minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·7 days ago Seems to be ~50% more expensive than official Lego sets (cost per Lego piece), I think you missed the 3 on 350%, to make a 45c/pc cost or 4.5x . We could argue inflation takes the base to 20c/pc but then that’s still a 2.25x markup.
minus-squarehemko@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days ago$250/818pc= $0.31/pc but yeah looks like 50% markup is a bit off. Comparing to this xwing set at similar set price $240/1953pc= $0.12/pc That’s 250% more than official sets which doesn’t seem too ridiculous
