LEGO Star Wars Cost Comparison

Here it is! The ultimate price comparison between large Star Wars sets, as well as the Disney Castle. Twenty different sets of various sizes and pricing are compared. Because this comparison spans two decades, I included inflation as well.

So what is a good price for LEGO? What set is the best value? What set is the worst value? I can answer these from a weight perspective, but my guess is most people will still buy them because of what it is.

    This kind of analysis is way more helpful than price per piece and it really shows when you're looking at the 2019 UCS Star Destroyer. Thanks for the great video!
  • you really have a passion for this weight per pound because I know this video probably took you 6 to 8 hours to film with all the taking down. Weighing and put it back up. Nice job.
  • That was a lot of fun to go through. Thanks for taking the time. I’m sure it was fun on your end also, if a bit nerve-wracking as you moved these massive sets. Great job as always.

    Thank you for going through all this effort. Very interesting video
  • This is interesting and also a way more fair comparison instead of ppp. However I also noticed a trend with minifigure inclusion in different sets. The top three you had for best value also didn’t include any minifigures in the set. Another example would be the at-at was $7 more per pound than the Star destroyer but the at-at includes 9 minifigures instead of 2 in the Star destroyer. (I know this isn’t always the case like the red five and landspeeder, it was more something I noticed with bigger sets) great video though!

    This was actually really interesting! Well done man. Although my Red 5 X-Wing is apparently the worst value, it’s still one of my favourite sets, so I guess I can’t put a price on that. I really hope they make a T-70 version one day in the Resistance and Poe’s colour variants 😊

    Awesome video Alex! So great that you did it with weight and not pieces, and also adjusted for inflation! Would love to see a similar video with a few different themes instead of just Star Wars. My gut feeling always tells me that the 3-in-1 creator sets are some of the best value out there.
  • This is a great comparison video certainly brings a new dimension when I look at sets. Thanks you!

    Although the amount of “stuff you get is important”, there’s a variety of other factors that affect price ie: prints, characters, complexity, specialized parts, etc.
  • Very interesting comparison. It really puts things in a different perspective for sure. Very informative video. Thank you.
  • Great Video! I was curious how you would weigh that falcon. I have the same stand and I would not want to mess with hitting off of there and putting it back together. Also glad to see they are all still safe. 😀. It’s interesting that the large and small castle are very similar in price per pound even though they are so varied in size and price.
  • It would be interesting to analyze with the value of the minifigs in mind. If, for example, the Razorcrest has a very valuable minifig subtract that from the weight and cost.
  • @fassifern
    thank you for this thorough analysis. I needed this.
  • @NewEnglandIV
    This was a very interesting breakdown. Great work!
  • @BennyBigIron
    First of all thanks so much for getting the data we’re all always looking for. Really great video😁! I actually find it very interesting and also reasonable that the smaller sets are valued higher per unit of weight. I mean think about how much more fine tuned detail work goes into something like the A-Wing and X-Wing sets. Those sets are more like fine paintings where as the great big Star Destroyers are more like big bombastic posters. They’re still cool, and they’re still great pieces of sculpture, but they just aren’t on the same detail level. Suffice to say I NEED THAT X-WING🤣
  • Great video. As a bonus I would’ve been curious to see your direct comparisons of old vs new for the few UCS sets that have two versions: x-wing, y-wing, snowspeeder and Millenium Falcon.
