The site says "216 times as big" which is 6 **3. I would have expected that

Bricks are 3x taller than plates. :)

And? :-)

Start with a 2x2 System brick. A Duplo 2x2 brick is 8 times bigger
(volumetrically) than System and a Primo 2x2 is 8 times bigger than the Duplo,
right? Or is it that a Primo 1x1 is 8 times bigger than the Duplo 2x2. I don't
do Primo.

But I'm not sure what plates have to do with it, hence my question about
factors of 6. There aren't any plates pictured in the Construction Zone
blurbage.
