Big Miniature
Shuffling the miniatures around the table during an encounter turns the conversation to some of the recent miniatures that have been produced. A new 12" tall red dragon miniature gets mentioned as something quite impressive. Despite how cool it supposedly looks, there are the obvious convenience problems, not least of which is 'where would you keep it when you're not playing? It's not like it will fit in a box'.
'... It comes in a box.'
