What is the price per piece for Crab?
At its $20 retail price across 78 pieces, Crab works out to about $0.256 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Crab a good investment?
Crab currently trades 224.8% above its $20 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 Crab so expensive?
Crab was released in 1998 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.
