Subject: Interest in Cheap Plastic / Lego Ripoff / Cardboard Terrain?

Just wondering if there's any real interest in very cheap (<£5/£10) terrain? I have a supplier who has a wide range of historical stuff and I might shove up a store front for it. It wouldn't be primarily miniatures focused but I'm not really certain you can get this stuff anywhere. A lot of it would be DIY so you'd have to put it together yourselves.
Primarily wondering if there's interest in plastic, DIY Lego-style or cardboard and at what scales.
Pictures below.

I don't know that I have any use for it, but I love the look of that walled Japanese household.

There's a couple of those I could offer with similar styles. They do look absolutely gorgeous.

The cheap plastic looks awesome. You could paint right over the top of it to weather it and make it look less like a toy.
One of the worries I have is the lack of ability to just whack the terrain out, so you're completely right. It's more the sort of stuff you'd have to keep in a set location to reuse.
Yeah, the cheap plastic is excellent. The selection is much less, especially medieval focused.

Where is that... Not-Lego thing from? I'd like to see the line of those figures...
I have a use for that.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

Definitely liking the cardboard stuff, and I could see a use for the plastic stuff.
Got enough Legos personally to not need rip-offs to build things.
