Considering it's only about .03 pp it's not the most ridiculous pricing for Lego really.  I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up on sale at some point and makes it a little bit more enticing.

Pricing is actually very reasonable. Stonewars tried re-bricking a display and looked at the cost of that.

TLDR: Rebricking isn’t worth it at all

I love the Beatles - but do I really want/need to spend $500 to replace the photos I got for free when I purchased the white album?

Meh. Lego paint by numbers. Nothing special in my book and overpriced for the end result.

🤣 These are pure profit for Lego.  1x1 studs cost Lego practically nothing to produce. You’re paying for the IP and fancy packaging.

LEGO has been "overpriced" plastic ever since the system brick was born. It is known, this is known, etc.

Article reminded me of Newman and Kremer trying to crunch how to get those cans and bottles to Michigan to get 10¢ each.  Except the mother of all mail days (Mother's Day) won't help us out any.  Maybe a pick-a-brick wall on the right day if the main colors were available.

On a different rebrick topic, I was able to buy individual parts for the 2x4 Red Buildable Brick for a reasonable price.  Most were very common anyway but it ended up netting less than the resell price of the promo itself.
