The minis are totally unnecessary and are barely generic enough (for Federation, anyway; Romulans and Klingons are nothing but generic) to fit player needs for those groups that want to use tiles. This is not to mention that the included minis are NOT SHIPS, which WOULD be useful when it comes to combat in space. And yes, I'm aware that the Star Trek Attack Wing minis could be used but that entails delving into another market to get ships you want/need for a session (assuming you aren't already buying them).Take out the minis, that'll drop the price by, what? $40 a set? That lowers the price to $220. Put in a standard copy (which will be mass produced and thus cheaper) of the core book and that can shave another $10-$20 off the price. Include only one set of dice (maybe make it a set with one of each color), that'll shave off another $30. Keep the box, the GM screen, the tokens, maps, and character sheets and the price can be lowered to around $175. Yes, still expensive but also a reasonably priced purchase."But what about all that empty space inside the box now?" (Pun not completely intended.) Well, I'm sure we're all gamers and we all know we could find uses for that empty space. 'Room to grow.' Also, an investment for later purchases of the minis. Because Trek fans. (I'm a Trek fan and I want the TNG minis just for the sake of having them.)I'm broke enough as it is this year. I can't - at the moment, at least - afford $175 let alone $380 for an RPG I've wanted since before I even knew I wanted a Trek rpg or even started playing rpgs. On top of the Trek rpg, there's also the Starfinder stuff coming out which I seriously want, the campaign setting for Critical Role if it comes out this year, and possibly two seperate western rpgs.</blockquote>
