Is LEGO Cole's Earth Driller a good investment?
Cole's Earth Driller currently trades 648.2% above its $28 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Cole's Earth Driller so expensive?
Cole's Earth Driller was released in 2012 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.
