The bricks shouldn't be as expensive as they are if its not that expensive to create them due to the whole thing being robotic.
Did you counted the cost of the Machines, the designing for the machines, the ingeniering of machines, the best sort of plastic, the best fit of pieces, the shipping from denmark to all nations, the find-new-ways/designs-ingenieurs, the hole thing ist nor that cheap...
Just take a look to Enlighten. Cool copys of sets/pieces, but not the original quality of Lego. (Ok, its enough for a brickfilm-set).
But, yes, Lego is not cheap - but its LEGO
Plastic is made of oil. Oil costs an awful lot these days.
It would be nice if it wasn't so expensive, but they do make A LOT of it. It must cost a lot to make that much, and ship it ACROSS the world!
Theres a lot of work:
Machine Design/Construction/Maintenance
Theme/Concept Designers
Brick Desginers
Packaging
ABS PLASTIC
Facility Operation (Power, Heating, etc)
Shipping
ALL OF THAT GOES INTO

) money
Interesting Video
