@khy0te I’d say do your digging into your area FLGS community. I know that there’s been quite a bit of markdown on products if the minis haven’t moved. I was able to get some steals at 50% off when it was announced that Guild was going to get the kaibosh and the new plastics were coming in. For that though I needed to drive almost 2 hrs away but it was worth it as the store is one of the best ones in the state. Truth be told one reason I went was it seems to be one of the only ones that seems to stand fast while so many others have come and gone and has some of the best selections I’ve ever seen.

Guildball is probably going full metal as the cost of material and shipping is too high. Looking at the announcement for Reaper beginning their Bones line it made sense for the use of plastics by Steamforged. It also makes sense once you figure that GW made the switch years ago as well. The ability to get sharper detail for your casts from injection, minimizing mold lines, sculpting smaller parts and getting longer life from the molds all points to plastic being a better option. I’m a fan of metal as well to get a heft in the hand when I hold a piece but a case full is a pain to lug around after a while.

The likelihood of getting original teams is all dependent on how hard you’d be willing to dig to get them now.
