Is LEGO The Tower of Orthanc™ a good investment?
The Tower of Orthanc™ currently trades 852.5% above its $200 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO The Tower of Orthanc™ so expensive?
The Tower of Orthanc™ was released in 2013 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.
