LEGOs have never been cheap. The quintessential construction toy has always stood out from its competitors and its copies thanks to the quality and design of its sets, and that has to be paid for. Even so, there are sets with normal prices and special sets that are prohibitively expensive. Did you know that there are sets that are worth almost 1.000 euros? Today we will talk about the most expensive sets that exist from LEGO.
The most expensive LEGO sets you can buy
You will not only need space on the shelf. You will also have to reserve a significant budget if you want to get hold of the largest and most complete sets in the entire LEGO catalog. Some kits from the Danish brand may surprise you not only because of their creativity or their number of pieces, but also because of their price. What models are we talking about?
The price of some of these sets is frankly surprising, but we must take into account that behind these constructions are hidden extremely complex designs that come accompanied by licenses for which you have to pay. This is especially reflected in the sets with the Star Wars stamp, some models that usually occupy the highest positions on the table.
Millennium Falcon
El Millenium Falcon It is the most expensive set that we can find in the official LEGO store at the moment. It is such a precious set that it is very difficult to find online. If you are interested, the best option is to buy it directly through the LEGO website.
This spectacular set has a total of NOTE 7.541 and allows you to recreate even the smallest detail of Han Solo's ship. It has many minifigures, specifically, we can drive the ship with all the characters that have climbed on the Millennium Falcon in the Star Wars movies: from Leia to Rey or BB-8.
This set is usually put on sale in a very specific way, although it can be found in the largest LEGO stores in the world.
Price: $799,99
Imperial Star Destroyer
If you're more into Darth Vader, there is another Star Wars set almost as popular and expensive as the Millennium Falcon. This product is extremely coveted and not too easy to find. Also, it's huge. It measures 110 centimeters long and 66 wide. It is one of the largest LEGO sets that have been manufactured, so think carefully before buying it, in case you don't have a place to put it. Another reason not to buy it is that it increases the chances that your wife will throw you out of the house.
The official LEGO online store has available units, but you must be very attentive to the stock since it is usually a product that flies quite easily. The total number of pieces is 4.784 blocks, so you will have a lot of work ahead of you.
Price: $699,99
AT-AT
We continue with Star Wars. This gigantic ground unit has every detail you can imagine. He can fire cannons, take out his soldiers in speeder vehicles and also has his own crew led by General Veers, in a fully articulated cockpit. As if that were not enough, the set also includes Luke with his cable. The LEGO Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT is another over-the-top set only suitable for the biggest LEGO and Star Wars fans. Has NOTE 6.785, and the website itself warns us of the difficulty of getting hold of this model.

Titanic
After this Star Wars triplet, the fourth position goes to the Titanic, a LEGO model that can only be purchased exclusively through its online store. Getting one is practically impossible, but you can join the waiting list and cross your fingers to receive an email that allows you to get the set.
The LEGO Titanic is an absolute barbarity. All the details you imagine are represented in the model. In fact, the ship is divided into three sections that allow you to see its interior with great detail. The most impressive part is its cross section, where you can see each of the ship's floors and its Grand Staircase, the smoking room or even the boilers.
The ship measures 135 centimeters in length and about 44 centimeters in height. You will need a very good display case to be able to display it. Of course, you can show it to the public if you manage to put it together, because it has NOTE 9.090. Come on, you have colored bricks for a while.
Price: $629,99
Coliseum
The Roman Colosseum is the second set with the largest number of pieces in the entire LEGO catalogue. Has 9.036 Bricks, and has much more restrained dimensions than the previous sets.
This set is a challenge for lovers of art and architecture. It is full of details and also recreates part of the surroundings of the arena. Its availability is also quite limited, as is usually the case with all these limited-run products from the Danish brand.
Price: $499,99
Cat D11 Bulldozer
The Caterpillar brand has become very fashionable lately. This excavator manufacturer has replicated the success of John Deere tractors, and now also sells its excavators as toys.
However, this LEGO model is not exactly for children. It is a model that has NOTE 3.854 and that it is motorized. It has a remote control system managed from the smartphone application. Thanks to it, it can move with its caterpillar system, as well as move the drag blade and even lift small objects upwards. This LEGO Tecnic recreates the real movements of the vehicle and is a challenge for those who enjoy construction, technology and mechanics.

Hogwarts castle
If you are an authentic potterhead, this set will be your downfall. The most famous school of magic in the world has its own recreation in this set of NOTE 6.020. Just like the Titanic, the castle can be opened in several sections and you can see all the details inside. Among the most interesting rooms are the Great Hall, the Chamber of Secrets, the classrooms and even the towers. In addition, you can also recreate the surroundings of the castle, such as the Whomping Willow or Hagrid's cabin.
The set includes a total of 31 minifigures and is not easy to find in stores, although it can be reserved through the LEGO website.
Price: $419,99
Diagon Alley
The next great LEGO set on this list is also from the JK Rowling universe. As you will remember, it is the shopping center par excellence of the Harry Potter universe in which Hogwarts wizards buy school supplies for the next year at the school of magic and wizardry.
The set is made up of four parts and has NOTE 5.544. The stores are recreated with great detail. Highlights include Ollivander's wand shop, Flourish and Blotts bookstore, Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlor or the Weasley Wizards shop. This set was released for the anniversary of the release of the young wizard movies and is exclusive to the LEGO online store, so it is possible that it will disappear in a few months after the sale.
Price: $399,99
Lamborghini Sian FKP
The ultimate set for "cryptobros" is this LEGO Technic set where you can recreate the Lamborghini sián. It has NOTE 3.696 and many of them are completely mobile and motorized. The vehicle's cockpit is impressively recreated, but it's not the only element that isn't missing a detail. The V12 engine and 8-speed gearbox are perfectly recreated. Also the four-wheel drive, so take a look while you move the car to see how it works on a mechanical level.
Price: $399,99
