LEGO: Licensing Leads to the Big Profits

Wired takes a look at how LEGO’s licensing deals with icons like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman and The Lord of the Rings have helped propel the toymaker from a downturn into the world’s most profitable toymaker.

Would you believe $14,762 for the Star Wars LEGOs? At just $1,303, The Lord of the Rings sets are a relative bargain.
