    Because people pay for the adverts by viewership?

    I know how much it costs to print something like MC having worked in various newspapers the last 10 years of my life. Something about the numbers doesn't add up. I'm curious as to how much of my $40 goes to Master Collector, to my "free" figure, and to the comic that comes out.

    And of course, how much is profit.

    As it was stated when FP got the license that they are a PROFITABLE group (or in it to make money).

    I usually take a look at it... perhaps for a couple of minutes, and then throw it away.

    I'm really only interested in the TF specific newsletter, but I try to read the TF section of Master Collector just in case. I've never found anything interesting there, except a couple of adds for online stores I already knew.
