Motorized Lighthouse

"The Motorized Lighthouse earns a BrickScore of 75.2 and 4.72 out of 5 from 1,711 owners; it is a visually stunning and functionally rewarding Ideas set where the rotating light and detailed coastal scene outshine the steep price tag for most who build it, though buyers should go in knowing the value-per-piece trade-off is real."

The Motorized Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the best-looking and most technically impressive Ideas sets produced in this era, combining a detailed coastal scene with functional motorized lighting that genuinely rotates. Owners gave it 4.72 out of 5 across 1,711 ratings, with 89 percent recommending it. The expert consensus placed its value at just 52 out of 100, reflecting the $299.99 price tag against a modest piece count for the cost, but reviewers consistently argued the motors, light, and design quality justify the premium.

Where they split: The main split is between price acceptance and price skepticism. Several reviewers called the cost 'pricey' or only 'a little justified,' while others considered it worth every penny. The expert value score of 52 reflects the skeptical camp, while owner satisfaction at 4.72 overall reflects those who accepted the premium once they saw the finished model.
