August price increases – All the sets that will cost you more

Today is the first of August, which means that LEGO has raised their cost price and RRP on a number of items. It was a closely guarded secret as to which sets would be increased. Now, I am here with the data. I recorded the price of every set listed on the LEGO website on July 20 and then did the same thing today (August 1st). Below you will find all the price differences.

  1. Chris Grigsby

    Not great news, but great work to pull this together. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

  2. Becca

    Will stores like Kmart and Target be increasing their prices as well to adjust or will they keep their discounted price?

    • Michael Post author

      LEGO will be increasing their cost prices, so increases will potentially happen at other retailers too.

      • Becca

        Yeah places like Myer that sell for retail have already adjusted their prices. I was just wondering because Kmart for example sells them cheaper, would they be adjusting their discounted price.

  3. Brick Chap

    Thankfully most of these sets either don’t interest me or I already have. Still, right now I’m doing the NEIN NEIN NEIN Hitler meme. I was hoping to get Boutique Hotel for under $319 (in order to get the second floor). Now it’s $350 which is wrong. There’s no way Boutique Hotel is worth $350, that’s just $50 less than Assembly Square (well at AS’ original price of $400), yet BH barely competes in height with the Bookstore.
    I do wish people had protested more against this. Lego increasing it’s prices is nonsense. There’s a global recession happening, the last thing people need is Lego to be even more expensive. Lego will lose heaps of potential customers because of this, all because somebody couldn’t get their third superyacht. Ole Kirk Christansen would have never done this. So much for “Only the Best is Good Enough”, Lego gets more and more expensive each year for less and less quality both in parts themselves (eg dark red colour consistency, transparent parts scratching easily), and the ‘amount of stuff you get’ in each set.

  4. Aidsta

    Why has not some of the bigger sets gone up, such as AT-AT, MF and Titanic etc? Is it because they are retiring soon?

  5. Monty

    The increases seem quite inconsistent. The Haunted House increasing by $100, the tree house, Darth Vader’s Helmet and the Lamborghini just seem insane.

    How on earth are they pricing these? Also bit of a cheek increasing 75342 Republic Fighter Tank™ when it was only available for a couple of hours never to be seen again.

    I did expect adult sets (or sets appealing to adults) to increase, so am shocked to see sets like 43196 Belle and the Beast’s Castle increase so dramatically.

  6. Travis Gillies

    Long time follower, first time poster.

    I am glad I had already purchased most of the sets I want that have gone put. (Colosseum, Assembly Square, Bookshop, Haunted House, Medieval Blacksmith)

    I haven’t got the Boutique Hotel yet, but least only went up 9% …

    I can’t beleive the price increase on the Haunted House though … $350 to now $450 … at $450 I would give it a pass personally if I had to buy now …

    I haven’t got the Titanic yet … seems I might have to get sooner rather than later …

    Happy Building All ! 🙂

  7. Jonathan Wilson

    Thankfully the price rise wont affect me (all the stuff on the list I actually like is either stuff I already bought or like the Technic Lambo, Daily Bugle and Optimus Prime are sets I could never justify anyway)

    The train station hasn’t gone up which is good.

  8. Mark

    End result is they will sell less as discretionary purchases are more and more under pressure. New sets will baseline around these prices.

    Predicting a reduction in themes & releases from next year as as global factors really kick in.

  9. MattL

    Helmets up $10 except Vader at $30? Please explain? Maybe the Lego Memories competition should include “the day I stopped buying Lego” category.

  10. Bryce

    Thanks for your work to sift through all this.

    Some of these are decent % increases. The ones that surprised me were sets that had already been round for a while (Sian, 911 RSR, Panigale, Mustang and probably others that I haven’t really been paying attention to). I would have guessed that most people who wanted one would have bought one already. Is it a thing where if they increase the retail price of the sets, when they write them off, they get a ‘bigger’ loss? That’s a wildly paranoid stab in the dark, I know nothing about tax or retail.

  11. Andrew

    Thanks for all the work on this, much appreciated. Price rises are never good news, but it’s nice to be prepared.

  12. Robert

    Just another thing that is getting dearer along with almost everything else. 🙁
