It took a few YEARS to develop LU. Even if LU completely broke even after it was launched, they still would have lost money because it took a lot of money to create it. Also, if LU WAS making enough money not only to be profitable, but to overcome the costs of making it, then they wouldn't have shut it down. One way or another, LU has lost money for LEGO.
