Richard Siegel and Blanca Gudino, 39, were arrested on Wednesday after detectives found more than 2,800 LEGO boxes at Siegel's Long Beach, California, home.
Maybe I’m not the best person to ask because I don’t buy the big sets, I settled for a millennium falcon 75257 ($170). The $1000 kits aren’t worth it to me personally, I’d rather piece together MOC but I guess for someone that wants to flex or is a huge fan of a specific property, it’s available 🤷
By one off I mean they introduce specific pieces for that set, which introduces more cost with a custom mold and run to create the brick. Parts you won’t find in any other set.
It doesn’t have to be justified to you, but it’s clearly worth it to some people. My most expensive sets are <$300, but having built a fan design, I can tell you the official ones are so much better that there’s not even a comparison. The construction is miles better and I’ve never had a missing brick in the dozens I’ve built. People are allowed to spend their money the way they want.
They’re not all that one-off if they’re making thousands of them. And does that really justify an $850 price tag? We’re not talking bespoke here.

Sure. All kinds of expensive things that don’t have to be expensive are worth it to some people. That doesn’t really justify it.
