Another reason is they are easily purchased on the secondary market. Like O gauge trains, they were overproduced and demand has dropped.
Not that Lego has a place in my world, but I have sure seen them and their results, and I have never been impressed with the appearance. If I were 5, maybe...but Erector Sets they are not. (Nuts and bolts - what a concept!)
"Overproduced"? No - produced at appropriate levels at the time. The customers died.
They wound up in yard sales and auctions.
