We see all sorts of ebay stuff that walked away from the factory, for example, but really no ML figs go that way.
It's also possible that different scales are made in different factories (or different buildings in the same industrial park)- Hasbro cramks out a lot of 3.75" figures after all.

All issues aside, we're getting the very best 3.75" figures ever made and I for one am a happy guy....though moving it all resulted in TWO 30 gallon plastic bins full of figures!

i was in beijing 2 years ago,they seem to have made incredible progress in the recycling industry.and as we already know,they crap on every other country for cheap production rates,so i still find it odd that cost would be an issue.maybe the 4" line is less popular than we think.im just gonna keep grabbing everything i can that is reasonably priced and not even focus on the death of MU,if that is what is happening behind the scenes.if it ends it ends,life goes on.and i dont collect any other lines so it will be nice to spend my cash on something relevant for once.
