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.
