    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 (...)
