There were only two Final Fantasy VII LEGO sets, and they paid a fortune for one of them

If you are a LEGO collector, you will probably think twice before answering this question: How much would you pay for a LEGO set? Until now, the most expensive one was a set of 795 pieces molding machines that shows how the same machines that build them work. Only 68 were made, for those who attended the factory tour in May 2011, and they have been sold for up to $10,000 signed by its designer Melody Louis Caddick. However, now there has been another set that has surpassed it.

Final Lego Fantasy

In 2023, Final Fantasy VII Remake players chose, through a vote, which scene they would like to see turned into a LEGO set. The winner was that fabled scene in which Cloud meets Aerith in the church, and Square Enix got to work: they built two sets that they gave away in a social media raffle to celebrate the arrival of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Only two. Worldwide. You can imagine what happened, of course.

This set, surprisingly large (measuring 105 centimeters tall and 83 wide), would be the perfect gift for any LEGO or video game fan if it weren’t for the absolutely exorbitant price paid for it: $12,500 in an auction that started at just one hundred dollars and skyrocketed. Let’s hope that whoever bought it takes care of it with all the love in the world.

Although it is true that this set is not commercially available, gamers can get their hands on the replica of Midgar, which has 25,000 pieces and costs a whopping $1,000. Let’s see how you explain at home that this month you’re only eating mac and cheese because you had to have it no matter what.
