Guindyloo has bought a few games just for the minis, not a lot. They just had a lot of components and so you are thinking it was more games than it actually was. And you were so horrified by it, that while I saved the couple of games that you guilted me into keeping, I stopped throwing the components away for any additional games after that point on camera. My opinion is that if you bought the game just for the minis and you don't have the space, then treat the game components like extra fancy packaging that came with the minis and don't feel guilty about getting rid of it. Spend as much time as you are willing to devote to it to exploring your options for each individual game, ie. check ebay for similar listings, talk to your FLGS, join a facebook group dedicated to the game/post on their forum to see if there's interest in such a thing. But if there's no interest or it goes beyond the time/effort that you're willing to devote to it, then recycle what you can and trash the rest of it. If a game that I bought on kickstarter purely for the minis suddenly one day becomes valuable, well then Buglips will get a very hearty "I told you so". But I grew up with parents who were hoarders, so I decline getting invested in objects that bear no meaning nor value for me. Like everyone else in this hobby, I have a tendency to collect too many minis and mini-related things. I'm not collecting glorified garbage on top of that. Collect the things that mean something to you, get rid of the rest of it and you'll be much happier.
@malefactus I believe you were how I first heard of Ana Polanscak's blog Gardens of Hecate. In any case, the project made me think of you.
Thanks all for the kind comments! I'm glad you like her! Yeah, I'd really like to see them put out some more busts as well, but I think Reaper's main focus is on making gaming miniatures and stuff like this is going to remain as the occasional special limited edition release. Both fortunately and unfortunately there's no shortage of boutique companies putting out busts, but it can be a bit of an expensive specialization to veer off toward. However, honestly you can find plenty of busts for the same price range. I obviously didn't buy her myself, but I think she was in the $30-$40 range. You have to get into a pretty large scale with a lot of complicated details to push beyond that range. You can even find some really nice stuff in the $20-$30 range. Anyway, maybe they'll sell her again this year at Reapercon, or put out a new one. I wouldn't mind a series of similar busts at all. Thanks for the suggestions, but it's not a lack of knowledge, it's a lack of space to dedicate to a proper set up. If I had a place to permanently set up a place to take pictures, I'd get it figured out and it'd be fine. But since I don't have that space, I just don't have the desire to get something set up every single time I want to take pictures of something. I'll try harder if it's for a competition or I'm feeling insecure about how something looks, but otherwise, it's honestly a choice between bad pictures or no pictures. I'd just rather spend my time painting than fighting with lamps and backgrounds and cameras and photo editing software.
