[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5431873, member: 13703"] For me, the "coolness" factor of minis outweighs the cost and storage issues. I started out using tokens (CC Digital to be precise) but found that the 3d element of the minis was just too cool to pass up. As for storage, I have a couple of thousand pre-painted DDM's. They all fit in a couple of plastic tubs. As my collection has grown I have found that I need to sort them into more and more specific snap-lock bags (for example, my Undead bag was split into a Zombie, Skeleton, Ghoul and other Undead bags). However, because I have sorted them so specifically, I can still generally find the mini that I need in about a minute or so. On the other hand, metal minis (or even non pre-painted plastic minis) are much more difficult to keep and transport. You need to store them in something like a mini case so the paintwork doesn't get all scratched up. If they are dropped off the table it can mean anything from chipped paintwork to a destroyed mini. So I can definitely understand the metal mini issues. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
