Is LEGO The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell a good investment?
The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell currently trades 98.1% above its $160 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell so expensive?
The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell was released in 2023 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.
