Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Would like to have an indicator of whether a set is discontinued or not. Simple Y/N flag. I'm a set guy, parts might come some day but not yet.

Describe the solution you'd like

A simple boolean that could potentially be automated from either BrickLink (I don't think they have this data?) or BrickEconomy (they do have it but no API that I can see.)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using Comments/Remarks/Marker instead.

Additional context
I have some investment sets that are going to price lower than market until no longer retail and discontinued. Need a "smart" way to track what is still retail vs. not. Why would I sell retail and compete with LEGO etc.

I have another request I'll submit separate for a margin column - difference between cost & sell price. This will help me identify the sets I need to move, and when.

I was wrong:

https://www.brickeconomy.com/api-reference

This would also allow pulling the original sale price.

    "availability": "exclusive",
    "retail_price_us": 249.99,
    "retail_price_uk": 199.99,
    "retail_price_ca": 299.99,
    "retail_price_eu": 249.99,
    "retail_price_au": 359.99,
    "ean": "5702014974777",
    "upc": "673419191425",
    "released_date": "2013-09-01",
    "retired_date": "2016-11-29",

availability: The general sales availability of the set (retail, relaillimited, exclusive, exclusivelegoland, promotion, notforretail).
