The Lego Company has produced over 80,000 unique parts, not including Minifigure parts.[1] Of those, about 3750 are currently produced, with the number changing slightly each year.[2] These parts are produced in many colors, both current and retired.[3]
Parts that have been produced in sets in the past year may be considered current.
Parts that have been produced in sets in the past 3 to 4 years are commonly put back into sets, so they are considered recent.[4] This categorization may also be applied to parts showing the usual patters of being phased out and replaced with an updated version [EX: 11295 (Aircraft Fuselage Forward Bottom Curved 6 x 8) → 5123 (Aircraft Fuselage Forward Bottom Curved 6 x 8 with 2 Holes and 2 Pin Holes)].
Parts that have been produced within a window of about 20 years ago to 3 or 4 years ago are considered Retired or Out of Use. These pieces are rarely released in new sets[4], as they have been retired because they have been replaced or have been deemed unneeded.
Parts that have not been released in a set in over about 20 years are considered "vintage". No part has ever been rereleased once it has crossed this threshold, minus a few incredibly rare exceptions.[1]
