No it\'s definitely gazillions, I heard this direct from my best friend\'s sister\'s boyfriend\'s brother\'s girlfriend, who heard from this guy who works for Andrea.

How old are you.. honest please tell us..

No they don\'t make Billions.. I have no clue how much they make and no one here will know unless they have inside info. All these companies are private and there for do not publish their earnings.

Games Workshop which is a publicly traded company who just released their annual report,only as sales in the 100 million range and they have a world wide operations with 100\'s of stores and 1000\'s of employees.

Sounds about right, if you add all mini companies gross income up for a year.

Too bad then you have to consider it to be about 100 mini companies, and then have to remove cost from that income to get your profit.

I\'d be floored if every company that makes pewter gaming miniatures world wide added together grossed 250 million. GW makes up the lion\'s share of that, with Rackham, Andrea, etc likely falling far, far behind GW.

Somewhere I\'d read that Reaper had under 10 million in gross, though that was a few years ago. And they\'re one of the larger ones.

Wizards of the Coast probably makes quite a lot, but they really only do random plastic minis and are pretty firmly in the realm of being a \"toy\" company IMO. Guess it depends on what distinctions you make to decide what is a \"miniature company.\"

Miniatures are very niche. Companies that only do that are typically going to be relatively small as a result.

The problem with miniature companies is just their damn size.

It\'s hard to get through the door!

I mean, I have no problem with the little mini workers, they are good people, but the tiny little CEOs are usually right bastards!
