Is LEGO Darth Vader's TIE Fighter a good investment?
Darth Vader's TIE Fighter currently trades 477.8% above its $45 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Darth Vader's TIE Fighter so expensive?
Darth Vader's TIE Fighter 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.
