Is LEGO Pooh and his Honeypot a good investment?
Pooh and his Honeypot currently trades 275.2% above its $12 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Pooh and his Honeypot so expensive?
Pooh and his Honeypot was released in 1999 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.
