Now that the price increases have arrived, it’s time to update our list of the most expensive LEGO sets, with one shooting up the rankings.

The recent price increases in the UK, which we’ve catalogued here, have had an impact on our previous monthly update to the list of most pricey models. One build has managed to climb up the ranks thanks to a hefty rise in its cost
