Hell yeah. Some rare older sets that aren't sold anymore can go several times their original price, especially in mint condition. I guess Lego saw the huge markups on the second hand market and thought they were selling themselves short and so decided to capitalized on it themselves instead of the sellers, by raising prices and focusing more on limited edition sets with various IP branding partnerships, turning what was once a kid's toy into a collector's item or even a potential investment opportunity. It's just corporations being corporations.
