It was interesting to hear him talk about the designs.  The orginal snow

That makes sense--profit (the money the owners get to keep) is earned on
the margin.  If they earn a few pennies from each set, and they can shave a
few pennies off the cost of producing the set, and not impact projected
sales, they've increased their profit considerably.
