Haha you guys are funny But its not just US inflation, China is going through a bit of inflation because of the increasing size of their middle class. It puts pressure on the wages in these factories. Assembly and spray painting are big chuncks of labor costs.

What's the evidence that Dwight actually actively hates our scale? I don't follow like every interview or whatever do has he actually said anything direct? Is there a chance that someone above him is forcing his hand?

Its an attitude that's been obvious over the years. However, the past year or two Dwight has been more subdued was actively deferring 4" questions to team-members like Vala. But back when MU and ML were both competing for attention, him and Falcon would actively deride 4" as not for collectors and inferior to their 6" product. They would say shit like "Now for the real stuff" when moving slides from 4" to 6". They would give Vonner shit about his product. I remember some back-and-forth on the SDCC panel where they where giving Vonner shit and Vonner replied if they stopped 4" then all the money would dry up too. (At the time, 4" profits were helping the comeback of 6"). This was in a public-facing panel! It was pretty ridiculous since they could have succeeded as a team but instead instilled division and competition between their own products.
