Unfortunately, your perception isn't shared by a lot of non-AFOL parents.
They look at, say, the LEGO X-wing, and see the $30 price tag, then they
look at the Hasbro X-wing which comes in a box about 4 times as large for
the same price, and get the big one for their kid. If the parents aren't
into LEGO, they're probably not thinking about the 'replay value'.
(And I think it's even worse in Aussieland, where this thread started
out.)
