Mhm... that's a bit pricey, eh? But the Minifigs are neat.
It's 3700 pieces. Frankly considering the license I was expecting it to be much worse.
Honestly, if I learned 1 thing from watching Lego masters is that you def don't need to buy these kits for astronomical money when you can probably find a quick youtube video of some hobbiest making it out of everyday bricks instead of all these special ones made only for this kit. Not to say normal Lego bricks are cheap, but if you have a bunch lying around from older sets you can probably still make this.
Unless you have existing parts, it’s actually more expensive to part them out with official LEGO pieces. The cheaper way of doing it is buying in bulk, but you’ll wind up with twice as many pieces to get all the pieces you need.
The other way, is knockoff bricks, but it’s still usually more expensive than the Lego kits.
Bottom line, it’s only cheap if you have the pieces already.
Right but that's also if you're doing the exact build brick for brick. My whole point is that you don't need to copy brick for brick if you get creative with other pieces. I also stated that you needed to already have the legos for this to be cheaper.
Very few kits use custom parts, and if they are mass produced (usually are after being in a kit) you can get them for decent pricing after. Colour replacements usually don’t cost more, but using a bunch of 1x2s to replace 1x12s will make a weaker product that costs more since those 6 pieces cost more.
And if you have those parts, in reality, you’ve already spent the money and just right there that makes it more expensive anyways.
Definitely. Those prices are getting out of hand, and people should consider building equivalent sets from existing pieces
This is 360 for a 3700 piece set, under the .10 per piece rule of thumb that Lego has loosely hovered around since the 90s. It's pricey cause it's huge.
Also just look at that brick-built dragon! it looks similar in size to the 71766 Lloyd's Legendary Dragon, which is itself pretty big.
I think the Beholder is shy
Yeah, this is bought.
