Does a third of these indicate success of the first two ?
Maybe they think Eric.H and Henry.L are typical AFOLs. More research would
indicate that most of us use lots of specialised elements in our MOCS.

Basic bricks would be cheaper for small production runs, because surely they
are not selling thousands of these things.

Same here. Now if they used rare or new colours, they would appeal to bulk
brick buyers who cannot access these in numbers (eg. S of L).
