1. the things I could do with that many legos
Ive always had a bit of a hankering to create life sized useable lego furniture. Once I have a place with room, The yardsales will begin to yield their legos unto me.

2. If LEGO charged prices proportional to their actual cost of production,
more of this kind of wonderfulness could be done.

Instead, LEGO prefers to charge about $0.33 a brick for something that cost 0.01 cents to make, and maybe 1 penny a piece to box up and ship.

5. If LEGO charged prices proportional to their actual cost of production
they might not be able to offer their employees decent compensation and benefits. I believe they have a good reputation for taking care of their people....
