I have to agree. While I’m delighted with the idea of the lego factory sets and keen on getting the models that are available, I’m just not liking the prices. I don’t make a habit of buying $40, $70, & $130 sets. $15-20 sets are more my speed. Even if I ended up spending the same amount overall, something in my head is agast at spending $130 on one set, but isn’t at buying 13 $10 sets.

(...) I'm 80% sure (guesswise) that the reason is "we don't have enough SKUs"... This seems to me a sign of internal breakage, LEGO needs to fix their systems so they can have more SKUs without it costing them a lot more. (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
