I'm over budget thanks to Kingdom Death's pretty large reveal. I had budgeted for one new sculpt, he drops several plus a couple nice re-releases.

 

For the first time...it's ebay time.

 

I'm still in for the two board games and the Tablewars case, but it's not going to be good for more minis until next year. And I think Tre is planning on another one this month...

I was gonna say, didn't we JUST have a HUGE KS for tons of minis? I'd be willing to bet that some companies might have actually held off because of Bones 2.

 

I've spent about 10 grand this year on games. My wallet can use the break for a bit...at least until February (DF2).

 

I personally am not unhappy we are in a "minis lull."

You're lucky we stopped burning heretics around here.

I think most of the mini companies that expect to have big KSs stop around this time of year, simply because it's harder to get money out of us once the Christmas decorations start going up in the stores. It becomes a battle between needing to buy gifts for others that are due in a 7 weeks or less Vs. pledging on toys for ourselves with delivery dates a year or so out.

 

I think this is spot-on. Any Kickstarter campaigns starting now are going to be competing directly with holiday shopping. Plus, anyone who's been watching recent miniatures-related KSes probably knows that some big ones just wrapped up (e.g., Bones II), so even people interested in backing those new projects might not have the funds to do so.
