[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9333468, member: 52734"] Back when WotC itself was doing the minis in-house I suspect they were being done simultaneously and the approval process had less red tape. However, with them being separate entities they probably have to wait until they at least have the art finalized (which is likely late in production - by that time most of the book I suspect has been laid out so WotC knows what's in and what's not) before they turned over to Wizkids, who then have to digitally transform the art into a 3D mini, run their tests and then start production after they get the initial prototypes corrected and approved by WotC. Most likely by the time WotC gives the thumbs up on the mini, the book is ready to hit the shelves. I do wish the whole process was faster, and I think pre-pandemic I seem to recall it being so. I may be misremembering but I seem to recall when Tomb came out both the board game and the mini set came out at the same time. [/QUOTE]
