Is LEGO Heartlake Hot Air Balloon a good investment?
Heartlake Hot Air Balloon currently trades 7.3% below its $41 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Heartlake Hot Air Balloon so expensive?
Heartlake Hot Air Balloon was released in 2015 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.
