Is LEGO Heavy Lift Helicopter retired?
Yes — Heavy Lift Helicopter (42052-1) has been retired by LEGO and is no longer in production. Retired sets have fixed supply, which is why their prices are driven purely by the resale market.

What is the price per piece for Heavy Lift Helicopter?
At its $140 retail price across 1,043 pieces, Heavy Lift Helicopter works out to about $0.134 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Heavy Lift Helicopter a good investment?
Heavy Lift Helicopter currently trades 80.3% above its $140 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 Heavy Lift Helicopter so expensive?
Heavy Lift Helicopter was released in 2016 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.
