wish you get one from hlj!
The amount of plastic doesn't really mean much, because molten plastic only costs less than $1.00 per kit. Instead, they have made the expensive mold, so they have to sell many.
Injection machine can produce a few thousand kits in a matter of a week, so it's not necessarily operating all the time. And as far as I know, only Tamiya and Bandai has its own injection machines, and the rest is out-sourcing the job. That's why there is a log gap between the production runs.
