Ok you missed my original point. Bulk tub prices are an acurate reflection of
material costs. Actual sets from both Mega Blocks and Lego have added printing
and R&D costs. So why the huge price difference. Consider that TRU had Mos
Espa Podraced sets at clearance for $34.99. They still make money on that. At
KB when sets are marked half off, they still turn a profit. Simply put we are
paying for the name and nothing more.
