I decided to buy one for display in my shop, it showed $249.99. There was a $65 coupon that auto applied, but it also added a minifigure popcorn bucket but that was only $2.50. All said my bill was $201.67USD.
Seems to be ~50% more expensive than official Lego sets (cost per Lego piece), it’s not terribly too much considering it’s kind of 3rd party custom stuff

I think you missed the 3 on 350%, to make a 45c/pc cost or 4.5x . We could argue inflation takes the base to 20c/pc but then that’s still a 2.25x markup.

You are also paying for the seller to buy the LEGO bricks and resell them, there has to be a mark up of some kind.

$250/818pc= $0.31/pc but yeah looks like 50% markup is a bit off. Comparing to this xwing set at similar set price $240/1953pc= $0.12/pc
That’s 250% more than official sets which doesn’t seem too ridiculous
