>>11644022>because they don't want to pay for molds.I have a feeling that "OMG NEW MOLDS" are not as "expensive" as everyone thinks they are. (even including warehouse space to store the new part)
other companies do it all the time. Disney Doorables, Kinder Eggs, what was the thing with the tiny objects with faces? Shopkins. Dare I say Funko? many many molds. Lego themselves have done molds. 1-off. only in that one set.
it's a case where the argument sounds reasonable, so we all just accept it without question. yes, any cost is cost. but what if the real, actual number is only $0.005? less than a penny per set? math at production-scale can be crazy sometimes
