New MINI set # 2 pictures: Who are they Cruel STRELETS?
Hello Strelets
I've just seen the pictures fom your New MINI set # 2
How cruel your are.
According to their dress and the bows, it seems they could be English bowmen from the Hundred years war.
This brings me to the question if these figures are e made in the same style as the usual Strelets figures (plastic/price) or if they will be different?
When I understood it right, the usually moulds of Strelets are good for around 5-6000 sprues. With
four sprues in the box, are there than just 1500
boxes available?
Assuming a mold costs x then to produce a normal set 4 different molds are required. If each mold lasts 5,000 uses then 5,000 boxes of product needs 4 molds = 1 mold / 1,250 boxes.
Now the mini series require 1 mold and this mold lasts for 5,000 uses too. However, at 4 uses per box, only 1,250 boxes can be produced before another mold is needed.
So whichever wat you look at it, the costs of 1 mold need to be amortised over 1,250 boxes regardless of whether the box is standard or mini.
