An interesting contrast is the 6091 King Leo's Castle 524 pcs. for between
$90-100 USD retail.  Gee, I wonder why I still see so many of these on the
shelves? Could it be that it's actual valuation by the paying public is • more
in the $50 USD range? Even that price would be too much for all those jr.
elements to my mind...

    The thing is that 6091 is 524 BIG JUNIORISED pieces (OK not all of them,
but quite a few - grrr..), I assume bigger pieces cost lego more to produce
(printed pieces probably do as well)...

    Which is why they should bring castle sets like the 6080 back :) 664
pieces, with about 35 of those being large walls/baseplates and the rest
being small inexpensive pieces, although the 10 minifigs and 4 horses would
probably add to the cost but I can't see it costing more than about $70 USD.

(...) Gee, I am no math wiz, but here goes: #3450 Statue of Liberty 2800 pcs. @ $199 USD = $0.07 USD an element #3451 Sopwith Camel 577 pcs. @ $49.99 USD = $0.09 USD an element #3724 Lego Dragon 1530 pcs. @ $99 USD = $0.06 USD an element #7127 (...)
