Which don't make much sense as the tooling costs are already paid for so each
additional run would lower the per unit cost? I could still buy the same
Athearn HO kit when I was 42 that I bought when I was 12 years old so they got
maximum value from those old Athearn molds and allowed the maximum amount of
modelers to enjoy the hobby. It's almost like the new marketing scheme is
building in long term failure by limiting the number of models and the number
of happy modelers....DaveBranum
