Is LEGO Dol Guldur Ambush a good investment?
Dol Guldur Ambush currently trades 364.3% above its $28 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Dol Guldur Ambush so expensive?
Dol Guldur Ambush was released in 2013 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.
