Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games

Published Feb 1, 2026, 10:31 AM EST

Covering the video games industry since 2017, with experience in news, articles, lists, and reviews (and I blame The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for that).

If you are a fan of RPGs and want a third-person version: Tayná Garcia is a Brazilian journalist (but you can call her Tay) who ended up working with video games after finishing Zelda: Majora's Mask when she was a kid. With more than eight years of experience in the segment, she has been an assistant editor at Jovem Nerd in the past and is currently a contributor at DualShockers and a writer for gaming magazines for Editora Europa. Oh, and she may like Hideo Kojima a bit too much.

If there is one thing that terrifies a gamer’s bank account or credit card more than a new console launch, it is a brand-new LEGO set announcement. And I know that you get me!

That’s because, over the years, we have seen The LEGO Group develop some truly amazing and detailed sets based on video games, and they naturally come with some pretty staggering prices, often becoming the biggest centerpiece of any collection.

We all know how hard it is to resist the temptation of expending all of our savings on one (or even more) of them – because, well, we worked for this and deserve it, right?

8 Video Game LEGO Sets That Prove the Brand Is Targeting Adults More Than Ever

You need to get the reference, have the patience to build it, and be able to afford it.

Jokes aside, I’m not here to be the little devil on your shoulder that whispers for you to expand your gaming collections more and more, but to explore the LEGO side of this hobby and remember the 10 priciest sets that are based on video games.

So, with ranges that go from $80 to a mind-blowing $650 and recreations that go from iconic scenarios to classic consoles, these builds are designed for collectors who aren't afraid to invest heavily in their passion for bricks and pixels! So, shall we remember some of them?

The prices listed reflect the official pricing found on the LEGO website, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation. To keep our selection diverse, we have chosen the most expensive set from each gaming franchise.

10 Sonic the Hedgehog: Green Hill Zone

$ 79.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Sonic Green Hill Zone

Over the last 30 years, Sonic the Hedgehog has appeared in pretty much every medium, from video games and books to comics, TV shows, and even live-action movies. So it is only fair that SEGA’s iconic franchise has also sprinted its way into the world of LEGO, right?

While there are several sets available now, the most expensive to date (and the coolest, in my opinion) is the classic Green Hill Zone set.

As its own title implies, it recreates the legendary first level of the original 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis, and it is packed with small details that make it stand out. It comes with 1,125 pieces in total and includes a bunch of golden Rings, classic TV monitor power-ups, all the Chaos Emeralds, and even Dr. Eggman’s Egg Mobile.

It also includes five different figures for you to display, such as Sonic, Crabmeat, Moto Bug, Dr. Eggman, and the Phantom Ruby. This baby was originally launched at $79.99, but it eventually became a retired product, making it a highly sought-after prize for collectors today.

9 Animal Crossing: Creative Houses: Seasons of Fun

$89.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Animal Crossing Creative Houses

Yeah, the Animal Crossing franchise naturally also was invited to this party, since decorating and building stuff on your own is a pillar of its experience, just like building a LEGO set – and several of which are already available.

And maybe this will come as a surprise to you because Tom Nook’s set isn’t the most expensive (even though he is considered by many players to be obsessed with money in the games), but rather the Creative Houses: Seasons of Fun set for $89.99.

I know the name doesn't say much, but this set is really cool for having 814 pieces and bringing two different houses to build (that can turn into a two-story house if you want), plus lots of furniture, accessories, neighbors, and even four seasonal modules.

It means that you can build your own little house inspired by Animal Crossing on your shelf or office in real life, and even choose the season of the year. Oh, and a plus is that here, no neighbor is going to keep asking you to charge a friend to return their Game Boy.

8 Minecraft: The Enderman Tower

$99.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Minecraft The Enderman Tower

Just like the previous contender for this list, it was quite obvious that a franchise about building stuff would also invade the world of LEGOs – and the Minecraft ones specifically are the biggest terror for parents who are afraid of their kids asking for them for Christmas, as the prices are not low at all.

Curiously, the most expensive set is also the tallest LEGO Minecraft set of all time! The Enderman Tower set measures 45cm tall and comes with 867 pieces and four minifigures, focusing on a giant LEGO Enderman with an all-black appearance.

The coolest part of this one for me is that it literally splits into two builds that can be assembled in two different configurations. The first one is the Enderman Tower with a nice Nether portal, and the second is the fortress with some adventures at every turn.

The LEGO Group describes it as “2 action-packed sets in 1”, which eventually means that we also can expect a 2 action-packed price, since its official price is $99.99.

7 Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

$169.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Mario Standard Kart

I need to write about this one as quickly as possible before I accidentally hit the "Buy" button and drain my savings.

Among the many sets inspired by the Super Mario series and its spin-offs, the Mario & Standard Kart set is enough to make any Nintendo fan jealous, regardless of their age.

10 Best Spin-Off Games

The gaming industry has seen some incredible spin-offs of some legendary video game series, and here are some of the best of them.

It is inspired by Mario Kart, features a surprising number of 1,972 pieces, and delivers a large-scale model measuring about 12.5 inches (32 cm) long. And it even comes with a beautiful display stand to show off those dynamic racing angles and Mario’s cool driving pose.

Given the size and piece count, the $169.99 price tag isn't exactly a shocker, but let’s move on before I make an irresponsible purchase.

6 Atari 2600

$ 239.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Atari 2600

Date Founded June 27, 1972

Parent Company Atari Games

Headquarters Sunnyvale, California, United States

We are now entering "replica console" territory, which is a recurring theme for the high-end side of this list; be warned. But coming in at number five is the Atari 2600 set, a stunning brick-built replica of the classic 1980 version of the beloved Atari 2600.

This kit was released as part of Atari’s 50th-anniversary celebration and includes replicas of three original cartridges (Adventure, Asteroids, and Centipede), alongside a hidden diorama inside that recreates a 1980s gaming room, which is a pure hit of nostalgia for 80s kids (sorry if I made you feel old now).

So many details and nostalgia naturally made it quickly become a retired product after coming with the initial price of $239.99. This means that sealed copies are becoming increasingly valuable on the secondary market, and you may need to mortgage your house to buy one.

5 Fortnite: Mecha Team Leader

$249.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Fortnite Mecha Team Leader

We have just reached another case of the most expensive set of a franchise being also the tallest, with the Mecha Team Leader set, based on Fortnite!

In the world of the Battle Royale, this character (who eventually became a skin) is an absolute juggernaut, and its LEGO counterpart follows the same idea, basically, being 45cm tall.

In case you don’t remember, the Mecha Team Leader is that colorful, iconic robot that saved the island back in Chapter 1, Season 9, making this a major nostalgia trip for long-time fans of Epic Games’ hit franchise.

With an astonishing 2,503 pieces, the set features posable hips, arms, feet, and a head, allowing you to strike a variety of stylish poses on your shelf. It also includes the massive Sword of Singularity and a miniature version of the leader, resulting in one of the most impressive Fortnite collectibles to date for $249.99.

4 Pac-Man Arcade

$269.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Pac Man Arcade

Fourth place goes to the oldest franchise on the list, with this Pac-Man Arcade set that warms the heart of every gamer who lived through the arcade era in the 1980s and the “I’m going to buy just one more token” phase.

Despite looking incredibly real and even having a light red brick that illuminates the coin slot, it is a non-functioning gaming system where you can use a small crank on the side to simulate the classic ghost chase.

It comes with 2,651 pieces, and you can even open it to reveal more stuff inside, like a mini-scene of someone playing the arcade, and even remove the back panel to reveal its inner mechanics.

Oh, and a nice detail that I love is that the joystick really moves! So it is literally a masterclass in nostalgia, and as we know, nostalgia comes with a $269.99 price tag.

3 Super Mario Nintendo Entertainment System

$269.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Super Mario Nintendo Entertainment System

Brand Nintendo

Original Release Date July 31, 1989

Original MSRP (USD) $179

Weight 5 lbs.

I like to describe this one as a 2-in-1 set that is more than special, because it pays tribute to one of the most iconic consoles of all time and also one of the games that helped define an entire generation: the NES and the very first Super Mario Bros. title.

The kit literally recreates the original console, a controller, and even a Super Mario Bros. Game Pak that actually slots into the machine – and it is as beautiful as it sounds, trust me.

Alongside the replica of the console, you can also build a retro 1980s tube TV. Then, when you turn a crank on the side of the television, a 2D 8-bit Mario “moves” across a scrolling screen, jumping over pipes and stomping Goombas!

It truly is a mechanical marvel consisting of 2,646 pieces, and certainly brings back some old memories for nostalgic players. No wonder it originally cost $269.99, but it has since retired, so expect to pay a premium if you're looking for one today.

2 The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree

$299.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree

This was the very first LEGO set for The Legend of Zelda franchise, and, boy, was it worth the wait! I mean, we are all still trying to convince ourselves that it is dangerous to live alone, without this baby inside our home, because it is simply amazing.

Jokes aside, it is a 2,500-piece kit that offers two distinct scenarios for you to build, and that is literally what I love about it the most, since it pays a cute tribute to Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild at basically the same time.

The Best Zelda Games On Every Nintendo Console, Ranked

It's dangerous to go alone, so take this list to unravel the mystery of the best Zelda game on each Nintendo platform!

The Ocarina version is a true nostalgic trip to the game’s first dungeon entrance, complete with Link holding the Ocarina, a couple of terrifying Deku Babas, the cute little sprout, and even a Skulltula hidden in the back.

The Breath of the Wild version features Link and Zelda with the Sheikah Slate, pink cherry blossoms on the top of the tree, and plenty of hidden Koroks (because yes, they are everywhere).

In total, it includes four unique minifigures and the ability to swap between iconic eras, so it is a dream come true for Zelda fans – even at the $299.99 price point.

1 Pokémon: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise

$649.99

Most Expensive LEGO Sets Based on Video Games Pokemon Venusaur Charizard and Blastoise

Finally, we reach the top of the list, and it is not even a close race! With a staggering 6,838 pieces, the LEGO Pokémon set featuring the Kanto starters’ final evolutions is a massive $649.99 investment, being the most expensive gaming set LEGO has ever produced.

It truly is an absolute giant and comes with 6,838 pieces and detailed, posable figures of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise with some pretty impressive heights: they are 9 inches (23 cm), 8 inches (20 cm), and 7 inches (18 cm) tall, respectively.

And each Pokémon has articulated limbs, meaning you can move Venusaur’s vines and even Blastoise’s water cannons (I know we all always wanted to do that). Oh, and it even includes a hidden easter egg within the build, and only those who buy the set will be able to find it.

For me, the best part is that you can display them all together or as separate figures, so you kind of have a 4-in-1 set to change your home decor whenever you feel like. It’s a “win, win, win, win”, if you can sell a lung to afford it!
