Is LEGO Castle Giant Chess Set a good investment?
Castle Giant Chess Set currently trades 1447.0% above its $304 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Castle Giant Chess Set so expensive?
Castle Giant Chess Set was released in 2008 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.
