The reason things like this are produced overseas is to maximize profit

No the reason is that Lego is an “overseas” company. From a country with much better regulation than USA on all counts, from environmental protection to workers rights.

But apart from that Lego has a huge factory in Virginia, so there absolutely is local production in USA.

Lego has 7 factories in:
Danmark (Billund)
Hungary
Mexico
Shanghai
China
USA
Vietnam

So you could say almost 30% of their factories are in North America, and the majority of the factories with 4 out of 7 are in the “Western” world.

Edit:
Oh and production was moved overseas, but not away from USA, but on the contrary TO USA.
