Lego price per part over the years – Brick Insights

Is it just me or does the data aspect of the site feel horribly designed? E.g, the main graph is hard to read since most of the data points are in the $0.10/part range but the graph's y-axis is overwhelmed by the right side with it's $3.11/part train set. And if I click on that, https://brickinsights.com/sets/categories/26 shows 4 data points and it's overwhelmed by a single outlier from 1991. And the time-sequence chart near the bottom uses a line graph rather than a scatterplot which overwhelms the useful data.

A better graph would be a time-sequence scatterplot of price/part on a log scale like https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/5oanki/leg...

You can turn off some of the series to make it easier to read.

Of course very few people are experts in visual display of data, but this one is so horribly bad. Log scale please? The title of the post should be a simple chart, and there are charts on the page, but it's completely impossible to get the useful data out of the charts. Sheesh.
