Quotes (from this video)
- Miniatures are cheap to produce and they sell extremely well because they are seen as a premium item and can be priced accordingly.
- What I can do, however, is dispel the idea of the value of miniatures. They are not as expensive as the price of board games with miniatures would lead you to believe.
- It's like you're speaking different languages. In other words, when you play a video game, you can connect with something emotionally, but you don't get to own it physically.
- The onus should not be on the consumer. It should be on the industry itself.
- I am a big fan of bonnets, and also bees, but not together. I couldn't help but notice that when I purchased the Iron Fist Alexander miniature, it looked really cool.
