Re: Re: Re: Molding lines....What are they ??

[quote=360spider][quote=scaleracecars]Well, Rumor has it a new tool casts around $20,000 to produce.

I actually heard more than that - about $200,000 I know that Tamiya spend almost $500,000 for the Enzo tool.
Typo. I meant to type 200,000. Anyway just as I figured a lot of 20,000 models does not even come close to making a return on an investment. I would expect a mold has to produce in the range of 100,000 plus models to make any money at all for a manufacturer.
