World’s Most Expensive Lego Set

When Lego began producing their plastic bricks in 1949, they could scarcely have imagined the phenomenon the toy would become. With different lines of Lego parts, a video game franchise and four Legoland amusement parks, Lego is one of the world’s most recognized toy brands.

The most expensive Lego set ever sold is actually a Lego statue sold by FAO Schwartz. The statue is a six foot, 500 lb Batman made almost entirely of Lego bricks. The statue is shipped in three pieces, for ease of construction, rather than in individual Lego bricks. It also features a heavy fabric cape.

The most expensive Lego set in the world sold for $27,000.
