> I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of this is due to how their Chinese counterparts communicate.

Oh, yeah. That! Creators fool themselves into thinking they absolve themselves by saying what their overseas supplies say, but they’re only delaying trouble to when the poop hits the blades. Cthulhu Wars said how they had to have someone at the factory to make sure production was going right. At this point, we should only back CMON, the only creator who has offices in China! 🙁

> produce locally as much as possible.

Archon seems to get this right, but I understand Poland has a strong hobby market. USA and EU are too expensive, and shipping costs have hit non-overseas shipping, such as “last mile” shipping. That said, if you’re open to metal (and resin) KS, you will find local. My KS data points have metal working out out better than resin and plastic (had at least two resins and two plastics fail). And, of course, there’re .stl’s which don’t involve manufacturing or shipping.
