I'm not trying to be a wise guy but I've always wondered why these cost more than the other Artin releases? They don't pay any licenses do they?

The reason for them being higher is that the stockers are custom ordered by SCW. SCW designed the bodies and paid for the tooling on the bodies and wheels, so
they are a couple bucks more. Artin charges more for them because on the extra tooling costs that they come with.

Believe Harry when he says that tooling cost a good bit. I have personally researched it and depending on where its made (China or US) tooling for the body alone runs between 10-20K that don't include the actual production. Thats why you see the same car released with a different paint scheme. Companies have to get the most from each body they have tooled. I applaud SCW for having enough confidence this hobby to bring a great product. Recently I was given a tour of a local plastic injection molding plant. The guy showed me a machine putting out little caps that go onto 55 gallon drums. that are thrown away. The cost for producing these throw away caps was 82k. Thats when I realized that I need to learn to do resin casting. |

Thanks guys. I have always wondered what the story was behind the pricing. I didn't know that SCW was responsible for us having the Artin stockers.
That's awsome that they stepped up like that. Thanks SCW!
