>>7260806Again, even if you don't believe anything i say, i actually backed up everything i said by posting a company who produces molds, which you're conveniently ignoring and selectively reading from their site.
Again, detailed high pressure injection molds for plastics are over twice as more expensive and can take twice as long to produce.
Again, it proves how cheap diecast production is. (and if you did any more research, you'd know that high pressure injection molds for plastics can only be used half as long as diecast).
And Hot Wheels being made of diecast is why they continue to be as cheap to produce as they were in the 90s. Some things have changed, but it points toward diecast zincshit costing so little because they continue to use it without raising costs.
>People willing to spend upwards of $300 on a single toy are generally more discerning than people who consider anything over $20 "overpriced" LOL, says the guy who needs to ignore the facts to defend fragile materials.
There's nothing "discerning" about you when you're plugging your ears to the fact it's costs so little and then downplay companies who use better materials and technology.
>Hasbro and Jazzwares are both bottom-of-the-barrelYou're completely missing the point, since you're the one claiming they would use zinc if it was cheap. If they were actually bottom of the barrel, they'd be using nothing but diecast because of how cheap it would be to produce, just like Hot Wheels crap or anything that uses zinc like the toys you're arguing are somehow "better made" despite using chinese quality zinc.
>somehow changed the subject to die-castHey, you're the only one here who feels the need to defend a crappy material that is only included to make collectors feel like they're getting more value at higher prices, despite literally being a cheaper low quality technique and material. And what do you defend it with? Nothing but unsubstantiated claims and selective reading. Basically trolling.
