And the reason they switched to inline coloring is because it's _E_X_P_E_N_S_I_V_E_ to procure and house a bunch of pre-colored ABS pellets for dozens of different colors, and your inventory of raw ABS limits your ability to quickly shift production to sets that are proving to be more popular than expected. Making the switch to inline coloring allowed them to shrug off the effects of inflation for a few more years, allowing them to keep the price per piece around $0.10, which is about where it's been since the first minifigs were produced.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-52630608906517777492021-02-27T16:35:33.128+00:002021-02-27T16:35:33.128+00:0016 years of f***ing about with those molding machi...16 years of f***ing about with those molding machines where clear ABS and colour are mixed as they go into the mold, and they still can't produce consistent colours. Only the best is good enough? Yeah, right.
