Generally, it&#8217;s understood that a good price per piece for a new <em>licensed<\/em> set is around ten cents; examples of these include the Star Wars and Harry Potter themes. You can find <em>unlicensed<\/em> sets that sell for closer to seven cents per piece, so there&#8217;s plenty of wiggle room for finding something in your budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens if I lose a piece?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re missing a single piece but don&#8217;t want to buy a whole new set, you can visit the LEGO website section called &#8220;PICK-A-BRICK,&#8221; where you can buy individual pieces from currently produced sets. The wonderful part about having such an avid fan base of adults is the solid organization and community they&#8217;ve created. There are also trusted third-party hubs like BrickLink where you can find most pieces for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For When narrowing down the best Lego sets on the market, we considered intensity, price, target fandoms, and their cool-factor.
