Is LEGO NINJAGO 10 retired?

What is the price per piece for NINJAGO 10?
At its $30 retail price across 406 pieces, NINJAGO 10 works out to about $0.074 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO NINJAGO 10 a good investment?
NINJAGO 10 currently trades 28.3% above its $30 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 NINJAGO 10 so expensive?
NINJAGO 10 was released in 2021 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.
