---------> Imagine that - a 30-40$ (US) miniature isn't selling that
well. I will say that a decent tank model in the local hobby shop is
going for about this same price and is roughly the same size, but is
also a lot more detailed and comes with more stuff in the box. If tanks
were cheaper, I'd probably have more. It was similar even with the
metals: Dreads used to be 12$, I had two. Now they're 35$ and I have
none. I imagine the reasoning is that most players will only want one ,
maybe two for their armies, so they might as well make a bit more money
off of them, but the plastics should be no surprise either.

Also, I notice the new Bloodthirster will be out soon - for $45 (US).
Great. Wow. Choose your centerpiece model now, while they;re still 2 for
$100...
