Is LEGO Shelob Attacks a good investment?

Shelob Attacks currently trades 663.4% above its $28 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Shelob Attacks so expensive?

Shelob Attacks was released in 2012 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.
