I'll bet a six pack of Belgian ale that the guy who made them and sold one set on ebay, didn't pay anywhere near that for a mold. I can't lay my hands on it at the moment, but another list member sent me a book title from his library that tells how to make your own molds for latex pieces. I'll bet a second six pack it can be done for a couple hundred. It might not be suitable for a "production run" of thousands of units, but it would get the job done. If Dale doesn't want to do it, perhaps he'd license a list member to do it if he was satisfied with the quality?
