Aren't they just pieces of plastic?
Why are miniatures so expensive?

Because GW knows that its goys will buy pretty much everything it shits out
Price is part of the appeal. If the miniatures were cheap, permavirgins would realise that they're in their 30s, buying toy soldiers. But when it's expensive, it's totally different and not pathetic at all.
You're not just covering the cost of the plastic you're also covering costs such as designing the model and developing the game.
Obviously it would still be a large profit margin no matter what but it's like a phone. The materials of the product itself are worth a few dollars at most but you still buy it at $800 or whatever.

Good goy.

>this is what GWIDF actually believes
Phone manufacturers dream about the profits GW makes with each miniature, plastic costing literally cents and other costs fell after CAD etc. The biggest moneydrain is their sales chain.
