Saw something on the nooze about this a whiles back. With energy costs and
thus transport costs getting higher Chinese goods are becoming more
expensive. IIRC one toy company was profiled, think they are in New
England, they stopped importing a lot of their stuff from China and starting
producing it here, their goods proudly displaying a "Made in the USA" label.
It's a small trend I guess but I hope it continues...
