That’s an insane price. How much do LEGO kits of that size typically cost?
May or may not be a good reference point, but I looked up an assortment of 3,000+ piece sets. The (original?) Death Star kit cost $500 for ~1,100 more pieces. The Super Star Destroyer was $400 for ~500 more pieces. For a non-Star Wars thing, something from Harry Potter just released - Gringotts Wizarding Bank, whatever the fuck that is - and that's $430 for ~2,200 (nearly 2x) more pieces.

...So, apparently, the takeaway is just that licensed LEGO sets are expensive as fuck. :chuckle

The NES one seems to be a decent size. Honestly kind of too big to just have sitting around though, I feel. Would need like a dedicated shelf in a very particular display to really be worth it, even ignoring price.

I have the NES one sitting in a box at my parents' home in Canada, just waiting for the day I leave Saudi Arabia and have my own home. I thought about getting the SM64 question mark block but it's so bulky and I already have so much unused stuff in storage.

These are much smaller, but they're cool as hell:

I picked up the full set when I travelled to Japan.

I got some of these for Christmas but haven't built them yet

From what I've seen, all the Nintendo x Lego stuff has been great. One of these days I'll grab one of them and put it in top of my desk. The ? Block is great, but you can't really enjoy all that it offers without opening it. Kind of the same with Bowser.

Idk. Maybe I'm destined to get the NES one unless they come up with a cooler SNES one or something else.

I want both of those but you could try the Pirahna plant. I'm curious how that goes anyway.

Oh yeah! I forgot that existed too. That would definitely work better as it's own stand-alone without needing the neat secret things.

And it's basically a house plant.
