Is LEGO Toa Hordika Matau a good investment?
Toa Hordika Matau currently trades 824.6% above its $9 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market.

Why is LEGO Toa Hordika Matau so expensive?
Toa Hordika Matau was released in 2005 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.
