    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

      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.

      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.

        $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
