They're being a tad rough with the merch!

having to assemble 300 plus x-wings a day I'd be throwing them across the room and pulling my hair out :lol: don't know how they did it all day, my mum used to work for matchbox in the 70's so think they used to rotate the workers around before madness set in

When I left school I spent a summer working for Bluebird toys on the production line making the Big Red Fun Bus.. I screwed the spare tyre on the rear of that thing for six weeks with a on hour lunch break and a one hour swop to packing sticker sheets each day (either in the morning or the afternoon in rota with the lady I worked with)... X-Wing ladies.. I feel your pain!
