C'mon, guys, get real about prices. I have it on good authority from a manufacturer who prefers not to be quoted that the cost of everything in China - molding, assembly, packaging - is going up rapidly, and gets higher every week. It won't be long before assembled HO scale freight car models will be selling in the $40-$50 range.
Could there be an upside to this? Such as a possible resurgence of kits vs. rtr, if assembly starts to cost too much over there?
