yes, but with things like buying in bulk wholesale and things of that nature, they can do it. Alyosha is a one man shop. If he had 1,000 employees and a manufacturing machinery, he could drop the price by making stuff in bulk. But there's not enough of a market for his goods in the mainstream.

How can Hasbro sell figures for $6.00 a piece? they have the manufacturing resources that Aloysha and GTG customs don't!
