If nikes that cost 15 bucks to make in vietnam can be 300 to us , i honestly cant blame lego considering all the design process and the ideas went to it. Its much easier to copy it now but the initnal concept of everything just somehow matching takes a lot of effort , let alone the risk of coming to this level in the market.
