Is LEGO Speed Racer & Snake Oiler a good investment?
Speed Racer & Snake Oiler currently trades 3376.7% above its $20 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Speed Racer & Snake Oiler so expensive?
Speed Racer & Snake Oiler was released in 2008 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.
