Last year, Games Workshop fell under a lot of controversy because of the way it was mishandling its Warhammer 40,000 brand, which was exacerbated in the summer as they raised prices on miniatures.
I remember when armies were all metal, except for the boxed set of plastic. The call back then was metal was expensive and plastic would not only be so much easier, but far cheaper.
Now? Plastic outprices metal of 25 years ago. It's insane.
If Games Workshop swapped from minis to blank paper slips of paper with a colored pencil for marking unit types, the colored pencil would cost $800.
