To: lump in the melting pot

I was watching Chinese TV the other day, and they featured a visit to some factory that produces copies of the Terracotta Warriors. Several American folks doing the tour, and they came to the gift shop at the end. Curious thing is that you can buy the smaller versions (1 foot or less) of the warriors.....but they will sell you various full-size ones. The issue is....getting the thing back to the US. It’d probably cost at least $2k to ship the thing back in one piece.

If they could find some way of mass-producing them, and getting them into some US port cheaply....I think a lot of guys would like to have a warrior in their backyard, as a gimmick of some type.

We were in China about 8? years ago and saw these as well a a factory where they are reproduced. We bought an 18” warrior and had him shipped to us. That size wasn't that expensive to have shipped, but it did take months to get.
