>>9245977>>9245978As far as material costs I'm sure you're right but I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper in the long run when factoring in labor costs for the design process and mold making and possibly assembly. Also, the companies would probably have to deal with less complaints about broken product and owners would have an easier time fixing magnets than trying to repair broken tabs.
Anyway, is just something I've been thinking about since I started collecting Transformers again.
