Yazan:
A LEGO box contains hundreds of plastic pieces. Some have been produced for decades, appearing in countless sets. Others were designed for a single spaceship, castle, or police station. Behind those tiny differences lies a cost that nearly brought one of the world's most famous toy companies to bankruptcy.
The next time you open a LEGO box, you'll notice how many pieces you've seen before — and why that repetition matters.
