LEGO Price Increase List 2024

LEGO Creator 3-in-1

Two LEGO sets within the Creator 3-in-1 line inspired by retro motifs have been subject to price increases. This includes the enduring 31109 Pirate Ship model, scheduled for retirement in late 2024. Its former manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $99.99 has been raised to $119.99, constituting a $20 or 20% augmentation. Additionally, the 31115 Space Mining Mech construction saw its price elevated from $19.99 to $24.99, an absolute increase of $5 and proportional growth of 20%. These adjustments to items targeting nostalgia-driven builders represent a notable cost escalation for patrons of the toy brand’s revisitation of classic themes.

LEGO Disney

Price increases within the Disney Princess theme were relatively modest, consistent with the typically compact nature of sets within this category. While facing adjustments, the scale was smaller than others. For example, set 43197 The Ice Castle received a $20 increase, constituting a limited 5% proportional rise from its original price point. Conversely, 71040 The Disney Castle – likely owing to its planned retirement in the current year – avoided any increase to its manufacturer’s suggested retail price. The predominance of compact builds within Disney Princess resulted in smaller absolute price bumps for consumers, with only the largest set receiving a more substantial adjustment commensurate with its larger scale and parts count.

LEGO DOTS

The DOTS product line from LEGO was also impacted by broader 2022 price increases, though to a more limited extent than some other themes. Specifically, only three DOTS sets experienced adjustments. Each saw a modest $5 increase in their manufacturer’s suggested retail prices. While a relatively small change individually, collectively the rises equate to percentage changes of 8%, 16%, and another 16% respectively for sets 41961, 41957, and 41960. While DOTS adjustments were narrow in scope, impacting just three items, the data suggests even minor increases across a complete collection could represent a meaningful aggregated cost uptick for devoted fans of this colorful building genre.

LEGO DUPLO

Price increases across the DUPLO product category were limited in scope. Modest bumps of $5 and $10 were applied to select sets, correlating to percentage changes generally in the 8-12% range. A sole exception was seen for model 10963 Spider-Man & Friends Funfair Adventure, which faced a larger $10 or 20% increase.

Given that DUPLO builds are designed for younger audiences, minimal increases across most items will benefit parents and guardians shopping for engaging gifts. However, the steeper 20% hike on the popular superhero-themed 10963 sets may pose a harder cost to absorb for some families despite DUPLO’s affordability relative to other LEGO themes.

LEGO Friends

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the LEGO Friends product line, the LEGO Group paradoxically instituted price increases on three new 2022 sets from this theme. Each of these model designs saw their manufacturer’s suggested retail prices augmented by $10, representing proportional changes ranging from 6% to 16%. Specifically, the largest LEGO Friends set to date – the 1,682-piece 41704 Main Street Building – was impacted with a $10 (6%) increase. Additionally, sets 41709 Vacation Beach House and 41718 Pet Day-Care Centre experienced $10 hikes equating to 14% and 16% adjustments respectively. While commemorating a milestone, the anniversary celebrations for some appear to have been accompanied by steeper costs for fans of this mini-doll-based construction system.

LEGO Harry Potter

Substantial price increases across the Wizarding World LEGO theme. All new direct-to-consumer sets received notable adjustments, with 71043 Hogwarts Castle experiencing the most severe impact. Its original $399.99 MSRP faced an absolute increase of $70 for a 17% proportional rise. Sets 75978 Diagon Alley and 76391 Hogwarts Icons Collectors’ Edition each saw augmentations of $50, representing respective increases of 12% and 20%.

Models 76388, 76389, and 75968 had bumps of $10 equating to rises between 12-15%. Even loyal fans fond of the miniature 76399 Hogwarts Magical Trunk faced a $5 (8%) increase. Appreciable rises across the entire Wizarding World portfolio signal fans may require sizeable financial reserves to weather anticipated price adjustments for this beloved intellectual property.

LEGO ICONS

LEGO ICONS product line, aimed at adult collectors and fans, has experienced widespread price increases. A plausible rationale could be an assumption that this demographic is better able to afford adjustments relative to youth-oriented themes. Several signature sets saw disproportionately large markups, such as 10270 Bookshop, 10273 Haunted House, 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1, and 10292 The Friends Apartments, each facing a $30-40 hike equating to a 20% rise. Also, the historically detailed 10294 Titanic model was impacted with an even steeper $50 (12.5%) augmentation to its original MSRP. While likely intended to capitalize on higher discretionary incomes within ICONS’ target demographic, such prominent double-digit percentage increases for enthusiast collections could test the budgets of even the most dedicated AFOLs.

LEGO Ideas

The data provided indicates a challenging environment emerging for fans seeking to accumulate LEGO Ideas collections, as eight separate models within this line experienced price increases simultaneously. Sets 21318 Tree House and 21327 Typewriter suffered the most pronounced adjustments, with both facing proportionate markups of 25%.

Crowd-supported creations 21330 Home Alone and 21323 Grand Piano faced notably elevated costs of $50 each. With over a quarter of available Ideas sets experiencing non-trivial increases, loyal patrons of this line inspired by community concepts may find fulfilling their wish lists becomes meaningfully more expensive. The breadth and size of the adjustments documented deliver difficulties for completionists on a budget and signal strain for a product area reliant on civic engagement.

LEGO Jurassic World

Three sets within the LEGO Jurassic World product category implemented price increases effective August 1st. Fortunately for consumers, the largest and likely most popular of the summer 2022 assortment, set 76956 T. rex Breakout, did not undergo adjustment. However, fans seeking the iconically molded Tyrannosaurus rex figure will find its cost substantially elevated in one offer. Specifically, a 25% price hike has been applied to the set including this component. While details on the specific sets impacted were not disclosed, this premium imposed on obtaining one of the line’s prized miniature figures may challenge the budgets of some devoted collectors of the dinosaur-themed toys.

LEGO Marvel

Minor price increases across several LEGO Marvel building sets pale in comparison to a sizable $50 rise in the cost of last year’s 76178 Daily Bugle model. Given the set’s persistent lack of availability on the LEGO website, it stands to reason that the LEGO Group is capitalizing on what has proven to be a highly sought-after construction toy. Considering the 76178 Daily Bugle’s ongoing popularity amongst consumers despite scarce retail stock, amplifying its retail price point represents a logical business decision for maximizing revenue from a demonstrably popular product.

LEGO Minecraft

The sizable percentage figure listed in the last column belies what is in reality a modest adjustment for those three Minecraft sets. Specifically, each set has increased from $19.99 to $24.99, representing an increment of $5 or approximately 25% according to the math. However, considering the low absolute dollar amount of the change relative to the overall cost, the increases for these Minecraft sets could be characterized as minor. The impact on consumers’ budgets is likely to be far less than for products experiencing larger dollar-value increases. In that context, the price adjustments for these Minecraft construction sets may prove easier for customers to accept compared to some of the more substantial price hikes outlined elsewhere in the data.

LEGO Monkie Kid

The Monkie Kid product line within the LEGO Group’s portfolio already commands among the highest price points, a factor exacerbated by typically limited production runs that correlate with constrained availability in retail markets. As availability is restricted, so too are opportunities for discounted pricing. Recent adjustments have now resulted in further modest price increases to four sets within the Monkie Kid theme, including its two largest and most expensive offerings. With the Monkie Kid collections already positioned within the premium tier of LEGO’s property catalog from a cost perspective, these latest additions to its price points will likely further challenge consumer budgets and affordability, especially without the moderating effect of retail promotions via sale pricing.

The data reveals modest but impactful increases across several major Monkie Kid building sets. The smallest increase of $5 pertains to set 80030 Monkie Kid’s Staff Creations, raising its price from $34.99 to $39.99 or by 14%. Set 80033 Evil Macaque’s Mech received a $10 increase from $79.99 to $89.99, amounting to a 13% adjustment.

The two largest sets, 80036 The City of Lanterns and 80039 The Heavenly Realms, each experienced a $10 rise in their recommended retail prices. However, owing to their higher baseline costs, this translated to smaller percentage changes of 7% and 6% respectively. While the absolute dollar increases are contained, the cumulative effect is to further elevate what is already an expensive product line within the LEGO portfolio in both nominal cost and relative to typical price points. This may add to financial challenges for consumers collecting within this theme.

LEGO NINJAGO

It was anticipated that the retail price of the LEGO set 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens would escalate. Indeed, the price has risen by $50 United States dollars, constituting a sixteen percent increase from its original listed retail cost. This set stands as having the most substantial relative price increase amongst a surprisingly extensive enumeration of NINJAGO-themed LEGO constructions. The sets exhibiting raised secondary market pricing range in the production period from those comprising the winter two-thousand-twenty-one product series through to those of the summer two-thousand-twenty-two series.

LEGO Speed Champions

Upon review of pricing fluctuations for Speed Champions-branded constructions introduced by the LEGO Group for August, it was noted that solely one item had experienced an elevation in recommended retail cost. The specific construction in question constitutes the 2022 product offering comprising two independently designed and scaled automobiles within a single packaging unit centered upon Aston Martin-branded vehicles.

Meanwhile, the singular vehicle configurations maintain an unchanged retail price of $19.99 United States dollars apiece. Analysis indicates these single-car configurations are poised to retain their present listed costs within the domestic market of the United States, despite the two newest offerings—identified as set numbers 76911 007 Aston Martin DB5 and 76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T—presently commanding increased prices relative to their forebears within both the United Kingdom and wider European economic

LEGO Star Wars

Analyses into pricing adjustments for LEGO constructions themed after the Star Wars intellectual property namespace have revealed that the two items previously acknowledged as commanding the highest retail values have each been subject to a further $50 United States dollar increase to their listed costs.

Specifically, sets 75192 Millennium Falcon and 75313 AT-AT now require USD 50 more for the recommended transaction amount. Similarly, configurations 75309 Republic Gunship and 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina have experienced elevations from USD 349.99 to USD 399.99 within the domestic market of the United States. These developments consolidate the positioning of the aforementioned sets as demanding the most financial outlay from prospective consumers amongst LEGO Star Wars products currently available.

LEGO Super Mario

The first two direct-to-consumer Lego sets based on the popular Super Mario franchise have seen price increases compared to the average price hikes of the branded theme’s other buildable course sets. The Lego Super Mario 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System set has risen 17% in price, representing the largest dollar amount increase. While the interactive Lego theme has skillfully maintained pricing on its buildable game-level packages available via regular retail channels, these initial character and gameplay-based sets aimed at direct consumer sales have encountered steeper price adjustments. Time will tell if future interactive set releases in this line continue facing higher cost adjustments or return closer to the theme’s established pricing models.

LEGO Technic

Some recently released Lego Technic sets have undergone price increases within a short period since their initial launch. The 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 set, which debuted this past June, has already received a $50 price hike, making it an even more exclusive item for collectors. Other Technic builds that have experienced sizable rises include the 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 and the construction vehicle 42131 App-Controlled Cat D11 Bulldozer.

Some additional Technic sets have also received more modest adjustments upwards in MSRP. The rapid price increases for certain in-demand sets shortly after their introduction may come as an unwelcome surprise to fans who rushed to purchase them at launch but were unable to find the item at its original lower price point. It remains to be seen if this round of post-release Technic price adjustments is an anomaly or signals a potential shift in pricing strategy for the toy brand’s realistic vehicle model line.

Several of the most recent and highly sought-after Lego Technic sets have received price increases of 10-20% from their original MSRP, just months after launch. Factors like material costs may be driving these adjustments upwards.

Notably, the 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 jumped $50 or 12% to $449.99, underscoring its status as an even more exclusive luxury item after launching in June 2022. Two other flagship sets also saw $50 increases – the 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 and 42131 App-Controlled Cat D11 Bulldozer, representing increases of 12% and 11% respectively.

Smaller but still meaningful rises affected other popular builds such as the 42096 Porsche 911 RSR, 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger, and 42125 Ferrari 488 GTE, all gaining $20-30. More modest adjustments of $5-10 impacted several other vehicle kits.

While price hikes are unwelcome for fans, these data show the Technic theme has remained a premium play experience despite upward adjustments potentially dampening access. It will be interesting to see if future set pricing follows this emerging pattern.
