Popular Post jaisonline Posted July 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, With the recent announcement of set "71040-1: The Disney Castle", the list of largest Lego sets has once again changed. In fact, this list changed 6 times so far in 2016. Here is the current Top 45 list sorted by largest. I also include the set # and year each debuted. I will continue to update this list and ultimately create a blog for it. note: Educational, Samsonite and bundle lots are excluded. Number Year Theme Name Pieces MSRP $ Price MSRP per Piece 10189 2008 Advanced Models Taj Mahal 5,922 299.99 $0.05 10179 2007 Star Wars Millennium Falcon 5,197 499.99 $0.10 75827 2016 Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters 4,634 349.99 $0.08 10214 2010 Advanced Models Tower Bridge 4,287 239.99 $0.06 10253 2016 Advanced Models Big Ben 4,163 249.99 $0.06 71040 2016 Advanced Models The Disney Castle 4,080 349.99 $0.09 42055 2016 Technic Bucket Wheel Excavator 3,927 279.99 $0.07 10188 2008 Star Wars Death Star 3,803 399.99 $0.11 10143 2005 Star Wars Death Star II 3,441 269.99 $0.08 10181 2007 Advanced Models Eiffel Tower 3,428 199.99 $0.06 75059 2014 Star Wars Sandcrawler 3,296 299.99 $0.09 10196 2009 Advanced Models Grand Carousel 3,263 249.99 $0.08 10221 2011 Star Wars Super Star Destroyer 3,152 399.99 $0.13 10030 2002 Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer 3,096 269.99 $0.09 76042 2015 Marvel Super Heroes The SHIELD Helicarrier 2,996 349.99 $0.12 10234 2013 Advanced Models Sydney Opera House 2,989 319.99 $0.11 3450 2000 Advanced Models Statue of Liberty 2,882 199.00 $0.07 42043 2015 Technic Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 2,793 229.99 $0.08 10224 2012 Advanced Models Town Hall 2,766 199.99 $0.07 5526 2005 Factory Skyline 2,747 130.00 $0.05 70810 2014 The LEGO Movie MetalBeard's Sea Cow 2,741 249.99 $0.09 42056 2016 Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2,704 299.99 $0.11 42009 2013 Technic Mobile Crane MK II 2,606 219.99 $0.08 76052 2016 DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave 2,526 269.99 $0.11 71006 2014 The Simpsons The Simpsons House 2,523 199.99 $0.08 10212 2010 Star Wars Imperial Shuttle 2,503 259.99 $0.10 10243 2014 Advanced Models Parisian Restaurant 2,469 159.99 $0.06 10247 2015 Advanced Models Ferris Wheel 2,464 199.99 $0.08 10251 2016 Advanced Models Brick Bank 2,380 169.99 $0.07 10237 2013 The Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc 2,359 199.99 $0.08 10185 2008 Advanced Models Green Grocer 2,352 149.99 $0.06 21010 2011 Architecture Robie House 2,276 199.99 $0.09 10246 2015 Advanced Models Detective's Office 2,262 159.99 $0.07 10197 2009 Advanced Models Fire Brigade 2,231 149.99 $0.07 10232 2013 Advanced Models Palace Cinema 2,196 149.99 $0.07 10211 2010 Advanced Models Grand Emporium 2,182 149.99 $0.07 71016 2015 The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart 2,179 199.99 $0.09 75098 2016 Star Wars Assault on Hoth 2,144 249.99 $0.12 10225 2012 Star Wars R2-D2 2,127 179.99 $0.08 10228 2012 Monster Fighters Haunted House 2,064 179.99 $0.09 10182 2007 Advanced Models Cafe Corner 2,056 139.99 $0.07 8110 2011 Technic Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 2,048 199.99 $0.10 10218 2011 Advanced Models Pet Shop 2,032 149.99 $0.07 70751 2015 Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu 2,028 199.99 $0.10 10217 2011 Harry Potter Diagon Alley 2,025 149.99 $0.07 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) 2007-09 and 2014-16 seem to have been golden periods for people that like their large exclusives. Does that mean there will be a 5-year period of smaller sets till the next cycle? It might also be a neat idea to add the weight of each set in too so as we can see if the sets are actually getting bigger or not.

dmind Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Would be nice to have a same list with heaviest boxes, as e.g. Tower Bridge and Big Ben are quite equal in pieces, but differ 20% in weight I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at doing this yesterday to figure the PPG of some sets and you can get various results. Look at sets like the T1 or PC that have two different boxes. There is a table of all the modulars on here with the PPG but it uses boxed set weight which I don't think is a good comparison to use on these bigger sets. On BL you can get the boxed set weight and then the box and instruction weights to subtract out but some sets like GBHQ, SSD and Sandcrawler have inner boxes as well. Then you have the bags, extra pieces, cardboard backings and more. For GBHQ the weight of the plastic is actualy 2/3 of the reported set weight so not just a negligible amount. So probably best to weigh the built set with minifigures and stickers if applicable to get a true comparison. For GBHQ I got 0.93 PPG. I could have just weighed the set but I sold the figs and made some mods For Big Ben I got 0.65 PPG I am going to start building this one next but if someone has one done would be nice to get a weight. ETA and then there is this PPP but for current sets only: http://brickset.com/sets/query-47 Edited July 11, 2016 by Pseudoty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'll add the weight in grams, grams - cost ratio, etc... To get a true grams per cost ratio, inflation needs to be included but i'll include this. All of the latter is why I'll prob end up writing this as a blog. 4 hours ago, Val-E said: 2007-09 and 2014-16 seem to have been golden periods for people that like their large exclusives.

Val-E Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Half the top ten are 2016 releases. 2015 accounts for quite a few just a bit lower in the list. That would tend to suggest a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
