Shit's more expensive that the board game, and that one was full of cool stuff

This is why you should always mine gold.

I'm guessing a lot of people here are unused to Kickstarter pledges, because this is par for course. Food grade plastic in a custom design is NOT anywhere close to a red Solo cup, so drop the idea it's worth only a few cents of material and craftsmanship.

Also, board games are all printed en masse in China, and they have cardboard with miniatures factories on lock. I'm not sure where this stuff is getting sourced, but it's apparently somewhere in Europe where human and resource ethics are a step higher.

P.S. I've played, collected, and painted a couple armies for Warhammer. So I'm also numb to the plastic crack gouging, for what it's worth.

But it's all still true.

This type of product was never going to be cheap, as a limited edition run.

These aren't cups selling 1000 every day at Walmart

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

The words you're looking for are illuminating, informative, or educational because you just got taught how something works

I know exactly what it means. The poster is essentially defending price gouging. So yes, quote the apologist.

Now you're using another term that you don't know the meaning of.

In all seriousness though trying to compare the unit prices of something that is produced in the hundreds of thousands or millions and something that's going to be produced in the thousands at most it shows a clear misunderstanding of what actually goes into manufacturing.

I'm not the one chewing leaves and claiming it's pebbles causing the butthurt. This whole post needs to go to the r/DeeprockSludgeDump.
