    It's £74.99 in the UK, and that = $94.71, which is crazy expensive. We may see it in a Smyths toy stores in 6 to 8 months at £55.00 = $69.44 but that's pushing it too. Lego's prices at the moment are high but on certain sets this is one of them they are super expensive!

    YES!!!! I agree 100% Where's Jean!? They really should have scrapped Magneto and Wolverine and included Gambit and Jean, the love bird couples. Hopefully they'll come in the rumored X-Mansion. If that set does end up being true, I'm hoping for a lot more like Colossus, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, Bishop, Angel, list goes on.

    I don't really know how you can adjust inflation by guessing but I think Disney might have something to do with this cuz this is based on their new X-Men series which they think is going to be big compared to a generic X-Men themed Lego set in the past.
    I think yeah Disney is asking for more money from these licenses.
    Similar to what Hasbro did I think last year the year before when it was like 60 years of Spider-Man and all figures under that logo was like upcharge marked up

      The thing is that lego executed the idea very poorly he should've got a darker suit like black with magenta accents or dark purple like habro did with his marvel legends figure. He needed dual molded arms and a new hair piece because they aren't that long.

    I have every single Lego Marvel set they have made aside from some of the comic con exclusive stuff, but I have every single set they have sold in stores and online, and I have not missed a single one yet. I’m very lucky to have plenty of disposable income for my Lego addiction. That said, I still haven’t brought myself to buy this or that Captain Marvel ship from a few months ago because the prices are ridiculous. I know I’ll buy them at some point and I’m just being stubborn over the ridiculous prices lol, but it really is crazy how high they are.
    Also, and you may know this already, but Jean is coming in the Xavier Mansion set that comes out later this year that leaked a while ago.

    It really feels like Jean(or really any other character other than another wolverine would have made this a lot better). Also, the price is incredibly unfortunate because I really do think this is a great set in terms of build. Honestly, pretty much perfect. I really think the people who are saying that it looks bad or like a 4+ set are unable to separate the bad price from the quality of the build

    I am thinking that you are not entirely objective on this topic ;). Personally, I think the main build is a letdown. Not just because it is overpriced, but also because it seems a very bland build. Love the Rogue minifig. But that is the only positive I can come up with.

    This set looks dope! It reminds me of the X-Men Blackbird Jet toy I had back in the mid-90s. I'll get this set...eventually. And I'm hoping we get more (reasonably-priced) X-Men sets down the line with Jean, Gambit, and Jubilee. (We've already got Storm and Beast from the Marvel CMF Series 2, so I'm not including them. A new Storm minifig with a mohawk would be cool, though!)

    This set's price is so high it's truly insulting to Lego fans and the general public.

    Just to let you know, that is how EVERYONE gauges prices for Lego. It comes out to 10 cents per piece but you can't just go by piece count because there are a lot of pieces in this set that are very large and just think of how many smaller pieces that would equate to.

    I went on vacation to Texas and I bought it at full price. I live in Mexico and the set costs around $130! So when I did the math, 85 bucks were not bad at all for me. Despite this, lego prices have been getting out of hand, in my country it is common to see flash sales on amazon or even at the lego stores, cause the sets are not selling that well. For sure there is inflation and several economic effects that move upwards the prices, but of course Lego is getting greedy and in Mexico, retail stores are failing to sell the sets just because there is few people that can buy a set with the "lego mexican tax". For me it is easier to one or two trips to the USA and get them for much less.

    I caved, I'm part of the problem why Lego/Disney is able to get away with these prices.
    I bought this set (planning some improvements as well) and like, normally I'd wait for AT LEAST a 20% sale and I can see myself five months from now looking at Amazon seeing that sale thinking, I shoulda waited... But man, I can't resist. I love X-Men, like many others; the cartoon was part of my childhood. Like I want the Hoopty because it's a nice ship but fuck, not for 90usd. I CAN RESIST THAT. But I can't Resist X-Men. And Lego knows it.
    But I agree, we need a Jean. I hope the rumored mansion set comes with not only Professor Xavier, but Jean, Nightcrawler, Mystique and other characters we haven't gotten yet.

It has 3 good figures as that wolverine is poor, the CMF version is far superior and because of that he should have been saved for that, so we could have gotten Jean instead.
