The best example is the 10188 Death Star, which was in the program from 2008 to the end of 2015, only to be replaced immediately by the almost identical 75159 Death Star. There are very popular UCS sets that are produced over many years. This is very different and depends on the demand for the set. This also means that the LEGO Group can also re-release sets that have been out of date for a long time in updated form at any time. The sometimes very high prices of the UCS sets are due to the fact that the sets have not been on the market for several years and not to the fact that there is only a limited number of sets.

Then the sets of the UCS series go the same way as any other LEGO set: They are taken out of the program and are then EOL (“End of Life” or “End of Line”). However, the sets are not sold forever, as the sales figures at LEGO naturally decline after a few years and it is no longer worthwhile to continue producing the set. No, LEGO UCS sets are not limited – at least not in quantity.

By the way, LEGO used to call it the “Ultimate Collectors Series”, without the apostrophe and the “s” after the “Collector”. UCS stands in the context of LEGO for “Ultimate Collector’s Series”.
