The Most Expensive LEGO Sets in History (& Why They Cost So Dang Much)

Building with LEGOs is a popular hobby, but it’s getting more and more expensive. There are so many different LEGO sets available, and their prices have been steadily rising, likely due to inflation and increasingly complex designs. While LEGO sets generally cost more now than they did in the past, some particularly rare or elaborate sets have incredibly high price tags, appealing only to dedicated collectors.

  • Colosseum 10276 — $549.99
  • The Razor Crest 75331 — $599.99
  • Eiffel Tower 10307 — $629.99
  • Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser 75367 — $649.99
  • Titanic 10294 — $679.99
  • Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 42146 — $699.99
  • Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 — $699.99
  • AT-AT 75313 — $849.99
  • Millennium Falcon 75192 — $849.99
  • Death Star 75419 — $999.99

This list reflects the LEGO set’s price at the time of release, not adjusted for inflation.

LEGO Icons 10276 Colosseum

Price $549.99
Pieces 9036
Release Year 2020
Available for Purchase? Retired Product

Even the least expensive LEGO set mentioned here costs over $500. The LEGO Icons Colosseum is a detailed, large-scale model of the famous Roman landmark, built to closely resemble the ancient arena known for gladiator battles. Its high price – originally $549.99 – comes from the fact that it contains over 9,000 pieces and is recommended for builders age 18 and up. However, this particular set has been discontinued, making it difficult to find at its original price.

LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest

Price $599.99
Pieces 6187
Release Year 2022
Available for Purchase? Yes

Next up is the Razor Crest, the famous ship from Disney+’s The Mandalorian. Din Djarin pilots it with his companion, Grogu. This LEGO set includes minifigures of both of them, as well as the Mythrol, Kuiil, and a Blurrg. There are actually two LEGO Razor Crest sets available. This one is more detailed and intended for experienced builders, with a higher piece count and price tag. A smaller, 1023-piece set was released in 2020 and is better suited for play. Although it costs more than the LEGO Icons Colosseum despite having fewer pieces, the price difference could be due to the fact that it was released two years later.

LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower

Price $629.99
Pieces 10001
Release Year 2022
Available for Purchase? Yes

The new LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower is a massive building set, surpassing the Colosseum in both price and size. With over 10,000 pieces and a price tag nearly $100 higher than the Colosseum, it’s truly impressive. Standing at almost 59 inches tall, this detailed replica of the famous Paris landmark is more like a large decorative piece than a typical LEGO model. While a smaller, 12-inch Eiffel Tower was previously available in the LEGO Architecture series (with 321 pieces), it’s no longer being produced.

LEGO Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser

Price $649.99
Pieces 5374
Release Year 2023
Available for Purchase? Yes

Many of the most expensive LEGO Star Wars sets share a common trait, and the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser is no exception, currently ranking as one of the priciest. Surprisingly, it has the fewest pieces of any set on this list so far. Its high price could be due to it being a newer release affected by inflation, or simply because of the enduring popularity of Star Wars. Released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Clone Wars, the set includes minifigures of Captain Rex and Admiral Yularen.

LEGO Icons Titanic

Price $679.99
Pieces 9090
Release Year 2021
Available for Purchase? Yes

The LEGO Titanic is the latest incredibly detailed and expensive set from the LEGO Icons series. Unlike many other large LEGO builds, this one isn’t a building – it’s a remarkably accurate model of the famous ship. With over 9,000 pieces, the set is a feat of engineering in itself, and it’s designed to be easily taken apart in sections so you can explore its detailed interior. At over 53 inches long, it’s a massive build best suited for those fascinated by history or the Titanic movie – and who have plenty of space to display it!

LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000

Price $699.99
Pieces 2883
Release Year 2023
Available for Purchase? Sold Out

The Liebherr Crawler Crane is a massive LEGO set, reaching almost 40 inches tall, and offers impressive functionality. Using the LEGO Technic Control+ app, builders can operate the crane remotely, controlling its rotation, movement, and winch. Despite having fewer pieces than some other large sets, the numerous remote-controlled features justify its higher price.

LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer

Price $699.99
Pieces 4784
Release Year 2019
Available for Purchase? Retired Product

Following the Millennium Falcon, the next most expensive LEGO set is the Imperial Star Destroyer from the beginning of A New Hope. It costs the same as the Liebherr Crawler Crane, but it was released four years earlier. When you factor in inflation, the Star Destroyer is actually more expensive and contains nearly twice as many pieces. Though it doesn’t move as much as the Crane, this LEGO Star Destroyer includes Imperial Officer and Crewmember minifigures, plus a display stand and information plaque as part of the Ultimate Collector Series.

LEGO Star Wars AT-AT

Price $849.99
Pieces 6785
Release Year 2021
Available for Purchase? Retired Product

The new LEGO Star Wars AT-AT is a huge set, and it comes with a hefty price tag – nearly $150 more than any previous LEGO Star Wars set. With over 6,000 pieces and 9 minifigures, it allows fans to build a scene from the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. This Ultimate Collector Series set features realistic, posable legs and a highly detailed interior.

LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon

Price $849.99
Pieces 7541
Release Year 2017
Available for Purchase? Yes

The Millennium Falcon is arguably the most famous spaceship from Star Wars and remains a highly sought-after LEGO set. Originally released in 2017, it’s still available for purchase at a significant price of $850. Although it shares the highest price point with another set, considering inflation, this version was more expensive when it first came out. This particular LEGO Millennium Falcon brings together characters from both the original and sequel trilogies, featuring minifigures like Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO from The Empire Strikes Back, alongside Rey, Finn, BB-8, and an older Han Solo from The Force Awakens.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star

Price $999.99
Pieces 9023
Release Year 2025
Available for Purchase? Yes

Throughout the years, LEGO has released several Death Star sets, but the newest one is currently the most expensive ever made, costing $1,000. Released just a few months ago, this incredibly detailed set contains over 9,000 pieces and includes 38 minifigures, letting Star Wars fans recreate their favorite moments. It’s not a perfect sphere like the Death Star in the movies; instead, it’s a detailed cross-section showing off key areas like the hangar bay, trash compactor, and even Emperor Palpatine’s throne room. This set highlights just how pricey LEGOs have become, and it’s likely we’ll see an even more expensive set released soon.
