Some highlights...
GW made more this year due the the GBP being comparatively week against the US dollar and the Euro.

They are going to continue to move the lines to Plastic, and they think that the plastics are better than the metals , and they will charge metal prices for the plastics...

Also they seem to be doing ok on the licensing front ( read this as the royalties for the RPG and THQ on the video games)

FW has had huge growth and they have now outsourced/opened a new resin casting facility in China for FW....Shanghai to be exact to help with the demand.

This last statement has me the most peeved... The costs should be way lower now for the production, but the continue to charge Higher prices for the resin goods, and there Quality control has be come an issue with miss packaging and miss casts becoming more frequent.

What are you thoughts on this?
