Retired Lladros

The Lladro brothers have a practice of issuing limited edition Lladro porcelain figurines. When the pre-established number have been sold, the figurine is retired and Lladro will sell no more. The retiring of a Lladro figurine significantly increases the value due to the limited quantity available.

As with any collectible item, as the quantity of the item decreases, the value increases. Since dedicated collectors rarely sell any of their collection, a retired Lladro figurine does not come on the open market very often. The retiring of a Lladro figurine significantly increases the value due to the limited quantity available. Collectors begin scouring the market for the porcelain figurines needed to round out their collections. I have managed to secure a couple of retired Lladro figurines to add to my wife's collection. This is always a hallmark day when we are able to add to the collection.
