Is LEGO Polaris I Space Lab retired?
Yes — Polaris I Space Lab (6972-1) has been retired by LEGO and is no longer in production. Retired sets have fixed supply, which is why their prices are driven purely by the resale market.
Why is LEGO Polaris I Space Lab so expensive?
Polaris I Space Lab was released in 1987 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.
