It is a matter of quality. LEGO uses more expensive plastic, and scraps their molds at the first sign of wear. The competitors use cheaper plastics and keep using their molds until they are significantly out of tolerance. This is how they are able to be much cheaper.

There isn't anything magic about what lego does, other than they do it.
