(...) I've heard that too, but I suspect they are just talking about production costs. ABS is cheap, and there's no retooling needed to make basic bricks. So from that end it is certainly profitable. But when you include the distribution costs, I'm (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

Hehe... I figured out my problem... in addition to Le Koro randomly resetting depending on what side of the cave I entered on, I hadn't yet found the golden Hau. Finding that fixed my whole problem quite easily. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I doubt anything LEGO makes, now or at any time in the past, could be classified a loss leader. There is not $19.99 worth of raw materials and packaging in that tub. (...) I think an argument could be made that it might also be a staple for (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

(...) Ahhh, the magic Universal Set words have finally been spoken. I have my treasured 8062 in its own Plano 3720 tackle box for short trips.... I think the reason there has not been a Universal Set in a while is that it's a LOT of work to put (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

(...) That's a shame. I consider the Blue Tub (3033) a staple set amongst AFOLs everywhere. Their content is just too essential to our building needs. Even if you only use 50% of the bricks, it's still worth the $20 price (comparing it to bulk (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)

Now that there is no competition for that (I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)
