[BNW] BNW Miniatures?? [Matt]

[Paul Wilson <Paul.Wilson@po-box.esu.edu>]

	Thanks for the response Matt. One thing AEG might consider is that
there are both high quality Samurai/Asian and Pirate/Swashbuckler miniatures
available while there are no Super Hero miniatures still in production. (If
I am incorrect it this regard could someone point me in the direction of a
company that does make Super Hero minis.) Thus, there would be no
competition in that niche market.  Also, producing enough miniatures for
role playing use is not the same sort of endeavor as making them for a table
top game. Of course I'm a little biased so I'm not sure how much my opinion
is worth on this matter :-}

It's still a possibility, but it's unfortunately not on the schedule yet.
The 
real problem is that there just aren't enough fantastic sculptors out there,

and AEG has committed all of its resources in that area to building Clan
War. 
This makes sense, since if we can't figure out how to get everything in
place 
to have Clan War to make a profit first, there's little chance of either 7th

Sea or Brave New World being able to do better. 

That's not to say that Clan War isn't doing well. I understand the release
of 
the Daimyo Edition of the rulebook is doing wonderfully, but all of our 
miniatures attention is currently focused on that. 

Take care,
