    Great looking set, but that price point….oof….

  2. aliaswyvernspur

    I love how it has both the OoT and BotW Deku Tree. That’s pretty awesome.

    Edit: I see people are going on about price, saying it’s too high. But is it? Let’s compare to other sets:

    [Traditional Chess Set](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/traditional-chess-set-40719) is $75 with 743 pieces. If we price it per piece, it’s $0.10/piece.

    [Lion Knights Castle](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lion-knights-castle-10305) is $400 with 4514 pieces, price per piece is $0.09.

    [Red London Telephone Box](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/red-london-telephone-box-21347) is $115 with 1460 pieces, price per piece is $0.08.

    [Great Deku Tree](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/great-deku-tree-2-in-1-77092) is $300 with 2500 pieces, price per piece is $0.12.

    Price per piece is a bit higher, but given that the other sets are non-licensed sets, I can see why. Compared to licensed sets:

    [Tie Intercepter](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/tie-interceptor-75382) is $230 with 1931 pieces, price per piece is $0.12.

    [Gringotts Wizarding Bank](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/gringotts-wizarding-bank-collectors-edition-76417) is $430 with 4801 pieces, price per piece is $0.09.

    [Batman Animated Series](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/batman-the-animated-series-gotham-city-76271) is $300 with 4210 pieces, price per piece is $0.08.

    ~~So, compared to licensed LEGO sets, this isn’t too bad.~~ Fixed prices, so it appears it’s on par or worse. Of course, keep in mind that whatever version you build will more than likely not use every piece, so until we know how many pieces are used in each set, this is just a guesstimate.

    How the hell is this $300 haha. Holy shit…

    Man the price point on this is wild.

    Not unsurprising, but wild.

    And yet … I want it bad.

    Just for reference

    Lego NES System (2020) is 270 dollars and came with 2646 pieces.

    Lego Question Mark Block (2021) is 200 dollars and came with 2064 pieces

    Lego Bowser (2022) is 270 dollars and came with 2800 pieces.

    Lego Deku Tree being 300 dollars and 2500 pieces is a premium but not horrible completely horrible Lego pricing (~~8.3~~ 12 cents a piece) nor that off some of there other premium products when you count inflation (270 dollars in 2020 is about 327 today).

  6. The-Peoples-Eyebrow

    $300 is a lot but it’s clocking in at 2500 pieces. Add a little for the licensing premium and it feels about right. Absolutely brutal for anyone who wants both versions.

  7. dabsalot69

    Yes it’s normal Lego and not the weird Mario bulky weird ones!!!!

  8. glorytozoidberg

    When you preorder Lego, does it charge now or when it ships? Because I have a cart I want to checkout!

  9. MurkyChildhood2571

    Holy shit

    I thought they said they couldn’t do this

  10. TheLimeyLemmon

    It’s a wonderful looking set, and I think it’s a good starting point for LoZ Lego to incorporate elements from two of the series biggest games into one set.

    But that price is hefty. Like with the Mario sets before it, I simply can’t justify it to myself.

  11. FinalxxFlash

    Seems like an odd choice for a first Zelda Lego set. Would have preferred a Hyrule Castle or Master Sword Replica first. Unfortunately skipping this one

  12. Boomshockalocka007

    The OoT minifigures are amazing. I want it just for them alone. Fantastic job Lego!

  13. metalflygon08

    I need those Link and Zelda Minifigs!

  14. Bwoody1994

    I’m gonna have to start selling feet pics to be able to afford this

  15. Tolwenye

    I’ll just wait for the folks at /r/lepin to tell me when a knockoff is available. Prolly run like $80 at that point

  16. For $300? No thanks. I can get much larger and more detailed sets for half that.

  17. thedrizzle126

    Legos were way cooler when other people bought them for me as a kid lol

  18. TheDaveWSC

    Was really excited for this, but it looks awful and is wildly expensive. I do want that Link minifig with the master sword though…

  19. MidnightOnTheWater

    Wake me up when they release a bootleg

  20. God damn lego might be one of the biggest rip offs out of every major company. What a joke

  21. Hopefully this means other LoZ sets can come at at a lower peice count. Starting off with a $300 set is heartbreaking. I can’t justify that purchase.

  22. FrozenMorningstar

    I love Zelda, but I won’t pay that much for this set. Wish they’d have done what Animal Crossing is doing and make smaller, but more affordable sets. I don’t need the Deku Tree to be this detailed. I’d pay $100 or so for a smaller, less detailed set, but this is way out of my price range.

  23. Catspirit123

    I never would have dreamed we’d ever get an ocarina style zelda lego set. I absolutely must have this

  24. Yippiekayo_Rom3o

    sooooooo should we start a shit storm because of this price?

  25. Horvat53

    This is real cool, but that price is a bit too high.

  26. I will only get the minifigs if they are sold individually. That price is insane.

  27. Boneless_Cupcake

    At this point. Every Lego set should just come equipped with health insurance.
