It's got over 1000 parts, so it's a pretty decent sized model. As far as lego pricing goes, I've just accepted that it costs more than you think it ought to.

That's actually about the going rate or less. Rule of thumb used to be for Star Wars Lego to budget 10 cents a brick and standard sets a touch less. That rate was over ten years ago. Specialty sets like the architect ones with weird finishes or material are much more. Since then the rates per piece have gone up a touch, but not drastically - <10 cents a brick is still a pretty good price based on historical rates.

Lego Mini Cooper S with awesome bolt-on fender action or Eibach springs for the Miata...

I'm sorry Lego, you're really tempting but I can't take corners in that Cooper at any speed above 5mph.

I think I'll ask for that as a Christmas gift. It looks so cool.
