Sure, you can get some plastics that cheap, but most are not. Just looking at my stuff, the terminators are $20 each, the character models for each theme week were between $20 and $60 each, heck even the metal WW1 figures were $5+ each. I would suggest an average 28mm non-gw figure is minimum $5 each. Factor in that a few of us did some forgeworld infantry and that goes up to over $15 a fig!<br /><br />2) I think you are cutting all our time short. Minimum wage is $11 and hour, and I doubt anyone in this hobby makes anywhere close to that, I would be surprised id anyone is less than at least 3x that and could afford our addiction. Factor in that a 28mm figure with even a crappy paint job takes at least an hour to paint, 20 min to clean, and 10 min to base, and even at minimum wage you are looking $16.50 per fig, and as a realistic minimum all of our time is worth 3-6x that much! Character figs would be much more, I know I spent at least 8+ hours on each of a few figures (satan, tinkerbell, ariel).<br /><br />All that said, I love the math, I'm a computer geek and love numbers. I just think your estimated impact is low by at least a factor of 5-10!<br /><br />ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-55277884726591924502015-03-22T09:13:23.750-06:002015-03-22T09:13:23.750-06:00Congratulations to all the participants!
