So, you've come into some unexpected cash—maybe you won your office pool, a bank made an error in your favor, or you got a hefty tax refund. What are you planning to do with that windfall? You could be sensible and add it to your savings account. Or, you might choose to indulge in a high-end, multi-thousand piece LEGO set, build it, and proudly display it in your home. It's all about setting priorities. And let's not forget, having fun is crucial, even for adults.
LEGO sets have never been budget-friendly, and the high-end models are pricier than ever. The company attributes this to their stringent quality controls: LEGO bricks are rigorously tested against gravity, pressure, and even human saliva. When you add in the costs of third-party licensing agreements for their collaborative partnerships, the price tags quickly escalate.
The most affordable LEGO set starts at around $10, while the priciest one can exceed $800. For those intrigued by the luxury of LEGO, here's a list of the 15 most expensive sets available as of January 2025. We hope not to see even higher prices in the future, but given the trend, it's likely.
