Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

I know with miniatures is that without a rarity system they are actually uneconomic to produce, so in fact the collectors are subsidising the people who just want to go on the second-hand market and buy a bunch of zombies and orcs.

Which miniatures are those? I don't think Reaper Miniatures is dependent on the secondary market for profit. Games Workshop perhaps?

Licensed pre-painted miniatures, like D&D or Pathfinder or Critical Role. There's a reason they are sold in blind boxes.

I figured it was to hide how poorly painted they are. lol

The prepainted minis WizKids sells in clear packaging that you can actually see what you're getting tend to be painted better, but the handful of random blindbox minis I've picked up on clearance have all been horribly painted.

They are truly awful. I would never buy them.

Not a reason that's good for play, however (the thing they are theoretically intended for).
