Is LEGO New York City retired?

What is the price per piece for New York City?
At its $60 retail price across 598 pieces, New York City works out to about $0.100 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO New York City a good investment?
New York City currently trades 15.2% above its $60 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 New York City so expensive?
New York City 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.
