There is something weird on the .org forums - you need to have certain domains for your e-mail address, or they won't register you. I received an e-mail from them saying "you need to pay us money to reinstate your account." Uh, no thanks. I would just go there an be sarcastic - and just be lost in the crowd of the hundreds of posters already doing so.<br /><br />BG, the 1980s were a time of higher quantities. Just reading the Tomarts of the time will give you some indications, but for something concrete, check out the comic book sales numbers. A comic in the 80s that hit 100,000 in sales would be canceled. Now, 100,000 would be a top-selling book. Overall, the quantities of toys produced then was probably higher.<br /><br />If you read the examples I gave on plastic production, it makes you wonder why anyone would try to do it on an indie level.John K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12643547504161137741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227268532273409388.post-91250287265926140482010-11-15T06:58:51.512-08:002010-11-15T06:58:51.512-08:00"This isn't sorcery - it is basic economi..."This isn't sorcery - it is basic economics and accounting."<br /><br />Perfectly said - I love it.

It amazes me how we were able to get unique molds/designs in the 80's line all the time once 1985 hit, how much $$$ must they have sunk into molds to just use them once??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227268532273409388.post-79966944481659203872010-11-12T16:16:57.261-08:002010-11-12T16:16:57.261-08:00You got "banned" from a forum for being ...You got "banned" from a forum for being logical and realistic?
