Another clue to the economics lies in the sets' price per piece ratio. Some of the Designer sets go for as little as 5 cents/piece while Jabba's Palace is nearly 13 cents/piece.

Well, as for the cypress tree issue... Lego Direct is responsible for all the new re-releases, and it doesn't seem to have the power to make new molds, I guess to cut costs for more AFOL-targeted models.
