Yeah, I agree. I’m not even sure why tooling costs go up in price. Look all all the different things made out of plastic available for peanuts on Amazon. The wheels, gears, and truck side frames are probably a bit more costly I guess. Anyway, all of that requires injection molds to be made, and manufacturers change the cases on products on a whim to suit aesthetics. I’ve seen many products with the exact same internal guts, just with an updated case.
