art-theme display nature mean not every owner resells. 1
The 2-year post-retirement forecast is +30.12% mid, with a band from +21.93% to +35.49% — a spread of 13.56 percentage points. That is the second-tightest forecast band in today's pool (behind only the Obi-Wan Starfighter's 10.67pp), and the only tight-band forecast attached to a set with both genuine retirement urgency and a meaningful buy-in discount. The N-1 Starfighter delivers a deeper −37.5% discount but carries a 34.34pp forecast band that is more than twice as wide — BrickRanker's model has far less confidence in where it lands post-retirement. 12
At $77.36 with 1,810 pieces, price-per-brick is $0.043 — low even by Art theme standards, and the second-highest piece count in this pool behind only the Fountain Garden.
Why Art sets hold up post-retirement
Art sets skew heavily toward display buyers and completionists who rarely resell sealed copies quickly. Hokusai's 75 BR-tracked sales over its ~3.5-year retail window reflect constrained secondary supply relative to print run, not thin demand. BrickRanker rated its confidence level as High. The Hokusai image itself — Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa — has demonstrated durable cross-market recognition that extends beyond the LEGO collector base, which is atypical for this theme. That broadens the potential resale audience post-retirement. 1
Authentication notes
Art-set mosaics are structurally difficult to fake convincingly at scale — the correct plate counts and colors per row are verifiable against the official building instructions. For open/used listings of 31208 specifically:
- Missing 1×1 plates: the ocean and wave sections use thousands of blue and white 1×1 plates in close gradients. Corner loss and wave-crest gaps are the most common completeness failure in open builds.
- Gold-frame border plates: the gold/tan border pieces are distinctive. Check that all frame segments are present and that the color is consistent (fakes or mixed lots often show off-tone substitutions).
- Canvas/backboard condition: the large display backing panel should be free of warping or stress marks. Warping indicates storage in humidity or direct sunlight.
- Sealed listings: confirm tape seals are original and undisturbed on all flap edges. Box weight (manufacturer spec is available from LEGO's website) provides an additional integrity check.
Secondary — 75325 The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter
Set 75325-1 | LEGO Star Wars | 412 pieces | 4 minifigures (2 exclusive) | MSRP $59.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
Loading stats card…
BrickRanker places this at $37.50 — a −37.5% discount to the $59.99 MSRP and the deepest single-entry discount in today's pool. The price dropped another $0.36 from the Jun 14 checkpoint, continuing a slow downward drift that has now exceeded $1.00 across the past two weeks. 2
The minifigure lineup is where most of the value sits. At $37.50, the four figures carry a combined BrickRanker value of $22.94 — 61% of the set's total market price. Two are exclusive to this set: Peli Motto ($7.28) and BD-72 ($6.29). The Mandalorian figure ($6.07) and Grogu ($3.31) each appear in other sets. 2
The caveat is the forecast: +14.98% mid, band from −2.49% to +31.85% — a 34.34pp spread, the widest in today's pool by a significant margin. The negative lower bound means BrickRanker's model assigns real probability to this set trading below its current secondary price post-retirement. That does not make it a bad buy — 553 total BR sales (highest liquidity in the Star Wars cluster today) and exclusive Peli Motto provide a value floor — but it does make the Hokusai the stronger hold argument if forecast confidence matters to you. 2
Other eligible entries
75405 Home One Starcruiser — −32.7%, fresh data
Set 75405-1 | LEGO Star Wars | 559 pieces | 0 minifigures | MSRP $69.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
BR average dropped $0.62 from the Jun 13 checkpoint to $47.08 — a −32.7% discount, with data refreshed to Jun 2026. The 2-year forecast is +20.57% mid (band 13.71%–31.85%, 18.14pp). Zero minifigures means the value is fully tied to the ship model itself; the Admiral Ackbar-era Mon Calamari cruiser has a dedicated fan base but no figure-driven value floor. 3
75404 Acclamator-class Assault Ship — −27.6%, fresh data
Set 75404-1 | LEGO Star Wars | 450 pieces | 0 minifigures | MSRP $49.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
Another $0.48 drop from the Jun 13 baseline puts BR at $36.19 — −27.6% off MSRP. Forecast: +21.20% mid (band 10.81%–29.97%, 19.16pp). 101 total sales, data fresh. No minifigures; the Republic-era assault ship model drives all value. Price-per-brick is $0.080 at 450 pieces. 5
75333 Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter — tightest forecast band in pool
Set 75333-1 | LEGO Star Wars | 282 pieces | 3 minifigures (all exclusive) | MSRP $29.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
BR avg: $22.66 (−24.4% vs. $29.99 MSRP), data fresh. The Obi-Wan Starfighter carries the tightest forecast band in today's full pool: 10.67pp (+12.18%–+22.85%, mid +18.07%). With 1,568 total BR sales it is also by far the most liquid set tracked — more data means a tighter, more reliable model. All three figures are exclusive to this set: Taun We ($7.28), Obi-Wan Kenobi ($5.29), and R4-P17 ($3.97), combined $16.55 = 73% of set value. 7
The combination of tight band + exclusive figures + high liquidity makes this a strong secondary pick for buyers who weight forecast confidence over discount depth. The −24.4% discount is the second-shallowest in the pool after Hokusai, but the model certainty is unusually high for this price point.
75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor — minifig-heavy value structure
Set 75401-1 | LEGO Star Wars | 290 pieces | 3 minifigures (2 exclusive) | MSRP $44.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
BR avg: $33.96 (−24.5% vs. $44.99 MSRP), data fresh, first baseline in this run. Forecast: +14.13% mid (band 2.39%–22.74%, 20.35pp). Two exclusive figures — Anakin Skywalker ($9.93) and Ahsoka in Padawan attire ($9.60) — plus R7-A7 ($5.52) total $25.04 = 74% of set value. A wider forecast band and modest mid forecast put this below the Obi-Wan Starfighter for confidence, but the Anakin figure is a named exclusive that tends to attract standalone demand. 6
10338 Bumblebee — ~31 days stale, first baseline
Set 10338-1 | LEGO Icons | 950 pieces | 0 minifigures | MSRP $89.99 | Estimated retirement Jul 31, 2026
BR avg: $65.93 (−26.7% vs. $89.99 MSRP). Data is approximately 31 days old (last updated May 2026). Forecast: +23.57% mid (band 6.98%–32.37%, 25.39pp width). First time this set appears in a fresh tracking window — no prior checkpoint for trend comparison. Wide band reflects the thinner sales history (65 total). Flag for next run to confirm whether data refreshes to Jun 2026. 4
Sideboard: stale data
🚨 42161 Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica — 3 days to delisting threshold
BrickRanker's last recorded sale for the Huracán Tecnica was March 26, 2026 — the data is now 87 days stale as of Jun 21. BrickRanker operates a 90-day no-sale delisting threshold. That threshold triggers Jun 26, three days from today. If no new marketplace sale is recorded and processed by Jun 26, BrickRanker may drop this set from active tracking entirely. 910
The numbers on file — $37.67 (−24.6% vs. $49.99 MSRP), 806 pieces, Technic, +38.89% forecast mid (band 26.24%–49.06%) — are three months old and based on 23 total lifetime sales. The +38.89% mid is the highest forecast in the entire tracked pool, but that figure is anchored to a Mar 26 data snapshot, not any current trading. The last two recorded sales were both at $42.05 on Mar 26. Do not treat $37.67 as a live price quote. 9
The set is confirmed present in BrickRanker's retirement tracker with a Jul 31, 2026 tag. If a single new sale clears before Jun 26, the data may refresh and restore this set. If not, this radar will lose its BR data source for 42161 going forward. 10
10359 Fountain Garden — 56 days stale, wide band
BrickRanker's last update for the Fountain Garden is April 26, 2026 — 56 days stale as of today. BR avg: $67.66 (−32.3% vs. $99.99 MSRP), a $0.16 uptick from the Jun 19 checkpoint. Forecast: +29.04% mid (band 9.61%–41.67%, 32.06pp) — the second-widest band in today's pool. 8
At 26 total lifetime sales the data foundation is thin. The low end of the forecast (9.61%) barely clears typical inflation; the high (41.67%) is competitive. That 32pp gap indicates the model has limited confidence in where this set trades post-retirement. Not yet at the 90-day delisting threshold (34 days away), but trending there without a data refresh. Treat $67.66 as directionally useful, not as a current price quote. 8

Session notes
14th consecutive ultra-stable session. Five sets recorded BR price moves between Jun 19 and Jun 21: Hokusai −$1.01 (largest), Home One −$0.62, Acclamator −$0.48, N-1 Starfighter −$0.36, Obi-Wan Starfighter −$0.22. All moves are downward pressure — consistent with the slow drift that has held across this radar since late May. No pre-retirement scarcity premium has emerged for any Jul 31 set; prices continue compressing toward what appear to be floor levels. 110
Retirement tracker: 110 sets, 39 themes (−1 from Jun 19). The set count held at 110 for another session. Theme count dropped from 40 to 39 between Jun 19 and Jun 21 — one theme was removed or consolidated in BrickRanker's tracking. All nine sets monitored by this radar remain confirmed in the tracker with "Retiring soon!" tags and Jul 31, 2026 dates. 10
BrickRanker URL restructuring detected. All set detail pages have moved from the legacy
