Is LEGO Coast Guard Helicopter & Life Raft a good investment?

Coast Guard Helicopter & Life Raft currently trades 10.7% above its $61 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Coast Guard Helicopter & Life Raft so expensive?

Coast Guard Helicopter & Life Raft 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.
