I would love to have one of these, but I told my wife that the only way I will buy that one is if we win a Powerball.
I just cannot justify $800 for Lego. Wonder how much they have in that set, $50 in plastic? |

It's on my Christmas list.
I missed the last one as a set, but I ended up buying all of the pieces and building one anyway. |

Probably less than that in actual plastic.
My understanding is that their actual production costs are more wrapped around the equipment, molds, maintenance, etc. And then there is the cost for the designers, licensing, etc. $0.10 per piece is pretty standard pricing on sets these days. At $800 most of the pricing complaints I have seen from people who are truly interested is more based on the fact that it should be closer to $750 at $0.10 per piece. Still not a cheap set. But a damn cool one. |

The catch with the old UCS Falcon is that the interest in it exploded after they stopped manufacturing it. So the $500 set has gone for as high as $5k on eBay for an unopened box, and $2500-3k for an open one. |
