Personally I think Disney is making LEGO charge more for sets because when Disney bought Star Wars, that’s when people started complaining about LEGO prices and we all know that Disney is a greedy company

I think, like with a lot of the sequels, Finn could have been a great character, his potential just wasn't used to its fullest like the rest of the new characters and ideas. From the first trailer it was so exciting to see a stormtrooper take off their helmet and the idea that we would have an inside look at "the bad guys," but I feel it kind of went nowhere for him.

When you want to see the aproximative value of a set, all you have to do is to divide the number of pieces and divide it with 10. And, if it's from a licensed theme, you should add 10 dollars more. And for not licensed theme, the price should be sill the number that you get after you divide the number of pieces with 10. That's how you can see if the price is fair or not.

The main problem where I see it being too expensive is the types of pieces. For example, the new General Grievous set is 80 dollars and its only 400 pieces, and ITS BIG PIECES. When most of a set is made of large pieces, it should be cheaper, if it is a lot of smaller, detail pieces I could understand but, Grievous's ship is literally made of 5 major size pieces with some smaller details. I can buy an entire building set with 3 floors, furnishings, figures, and plenty of outside details for the architecture for the same price as 1 space ship. I think they are taking advantage of demand, perhaps that is disney's doing but, hard to tell.

For Canada, the Canada vs US Dollar has been roughly the same. The problem is that the markup between Canada and USD price has increased. Before a $50 USD set will be $60 CAD. Not it is $70 CAD. A $80 USD set will be $100 CAD. Now it is $110 CAD. Lego mos eisley. The biggest example is 75222 and 75290. Both are $350 USD but in Canada $400 CAD vs $450 CAD. Also lego has gradually increased pricess for similiar size sets. The 2020 poe x wing got increased $10. I don't think pieces are an accurate way to describe size. The box is probably the best defining one. Knights of Ren Transport and General Grievous Starfighters have really small boxes for their price.

It really comes down to 1. Newer specialised pieces costing more than an average brick or plate, which they’ve obviously been increasing in use, especially technic in system sets. Also, technology as they are also ‘evolving’ Lego pieces with more frequent uses of dual moulded pieces for their best selling series like the Super Heroes theme and Ninjago, and soon, Monkie Kid. 2. Licensing as he said at the end. There’s a reason series like City and Ninjago have much better deals, as there’s no licensing fees, which obviously Disney is making high, but Lego continues to pay for it as they’re obviously still getting good profit from it and also attention, as someone who might nippy really play or buy Lego might look at a set (like the razor crest) and buy it. 3. Oil prices. Pretty simple if you understand what’s going on with oil, or fossil fuels as a whole. 4. Marketing team... they know a lot of people are gonna buy it anyways even if overpriced, no doubt about that. No matter how you look at it now, Lego is a more, how to put, premium toy product. Obviously not the level of premium of apple, but the name Lego itself, shows quality, maybe not in the build, but the pieces. They know if someone wants a quality gift, this will be on the list. I mean it’s bliming Lego.

I absolutely LOVE Lego Star Wars. Something I’ve been into my whole life. But I refuse to pay so much money for these sets when really all I want is the mini figures. I just go online and buy mini figures for sale because that’s the coolest part to me personally. Then when a really cool set catches my eye I’ll buy it because I rarely buy sets anyways. It’s just the way you look at it. I’m more into collecting the rare stuff and mini figures only. And I think that’s the best way to spend your money. No need to buy the entire set when you can just buy the mini figures. I just buy well sized display sets. I had to get the comic con exclusive 40 year anniversary Luke vs Vader because it was $75 on eBay the day after it came out. Now it’s worth around $140 or something. You just gotta be watching and pay attention. You can honestly make money with lego if you’re smart.

I want to get the LEGO Rebel X-Wing but it is way too expensive. I remember I recently got the Resistance Y-Wing and that thing was not worth the $60 it asked for. At most that was a $30-$40 set. The abilities of the ship are small in number as well as generic, the figures aren’t very rare, and it isn’t as good to look at as previous Y-Wings. I also got the advent calendar and none of those figures or mini-sets are worth the prices they are asking for on Amazon and Target. The lowest I could find was $30 from Walmart. The only set this year that I think was worthy of being as expensive as it was is The Razor Crest. There is no wasted space and the entire ship is accessible. Not to mention the figures are very good quality (despite Mando not having his Beskar armor but that’s a small detail).

Price per pound...Lego fans need to gauge how good or bad the price is based on price per pound and not price per piece. Its the only way to really tell. The spaceport from 2015 (set 60080) was $35 a pound and the Mountain hut from 2014 (set 31025) was $18 a pound. Both had almost the same piece count. The two star wars sets you mention...Set 75272 Sith TIE Fighter is $36 a pound and set 75292 The Razor Crest is $33 per pound. Compare those to...Set 10270 Bookshop $28 per pound Set 75969 Hogwarts Astronomy Tower is $31 per pound Set 31109 Pirate Ship is $22 per pound Lastly to go really old, I remember set 6074 Black Falcon Fortress was about $30 when it came out in 1986. It weighed about 2.15 LBS meaning that its around $14 a pound, and that was about 35 years ago.

I never saw before an old x-wing set (with lego system logo) before that moment, so nostalgia can't do nothing with me, but i think that old set is feels better, like new one looks more like a toy/model that can be constructed and taken apart, than a construction toy that you created by yourself and can do whatever you want with that. Also new pieces that have limited use in only one set, and i'm talking not about unique colors or printings

Liscesing expenses and cuts, fixed costs, costs spent on the new lego house in Denmark or whatever, plus covid hurting a businesses bottom line. It sucks as consumers but they’re a genuinely good business and I don’t think they’re trying to rob us or anything. Just all apart of this time and age as well as lego expanding

Has little to do with what you mentioned in the video. A lot of the pieces are custom made for that specific set. Every piece lego makes must be precisely cut or else it won't fit. All this production costs a lot time and money. In a nut shell thats why the high price tag.

It's not worth it. You can buy from Cada, Xingbao, Cobi etc and often get double the LEGO stuff and the quality is not inferior at all. It's on par easily. They have tons of great and unique sets and they slowly get their hands on more and more licenses too. I don't see a single reason to get ripped off by LEGO if I can just buy another companies product instead. Especially Cada is fantastic if you're into cars.

The quality is better, but the designs also cut corners in size. I know lego sets aren't always to scale, but what's the point of troop transports when you can't even fit troops inside? Compare the clone wars carriers, to the imperial cruiser from the Mandalorian, you're getting less bang for your buck, and it's a lotta bucks

It was good decission buy fake X-wing on Aliexpress for 25-35 dolars? Please answer.

I think its very unfair to use price per piece as the main metric on the value of a set. The reason why price per piece had gotten so low is because legos design team values small gribble detailing and strutural integrity into their sets much more than they did even 10 years ago. This means that even though the set may be 1000 pieces for $100 It would now be equivelent in size to maybe around a $60 dollar set from 2009 because they originally mainly focused on getting the look of the set just by getting the general shape down and didnt care as much about small details and structure. Which means a lot of tiny pieces usually wasnt included. Its difficult to analyze this as size for money cant really be calculated the same way as price per piece but its much more than just nostalgia goggles on why lego is getting more expensive.

Off topic from starwars Lego City sets on lego.com are 150$+ each That is madly ridiculous, also, fin isn’t that great to overprice him, he’s probably iverpriced rn because he’s from the latest starwars movie and because he’s related to the latest & one of the highest paid movie, its gonna be expensive. Its a high cash out on something they’re available to
