For the company? is it like 50 cents a figure or what? are they machine made like an assembly line? Just was wondering after messing with them earlier and looking at the way they were painted

Of course, the critical thing to remember is the cost of a barrel of oil during that particular quarter. If we are talking summer factory production costs, then I am fairly certain that they were higher since gas prices were extraordinary this past summer.

I don't know production costs, but I think someone here (who works at Target) said Target pays about $5 per figure then sells them to us for $8.

Wal-Mart's markup is somewhere around the 30% range, so $4.79 is what Hasbro charges them.
Perhaps.. |

If Hasbro charges the stores, $5 a figure, than they must produce them for next to nothing...

The largest part of producing stuff in China nowadays is the freight costs involved in transporting it by sea and truck to actual stores. |

No wonder we can't get the Joes... everyone who works in Pawtucket gets them all before they hit the shelves!! They must really be loving Wave 10!!
