The cost of Lego pieces has tracked with inflation since at least the 1980's. The going rate of a piece is ~$.10. IMO, what you are seeing isn't that Lego's are getting more expensive relative to their past prices, they are getting more expensive relative to other forms of entertainment. A simple example is videogames have generally cost $50-$60 since the 1980's which means that they are relatively cheaper today.
