You try and make patterns, moulds and other related production tools etc. then only produce small ammounts from them, that's why!. Stuff for jap crap is made by the dozs, as clearly there are more of them, so cost of tooling is spread out. Incidentally 'devil's advocate' Brancato eng are writing off all the tooling costs for the bellypan, so that each purchaser gets one as cheap as. Not a personal dig?, ..........I think it is!. |
