All were obviously 3D printed. Layer lines were very clean. Even saw a kid walking around with one in hand hugging his parents to buy it for him.

      They were running at $9.99 if I remember correctly. Just finished a 5 hr drive, the stopover at Cracker Barrel was a pitstop en route.

        My daughter’s friend got a 3d printer for Christmas (K1C) and started making bank printing anything he could find free off Cults.

        This little kid - think he is 12 - is printing those dragons and everything else imaginable and taking them to school and selling them to classmates.

        Am pretty sure my daughter told me that he was selling them from $20 up to some of his classmates. Whereas chump me will give them to friends for free.

        That’s fair.

        $10 retail

        approx. $7 for the manufacturer (30% retail)

        cost 2x “formular”: $3.5

        With packaging, this might cost around $3 to make.
