Seriously? Lego has been in business for almost a century. They should have recuperated their initial costs for their molds by now.

Seriously? Lego has been in business for almost a century. They should have recuperated their initial costs for their molds by now.
- Orangeair 9y agoThey're creating new pieces all the time, plus the molds have a limited lifespan in order to maintain those high tolerances.
- eyesee 9y agoMolds have a finite cycle count before parts go out of tolerance. A typical steel mold might have a million cycles, more complex and precise ones may be much less. At the volumes Lego delivers (~19 billion elements a year), I'd expect nearly 100% turnover each year.
