I reckon that Otherworld charges the going rate for such figures. For those who want to save themselves a bit of money, they do warband (9 figures) and tribe (25 figures) deals which knocks the price down a bit. Agreed.

Cool!</i> Exactly what I was thinking, the second I laid eyes on it - good inspiration!

Is 9 pounds for 3 minis reasonable in the UK? Because $18, before shipping, is ridiculous.</blockquote> Most of the small boutique manufacturers in the UK charge somewhere between £3 and £5 for single miniatures, so the pig faced orcs fit in with that fine. Small comfort for those buying with the dollar though. And, good spot Bob - I do remember the troll from the monster manual now that you mention it!

I think that £9 for three minis isn't that bad a price from a small manufacturer. Its a touch on the high side I think but these are multi-part figures and nice sculpts. Kev Adams isn't cheap and neither is multi-part casting The issue is really the US dollar and how it is faring compared to the Pound and other currencies.

It's not their fault our money is worth less than theirs. All we have to do is repair the US economy and everything will get a lot cheaper. It’s not their fault our money is worth less than theirs.
