What is the difference between active and retired Lladro figurines?
Active items are those that are still currently being produced and hence can readily be obtained through authorized dealers. Retired and discontinued are those that are no longer in production, or that as limited editions are fully subscribed and thus no more pieces are manufactured. Retired pieces generally go up significantly in value, their increase being determined by the demand and other factors such as how many pieces were made and for how long.
