- Seems to be ~50% more expensive than official Lego sets (cost per Lego piece), it's not terribly too much considering it's kind of 3rd party custom stuff
  
  You are also paying for the seller to buy the LEGO bricks and resell them, there has to be a mark up of some kind.

  I think you missed the 3 on 350%, to make a 45c/pc cost or 4.5x . We could argue inflation takes the base to 20c/pc but then that's still a 2.25x markup.
- I decided to buy one for display in my shop, it showed $249.99. There was a $65 coupon that auto applied, but it also added a minifigure popcorn bucket but that was only $2.50. All said my bill was $201.67USD.
  
  Feel free to post it once you're done!

Oh wow that’s really cool!
