>>11523362according to this theory, it takes Lego the same amount of "factory time" to make 1 $400 set, as it does to make 1 $10 set?
I might be able to believe that, similar to how you can photocopy a small thing vs a large thing, the photocopier would still run at the same speed
but my instinct says Lego could make a lot more $10 sets rather than $400 sets, but... maybe not 40x
and other than the first The Lego Movie sets, I've NEVER seen sets sell out or be unavailable. they exist on store shelves for years and years. so probably BS on the supply issue, at least
