$0.10 per brick yields a wildly inaccurate estimate. It would be much better to look at which pieces are included in each set rather than average the cost per brick across all sets sold by year.

Indeed. Here's a basic analysis I did on bricks.SE of price per pound of bricks in retail sets if that's more helpful than price per piece:

You may think it's wildly inaccurate, but head over to the lego store and you'll see how closely this holds up. This is by far the highest piece count model I've seen for $119.
