Is LEGO Blue Deer retired?
Yes — Blue Deer (3517-1) has been retired by LEGO and is no longer in production. Retired sets have fixed supply, which is why their prices are driven purely by the resale market.

What is the price per piece for Blue Deer?
At its $4 retail price across 10 pieces, Blue Deer works out to about $0.350 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Blue Deer a good investment?
Blue Deer currently trades 345.7% above its $4 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market. Past performance is not a prediction — condition, packaging and how long you hold all affect what a set actually sells for. BrickStats reports the numbers rather than giving investment advice.
Why is LEGO Blue Deer so expensive?
Blue Deer was released in 2003 and has since retired. Once LEGO stops producing a set, the only supply is what is already in circulation, so sealed copies in good condition compete for a shrinking pool of stock. That scarcity, not the parts, is what moves the price.
