And I should do a full write up of how I did this, but:

| Number of pieces per dollar for Lego sets. |
Where I've scraped the entire active lego.com catalog, dumped it into a database, classified the series each set belongs to into a few broad categories (Generic is like "City" or "Pirates", Lego Brand is "Nexo Knights" or "Mindstorms", and Licenced is "Star Wars" or "Disney". Other is the "Minifigures" series, which I didn't want to deal with), and then fit mean pieces per dollar for each category, with a plot of the mean and scatter at each price point. The entire database is only 405 entries long, so it's a bit tricky to cut things into too many dimensions. Based on this, you get almost one fewer piece per dollar with a licensed set. The "Lego Brand" thing is a bit skewed, because that's not entirely just sets with regular Lego pieces. In any case, I needed a picture for today.
- I saw this in my RSS, which reminded me of this tweet that Julie retweeted. I think the final line in the tweet infographic is the important thing to keep in mind.
