>>10015359The problem is that you get a ton of side builds in an MK set as well as a ton of minifigs, and that jacks up the prices. The parts to price ratios are almost all fair, but I read it has something to do with Chinese people preferring to get one large set with a bunch of stuff instead of buying a bunch of smaller sets.
I just bought pic related for $100. At first, it was hard to justify, but then you realize it comes with 1 fuck huge vehicle with roller coaster tracks, a medium sized flyer, a medium sized throne/prison, a small flying side build, and 7 minifigs, 5 of which are pretty elaborately detailed.
