No it doesn't.

Main cost of the mould would already have been paid up to the point the first models are being produced. After that, storage isn't a problem for GW (warehouse is *massive*, and owned by the company). Maintenance? More the casting machines than the moulds.

Makes no sense = Earlybird is talking mince, probably to try to look the big man on the interwebs.
