811 pieces for $70 to build a bird. A cute bird, sure — but LEGO® charged premium-set money for what amounts to a novelty sculpture of a creature that peaked in 2017.
The parts alone are worth about 59% of the street price — the basis for this F price read.
OverpricedYou're paying well above the parts' value — $68 of parts for a $115 price.
The Porg is a creature set in the mold of the Falcons and Owls line, and as a desk sculpture it does its job — big expressive eyes, decent size, recognizable silhouette. The problem is $69.99 for 811 pieces of a Star Wars mascot whose cultural moment had already passed at launch. The build itself is more interesting than the box suggests: there are some clever SNOT techniques around the face and feathering that reward patient builders. But the single minifig (a Porg minifig, naturally) does nothing to justify the price, and the overall experience feels like a novelty that outstayed its welcome before it even shipped. Hardcore fans of the creature or the sculpt style will find something here — everyone else will feel the sting at checkout.
