But....it's a LEGO set....

I mean, I like Legos, but that costs almost as much as my computer.

Legos are also a relatively decent investment. I made $50 on an unopened set I bought last year and sold this year. I'm also sitting on a couple of the Pet Shop modular sets, those went out of production about a year ago and I'm waiting for them to go up to three or four hundred dollars to sell. I'd wager a lot of people are buying this Millennium Falcon to stick it in a closet until it goes out of production and they can resell it for thousands.

I almost bought the one that came out with The Force Awakens, but apparently there was an error at Target and they didn't actually have one in stock when I ordered it for pick up at store.

I'm really glad that happened though, cause it probably would have gotten me back into a Lego addiction I did and do not need.

I can see it easily hitting $10k

I read something about scalper bots that buy up poplular toys on sites like Amazon and Ebay so that scalpers can drive up price.

Could this be because of that?

Kind of.

Once a set is discontinued, they'll flock to stores and buy it out. Then sit on it for a year or two, and then drive the price up super high for people that were late getting it.
