Is LEGO Sonar Transmitting Cruiser a good investment?
Sonar Transmitting Cruiser currently trades 827.9% above its $149 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Sonar Transmitting Cruiser so expensive?
Sonar Transmitting Cruiser was released in 2002 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.
