[QUOTE="Ogrork the Mighty, post: 1684882, member: 19042"] I'm comparing apples to apples - the exact same pack of minis. I went online and was going to order some for an upcoming battle (I already bought a pack from them earlier this year), and then I saw the price - and did a doubletake! They were 8.99 and now they're 12.99. No thanks. Click. Next website. I can understand rising costs of production but I think increasing your prices by approx 40% is a little ridiculous. That's why you don't "save up" price increases and whack your customers over the head with them all in one shot. Besides, IIRC individual minis were 2.49 (?) last year, then 2.99, now 3.49 or 3.99. That's a lot of price increases. And how do we know it won't go up another buck or two in the next 6-12 months? When is enough enough? Granted, Reaper has excellent minis but with that kind of increase I'd rather buy a bunch of plastics from WotC. My point isn't to rail on Reaper and say that they're ripping us off. My point is that kind of price increase will drive away a lot of consumers. Sure, the loyal fans who collect metal minis may stick around, but new customers will see plastic minis for much cheaper (from WotC) and go that route. Sure, the quality isn't as good but for the non-diehards it's good enough. Remember, for every person that speaks out (like me), they are 100 who stop buying but don't say anything. The last thing I want to see is Reaper become a company that only creates high-ends minis for the hardcore collector. The guy at my FLGS told me about another line of minis (something like Conquerors or Confrontation?) and how great their quality is (which it was). But then I saw the price - 8.99 for a single mini? Are you crapping me? No thanks. I'll stick with Reaper. At least until I saw the latest price increase. Just my 2 cents... [/QUOTE]
