Is LEGO Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle a good investment?
Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle currently trades 149.9% above its $87 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle so expensive?
Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle was released in 2010 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.
