Lego already makes shit all over the world. Look at the back of one of the big kits and there’s a wildly long list of countries of manufacture.
They probably even make some parts here in the US.
The problem is they have tons of parts, and only one or two factories making any given part (other than really common ones maybe). They would have to duplicate each individual mold to have wholly state-side supply. That’s where it becomes impractical.
They would probably have to try to figure out what they were paying for each part from a different country of manufacture, and that would also be a nightmare.

It seems like they have 3 manufacturing regions:

Also pick a brick probably ships from a Danish warehouse, so it’s all manufactured in the EU.
