Complete list of LEGO price increases in the US

Here’s a complete list of every LEGO set affected by the new price increases in the US, which have now taken effect at LEGO.com and in LEGO Stores.

Apparently as a result of ‘increased raw material and operating costs’, the LEGO Group is increasing prices across approximately a quarter of its portfolio worldwide, with some sets going up by as much as 25%. The new prices won’t be implemented in the UK, Europe and the Middle East until September 1, but they’re already live in the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region.

The LEGO Group is obviously not shouting about which sets have gone up in price, but we’ve combed through the entire list of products at LEGO.com to come up with a definitive list of increases in the US. You’ll find a theme-by-theme breakdown of those price rises below, including which sets are affected, their old and new prices, and the difference in both percentage and real dollar terms.

While we don’t yet know whether exactly the same sets will face price rises in the UK and Europe in September, you’re probably best grabbing anything you’re after from this list before then, just in case.

LEGO Architecture

Just one LEGO Architecture set has gone up in price as of August 1, but it’s one of the oldest still available at LEGO.com in 21042 Statue of Liberty. It’s not as dramatic an increase as we’ve seen across other themes, but 20% still stings.

Set nameOld RRPNew RRPPrice increasePercentage change
21042 Statue of Liberty$99.99$119.99$2020%

LEGO Batman / DC

Bruce Wayne might be able to weather any LEGO price increases, but the rest of us aren’t so fortunate. That makes the huge increase to last year’s 76240 Batmobile Tumbler even more difficult to bear, and could put it beyond the reach of at least a few Bat-fans.

Set nameOld RRPNew RRPPrice increasePercentage change
76240 Batmobile Tumbler$229.99$269.99$4017%

LEGO CITY

Just as train ticket prices rise all too regularly in real life, so too have the prices of the trains themselves risen in LEGO CITY. Both of this year’s brand new locomotives have experienced a $10 bump, along with a couple of space-themed sets and one already-quite-expensive Stuntz model.

60336 Freight Train$189.99$199.99$105%

LEGO Creator 3-in-1

Two sets inspired by retro themes – which have found a new home in Creator 3-in-1 – have fallen victim to price increases, including the seemingly everlasting 31109 Pirate Ship. (It isn’t due to retire until the end of 2024.)

Set nameOld RRPNew RRPPrice increasePercentage change
31109 Pirate Ship$99.99$119.99$2020%

LEGO Disney

A theme of predominantly smaller sets means a theme of predominantly smaller price increases, although 43197 The Ice Castle seems to have gotten off pretty lightly with only a $20 rise. No similar bump for 71040 The Disney Castle, but that’s probably because it’s due to retire this year.

76831 Zurg Battle$29.99$34.99$516%

LEGO DOTS

Few themes have escaped the sweeping hand of LEGO price increases in 2022, and DOTS is no different: just three sets have gone up, each by only $5 apiece, but it quickly adds up if you’re collecting them all.

LEGO DUPLO

There have been minimal price increases across DUPLO, which is good news for anyone in the market for gifts for younger family members. A 20% hike on 10963 Spider-Man & Friends Funfair Adventure is tough, though.

LEGO Friends

This year marks the 10th anniversary of LEGO Friends, and the LEGO Group is celebrating by… adding $10 each on to three of its brand-new-for-2022 sets. That includes 41704 Main Street Building, which is still the mini-doll theme’s biggest model to date at 1,682 pieces.

LEGO Harry Potter

You’re going to need more than a few extra Galleons to ride out the worst of the price increases in the Wizarding World theme, as every one of its three direct-to-consumer sets has had a considerable uplift. 71043 Hogwarts Castle is actually the worst offender in this entire list, if not by percentage, then by dollar total, with a $70 bump to its original price.

76399 Hogwarts Magical Trunk$59.99$64.99$58%

LEGO ICONS

A huge number of LEGO ICONS sets have gone up in price, presumably as the LEGO Group thinks the adult market is best positioned to bear the brunt of its increases. The most egregious rises are the 20% uplifts on 10270 Bookshop, 10273 Haunted House, 10274 Ghostbusters ECTO-1 and 10292 The Friends Apartments, but that $50 bump to 10294 Titanic is pretty severe too.

LEGO Ideas

It’s a difficult time to be a LEGO Ideas collector – or at least, a LEGO Ideas collector with a backlog of sets to buy, because a total of eight sets have just spiked in price at LEGO.com. 21318 Tree House and 21327 Typewriter are the most badly affected, with price rises of a blistering 25% each, while 21330 Home Alone and 21323 Grand Piano have both gone up by $50.

LEGO Jurassic World

Three of this summer’s LEGO Jurassic World sets have gone up in price as of August 1. Thankfully, that doesn’t include what’s probably the best of the bunch in 76956 T. rex Breakout – but if you want a moulded T. rex, prepare to pay 25% more for it…

76949 Giganotosaurus & Therizinosaurus Attack$129.99$139.99$107%

LEGO Marvel

A smattering of smaller increases to LEGO Marvel sets are dwarfed by a huge $50 uplift on last year’s 76178 Daily Bugle. Considering it’s been pretty hard to come by at LEGO.com, it’s no surprise the LEGO Group is taking advantage of what’s clearly a popular set.

Set nameOld RRPNew RRPPrice increasePercentage change
76178 Daily Bugle$299.99$349.99$5016%

LEGO Minecraft

The large 25% figure in the last column here belies what’s really a minor change for these three Minecraft sets, which have each gone up from $19.99 to $24.99. It’s a little easier to swallow than some of the increases on this list, for sure…

LEGO Monkie Kid

Monkie Kid is already among the LEGO Group’s most expensive themes to collect, marrying high price points with limited availability (and, therefore, limited discounts) – and four of its sets, including its two biggest, have just increased a little further in price.

Set nameOld RRPNew RRPPrice increasePercentage change

80039 The Heavenly Realms$179.99$189.99$106%

LEGO NINJAGO

As expected, 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens has rocketed in price by $50, representing a 16% increase on its original retail price. It’s the worst offender in a surprisingly long list of NINJAGO sets, which spans models from the winter 2021 wave right through to summer 2022.

LEGO Speed Champions

Just one LEGO Speed Champions set has increased in price for August, and it’s this year’s Aston Martin two-pack. The single car sets are safe and steady at $19.99 apiece, and it looks like they’re going to stay that way in the US – even while the two newest sets, 76911 007 Aston Martin DB5 and 76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, are already more expensive than their predecessors in the UK and Europe.

76910 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro and Aston Martin Vantage GT3$39.99$44.99$512%

LEGO Star Wars

Both of the most expensive LEGO Star Wars sets to date are now even more expensive in the US, with 75192 Millennium Falcon and 75313 AT-AT each receiving a $50 bump in price. Likewise 75309 Republic Gunship and 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina, both of which have shot up from $349.99 to $399.99 in the US.

LEGO Super Mario

It’s-a me, more-expensive Mario! While all of the interactive theme’s buildable course sets have deftly avoided price increases, its first two direct-to-consumer sets aren’t so lucky: both have jumped in price by 17%, with 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System experiencing the most severe dollar increase.

LEGO Technic

42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 only launched in June, but count yourself lucky if you got in the door early: it’s already become even more of a luxury item with a $50 price increase. 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 and 42131 App-Controlled Cat D11 Bulldozer are also among the most badly-affected Technic sets, while others have received smaller (but still painful) rises.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.

    You show 42115 Lamborghini Sián was $399.99 but I believe it was only $379.99 which means a $70 increase.

    Wow. It’s one thing to hear about them coming, and then see them posted. Some steep increases that will make me think longer before spending.

    Also, you have some pound signs mixed in with the dollar signs in the CITY section.

    Thank you for making this list for us, I was going to do it for myself, now I don’t have to.

    Small typo for The Globe, should say $30 instead of $40.
