![]() People do the best thing they can afford in terms of time and money. If minis were cheaper from the getgo, literally no one would do cardboard chits or wooden blocks or what have you. Yea, some of his stuff has probably gotten pretty cheap, particularly the first few expansions - he's definitely working ONLY in the black on each one sold. The bigger expansions obviously run more but we're getting into dozens if not hundreds of printed objects with the minis. They're printing pretty crazy numbers, but their plastic mini sets are like 3 printed objects and the mini sprues, and they run about $30-$50. Like, not even close.Ī great example is Kingdom Death. In a game where the expansions are just "more minis that do more different things" the absolute bulk of the cost is in minis. With most KS, including Petersen stuff, i'd imagine a solid 60%+ cost is in miniature design, tooling, etc. At some point miniatures cost less than printing, but that number is something most companies will absolutely never hit. Those are two companies with absolutely insane volume. At the lower end, the tooling and molds and whatnot are extremely cost-prohibitive without volume. Well, not lying, but fudging the numbers because they print at scale. I'm glad you found a trade partner because this won't seem argumentative now.įFG and GW are lying.
