Is LEGO Lightning McQueen & Mater's Car Wash Fun a good investment?
Lightning McQueen & Mater's Car Wash Fun currently trades 66.7% above its $30 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Lightning McQueen & Mater's Car Wash Fun so expensive?
Lightning McQueen & Mater's Car Wash Fun was released in 2023 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.
