Reaper at Origins 2019?

Origins this year was... different. Not bad, but no Reaper Mini, no Cool Mini or Not, no Games Workshop or Forge World, no Wyrd Games, no Crocodile Games. Did all these miniature companies coincidentally decide not to come this year? Or is Origins somehow discouraging mini companies? Iron Wind Metals was there and of course WizKids along with Gale Force 9 and a few other smaller companies, but it seemed weird.

 

I still had fun and spent too much money, but it was... different.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Origins was alright, but the lack of Reaper's Speedpaint was a major bummer. I was looking forward to maybe getting some really great deals from CMON like I did last year. It was amazing how little miniature representation there was. I stopped by GF9 hoping they might have a Behir, which is the only one of their minis I really want, and they told me there might be some at GenCon as a limited re-release, but sadly, I won't be going to GenCon, so that's a bummer. I wound up spending most of my money on MtG related stuff since there was no real miniatures representation that met my needs.

There was a dearth of Minis in the dealer room.
