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

As time goes on, the hobby of collecting and building LEGOs is becoming increasingly expensive. Not only are the hundreds of LEGO sets available at any given time, but the individual prices of each have steadily increased, either due to inflation or due to the complexity of the sets being released. While the average price of a LEGO set might be higher than it was 10 or 15 years ago, there have been several sets throughout history that come with a price tag so eye-watering that only the most hardcore collectors would be willing to shell out for them.

• 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

Every LEGO Set Rumored and Confirmed for 2026 (& How Much Damage They’ll Do to Your Finances)

LEGO is about to release multiple new waves of sets for its big series as well as new ones, and here is everything you should know ahead of 2026.

LEGO Icons 10276 Colosseum

Even the cheapest LEGO set on this list still comes in with a hefty price tag of over $500. The LEGO Icons Colosseum is a scale model of the iconic Roman landmark designed to accurately replicate the ancient amphitheater that has become synonymous with gladiatorial combat. What makes this intricate set so expensive is the over 9,000 pieces it boasts, which also contribute to its suggested age rating of 18+. Unfortunately, the LEGO Icons Colosseum set has since been retired, so finding it at its original $549.99 MSRP will be quite tricky.

LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest

Next on the list is the iconic ship from Disney+’s The Mandalorian, the Razor Crest, which is piloted by the titular character Din Djarin with his companion Grogu by his side. Both of these characters are featured as minifigs in this set, along with minifigs for the Mythrol, Kuiil, and a Blurrg. There are actually two LEGO sets based on the Razor Crest, this one as well as a smaller set of only 1023 pieces released 2 years prior in 2020. However, that set is designed more for play, while the 2022 model is for more advanced builders, hence the increased piece count and price. While it may be more expensive than the LEGO Icons Colosseum set despite having fewer pieces, the 2-year gap between releases could account for the inflated price.

LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower

Another entry in the LEGO Icons series, the Eiffel Tower set eclipses the Colosseum set in terms of both price and size. This set features just over 10,000 pieces and is almost $100 more than the LEGO Icons Colosseum set. However, the LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower set is a beauty to behold. Based on the centerpiece that looms over Paris, France, the LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower set stands at a whopping 59 inches tall, making it a behemoth of a set that is more like a piece of furniture than a model. A smaller version of the Eiffel Tower was released as part of the LEGO Architecture series, standing only 12 inches high at 321 pieces, but this set has since been retired.

LEGO Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser

A common theme of expensive LEGO Star Wars sets is starting to emerge here, with the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser claiming the next most expensive spot on this list. Despite being the set with the fewest pieces listed so far, this LEGO Star Wars set is coming in as the most expensive to this point. Part of this price could be due to the set releasing more recently than the others and taking a hit from inflation, but it could also be that the popularity of the Star Wars franchise has earned the set a premium price point. The Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser set was released in honor of the Clone Wars‘ 20th anniversary, and it includes minifigs for Captain Rex and Admiral Yularen.

LEGO Icons Titanic

Another entry in the LEGO Icons series takes the spot for the next most expensive LEGO set of all time, and it’s not a building this time. The ill-fated ship Titanic is the subject of this set, and this LEGO version is almost as much of a marvel of engineering as its real-life counterpart. Coming in at just over 9,000 pieces, the LEGO Icons Titanic set is notable for its attention to detail, especially with the set’s ability to be easily segmented so that builders can look inside for a robust cross-section. This is another massive set that sits at 53 inches long, making it a set geared toward history enthusiasts (or fans of the James Cameron movie) with room to spare for a model of this scale.

LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000

Not only is the Liebherr Crawler Crane another large LEGO set standing at 39 inches high, but it comes with more functionality than another of the other sets on this list. This LEGO Technic set comes with Control+ app functionality, allowing builders to remotely control the crane and perform a variety of operations. The crane can be rotated around the base, the treads can move to propel the crane forward, and the winch can even be raised and lowered. While the overall piece count may be comparatively lower, it has so many remote control moving parts that the high price makes sense.

LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer

The iconic Star Wars ship from the opening scene of A New Hope is the next most expensive LEGO set, tied with the Liebherr Crawler Crane in terms of price, but releasing 4 years prior. As such, the Imperial Star Destroyer is the more expensive of the two when accounting for inflation, and it has almost double the pieces. While this Star Destroyer doesn’t have the same articulation as the Crawler Crane, it does come with Imperial Officer and Imperial Crewmember minifigs and an Ultimate Collector Series stand and fact plaque.

LEGO Star Wars AT-AT

Another massive LEGO Star Wars set, the AT-AT also takes a massive leap in price, jumping up nearly $150 from the previous most expensive set. Boasting well over 6,000 pieces and 9 minifigs, this LEGO Star Wars set lets collectors recreate the battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. The AT-AT has posable legs and an intricately detailed interior worthy of its Ultimate Collector Series status.

LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon

Arguably the most iconic Star Wars ship and one of the most popular LEGO sets is the Millennium Falcon. Despite being from 2017, this set can still be purchased for its hefty $850 price tag. While this again ties it with the previous most expensive set, the inflation of having been released 4 years prior makes this set the pricier of the two when at launch. This Millennium Falcon set ties together the classic trilogy with the modern sequel trilogy, including minifigs of the crew from The Empire Strikes Back: Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO, as well as the crew from The Force Awakens: an older Han Solo, Rey, Finn, and BB-8.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star

While there have been several LEGO sets based on the Death Star throughout history, this one holds the record for being the most expensive LEGO set of all time at $1,000. Released only a couple months ago, this LEGO Death Star set is incredibly detailed at over 9,000 pieces, and it includes a whopping 38 minifigs to allow Star Wars fans to recreate iconic scenes from throughout the franchise. The set is not a perfect sphere like the actual Death Star, but rather a cross-section of the Imperial base that showcases everything from the hanger to the trash compactor and even Palpatine’s throne room. Ultimately, the recency of this set just goes to show how expensive LEGOs as a whole have become, and it’s likely a new most expensive set will be crowned in the near future.
