People often compare value with how many pieces are included in a set, but we all know LEGO pieces can be radically different in size. But what about comparing their weight? in this video we compare the price per pound of the two largest LEGO sets to see how much plastic our dollar buys when choosing between these sets.

    As someone who loves statistics this really helped selling the Titanic I been holding on to buy. Also a big shoutout for including the kg in the comparison.

    Very interesting stuff. Would be intriguing to see what the other sets come out to.
  • if you do this for every set. You got a lifetime subscriber. This is so interesting. Thank you.

    The Falcon would be interesting. Fun information. Thanks for making an interesting video. I see myself doing the same thing.
  • Interesting findings 🙂 Do you also have the Colloseum?

    Nice video! I’m highly interested in this and work with a spreadsheet for this as well. But I use both the RRP values of the sets as well as the price I bought them for. Now I fully agree that a 1x1 brick counts the same as a 16x16 plate in regards to piece count (which is indeed unfair) so we divert to weight. But only looking at weight isn’t fair either! For example a 1x8 brick weighs the same as 8 1x1 bricks, but I see more value in 8 1x1 bricks than a single 1x8 brick. So for a similar weight, a set with more pieces does have a bit more value IMO. So the total “plastic value” of a set should be a formula that takes both piece count and weight into account IMO. You could even go further to add in factors of rare colours, like a gold or silver piece is worth more than the same piece in white. Or add in a value for mini figure parts, printed pieces, etc. But that would all be more complicated to take into account. Maybe the “plastic value” could be something like: Weight x Piece count = Plastic value. If a set has a lot of pieces but doesn’t weigh much (like DOTS sets) then this set doesn’t have such a high ranking as when you just look at piece count. On the other side of the spectrum you have sets with fewer pieces but more weight (like Duplo) which shouldn’t score too high either. To my gut feeling the sets that would score the best when you add up both weight and piece count are the 3-in-1 sets, they usually have a good healthy mix of many pieces and a decent weight value. But indeed some of the bigger Creator Expert / Icons sets can have surprising results as well (like the Titanic as you mentioned)

    I'd love to see the numbers for the World Map, or any of the Art sets!
  • @splinter8930
    Thank you for showing the numbers in pounds as well as in kilograms, saved me a lot of converting haha.
  • I figured out why I dont like the Eiffel Tower it's the color they used by lego. However I still love the Titanic much more then the Tower. Alex you are spot on once again. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to you & your excellent family.. 👍👍👏👏🦃🦃👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

    Titanic really sunk the competition, one could say.
  • Really nice one .. But you missed out UCS MILLENIUM FALCON AND IMPERIAL SHUTTLE
  • @jakersrule7267
    As someone who has built and still has the Titanic set. I love it. I would love to get the Eiffel Tower to put beside it.
  • @TinkeringJohn
    I always thought weight, not piece count, should be used in comparing the price value of Lego sets. The only thing that I would change would be if the set has motors and other electrics in it.

    cool to watch.. especially if you have a big showroom like your place.. but a lot of people won't have that size of the Lego Room. At the end, I am not sure Lego is running in the right direction or not (especially adding 20% few months ago)...
