Why is LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™ Monsters Army-Building Set so expensive?
LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™ Monsters Army-Building Set 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.
