How much does a set of genuine Lego cost? How to tell if a set of Lego is genuine?

When it comes to building blocks, Lego is the original. Not only are there many types, but the ways to play are also diverse. So how much does a set of genuine Lego cost? How to tell if Lego is genuine? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

How much does a set of genuine Lego cost?

It depends on whether you need Lego brand building blocks or Lego-style building blocks. Lego brand building blocks are generally expensive, ranging from 100 to several thousand yuan. Domestic Lego-style building blocks can generally be bought for a few hundred yuan, and the quality can reach 80% of Lego brand. Then it depends on which type you like. For domestic children's series, you can choose the Enlightenment brand, which is more suitable for children. The military series Semper and Penrose are both good. The parts of the Double Eagle of the Science and Technology Mechanical Group can basically reach the Lego level because the Science and Technology Mechanical Group needs to use gear linkage, so the accuracy of the parts is required to be relatively high.

How to tell if Lego is genuine

1. LEGO on building blocks

LEGO has put the LEGO logo on almost every LEGO brick, which has a very clear brand identity and is easy to recognize at a glance. Due to the restrictions of brand patent protection, it is difficult for other brands of brick manufacturers to put the LEGO logo on their own bricks. If LEGO finds out, other manufacturers will be infringing on their rights and will be held legally responsible.

2. Color

The color of Lego bricks is relatively uniform and bright, while the colors of other brands of bricks are relatively stereotyped, not as shiny, bright and bright as genuine Lego bricks.

3. Feel

When playing with Lego bricks, you won’t feel tired even after playing for a long time, but when playing with other brands of bricks, because the texture is relatively rough, your hands will feel particularly painful, and it is easy to be scratched, and the details are not well done. When we hold Lego bricks in our hands, the bricks are relatively heavy, but other brands of bricks are very light in our hands, and there is no feeling of weight.

Will Lego toys appreciate in value?

Lego basically only releases the same model once, with new models released every year. However, because the quantity of Lego is large, the models that appreciate in value are the flagship models or those with special appearance each year. For example, the famous carousel 10196 has now soared to 40,000 yuan. In addition, the number of special parts in a certain model is also one of the factors that determine whether it appreciates in value. Therefore, it takes a lot of experience and vision to judge which Lego models will appreciate in value. My personal suggestion is to just treat it as fun.
