Time and again, people say: LEGO used to be much cheaper\u2014you got more for your money\u2014and these days, the sets are getting more and more expensive. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But is that really true?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;re going to take a closer look at today. I&#8217;ve picked out two comparisons that I think are pretty good: a police station from the &#8217;90s versus one from today, and a classic knight&#8217;s castle versus a modern Creator 3-in-1 castle. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And especially when you factor in inflation, the number of parts, and today&#8217;s discounts, the whole thing gets pretty interesting.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Let&#8217;s get started!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Police Station in 1998 vs. Police Station in 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with the police. <br\/>In 1998, &#8221; <strong>6332 Command Post Central<\/strong>&#8221; was released.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5382.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5382.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5382.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5382-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5382-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The police headquarters set from back then consisted of <strong>270 pieces<\/strong>, included <strong>seven Minifigures<\/strong>, and had a U. <strong>S<\/strong>. MSRP of <strong>$60<\/strong>. Adjusted for inflation, that\u2019s roughly <strong>$111<\/strong> today. <br\/>And for many, this set is the very essence of childhood. <br\/>It features the iconic green windows, a small jail cell, a helicopter, several police vehicles, and, of course, plenty of police officers. Basically, exactly what you\u2019d expect from a large police station.    <br\/>Let&#8217;s fast-forward 22 years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, the <strong>60246 Police Station<\/strong> set was released, featuring <strong>743 pieces<\/strong>, <strong>seven Minifigures<\/strong>, and a MSRP of <strong>99.99 euros or 99.99 dollars<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click here for a Price Comparison: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/preisvergleich.php?set=60246\">https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/preisvergleich.php?set=60246<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5381.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5381.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5381.webp 720w, https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5381-300x239.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, too, we find the main building with prison cells, police vehicles, robbers along with their vehicle, a drone, and various smaller play options.  <br\/>And when we put the two sets side by side, the difference is actually pretty interesting.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of minifigures is exactly the same. <br\/>However, the old police station has only about <strong>36 percent of the number of pieces<\/strong> found in the newer model. And even if we adjust the price from back then for inflation, the old set\u2014at around $111\u2014would actually be slightly more expensive than the $99.99 that LEGO charged for the new police station in 2020.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just for fun, I&#8217;d even say that the newer police station offers at least as much. <br\/>Sure, the helicopter is missing, but in exchange you get the robbers right away and various ways to reenact a prison break. <br\/>So even with our first example, the statement <strong>\u201cYou used to get a lot more for less money\u201d<\/strong> isn\u2019t quite so clear-cut.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ritterburg in 1995 vs. Ritterburg in 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things get even more interesting with a classic LEGO knight\u2019s castle. <br\/>The legendary <strong>6090 Royal Knight\u2019s Castle<\/strong> was released in 1995.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5383.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5383.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5383.jpeg 690w, https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5383-300x213.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this set is, of course, an absolute classic. <br\/>764 pieces, <strong>eleven Minifigures<\/strong>, horses, the 3D baseplate, the beautiful blue roofs, the chrome crown, and, of course, the ghost that glows in the dark. <br\/>The US MSRP at the time was <strong>$95<\/strong>. Adjusted for inflation, that would be about <strong>$204<\/strong> today.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thirty years later, in 2025, the <strong>31168 Medieval Horse Knight Castle<\/strong> was released. <br\/>The Creator 3-in-1 set costs <strong>119.99 euros<\/strong> in Germany and $129.99 in the U.S., and consists of a whopping <strong>1,371 pieces<\/strong>. It also includes six Minifigures and two buildable horses.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Price Comparison: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/preisvergleich.php?set=31168\">https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/preisvergleich.php?set=31168<\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5380.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5380.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5380.webp 720w, https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_5380-300x278.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this really highlights how differently LEGO designed its sets back then compared to today.  <br\/>The old castle is a true, cohesive, all-in-one package.  <br\/>Large building pieces and the 3D baseplate ensure that you can build a pretty massive castle using relatively few bricks.  <br\/>Today&#8217;s model, on the other hand, consists of significantly more parts and features a more detailed front end, but it is completely open at the back.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s exactly where I can certainly understand the criticism from many fans.  <br\/>This modern set has almost twice as many pieces, but it still feels incomplete.  <br\/>This is because LEGO, especially in the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s, used a lot of very large pieces. A complete wall was sometimes made up of just a few elements. Added to that were the 3D plates, which provided a perfect base.    <br\/>These days, many things are made up of numerous small pieces.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This results in significantly more detail and more complex construction techniques\u2014but, of course, it also causes the number of parts to skyrocket.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now here&#8217;s the point that many people overlook: discounts<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that brings us, in my view, to <strong>the most important point<\/strong> in this whole discussion. <br\/>The MSRP is much less of a deciding factor today than it used to be. <br\/>Of course, there were deals back in the \u201990s and 2000s as well. <br\/>And even during the\u2014for many\u2014legendary LEGO Star Wars era around 2014, you could regularly find sets on sale. <br\/>But the kind of permanent discounts we see today were much less common back then.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days, it\u2019s completely common for almost any LEGO set released on the open market to eventually go on sale at <strong>a 30 percent\u2014or in some cases even 40 percent\u2014discount<\/strong>. <br\/>Let\u2019s take our police station as an example again. <br\/>The 60246 had a MSRP of 99.99 euros. <br\/>According to our price data, the best price at the time was around <strong>66.99 euros<\/strong> at times. <br\/>Suddenly, we\u2019re no longer talking about a 100-euro set. <br\/>We\u2019re talking about a large police station with 743 pieces and seven Minifigures for just under 67 euros.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is even more evident with the current <strong>31168 Medieval Horse Knight Castle<\/strong> set. <br\/>The official MSRP is <strong>119.99 euros<\/strong>. <br\/>At the time of this article, you can already get it for about <strong>82.99 euros,<\/strong> and its best price so far has even been around <strong>75 euros<\/strong>. <br\/>And that\u2019s exactly why, personally, I no longer just look at the MSRP when it comes to many new sets.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example<strong>, <\/strong> when LEGO announces a set that\u2019s available to the general public for 120 euros<strong>, <\/strong> I think to myself<strong>, <\/strong> <strong>\u201cFor<\/strong>80 euros, that would actually be pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It gets more complicated with LEGO-exclusive models.  <br\/>After all, these items aren&#8217;t usually available with a 30% discount. You&#8217;ll have to wait for the clearance sale or for double Insider Points plus a free gift. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things look a little better with sets that are exclusive to certain retailers. Even there, with a little patience, you can often get <strong>a 20 or 30 percent discount<\/strong>. <br\/>And that\u2019s exactly why the Brick-Tracker exists\u2014here you can compare LEGO prices around the clock and find the best deals. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let&#8217;s go back to the question. Was LEGO really cheaper back then? <br\/>My answer would be: <strong>Yes\u2014but at the same time, no.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the numbers on the price tags are higher today.  <br\/>A LEGO set priced at 120, 150, or 200 euros stands out much more at first glance than a set that might have cost 60 or 100 dollars in the past.  <br\/>But money does lose its value over the course of decades.  <br\/>If we factor in inflation, the situation suddenly looks quite different.  <br\/>Adjusted for inflation, our 1998 police station would have cost about $111. The 2020 police station cost $99.99.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference is even greater when it comes to the Knight&#8217;s Castle: The $95 from 1995 is equivalent to about $204 today. The modern Creator Castle costs $129.99 in the U.S.   <br\/>Of course, these are just two examples, and you can&#8217;t use them to generalize about the entire LEGO product line.  <br\/>And yet still gain a good understanding.  <br\/>These days, you just have to factor in things like discounts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LEGO is getting more expensive. <br\/>But LEGO <strong>was expensive even back then<\/strong>. <br\/>And I think that\u2019s exactly what we sometimes forget pretty quickly when we get caught up in nostalgia. <br\/>On top of that, today\u2019s models are more detailed, have significantly more small pieces, and in some cases, we have very different expectations for the sets. <br\/>Whether you like this trend is another question entirely.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I can completely understand when someone says, <strong>\u201cI\u2019d rather have a large, complete castle with 700 pieces than a detailed open-concept set with 1,300 pieces.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a completely legitimate criticism.  <br\/>In terms of price, however, the situation looks much less dramatic once you factor in inflation and, above all, today&#8217;s discounts. It almost seems as if it&#8217;s actually getting cheaper.   <br\/>And in my opinion, it is precisely these discounts that are all too often completely overlooked in this discussion.  <br\/>If a set costs 120 euros but is repeatedly available for 80 euros throughout its entire lifespan, then for many buyers, that 120 euros is simply not the actual price.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why I wouldn&#8217;t say, <strong>&#8220;LEGO used to be cheap and is expensive now.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d say <strong>LEGO has always been a pretty expensive hobby\u2014it&#8217;s just that the types of sets, our budget, and, above all, the ways to buy them more affordably have changed dramatically.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I&#8217;m curious: <strong>What do you all think about this? <\/strong><br\/><strong>Do you think LEGO is really way too expensive these days? <\/strong><br\/><strong>Or are inflation and discounts often overlooked in this discussion?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And do you think our two comparisons\u2014the police station and the knight&#8217;s castle\u2014are appropriate?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the best LEGO Price Comparison, check out <strong>Brick-Tracker<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brick-tracker.de\/index.php\">LEGO\u00ae Price Comparison, Top Deals &amp; Marketplace | Brick-Tracker<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author: Dante<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there!
