Lots of other games are/were made in the UK and US and aren't that expensive. It's persistent myth that producing things outside of China is ruinously expensive. We're paying $30 for a box of 7 plastic guys. If you don't think there's an awful lot of wiggle room in that pricing I got a bridge to sell you. The Rendra factory in the UK produces "hard" plastic models of higher quality than Legion for a fraction of the cost. Even accounting for licensing fees and scale differences, Legion could keep costs competitive and make them in not-China. Whether or not they have the cash up front to make a big switch and invest in a bunch of new machines and stuff is another story!

Personally I'm surprised that making them in China hasn't already resulted in Legion knock-offs cropping up all over web.

I spent over 5 years in a plastics company. the markup is just crazy. For example a 55 gallon brute can sells for well over $100. It costs less than $15 to make even including all of the overhead costs such as resin, electricity and labor. Yes, they could sell the $55 gallon brute cans on the shelves for $15 and still make enough profit to keep running with money left to reinvest in the company for improvements. Your not paying for what it costs to make, your paying what they company thinks it can get.

they had a sporty track record until the last two years,.where they've been able accurately get product places on time. The y basically have a month where they focus on an army and book, then get product out to support it in a month-month and a half release window.

I haven't followed them much, wasn't able to find anyone playing FoW locally. When I was researching and buying a few things, it's worth noting they have had some issues with releases, the Soviet infantry was delayed by a couple of months and they weren't exactly forthcoming with updates about it.
