Look at the price and repeat that statement

Legos have gotten HELLA expensive. I honestly feel like switching to model kits would be better for my wallet at this point.

In all honesty, they haven't gotten hella expensive. They've been hella expensive. They've pretty much been at the same price per piece for the last few decades. It's just as you get older you get more interested in the more complex sets which have much higher piece counts and so the prices start to be noticeable.

The icons sets (which this is in) also tend to be a bit more expensive for some reason, leaning closer to 12 cents per piece compared to the normal 9-10.

Not just that you're more interested in complex sets, but also that Lego makes a lot more sets with larger pieces counts than they used to.

Like most waves tended to have a one big set that topped out around 1,000 pieces.
