Is LEGO Mirkwood Elf Guard a good investment?
Mirkwood Elf Guard currently trades 442.6% above its $7 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Mirkwood Elf Guard so expensive?
Mirkwood Elf Guard was released in 2012 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.
