If you read the BBC news article you know exactly WHY they're doing it.
They've also not announced which lines will be effected yet. So this is a non story.

Increased production costs are going to lead to increased prices passed on to the consumer?!  |

Feels like we are getting less belts for the regular elite line figures moving forward as well.

I get it, wrong place, still a weird take. |

Basic Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars won't be affected. I can see the premium lines going up in price since they have metal bases, rubber tires and clear coats on the paint

I get it, wrong place, still a weird take. SHUT UP AND CONSOOM!!! Sadly that's the prevailing attitude of the younger generations everywhere online. HAIL CORPORATE! CRITICISE EVERYTHING EXCEPT PRODUCT PRODUCERS! NO NEGATIVITY OR TOXIC FANDOM ONLY CONSOOOOM! |
