Why are Legos so expensive?

Teton Toys specializes in offering collector's sets which are out of production

Legos are more expensive then "knock offs" and specialty sets are even more expensive. If you want a bunch of generic Legos cheap, go to Walmart, its around the corner, if you want cool sets with specialty pieces, Teton Toys.

Mmnm. I did talk to the owner and he does like ti get sets out of production but his prices are also a reflection of the kind of business he runs. Brick and mortor will never match clicks for price points. Impossible logistics.
