Is LEGO Turbo 1 retired?

What is the price per piece for Turbo 1?

Is LEGO Turbo 1 a good investment?
Turbo 1 currently trades 204.0% above its $10 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market. Past performance is not a prediction — condition, packaging and how long you hold all affect what a set actually sells for. BrickStats reports the numbers rather than giving investment advice.
Why is LEGO Turbo 1 so expensive?
Turbo 1 was released in 1997 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.
