Is LEGO Plumber retired?

What is the price per piece for Plumber?
At its $3 retail price across 6 pieces, Plumber works out to about $0.498 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Plumber a good investment?
Plumber currently trades 527.1% above its $3 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 Plumber so expensive?
Plumber was released in 2013 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.
