Why are plastics more expensive?

I think it's a deliberate strategy with those boxes, yes. Like the Dark Angels Veterans, also, possibly Patient Zero of this.

That would be the Black Templars #Pedantry.

But yeah. Assault Marines, 2nd Edition, £25 for 5 with jump packs in metal. I remember. I have 20 of them!

I remember those lead prices, also let us not forget that the cost of crude has increased subsantially.

This has a huge knock on from direct plastic costs, fuel costs, transportation costs, this also influences the cost of food and drink for the employees which means wages need to increase to cover inflation which is also pushed into the cost of the miniature.
