Why is LEGO Spy Jet Escape so expensive?
Spy Jet Escape was released in 2011 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.
