There are some sets that are significantly more expensive.

I was at a wargame convention many years back, and one of the vendors had Zeppelins for World War I air combat games...
...cast from lead.
Lead Zeppelins...

The $500-million luxury cruise liner, built by China, is a reconstruction of the original Titanic, which met its infamous fate back in 1912. The Titanic, although being constructed more than 100 years after its ancestor, will feature the period décor and layout design. Will it come with period correct high sulfur brittle steel?
Made in China so it probably will.

Kind of like 3D coloring books for adults...no skills required or acquired beyond the level of kindergarten, but absent creative imagination with no distinction from any other assemblage.

The set won't come cheap though: Available for pre-order from November 1 and general sale from November 8, the ship will retail at $629.99.
Are we sure that price is correct? Most Lego sets are a fair value at ~$.10 per piece, although most cost a bit more than that.
9090 pieces would usually cost closer to $909, if not more. I mean, this set is double the pieces of the Star Destroyer, yet is $70 cheaper...?

The actual Titanic is in 9,090 pieces.
The replica model is made up of 9,090 pieces.

You're missing the big red streak down the side. My Grandfather saw it when he came over from France in 1912 when he was 8 years old on a following steamer. Paper work delayed the family's transit otherwise they would have been 3rd class steerage on the Titanic.
