one thing i don't ilke about those low budget ones is the paint. they always come out dull. everytime my friend buys one, i just have to polish it up for him, otherwise i don't feel comfortable even tho its not mine.
Like I said, the paint on the BBRs is top notch! Cheaper models can't match it.

About the factories in China: I suspect they're big and have lots of employees. Besides, every worker is trained to do just one bit and not to assemble an entire model. They can do their job really fast. Just think of those little umbrella's for ice cream and cocktail drinks. They're handmade as well. They hardly cost any money and the output is enormous.
