Is LEGO Valentine's Brown Bear retired?

What is the price per piece for Valentine's Brown Bear?
At its $15 retail price across 245 pieces, Valentine's Brown Bear works out to about $0.061 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Valentine's Brown Bear a good investment?
Valentine's Brown Bear currently trades 93.3% above its $15 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 Valentine's Brown Bear so expensive?
Valentine's Brown Bear was released in 2021 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.
