My guess is that a set takes about 1 hour to make, if not less. Add in bolts and miscellaneous, I'm guessing these cost in the $100 range to make. Add in miscellaneous shipping/personnel expenses, maybe it comes to $120.

First to market will get what the market is willing to pay. I'm sure they will go down in price if another manufacturer releases something.
You actually think you can buy a 6061 billet aluminum block in that size for $10-$15 piecemeal? Yeah just $20 in 'personnel' and shipping expenses, lol right. Business fail.
