Secondly, the archers you linked to are about the same price as the reaper plastics, counting shipping. I didn't go out looking for expensive examples of DDM figures. I actually did this sort of search 6 months ago, because I ran Sons of Grummsh and wanted accurate minis to represent the foes in that module (plus the mods I made to the adventure). I ended up using the hobgoblin archers instead, and I was lucky to have a couple of orc spearmen (spearorcs??) from the 2-3 packs of Harbinger I had bought back in the day. I recall King Obould ran me about $10, and about $17 for a wyvern, but I did get some orc sergeants and orc reavers or thugs or something relatively cheaply, including a harbinger orc warrior that one seller threw in as a bonus after having screwed up my original order.At any rate, I feel your sales tax pain (9-3/4%), but I only have a couple of hobby shops within about 300 miles, so I take the hit sometimes to throw them some business.When all is said and done, I think the big factor will be the detail/paint jobs. DDMs have gotten MUCH better over the past 12-18 months. Hopefully Reaper won't have the same learning curve.</blockquote>
