Is LEGO Rescue from the Merpeople a good investment?
Rescue from the Merpeople currently trades 552.1% above its $32 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Rescue from the Merpeople so expensive?
Rescue from the Merpeople was released in 2005 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.
