I have come to the conclusion that a new mold costs less than two 1x1 bricks in
a retail set. How, one may ask, did I come to this conclusion? Simple, set 4702
Harry Potter Final Challenge. The instructions depicted the turntable wall
piece with two 1x1 bricks placed at the bottom corner 1x1 'cutouts'. However
the set was the first to use the newer turntable wall where the bottom
'cutouts' are already filled via a new part without them. If you understood
that then you see why I have come to the conclusion that a new mold costs less
than two 1x1 bricks in a retail set.
