Based of the fcbd books the quality is actually much better than anticipated. And your out of your mind if you think printing can't be done at that price. There's a reason most of the goods on this planet are produced in China. Come on dude , we"ve all read the quarterly we know how expensive it is
to create , and there's even a per page number in the quarterly report ( if
You read it you would see) there's also time needed for printing and shipping . There's much better things for you to try and bash, just try and atleast get a bit more creative . I mean altering the Wikipedia page was an attempt , but even so only a 2/10.

National Periodicals (DC Comics' previous name) used to print several different comics in the 1940's more than a million each, on a monthly basis.. That was with 1940's technology. It was the same with several other comic book companies back then, each book was printed at a million copies, or more. I don't see printing a million copies a week to be a big problem.

Benny seems to have a lot of lead time built into his printing. He can probably handle a few print problems, if he has to. He can also farm the job out to another print shop, if necessary.

I don't know what the costs of bags and printing them are.

I don't see these as being big problems. The larger problems are getting enough advertiser slots filled at a good CPM (Cost Per Thousand) rate. If the company is profitable , it really doesn't matter what the costs are. Profit is good.

If the company isn't making a profit, it is bad.

Did you attempt to alter the Wikipedia page that you posted? Is this true? There are plenty of things to be concerned about (real issues) other than created ones.

I've got plenty of concerns but I will say that printing a million books a week is not one of them. Cost of printing lowers in bulk so I am am not worried about .25/.30

Legitimate concerns should center around share structure, operational funding, and the continued use of convertibles.

I "hear" you duke and time to print is not one of my areas of expertise so I have no rebuttal for that on my end. I will leave that to others. However, I might have a solution. Our Mr, B. Has to get word to Mr. Murdoch of 21st Century Fox and let him know about our IP and very capable talent we have on the REDG staff and Mr. Murdoch can forget about Warner, LIN and Marvel. We are them all wrapped up in one and all we need is HIS MONEY. He has all the printing presses you could want and with our know how and his financing we could eventually get tho rival LIN. He owns many papers among which, I believe, are the Wall Street Journal and Barrons. Can you imagine getting one of our comics like Magica , free, stuffed in your weekly/weekend Barron's or Journal. This could also be done to his other papers. We would not be talking about 1,000,000 a week, we would be talking about 10's of Millions. Could you imagine the increase in advertising rates? Mr.Murdoch did not succeed In taking over Warner, he is not a quitter, IMO, he is on the hunt for property like REDG. According to a post I read on our ,Sister, website--- he recently made some sort of a TV deal with BOOM. A merger, an agreement whatever you might want to call it ---is a perfect "marriage" for the two. My guess would be around THREE to FIVE. really BIG ONES with a "B". That is pocket change for MR. M and he can be off and off running in competition with Warner. Call it a " pipe dream", "hog wash"--- whatever--- it makes sense to me. You have the floor Mr. D.

The cost of printing the books even with the new bags is cheaper than the originally planned in the first 8k that said ~280k for printing and ~280k for shipping and distributing.

Also that's the great thing about active Media and print shops not being apart of REDG. One of those companies bought the machinery to automatically place the books into the bags. So it's not going to be hard with an assembly machine that will automatically implant the books into the bags. At least read the investor report at the top if you don't watch the investor report.
