Just out of interest, how are the mould laid out - is 1 pack usually one shot?  I ask because the army packs often contain 1/2 packs.  Is this less economical?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I would love to know the answer to this...

Not for financial reasons: I think your product is really good value.  But because I'm interested in the whole mold, production, melting, metally, thingness of it :)

Each mould usually contains a full pack, with a few spares, so 35-36 foot figures, and 15-18 cavalry.  1/2 packs are usually not much hassle, as we keep the other half as spares for the next time.

Personally I tend to get "army" packs plus add-ons for most ranges I get.

For example, the Peter Pig platoon pack plus some add on packs of figures for CoC or Pendraken battle packs for WW2 Eastern Front plus a shed load of add=ons!!.

The extras become conversion fodder. If I have an idea for a conversion and it doesn't quite work, well I wasn't going to use the figure anyway.
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Being half scot/half Yorkshire, it makes me wonder if any spare figures we have could be traded in for others. Say on a two or three for one basis to cover the factory's costs? A way to get rid of all the unused odds and ends we've all doubtless got lying around!

Sorry just realised when i meant packs. I meant  the standard 30 figure pack, not the army pack doh!

I reckon to cover costs it would be nearer 10:1 in PD's favour  :)

I don't think you're alone there, Conster.  :)
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
