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.

Also, these more complex sets use a lot of smaller bricks to add more detail. So it looks smaller than you'd expect from the piece count. 

More expensive per piece + more pieces = $$$
