I've heard a lot of discussion lately about how hard it is to get a factory in China to produce medium to high end toys, especially low quantity orders.

If this is the case, why not produce the toys in the US? Surely this would save some on costs even with a higher wage.

All the molds are in China. So they would have to ship the molds over here to use them. Alot of the old vehicle molds were here in the U.S. (Warthog ATV and Mauler) and they used a factory in R.I. to make them. But all figure molds are in China. The Club tries to run it's figures when Hasbro does (called piggy backing) to help defray costs (they did this with the 12" body when Hasbro was making the Indy figures. The Club had a very large run made for future uses). That is one reason they are awaiting pricing and such on the sub figures. If they can run them all at once it will help with costs.
