Full list of UK price increases

Zad!

Thanks for putting this together. very helpful. A couple of things I just noticed: 10265 Ford Mustang has also gone up (now £150), and BTTF set number has minor typo - should be 10300. thanks!

Thanks for compiling this. Just to let you know, 42139 All-Terrain Vehicle is listed twice, and Back to the Future Time Machine has 10230 listed as the set number, which isn't right.

I'm disappointed to see John Lewis have increased all of their prices on day one, with no discounts at the moment. The reward of £30 off if you spend £120 doesn't even cover the increase on the larger sets. It's clear why they created that reward for this month but now not worth using.

Cheers Cap!

It sucks to see so many increases, and even some for Ninjago; the traditionally good value theme... sad times.

Heads up that Hogwarts Icons - Collector's Edition is noted as a £5 increase, but this should be a £40 increase (the % increase is correct).

40478 mini Disney castle figures aren’t correct. It went down in price but says it was an increase of 40 quid

An article similar to the one posted for the US ( https://brickset.com/article/79870/ [na]-last-chance-to-buy-from-lego-com-before-prices-rise) reminding them of price increases might have been beneficial for the UK too. It slipped my mind due to work otherwise I would have bought Home Alone set. Think I'll wait to see if it drops now, refuse to purchase it at the new price

71775 Nya's Samurai X MECH went up £5 to £104.99.

Great for info.... BUT not all is correct please double check...

e.g.

76391 Hogwarts Icons - Collectors' Edition £259.99 £219.99 £5 18%

Should read £40 increase.. For use of filters.. Thanks @CapnNrex101

@CapnRex101 I think the Globe 21332 price needs fixing in the table. It's showing as £69.99 but it's actually £199.99

Jeeze, some of those hikes are a joke. But will Lego inc. see a drop in sales... will be very interesting to monitor. Thankfully I bought what I wanted before this day came, only the 90th Anniversary sets are still on my radar and their price hasn't changed externally.
P.s.
Thanks for the post, its a real eye opener

Oddly the lighthouse came down in price my £5.

More importantly, will LEGO see a real terms fall in its bottom line? Conceivably, unit or $ sales could drop and profits still rise. It depends in part on how well LEGO has forecast inflation and in part on real terms changes in costs, e.g. increases due to reduced economies of scale.

I think you had the original RRP for 76948 wrong, it was £79.99 previously.

well some of these weren't as bad as feared, or as much as the increase in America, though that may be due to conversion. Most of the expensive ones I have already, there is one still on my list and that hasn't increased as much as I expected, though its still a hefty amount. I think I shall be waiting for Zavvi to restock and have their sales again. The John Lewis discount is still a good thing, it just depends on which set you use it on. I also have a fair amount in VIP points, so that might come in handy now.

The US had their price increases last month.

The average appears to be a 15% increase. Very hard to swallow for the already more expensive sets (for instance, the Porsche 911 is now £150!), but TLG must know what it’s doing if people keep paying them.

"While I’m sure the price increases will boost profits, I have a suspicion the increases are also planned to allow deeper discounts. This may explain the seemingly random percentage pricing bumps.

Here in the US, Costco is carrying more LEGO than ever at very decent discounts. I’ve read retailers are moving even more toward promotional pricing models to attract shoppers with what seem like great deals, even though prices overall are much higher.
"
Overseas, LEGO Exclusives still regularly get discounted from different outlets. Additionally, I believe AFOL Day discounts aren't as limited as the U.S. If the increases on exclusives allowed the U.S. to see discounts again, I would be less frustrated. The only discounts we currently see in the U.S. are "phantoms" as suppliers are simply holding previous RRP, likely based on their inventory position.

Costco is indeed killing it with LEGO right now. They have a couple of interesting bundles as well as quite a number of sets at around 20% off like the Grocery Truck and BD-1. I've already grabbed the truck and will likely grab BD-1 too if he hasn't already sold out.

Hey, at least 21058 The Great Pyramid of Giza went down 4%! /s

Good luck from across the pond!

£640 saved on purchases previously made based on that list alone.
Blimey

I wonder what the first set will be that goes the other side of £1,000. Based on increase in set sizes recently, it might no be long...

42139 is £56.99 at Argos, so it's just a case of knowing where to look.

Dear sjr60,

Please note that your wish list total has decreased by £5. Sincerely,

Santa's Sleigh 40499 has also gone up, now £39.99

To be fair, it's only £99.99 on Amazon, so a reduction on a D2C set would have been preferable!

Bought the UCS AT-AT a few weeks ago in anticipation of the price increase. Will keep it until Christmas.

i think this will help the second hand market no end . some of those increases make used sets look very appealing.

The prices suck.

@abri123 said:
"Putting up the prices on the 2 Stuntz sets is also shocking as their RRP/price per piece was already 'very' high."
They'll be half price within a couple of months, as per the 1st wave!

I wasn't lucky enough to get the few sets I would of liked to have before these price rises due to being self employed and waiting for people to pay my invoices. so now seeing some of the prices I have already knocked of around 50% of the sets i was saving up for. more may have to follow. I have already stopped collecting two themes may reduce it down to a couple. but hay ho.

It said you were in the UK at first. :o)

You think UK has it bad? Take a look at a specialized Lego store in Serbia prices increase:

https://www.kockarium.rs/vesti/poskupljenje-cena-lego-setova-od-1-septembra-2022/

Here's the same table as a spreadsheet with EUR and percent columns, for easier understanding:

https://sheet.zohopublic.eu/sheet/published/9j5vv8cc585ec7118418495d6c8f97306f12f

To complete the info, median pay here is ~500 €. You can see how much money can be spent on lego sets.

It is as simple as stop buying. If we do, they will push it even furthere.

@SolidState said:
In the US retailers have slowly but surely increased the prices as part of a month long transition period. Don't assume they'll keep the prices as-is for very long.]]

I now stand corrected, all local shops here have upped their prices. I'm half-expecting them to 'discount' to the original price after a few weeks when they see their sales drop.

Maybe a few years without monumental profits will steer Lego back to sense. Maybe not.

No problem, my budget for this and next years stays the same, in the end I will add one box less per year to my collection and consume my remaining Lego space slower.

Thanks to brickset´ s list of US price increases I was warned and able to buy some affected sets, that I wanted, before this was happening in Europe. Will wait and see, what happens with the other sets, I considered to buy - maybe refuse to, maybe later on discount or maybe used...

Thanks for the warning, guys!

"God some of these are down right disgusting, I cannot believe that TLG will get away with this. Many people won’t just up and leave their hobby, so i expect a gradual decline in sales. Hopefully we see some decent discounts. As for sets missed, @capnrex101, the ninja ultra combo mech has gone up by £15, now £90. That is damn unbelievable."

I got this for £40 on Amazon a few weeks ago. No one can tell me Lego are not making enough money if this set can be sold by a third party retailer at less than half the current price, it is not even end of life!

cool set by the way!

Some things are definitely off my wish list now. Anyway, I have such a large backlog that I really shouldn't be buying too much anymore.

Possibly the higher prices, lower sales, will make TLG reflect more on what is worthwhile making into a set rather than flooding the market with too much choice, possibly improving the originality (rather than reruns) and dropping the obscure niche sets.

I got 10255 Assembly Square for a bargain £150 back in around 2019. It now costs £260 from Lego!

I went on the discounts in the UK page today and was like "cool, look at all these sets that have been discounted even further", but then I realised the discount prices hadn't gone down; the full prices had just gone up.

@Huw, 71766 doesn't go up £35 in value though. ;)

Hey kids, I heard Santa’s carrying a ton of Vidiyo sets this year…. Uh come on! What’s not to like?

They can stick their bricks! The back to the future set was never in stock for me to buy it in the first place, so I certainly won’t be bothering now.

"thats a bloody long list - the lego mansion needs a new roof?"

LEGOLAND Belgium and the US and Vietnam LEGO factories probably still need Roofs as they are planned or being constructed right now.

God, I picked that bnib off eBay for £35 recently ??

So, slightly confused, as bad as things are, inflation isn't 20% yet, so why are some sets increasing 20% or more?

To allow other sets to be increased by a lot less, or nothing at all. Biggest increases aimed at those most likely to be able to afford them. Sales figures will show if they've picked the right sets!

Just revisiting the costs this morning and thanks Huw for enabling us to re-sort the columns to see the biggest percentage and biggest pound rises. Been revisiting it this morning and hardn't clocked the City Gardens change. I had been on the fence around Ninjago City Gardens, I have City and the Docks but I see it's now £299 and I don't think I have £300 of love (or indeed money) for it, prices that already felt quite high have now, ironically, helped making choices of sets clearer.

@LegoBoi69 said:
"On the plus side I'm putting up prices on my vintage and newish MISB sets have I for sale by 30-35% to account for Lego's own inflation rubbish. "

Good luck with that. If more AFOLs end up leaving the hobby in response to falls in disposable income, and rises in Lego prices, then it will eventually hit demand on the secondary market. I know I’ve considered selling off some of the sets I’ve got in the attic, but I don’t know if it’s already getting a bit too late!

"The list really highlights how many large sets they are making now. Looking on the LEGO website for UK, they currently have 54 products at £200+ and another 97 at £100-£200. Plus a few more at pennies below £100. That's over 150 sets at £100+.

Go back ten years and I remember picking up Helm's Deep for £65 (but RRP £100) thinking £100 is is a lot to pay for a LEGO set, but it was a must have as the flagship LOTR set. Then in 2015 getting Lonely Mountain for £50 (also RRP £100) again thinking that £100 was still a high price for a LEGO set and that such big sets were really only a couple of times a year purchase, especially if you were also into Modulars.

Modulars were typically about £100/£120 then Town Hall hit £150, but they went down below £150 again for the next four. I really thought that LEGO had decided that the Modulars had peaked at £150 and higher prices were not going to be sustainable. Then Assembly Square came along at £180 and aside from the Diner, all the following ones came in at £150-£200. And Assembly Square is still on shelves almost 6 years later but now at £260! Should we be expecting that the next batch of Modulars are going to be in the £225-275 bracket? If so, that is £1K for the next four. A huge change from the £400-£500 you'd pay for four a decade ago.

How times change. Who saw it coming that there would be more than 150 sets on the shelves at over £100? The £100 tag used to be sign of a flagship set now it is nothing special. "

LEGO sets are definitely getting much more expensive today. And the pounds were going much cheaper since ten years ago as well.

No price increase for 71040 Disney Castle?...... interesting.....?

I may be wrong, but it seems all the sets that are earmarked for retirement this year has not changed in price.

21332 The Globe £69.99 £59.99 £10

Since when was The Globe £59.99 !??

i dont think we are too far off a lego set costing over 1000

Went to local IKEA a few days ago to find the 40357 (BYGGLEK) priced at 19.99 EUR. Pretty sure it used to be 14.99 EUR, so that price increase could probably be happening elsewhere as well. Still 17.99 EUR in Finland and Germany though.
