Don’t get me wrong, I think Lego sets are typically way more expensive than they should be, but this doesn’t seem outrageous to me given the scale of the set.
Average price per piece for Lego is $0.10-$0.15. This one is coming in at about $0.11 which is on the cheaper side. You’re right that the sheer size and complexity is what makes it $1,000.
Yeah, now think of how many 1x1 pieces there are in here that adds to piece count. As I’ve built a few more sets recently, the amount of 1x1 is rediculous given they could use 2x1 or 3x1 in many situations I’ve seen their usage in. And it’s in almost every single set.
It’s also 9000 pieces.
