That's not the point of the comment... This is:

That is *WAY* out in the left field.  I guess you had to be there .  .  .

Thanks Ski

Stop this China bashing please . These were made to accepted standards of CMW , the source doesn't matter .

It’s not China that’s the problem. It’s the importer. The Chinese will make what you want at whatever quality you want, but you’ll have to pay for it. It’s entirely on the importer to specify what they want. No one complains about their iPhones being badly made because they were built in China, because Apple sets high standards and holds their manufacturers to it.
Now it’s entirely possible that no one would be willing to pay for N scale cars with excellent tires, but that’s kinda a different issue.

It also may depend upon what sort of product the manufacturing subcontractor is used to making.
Is their regular business producing quality models or is it closer to producing toy cars for kiddies?

The above listing is for all their vehicles - look for the on-sale items.  Really good prices.  Too bad that these aren't better models. IMO, by today's standards (especially the wheels) are fairly crude.

Those are good prices.

If the quality of the wheels is an issue, I suppose you could switch scales; the wheels on their HO models look great!
