[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 250201, member: 2013"] [b]Yes...[/b] I'm keeping the quote tight because I'm keeping my response tight. I would love to use minis in my games. However, here are my problems (in rough order of importance). 1.) Lead/pewter minis are dangerous if swallowed. I have a toddler cruising around the house right now and darned if I'm gonna keep anything dangerous around for him to swallow. 2.) Cost is prohibitive for getting hordes of mooks. I like hordes of mooks. 3.) I'm too lazy to assemble stuff and buy all the special glues and brushes and files and crap I have to in order to do so... don't give me miniatures that require assembly... or that require me to glue them into plastic bases. I want a miniature that comes ready to go in one piece... think "army men." 4.) Don't need painted minis either. My "big boss" and "PC" minis may get painted (certainly not by me) but I don't want to spend hours painting mooks. Having examined this, I know what I want. Plastic minis. Preferably in bags of 50. For 5 bucks a bag. Give me a bag of orcs/goblins, a bag of dwarves, a bag of elves, a bag of humans, a bag of undead, a bag of "beasts" and so forth with 10 different "mook molds" in each bag. Give me a "PCs" bag for 10 bucks with 30 individual molds for PCs (preferably three or four of these so I can choose among over 100 PC molds). Make big bags for dragons and trolls and giants and tarrasques - maybe 10 critters in a bag for 5 bucks. Basically, make 'em plastic so my toddler doesn't poison himself. Make them cheap. Make them one piece. Watch me spend a large amount of disposable income on them. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is since nobody is doing it. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
