Title: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: Thomas Grey on January 26, 2003, 03:04 AM
Star Wars Clix?

I know that licensing would be a pretty big task for Wizkids to pull off, but I would love to see them do a line of Star Wars 'clix'!
The Mage Knight stuff is pretty cool, Mechwarrior is ok, and I am hopelessly addicted to the new Marvel Clobberin' Time Heroclix run! Anyone else agree this would be an ultra-cool thing to add to our collecting and role playing lives?

I saw these at the local WotC store the other day and thought the exact same thing.  While I wouldn't buy them (I have enough crap ;)) they do look fun and would be a good idea for the Clix people to persue

I used to be really into Mage Knight (collecting, not really playing), and I think Star Wars would be really great in a Clix line! WOTC hsa been expressing an interest in this liscense, so perhaps we will see these down the road.

The only problem I have is with all the extras, and the setup of rarity. I realize to keep it a game you have to set rarity levels, but going outside the set is what turned me away from Mage Knight and Hero Clix; there are just way to many convention exclusives, mail exclusives, tournament exclusives, etc. For a completist like me, I'd go nuts (and broke) trying to get them all. Combine that with a group of people who get mad because they cant find the figure that was released yesterday (Im not saying everyone, just those who really think like that), and you also get a lot of people that will ruin the hobby for others.

If they kept the set within the bounds of the actual retail set, I'd be all for it.  They could make some cool expansion stuff as well (ala Mage Knight castles, etc). They could easily make a lot of scale vehicles, environments and other stuff. Not to mention the fact that the Star Wars TCG isn't doing well, and all of the mini roleplayers are doing quite well, WOTC would be foolish to not look into it!
Title: Star Wars Clix
Post by: Thomas Grey on October 28, 2003, 05:18 PM
Just wondering...

Now that the LOTR Clickable figure/rpg have been announced and realized (release is soon I think) it seems Star Wars will want in the game too at some point. I know that anyone who wants to buy the licensing is going to pay a pretty penny, but they would be very cool and something to look forward to as an expansion of collecting for when it's all said and done. I know that the Marvel & DC are very popular here and the sets get a lot of play on the auction sites and they have intentional limited edition figures for those of us that like the Toy Fair Vader...

I am all for it and hope they do get something in the works at some point in the future.

Anyone else interested or looking forward to this happening for the Star Wars universe? Or do we have anti-Clix people out there?

If they announced Star Wars Clix, it would probably be the best and worst Star Wars news I've ever read.

I love "Clix" style miniatures. For a while, I was overboard obsessed with Mage Knight, a very cool game. I love miniatures, and these are a great size.

On the other side, like you mentioned, are more exclusives than you can shake your fist at. Stuff harder to find than Toy Fair Vader or the Gentle Giant Blue Clonetrooper (so just imagine what it would be like with Star Wars applied to the equation). Also, the set sizes and frequency of releases make these really difficult to collect. At least with MageKnight, there were 3 to 4 150 (regular) figure sets released per year. Add to that the packing scheme (not everything is available in the same ratio, like CCGs), and you add an even higher expense to collecting these.

So on one hand, I love the idea, but on the other hand, it would drive me crazy trying to collect them.

So tell me more about these LOTR clickables. Got a link? That surprises me, since GameWorkshop deals so heavily in LOTR miniature role playing figures, didnt think there would be such a huge difference in the license.
Title: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Thomas Grey on January 15, 2004, 09:15 PM
From what I've read, these will be similar in scale and presentation as the WotC D&D CMGs. A new game will be introduced and provided with the starter sets and the 'super rare' miniatures will be packaged only in the boosters.

What makes this cool is they can also be used in the RPG arena. Purists might argue that the prepainted figures are a bit of a bummer and unpainted miniatures would be nice. I don't know really.

Just curious how many are looking forward to a new era of SW miniatures.
Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: JediMAC on January 15, 2004, 10:43 PM
I'm not a "gamer" at all, nor do I have any plans of becoming one, but that said - I do love miniatures.  So I'm very anxious to see what these turn out looking like.  I contemplated picking up some of the older ones, but have no painting talent (or patience) whatsoever, so I passed on those.  But since these are pre-painted, I might be very interested in collecting them just for the hell of it.

Heck, they may even work well with the old vintage Kenner Micro collection, or even the modern Micro Machine sets.  That could be an interesting combination...

Any idea when we'll get a peak at some of these Thomas, and how much they might cost?
Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Jesse James on January 16, 2004, 12:57 AM
Being a semi-Minis aficianado (If I do say so), I'd have to say the idea of pre-painted is a major turn-off, as is a collectible version of minis gaming.  

I've heard rumors of them being similar to the D&D style but I've also heard rumors of them being a re-production of the famous West End Games Miniatures Battles game from days of yore.

Pre-painted, I can safely say, is a bad thing though...  Painting them yourself is part of the fun of the minis hobby partly, but the other part that's bad is the paintjobs are never of the quality that you can acheive on your own.  You get mass-produced paintjobs more or less.  They rarely look up to the standards of the miniatures hobby overall.  Lots of touch-up work to do if you want them to truly shine generally.

A real minis game is the Lord of the Rings Tabletop Miniatures Battles game.  THAT thing is amazing.  It's everything you could want in Lord of the Rings, and honestly I'd say forget sinking your $ into those crappy Armies of Middle Earth figures, and start buying/painting those minis instead.  TONS of great figures from all 3 films, and in a scale small enough that you could make a true-scale Helm's Deep and it would look great and not take up that much room.

And top it off with you being able to actually PLAY with it too. :)  Kick ass!

I was/am still hoping the Star Wars minis game is similar...  The old West End Games minis batttles were that way, and that's a game with a still solid following to it.  Those minis generally fly off of Ebay for good prices...  At least the army builders do.

I've got a nice army, but need to cast more of them, especially if this upcoming game isn't a true miniatures battles game, but instead is one of the D&D style games that is out.  :(  I'll be bummed if that's the case though.
Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Thomas Grey on January 17, 2004, 01:53 PM
That's cool that you are a miniature painting fool Jesse! That is something that requires a lot of patience and techniques with a brush that are challenge for even experience fine art painters. I am by no means saying that miniature painting is a lesser art form...

Do you use kolinsky sable brushes when you paint? If so, what brand and size do you prefer? I see them advertised a lot in Diamond Select monthly for decent prices. As an aspiring comic book writer and artist, I find kolinsky is the best for the inking process and I do not cut corners on my brushes. I usually am spending $25 - $30 for my kolinsky brushes (usually series 700 Winsor & Newton #'s 2 or 3). Sorry to get off the subject, just very interested. Also would be curious to know what paint you use or would recommend. I think sharing this info would benefit anyone interested or even those that have some experience in miniature painting.

Did I mistake you for saying you need to CAST some more? Do you cast too? I've done larger sculptures and cast them with Forton MG using a poly-eurethane for the mold (spelled that wrong, I know and not sure what brand it was). I enjoyed it and still have several cast pieces I need to sand and polish and patina... I like the casting part and the creation process, but you can have the finishing duties; so monotonous and tedious... If you don't, then I just wrote a long paragraph of nonsense...

Back to the subject at hand:

I think the LOTR miniatures are pretty damn cool too. I think I have a link that has an early prototype of what they will look like and I'm not sure how legit it is... Scroll to the bottom of the page...

Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Jesse James on January 17, 2004, 05:40 PM
Eh, it's still on topic I suppose.  It's related to minis I guess right? :)

Well, I don't really use a specific brush brand myself...  I use anything from needles and toothpicks on up to expensive brushes I pick up at Hobby shops.  There's a couple shops dedicated to RPG and minis gaming in Pittsburgh that you can get supplies specifically for minis at.

I tend to use a variety of paint for minis though, as their composition lends them to using most any brand of model or hobby paint.  Testors works fine since the plastics used are generally rigid.  The other minis are cast metal, so it's real easy to find paints that work well.  Keeping them from chipping is more a problem really.  Clear coats work fine though, but in that small a detail, if you want something like a single piece to shine with the rest of the figure being flat, then even clear coating can be a chore.

As for casting, I use poly-eurithane resins, which I also employ in customizing Star Wars figures as well, but casting miniatures is a side thing.  The intricate detail makes it difficult so some complex methods are  needed to do proper casts but it's cheaper than looking for metal minis from a line that was canned back in the early 90's.  West End Games had some of the best minis out though.  There's like a dozen different stormtroopers, and a dozen different Rebel Troopers...  It's great really.  

Anyway, on the brushes again, yeah I don't use anything particular...  Whatever looks really good to me for what I need it for is more what I look at.  Often times for the details though, like I said, I go with any tool I can rig at the time like needle points and things...  No brush seems good enough for me then, not when painting eyes in that scale, haha.  :)
Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Thomas Grey on January 18, 2004, 02:22 PM
I am impressed and as an inker I have never tried the toothpick method (and it probably wouldn't do me much good...).

The casting that you do sounds great and I am very intrigued that you are so adept at it. I have probably missed a thread of where you post your customs and miniatures and I apologize for not being a more well-rounded forum reader.

To get the detail on the miniatures must be a total pain, especially if you have to apply sprues for pieces that extend out too far. The other thing is that the sanding and cleaning up must be a royal pain on something so small. I have tried my hand at jewelry and wanted to start using my tiny files and sanding tools and just flush them along with my work. I just do not have the patience.

When you customize the 3 3/4" figure, I imagine it must be in many different pieces that you join when they are set. My obstacle has always been the engineering aspect of the action figure. The joints always come out mangled or oversized or not at all. I prefer a bit of a larger scale and I don't fear the small, I just abhor the maintenance of getting them to the finished product.

It's very cool to know that you have such an interest in this and use your knowledge and creativity to make your own Star Wars stuff. I'd love to see your work and I'd be happy to post a digital image of my favorite cast sculpture. It's just not related to Star Wars.
Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Jesse James on January 18, 2004, 08:42 PM
Hey Thomas, thanks for the kind words...  I'm not nearly that impressive though, haha...  But it's nice someone thinks so anyway.   ;D

For the toothpick thing, I actually learned to improvise tools like that when I built model military figures as a child...  Tamiya and some other companies put out some really REALLY amazing World War II model kits that my brothers got into, and then I started grabbing an odd kit here and there to make figures.  They had everything from BMW German motorcycle couriers to Artillery crews you could put on a German 88 model or Flak gun or whatnot.  Really neat stuff.  

Since I couldn't afford the expensive brushes at the time, and was spending $ on various things as a kid, I improvised the tools sometimes.  Pins, toothpicks, etc...  Even cobbled good brushes from cheap testors model brushes by cutting the hairs to a point and such.

I wouldn't say I'm adept at it, but thanks. :)  I'm just self-taught because I wanted to get to know how to make my own pieces and cast entire customs instead of relying on Hasbro to make a decent figure themselves or only having one of a figure I made incase I wanted more than one.

You've missed no threads though, don't worry. :)  The few customs I have done I'm not really wanting to show right now...  Most I've scrapped and want to improve upon.  I have a lot of projects that are partly finished...  Those are mostly vehicles though.  My casting's been dead in the water for a while since I can't afford supplies at the moment and am out of most everything I need.  I have worked on scratch built vehicles and some modified vehicles but only have them partly finished...  One project's even been years in the making, and is nowhere near done, haha.  Sad...

Yeah, nailing detail right is a pain, and takes practice, but good minis painters really can do amazing work because a lot of minis are VERY intricately detailed.  The old West End Games ones were amazing, really.  If you ever get the chance to see some of them, they're worth a look.  The Lord ofo the Rings ones are superior even if you ask me.  Those are a diverse line...  There's even a vintage line, and the modern tabletop minis line that's out now.  I think they're the same scale too.  The vintage line my brother had all of, and he's a true master at minis painting.  He even was able to paint tattoos on figures in that tiny scale....  That just boggles my mind.  He has a vast array of speciality tools he uses to do his work too.  Lots of magnifying equipment, clamps, etc...  And the things look like real mini people when he's done too.  

It really does take a lot of patience and a steady hand...  It can result in some great items when you're done though.  The old SW minis are a neat side collecting thing too.

A good way to work it is to build off an existing base, if you're casting a figure.  That way you get the correct joints and things.  not possible for a 100% handmade figure, but it's good for improving figures that Hasbro's given you a start to (or any other company).  Proper casting should yield a perfect copy more or less though, so it should work out...  I've done that just practicing, simply to see if I could do working joints...  I casted a Dr. Evazan upper body perfectly...  Was pretty neat. :)  There's other problems I'll run into then later, more advanced things I guess, but for a basic run it worked and I was pretty proud at the time.  It's just so darn expensive to get into though.

You'll have to post some images of your items you've casted, I'm pretty curious to see them.  At some point maybe I'll be able to post images of something I've done, but at the moment I'm dead in the water on the issue of customizing.  Eventually though.  :)  

If the minis line pans out to be a true minis battles game I'm probably not going to bother casting any minis anymore.  May as well just buy em I figure.  I just hope the game's as good as the old WEG one was.  That thing rocked...  I hope the minis are that nice (prepainted or not) and as diverse as WEG had.

I am glad you are honest and I think maybe I just made too big a deal. I get excited when someone else shares an interest of mine and knows what I'm talking about. So, good or not so good, it's still cool that you try.

I have known people that have gotten high powered magnifying glasses and that was the method of painting so small and intricately. It's a good trick and works wonders! You just have to get used to manipulating the tiny tools...

Good stuff and if you have to shalve it for a while, that's cool. Just don't leave it there too long... Rust is always hard to get of of your brain.
Title: Re: Star Wars CMG
Post by: Jesse James on January 19, 2004, 06:58 PM
Yeah, I always dip back into things...  I try practicing any way I can to master certain techniques...  Everything from complex casting techniques (nothing's been as complex as casting minis though, and I doubt anything ever is), making true water-transfer decals that are high quality, etc...

In the meantime, just try to get what I can if I can afford it.

It's all one can do I guess.  :)
Title: Star Wars Miniatures (RPG & Minis Battles)
Post by: Jesse James on January 22, 2004, 08:55 PM
Anyone here a collector of the old West End Games Star Wars Miniatures by chance?  

I wish I could scan some of the color images from the Minis battles gaming book to show off what I'm talking about incase you're not familiar.

The Star Wars miniatures line consisted of a slew of finely sculpted miniature lead figurines from classic Star Wars and a few from the Expanded Universe.  The line was originally created for the Star Wars Role Playing Game from West End Games, but later the line was expanded to have a diverse group of military-styled figures to flesh out armies for the Star Wars Miniatures Battles Tabletop game that followed towards the demise of West End Games in the early to mid 1990's.

Here's an image of a mix of some of the figures you could get:

(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/west-end-games/images/40210.jpg)

There's a pretty nifty mix there!  :)  

And here's a link for the majority of the rest with some good closeup shots RIGHT HERE (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/west-end-games/star-wars.html).

There's some REALLY amazing sculpts, and the variety involved in the final designs of some of the characters was downright amazing.  

Rebel Troopers alone sported about a dozen different Fleet Troopers, and a dozen different Spec. Forces miniatures.  Same went for Stormtroopers who had a dozen unique miniatures which made for a really impressive set-up on any battlefield.

The scale lends itself well to HUGE dioramas as well, plus the practical use of actually playing the Miniatures Battles game was a great addition to collecting the minis.  

Unfortunately, these aren't common anymore since WEG went under...  They're some of the few non-action figure things I collect though, and am attempting to reproduce to build my armies with, without sinking the $ into the actual metal originals in grand numbers.

If you have any Star Wars minis stores (Or any for sale?  ;) ), please feel free to post and reminisce on a great past line.  

BTW, beyond the Fleet Troopers being my favorites, I love the Grand Moff Tarkin miniature, and the Wookie soldier one's pretty neat too.

By the way...

If you want to know any more about the game, and who is still playing it avidly, check out this link right here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/swmb/

It's an email list through Yahoo groups dedicated to the game, and with probably the most knowledgeable gamers on the net there willing to assist you with all your questions ranging from basic rules queries to compatible scale items in the modern Star Wars lines like Action Fleet vehicles and characters.

And for a series of links to websites dedicated to the game, check out this link here:

Some links are dead, some not, but it's worth checking on if you want to get involved, or just are curious what's out there to look at for SWMB.

Post by: JediMAC on January 27, 2004, 02:31 PM
I thought about buying the figures for these games (but not playing the game itself), just 'cause I thought they looked kinda cool and since I love miniature crap.  But then I realized I didn't have the patience or talent to actually paint them all, so I decided to pass on them.

That's why I'm mildy interested in what's coming for that other game that you and Thomas have been discussing.  If those are similar, but painted, and painted decently - then I might wind up collecting those.  Hopefully we'll get to check them out soon, so I can decide!

So how many of the WEG figures do you have Jesse?  And I assume you've painted them all (and probably re-cast them too)?
Title: Re: Star Wars Miniatures (RPG & Minis Battles)
Post by: Jesse James on January 27, 2004, 03:09 PM
I have most of them, and multiples of a lot of the military figures, but I don't have a complete set.

I actually don't know if I'll even bother getting a complete set since my main goal is tabletop gaming, and a lot of the non-military figures just wouldn't be necessary.  You can stick "heroes" in the game, but it's never been of much interest to me to do so.

I have a handful of them painted, but I stopped painting when I decided to start casting them.  I don't have a lot of them cast though because to do so requires a bit of a more complex process than casting most pieces for 3.75" Star Wars figures (due to the minis size), so I've not worked at that for quite a while now.  All in good time though.  :)

Post by: Scott on January 28, 2004, 01:05 PM
I finally saw the LOTR game you were referring to Jesse and I think SW versions of that will be a big hit, they look like Clix without the Clix, they had some at TRU of all places.  Seems like there were unpainted versions as well (sold by a different company) much like these versions...cool stuff, not my cup of 3-3/4" tea but cool stuff
Title: Re: Star Wars Miniatures (RPG & Minis Battles)
Post by: Jesse James on January 30, 2004, 04:15 PM
To me, that LOTR line should've been pimped a LOT more than the Armies of Middle Earth.  I think that company should've been given whatever contract was given to the company making AoME.

They are nice  though, if you're into diorama building or gaming.  A good dual role.

I just happened to get a bunch of new minis in today for Star Wars...  I got:

-Spacetrooper/Zero-G Stormtrooper
-Rebel Officer (Capt. Antilles uniform)
-Rebel Scout
-Rebel Fleet Tropoer (Last one I needed, the 2nd female trooper)
-Probot
-Hoth Footsoldier
-Imperial Stormtrooper (Cold Weather Gear)
-Imp. Naval Trooper with E-Web Cannon
-AT-PT
-Stormskimmer (Imp. Landspeeder thing)

All good stuff...  It cost me $38 for all of that, which is pretty cheap for this hobby since these are out of print.

I'm 99% up to snuff on minis that are army building type of minis now...  I need to now focus on getting the aliens and "hero" figures like the Han's and Luke's and such.  Also the Emperor and the two Royal Guard figures incase I ever wanna do an "Assassination" type of mission.

Cool stuff...  I had a good day today between getting the Jabba's Palace wave and a pile of new (and some rarer) minis.  :)  I'm going into the weekend on a high note!

Wizards of the Coast Announces Plans for Star Wars CMG


A spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast recently announced that WotC will release a Star Wars Collectible Miniature Game in August of 2004. The first set will include 60 prepainted miniatures of characters from the Classic Trilogy Films.

The SWCMG will be packaged and sold as both a starter set (SRP $19.99) and booster packs (SRP $9.99). The first set will include common, uncommon, rare, and unique figures. Plans for expansion sets have not been detailed, but will be created to follow the initial set. The debut starter set will include everything needed to play the game and randomly packaged figures.

The format of the game is not known at this moment, but it may not be a 'clickable' CMG like Heroclix. Images have not yet been released from WotC. JediDefender.com will update as soon as more is known and images become available.

Post by: Thomas Grey on February 8, 2004, 07:49 PM
Yeah, I do...

But it's probably going to be miniatures for a new RPG and for use congruently with existing RPGs. Pretty sure the 'clix' part will be left out. A little bummed as it looks like Wizkids/WOTC is beginning to get the hang of producing them. The new DC Clix are amazing! The detail in the sculpts and the painting are much higher on the quality scale than any 'Clix' release I have seen. Saw a unique batman with detachable wings and it is the largest clix figure yet and one of the most impressive. The dang thing takes up 2 slots in a 4-pack booster!

I'll keep looking into it and report what I find.

Post by: Brian on March 17, 2004, 10:26 AM
What do you guys think of these upcoming Star Wars miniatures, apparently for a future Wizards of the Coast game.  I've never been much for the card/role playing, etc. games, but the miniatures look kind of cool in a way.  You can check out some preview pictures (courtesy of Gaming Report.com) right here:

Star Wars Gaming Miniatures (http://www.gamingreport.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=My_eGallery&file=index&do=showgall&gid=101&offset=0&orderby=dateD)

GalacticHunter (as well as some of the presentation slides in these pictures) are reporting that some miniatures might be included with Hasbro figures as well.  All I need is to collect something else :P, but they do look kind of spiffy.  Sounds like there will be 60 Original Trilogy-based figures in the first wave, with a 60 figure Prequel-themed wave later in the year.

I've been thinking about collecting these Matt, I guess it depends how hard it is to buy them (where they are available).  If they are going to be next to impossible, I might have to hold off.  Its been hard enough finding regular Saga figures lately :P.  I'll wait and see once they get closer to release, but the Original Trilogy set is appealing to me at least.  I have no desire to actually use them for the "game", probably just for a nice little "mini" collection :)  They do look pretty nice.

I'm waiting to see what my SW Minis Battles say about scale...  If they match up well enough to the WEG miniatures, then I'd pick them up...  If they're out of whack, I'm passing unless I see some I like.  

So far, they look nicely sculpted and all but this is an instance where the vintage are more special to me, and these are just good filler for minis battles if they fit in the right scale and all.

I'm hearing one version of every character, so every soldier is in that one pose.  I love the Scout, but the stormie and Fleet Trooper are "eh".  

I'll take my dozen Fleet Troopers from WEG over that one any day.   :-\

Exclusive rare, uncommons, commons, rare or very rare.

Good Lord.   >:(  I may end up passing on these after all...  No room for that kinda headache, when I've already got the Kubrick chases to keep up with, among other things.

I sure do love the looks of these though...  Guess I'll just wait and see how things pan out when they finally hit retail.   :-\

These are much like the D&D minis that are out there.
I know from a friend who collects the D&D minis like crazy who says if you purchase a case you are about 95% to acquire a complete set, maybe minus one or two rares. That is if you want to shell out that much money at once. I think it is 20 booster packs per case? You also have to purchase the starter set that includes only figures unique to that set.

I am not sure if this is true with the Star Wars minis or not.

Depending on what my friend gets when he orders a case will help me decided if I want to get into this. Neat as they are, it is alot of money.

I collected MageKnight from Wizkids for a while, and they were an absolute enormous pain in the ass to collect. I was at the point of buying 2-3 cases (12 booster boxes) per series, and still not finishing a set. Plus, if anyone hates exclusives, then avoid these like the plague.

I wish I wasn't going senile, otherwise I'd link to the other thread this was talked about to give credit where credit is due.

These are on pre-order at iconusa (http://www.iconusa4.com/online/Star_Wars_Miniatures-index.htm). The booster packs are expected to retail for $10 and are on pre-order for a lot less than what amazon lists them.

The site states there are 60 miniatures --super-rare, rare, uncommon, and common. The super-rare aren't included in the starter set, which comes with 16 random figures, a die, book, and blah, blah, blah.

According to someone in the other thread, if the pattern for these rpg continue, the super-rares will be just variations of the main characters. I don't know if he means a different pose or a different costume.

When I first saw the pictures, I was impressed with the human faces and proportions. They're a lot more cleaner and detailed than the Heroclix. According to someone in that other thread, former Galoob sculptors worked on these.

edit: Crap. I just noticed the date on that gaming site someone posted above. Too recent to dismiss. Until iconusa confirms or makes corrections, take the info I gleaned off their site with a grain of salt.

Post by: Jesse James on March 30, 2004, 03:29 AM
I'm holding off till I see their scale in comparison to the original West End Games miniatures before I commit to picking these up.  IF they're compatible in size, I'll ponder getting them just to flush out more characters on the gaming table.  

Beyond this though, the game just isn't that impressive...  Star Wars minis battles was a really great game, as is the Lord of the Rings Tabletop Miniatures Battles game out there.  This isn't shaping up to mimic that too much...  That's a shame, given what the potential was.  This game seems a fair bit more simplistic though, so perhaps a larger crowd will gather to it.  

We'll see how these pan out though...  SW minis have been something sorely missing in the RPG world.

Cool...

(http://www.starwars.com/gaming/other/tcg/img/20040817_bg.jpg)

I picked up the Stormtrooper miniature at Comic Con (obviously) to get my collection off to a start.  Checked out the rest of the line, and they definitely looked pretty cool.  We've got some pix (http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Conventions/San_Diego_Comic_Con_2004/Wizards_of_the_Coast) in our Comic Con coverage, if you're interested...

But Adam's informed me that I'm already a couple behind, as there's also been a Mon Cal figure (exclusive to Origins) and a Tusken Raider that was released as a promo sample to Comic shops as well...  Oy!  Something tells me this line will be giving me a big headache...   :P

Should be fun though.  So, who else is in?!?

I asked exactly that to their rep that was handing the Stormies out at Comic Con, and he said they'd definitely be separate.  There will be some "OT EU" stuff mixed together, it sounds (and looks) like, but the Prequel figures should be completely separate, fortunately.

Just got it this past weekend, and I have to say it's the best mini promo to date.

This line looks very promising.  The paint job on this thing is superb.  Jesse and I were checking it out Thurs.  Even the silver "eyes" have a silver paint, black in the center and for as tiny is this piece is...WOW.

The cape has a crisscross burplap looking paint job.  It's relly good stuff.

Post by: JediMAC on September 3, 2004, 04:07 PM
I saw something yesterday somewhere that said today's the official street date for the first of the booster packs, or whatever they are.  I still have no real idea how this stuff works...   :P

Remind me where the hell they're gonna sell these?  Gaming stores?  Regular retail?  What?  I'm a little out of the loop still, and need to catch up and get a game plan in order here, real quick!

I have been farting around with putting together a checklist of all the figures that have been shown so far, most/all of which I got to see down at SDCC.  So here's what I've got so far.  Just want to put it into the sequential order or the movies, or something more fun like that...

Figures out now:
Tusken Raider - Comic Shop Promo?
Mon Calamari Mercenary - Origins
Stormtrooper (holding rifle) - SDCC
Wookiee Warrior - Gen Con

Upcoming - in no particular order (released today?):

Large figures:
Dewback w/ Sandtrooper
Probot
Wampa
Jabba the Hutt w/ Salacious Crumb

Figures:
Momaw Nadon (Ithorian)
Princess Leia (ANH, blaster pointed up)
Darth Vader (choking hand position)
Bothan?
Stormtrooper (pointing blaster)
Stormtrooper (pointing cannon)
Stormtrooper (2 other versions, at least)
Tessek (Squidhead)
IG-88
Dengar
Bossk
Boba Fett (with flaming jetpack)
Ewok/Wickett?
Jawa (crouching)
Slave Leia
AT-ST Driver
Emperor's Royal Guard
Grand Moff Tarkin
Mara Jade (shooting)
Mara Jade (standing)?
Luke Skywalker (ANH, pointing blaster)
Han Solo (ANH, pointing blaster)
Hoth Rebel Soldier (standing)
Hoth Rebel Soldier (crouching)
Lando Calrissian (ESB)
Endor Rebel Soldier
Rebel Fleet Trooper (standing )
Rebel Fleet Trooper (slightly crouching)
Rebel Fleet Trooper (kneeling)
Hoth Rebel Commander
Duros Mercenary
R2-D2
C-3PO (waving)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (ANH)
Jedi Luke
Darth Vader Sith Lord (swinging saber)
Rebel X-Wing Pilot (gun pointing)
Emperor Palpatine (with lightning)
Chewbacca
Snowtrooper (two?)
Gamorrean Guard (swinging axe)
Bespin Security Guard
Imperial Officer (running)
Biker Scout (shooting backwards)
Green Twilek female (kicking)
Twilek male (short sleeved)
4-LOM

That's 57 total figures right there that I know of, but they've been advertising the first round as 60 total.  So I'm not sure if that means there's some kind of secret chase figure available in each of the 3 booster sets, or what.

EDIT:  Looks like we need to add in the Leia and Scouttrooper on Speeder Bikes, as well as Greedo.  Looks like a 6th Stormtrooper has replaced the standing Mara Jade as well.  Weird...

So, who's in on this line?  Here the official WOTC link (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=swminis) for them.  Need to get a trading network going for these little suckers it sounds like!  Chime in if you're interested!   :-*

Post by: JediMAC on September 6, 2004, 03:23 AM
Holy ****.  Just checked the individual figure prices for these things on eBay...  :o Way more expensive than I anticipated!  We're talking $25+ for each of the Very rares, $15+ for the rares (which are all the main characters), etc.  Looks like cases might be the best way to go here.  This is gonna be painful...   :'(

Just posted a main page blurb on the line as well (thanks Adam).  WOTC has put up a great checklist of all 60 of the Rebel Storm figures, in both text (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=swminis/article/setlista) and visual (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=swminis/article/setlistagallery) formats.  Here's a copy of the text version, so you can see the complete checklist, and how tough each respective figure will be to get:

Faction/Number/Name/Rarity

Rebel   
  1.  Bothan Spy - Uncommon
  2.  C-3P0 - Rare
  3.  Chewbacca - Rare
  4.  Commando on Speeder Bike - Very Rare
  5.  Elite Hoth Trooper - Uncommon
  6.  Elite Rebel Trooper - Common
  7.  Han Solo - Rare
  8.  Hoth Trooper - Common
  9.  Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight - Very Rare
10.  Luke Skywalker, Rebel - Rare (in Starter set)
11.  Obi-Wan Kenobi - Very Rare
12.  Princess Leia, Captive - Very Rare
13.  Princess Leia, Senator - Rare
14.  R2-D2 - Rare
15.  Rebel Commando - Uncommon
16.  Rebel Officer - Uncommon
17.  Rebel Pilot - Common
18.  Rebel Trooper - Common
19.  Rebel Trooper - Common
20.  Wookiee Soldier - Common
   
Imperial   
21.  Darth Vader, Dark Jedi - Rare (in Starter set)
22.  Darth Vader, Sith Lord - Very Rare
23.  Elite Snowtrooper - Uncommon
24.  Elite Stormtrooper - Uncommon
25.  Emperor Palpatine - Very Rare
26.  General Veers - Rare
27.  Grand Moff Tarkin - Rare
28.  Heavy Stormtrooper - Uncommon
29.  Imperial Officer - Uncommon
30.  Mara Jade, Emperor’s Hand - Rare
31.  Probe Droid - Very Rare
32.  Royal Guard - Uncommon
33.  Scout Trooper - Uncommon
34.  Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike - Very Rare
35.  Snowtrooper - Common
36.  Stormtrooper - Common
37.  Stormtrooper - Common
38.  Stormtrooper - Common
39.  Stormtrooper Officer - Uncommon
40.  Sandtrooper on Dewback - Very Rare
   
Fringe   
41.  Bespin Guard - Common
42.  Boba Fett - Very Rare
43.  Dengar - Rare
44.  Duros Mercenary - Uncommon
45.  Ewok - Common
46.  4-LOM - Rare
47.  Gamorrean Guard - Uncommon
48.  IG-88 - Rare
49.  Ithorian Scout - Uncommon
50.  Jabba the Hutt - Very Rare
51.  Jawa - Common
52.  Lando Calrissian - Rare
53.  Mon Calamari Mercenary - Common
54.  Quarren Assassin - Uncommon
55.  Greedo - Rare
56.  Bossk - Rare
57.  Tusken Raider - Common
58.  Twi'lek Bodyguard - Uncommon
59.  Twi'lek Scoundrel - Common
60.  Wampa - Very Rare

Wanted to add this site (http://swminisinfoworld.com/index.htm) in here for reference as well.  Seems pretty helpful.  After a little bit of searching around the net, it looks like the average prices for these figures will break down roughly as follows (with the # of figures per "rarity level"):

16 Common: $.65
16 Uncommon: $1-2
16 Rare: $8-10
12 Very Rare: $20-30

Can't say I'm real thrilled to see some EU figures already filtering into the mix here.  If they want to do EU, I think they should just do it all together, in a separate EU collection.  Looks like we've got at least 5 or 6 of them already: Mara Jade (x2?), Wookiee Soldier, Twilek female, Twilek male, Bothan Spy.  I guess I don't really mind Mara, the Wookiee, and the Bothan that much, but the two Twileks are pretty lame choices...

Boy, I think this is gonna make Kubrick collecting look easy!   :-\

The rares and very rares might be going for quite a bit now on ebay but that's because they just hit and impatient people are driving up the prices. Give it a few more weeks and you should start seeing them drop in price, hopefully.

It's hard to believe that they are even fetching that much. Rares for nearly the cost of a booster pack? Very rares for almost 2-3 times the cost of a booster pack? Aren't you quaranteed 1 rare or very rare in each booster? That shouldn't make any particular figure extremely HTF.

I'd give it a month and wouldn't be surprised to see that most, if not all, prices on ebay have dropped to half or more of what they're going for now.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: jokabofe on September 6, 2004, 01:22 PM
Aren't you quaranteed 1 rare or very rare in each booster?

i don't think so. the breakdown looks like this:

Quote
Starter Sets give you everything you need to play fast, challenging skirmish battles. You get 8 random and 2 exclusive miniatures, a stat card for each miniature, a fold-out battle grid, 8 terrain tiles, a 20-sided die (d20), and the skirmish rulebook.

Each Star Wars Miniature Booster Pack includes 7 random miniatures and their stat cards. Use them to build bigger and better squads, or add them to you Star Wars roleplaying sessions.

so it looks like in the starter sets (which retail around $20 or so, i think) you will be getting 2 "exclusives" - which means something besides commons - could be uncommons, rares, or very rares. and in the booster packs, you will pretty much be getting mostly commons.

the breakdown will most likely be something like this.... going with the 7 minis per pack, these will most likely be your odds (these are not stated by wotc or anywhere that i could find them online... i'm just making a semi-educated guess here):

common 6:1 (i.e. 6 commons:1 box)
rare 1:3
uncommon 1:10
very rare 1:25

think of the rare/uncommon/very rare like insert cards from your sports card days. you're not guaranteed to get any set amount in a pack, but your odds will be so-so for finding them. and certain insert sets were harder to find than others, making them worth more on the secondary market.

as for prices dropping? i'm not sure how much they will be going down, once these hit big. some of the marvel and dc heroclix still command some decent money on ebay, even though those things are everywhere. with the popularity star wars has, and the insanity of some of the fans, i would guess that the prices on some of the harder to find pieces - most of which are the characters that eveyybody wants - won't be going down too much any time soon.

Where ya seein two Mara Jades? I think there's only one...

I'm pretty sure I saw two of her at Comic Con, and in the Comic Con pix, as well as on a couple early checklists.  But now it appears that there's only the one "fighting" one.  I'll see if I can figure out what's happened.

SRLPs are $20 for the Starter Set, and $13 for the Boosters.  But buying by the case (12 boosters in a case) seems to be much cheaper - low $90's.  A little searching around the net, and you can find Starters for around $15 most places, and Boosters for about $9-10.  I'll shoot you guys some links for some good e-tailers on these...

The stats I've seen on the breakdowns for the sets so far is this:

Starter set - 2 exclusives (Vader & Luke) plus 8 randoms, made up of 6 commons and 2 uncommons.

Booster set - 7 figures, made up of 4 common, 2 uncommon, and 1 rare or very rare.

That's what I've seen listed at a couple places anyway.  Not sure just how accurate that is.  My question, if those are true, is - is there any reason to buy more than just the 1 Starter set?  Get your exclusive Vader and Luke (which I think is assured in each set), and then move back over to the Boosters...?  Doesn't seem to be the potential of any rare or super rares in the Starter sets from what I can tell...

I have a starter set and 2 boosters ordered just to see whats up.

I grabbed them from Essential comics in PA, they post at www.pswcs.com a lot, so I figured I'd give them some business.

I know some guys have pulled the Fett, Wampa, a Vader, Probe droid, speeders, etc. from the cases they got in so far-curious to see what I get as far as the extra rares go.  we'll find out this week.

I have a Sept. 25th meeting planned bunch of the guys coming over that day.  In the gameroom I'll have Battlefront on the widescreen and the minis game probably going on in the background.

Should be a fun day!

Yeah, I'm only buying one starter set.  After I get the 2 boosters and see what I get in them, it will determine how many more boosters I get.  If I have nearly every sommon, then it wouldn;t make sense for tme to keep getting boosters, but if I still need a bunch of commons, then I'll probably grab abother booster set or two.

I kinda view it like the CCG cards, I kept buying the packs until I had all the common/uncommons, then just went and bought the HTF ones individually.

The stats I've seen on the breakdowns for the sets so far is this:

Starter set - 2 exclusives (Vader & Luke) plus 8 randoms, made up of 6 commons and 2 uncommons.

Booster set - 7 figures, made up of 4 common, 2 uncommon, and 1 rare or very rare.

That is exactly what I've been reading too at other message boards from people who have busted several cases of these already.

Quote
My question, if those are true, is - is there any reason to buy more than just the 1 Starter set?  Get your exclusive Vader and Luke (which I think is assured in each set), and then move back over to the Boosters...?  Doesn't seem to be the potential of any rare or super rares in the Starter sets from what I can tell...

I don't think there is any reason at all to buy more than one starter set, unless you want an extra set of playing tiles or something. Sounds like the best way to go is 1 starter set and then lots of booster packs and a good trading network, which I hope we can get one going here. If I can find them in stores around here, I plan on buying some later this week.

Regarding the prices on ebay, like everything else when it's first released, such as sports cards, they always go for insane prices right away because you have all those impatient people who can't wait and bid these things up. Give it a month and let's see if Fett is still going for $40 or $50+. While I agree the very rare figs will probably still fetch a fair amount (like double digits), with certain figs like a Fett getting more, I don't see them going for anywhere what they do now.

In the coming weeks, I could see ebay being flooded with these. Now that people are seeing the prices, you're going to have people buying up cases for the sole reason of listing all the rare and very rare figs on ebay, hoping to turn a profit on them. Next thing you know, there will be 100s of each fig there. Soon supply will catch up with demand like with every other new product when it first hits.

Where ya seein two Mara Jades? I think there's only one...

Maybe it was partly due to this shot (http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Conventions/San_Diego_Comic_Con_2004/Wizards_of_the_Coast&image=DSC00017.jpg&img=&tt=), where the Twilek Mercenary's head gets chopped off.  The body/cape, etc. looks like her.  But I could've sworn I saw her name listed twice on one of the earlier lists somewhere.  But I think it's a moot point, as it looks like there's definitely only the one of her coming now.

And I'm sure you're right on those insane eBay prices Jim, but I think those original four prices I listed will wind up being pretty close, since that's what several of the gaming websites are selling them for individually, and I'd think they've got enough experience to know what they're doing, and at what price points these various categories of figures usually wind up selling at.

But yeah, I agree with the strategy here:  Starter set, ****load of Boosters (probably a case, at least), and a lot of trading!   8)

Ready, set, go!

Another question I have, that I haven't found any answers for anywhere, is are the 3 separate Booster set packaging designs at all indicative of what figures are inside of each of them?  There's the Han Solo (Rebels?), Stormtrooper (Empire?), and Boba Fett (Fringe?).  Do you only get the particular "figure faction" with each respective box, or are they all just mixed in together, in all 3?  If they're actually segregated, then is there any way of knowing how many of each you'd get in a case?  Like 4 of each?  I think that's the last thing I really need to figure out at this point, before I make my move...  Here's the 3 packages I'm talking about:

judging from the packouts on the marvel and dc clix - no, it doesn't matter which box graphic you choose. you're gonna get the same crap no matter what  :D
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: chuckles on September 6, 2004, 04:03 PM
Jokabofe is right. From what I've been reading, the graphics on the box mean nothing as far as what the contents are. All booster packs contain the same random mix from the pool of 58 figures, as opposed to each of the respected factions.

Post by: JediMAC on September 6, 2004, 04:24 PM
Cool.  Thanks guys.  I think I'm ready to Rock N Roll now...

Just ordered one case of Boosters, and one Starter set (from the first link below), which came out to a total of $115.40.  We'll see how I do with that.  So here's some of the better deals, and a couple of the more helpful sites that I've come across so far for these:

Best deal on Starter set and Booster case (http://www.gameoutfitter.com/Browse_dept_items.asp/categ_id/48/parent_ids/0,1/Name/Star_Wars_Miniatures)

Cheap sets, and individual figures or groups of figures (http://www.usacomicbooks.com/starwarscmg.html)

What kinda stinks though, is that with 12 Booster sets and a Starter I'll hopefully be getting 12 different rares and very rares, plus the Luke and Vader, which would mean I'm still 14 figures short (at best) altogether in those two areas combined.  I'm almost thinking it's a better idea to just order 2 Booster cases right now, but I don't really want to be laying down that kinda cash on these things just yet...   :-\

Post by: JediMAC on September 6, 2004, 04:29 PM
One other thing, and perhaps you guys are already aware of this, but supposedly if you're buying individual boosters from a store (in person), you can feel the weight differences in the boxes, and likely be able to determine which of them has one of the larger (Wampa, Jabba, etc.) Very Rare figures...   ;)
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: chuckles on September 6, 2004, 04:35 PM
Yep, I've already read about that too. Doesn't concern me too much for when I pick some up at a store, as I want them all anyway. Makes you wonder if cherry pickers will go after all the heavy ones, or leave all the heavy ones behind trying to get a Fett instead.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)

Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: SilverSpyder on September 6, 2004, 05:00 PM
There is not a rare or very rare in each booster box.  The first 2 I bought had only commons and uncommons.  After that I went to another store and bought 2 boxes that seemed heavier and got a Wampa and Scout on Speederbike.  So, finding the larger figures would be easy by judging the weight.  The smaller very rares like Fett wont be found that easily and you will just have to be lucky.

Sounds like you might have had some real bad luck with yours. Because everything I've been reading about them, which includes a lot of people posting what their booster breakdown was, shows that they've been getting either 1 rare or very rare in every booster box. 

I'm sure some mistakes will be made at the packing plant, making it possible that some slipped thru with an extra common or uncommon instead of the R or VR fig, but I'm thinking the norm is one R or VR fig per box.

Really?!  If that's the case, I'm gonna be way pissed off.  That's pretty much the only reason I ordered a full case.  I've read in a couple places that each Booster set was supposed to have one Rare or Very Rare figure in it...

This better not turn into an even worse collecting headache than I'm already anticipating...  Add to that the GG Bust-ups that are coming, with the Kubricks I'm already into.  Oy.   :'(

Ah, I see Jim already beat me to that...

Anyway, I'm curious who here is actually intending on playing the game that goes with these figures as well, or if we're all just going to be collecting the figures themselves...

I'm just in for the figures, personally.  I'll go for the cards too, but not to use in playing the game, but just to have a set of sketch cards.

I don't mind the game at all, just don't have the time and energy to devote to getting into something like that.  Never really been much of a gamer myself...

I think you should be safe. I've seen many case breakdowns posted and everyone of them produced 4 VR and 8 R figs, with no dups among the hard to find ones in a given case. Seems distribution of the figs is pretty good overall.

Thankfully, if I get into these as a replacement for the WEG minis to play Tabletop miniatures Battles, the troops aren't overly rare... 

Kinda sucks really though.  I guess it's all just a tool for sales, but in the end I'm not overly fond of this game's rules, but the minis will make a nice way to supplement the ORIGINAL Star Wars Miniatures Battles game at least.  Some of the "rares" though would make nice minis for officers and whatnot.  Sorely needed.

I'll be anxious to see what else they make for the line as far as Classic figures goes...  If they try catering to the old Minis Battles crowd with excessive #'s of troops like it seems they may be aiming for, and they diversify the troops down the road, or if they'll just focus towards the new game's set of rules.   :-\  I hope not the latter for multiple reasons.

i was wondering if anybody is gonna be "army building" with these... it looks like that's kinda what they were made for. i wouldn't mind getting my hands on several (hundred) stormtroopers. i can never get enough troops.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on September 7, 2004, 11:21 PM
Well, with the plethora of army builders we'll all be winding up with from the booster packs, I guess it's inevitable.  I don't mind a handful of 6-8 of each army builder I guess, but if I can trade those commons for something of the more rare/very rare variety, I definitely wouldn't hesitate.  Having a complete set is definitely more of a priority than having big armies to me.  At least for now...

Got my fourth and final promo piece today - the Tusken Raider.  Thanks A.!  Real nice looking figure.  Looks like all four of the promos are identical to the regular releases that are now available, with the exception of the text written on the underneath side of their respective bases - "Gen Con Promo...", etc.

So that's 4 down, and 56 to go.  Anxiously awaiting my case soon so I can really dive into the fun here.  I got a confirmation e-mail that it shipped today!  Hopefully it's here by the end of this week (coming from MN).  I'm hoping to wander down to a couple local "collectibles" and gaming stores just down the street from my office tomorrow (despite the 105 degree heat).  I'd like to see if I can really feel this "weight" difference for the Very Rares.

So has anyone figured out other outlets to get these things from?

LMK what luck you have finding things locally, Matt. I'm not ready to commit to ordering cases on these and could use some advice. I talked with my buddy who suggested a couple places, one up by you being Hobby People.

Post by: JediMAC on September 8, 2004, 01:42 PM
I'm reading things about there being two "waves" of Rebel Storm, with the second due out later this month...  Anyone else heard anything like this?  Does that mean that half the rares/very rares might not even be shipping in the initial sets, or is everything all mixed together, but they're just releasing the sets at two separate times, only.

Weird.  Some of the fellas over in the WOTC forums are starting to create somewhat of a panic with this news.  Sounds like stuff is selling out really fast, all over the place, so people can't get their mitts on these figures, and are now having to wait for this supposed "wave 2"...

Anyone get their sets here yet?  When you do, let us know what kinda breakdowns your finding!  Hopefully tomorrow or Friday for mine...   :)

Here's a couple more gaming e-tailers that people in the WOTC boards are suggesting, though with a quick glance, they're both sold out and are only taking pre-orders for September 30 (wave 2?), and are more expensive than the links I put up the other day.

You know, I might just grab a pack of these when I buy my weekly comics this week. 

I'd really like Han and Chewie, but since they are rare and knowing my luck with HeroClix (trying to get a GL), I'll probably end up with a box of Bothan Spy, Hoth Trooper, Rebel Commando, and Rebel Pilot. >:(

Maybe I should just save myself the aggrivation and pass...  :-\

I made the local rounds at lunch to see who might be carrying these:  Borders bookstore - none, but they've got other HeroClix figures (behind the counter), so they may be a possibility in the future.  Two local Comic/Collectible/Gaming stores - one said they won't be carrying them, and the other is carrying them but sold most everything, and only had two Booster packs left for $13 each.  I held them to compare the weight, and it seemed like one did feel a little bit heavier than the other, but I ain't spending $13 on these things.  I much prefer the $7-8 prices online.  Checked Tower Records too, since they've got this type of stuff, but to no avail...

Not a bad mix there Bob, with only 2 dups.  2 VRs out of 3 sets is pretty awesome too!  Did the rest of your figures break down to 4 Commons and 2 Uncommons per?  Looks like it, since I think these are the 6 uncommons in there:

1 heavy stormtrooper
1 scout trooper
1 duros merc
1 ithorian scout
1 bothan spy
1 imperial officer

Bummer you got a jacked force pike and no VR Adam, plus 2 of the "EU" figures to boot.

Hopefully I'll have some breakdowns to share tomorrow as well...

Is anyone here going to be army building with these (like Dave mentioned earlier)?  I ask, 'cause I'd have no qualms trading some of my commons and/or uncommons for a rare or VR figure if someone was interested.

OK,

So, tonight, I went shopping at the Mall with the Mrs., and I decided to pick up a box at the gaming store ($12) to check them out.   :-[

Here's what I got:

Common figures (4):
  8  Hoth Trooper
38  Stormtrooper
51  Jawa
59  Twi'lek Scoundrel

Uncommon figures (2):
16  Rebel Officer
32  Royal Guard - also has bent force pike  :(

Very Rare figures (1):
31  Probe Droid

Booyah!  Pulled a Very Rare out of the first box I bought!

I didn't really think that I could tell the difference in weight when I picked out the box, but I did choose carefully and got myself a nice Very Rare, so maybe there is something to it after all?

Post by: JediMAC on September 8, 2004, 10:43 PM
Nice pull Jeff!  But since you didn't get a Han or Chewie, I guess you're just gonna have to keep on goin'...   ;)

Bummer to hear of another jacked up force pike on the Royal Guard though.  Man, sounds like that might be an across the board kinda issue unfortunately.  On a cool figure too.   :-\

I've been reading more and more case breakdowns from around the net, and it really looks like if you get a factory sealed case of 12 Booster packs, that you're gonna wind up with 4 VRs.  Haven't seen an example yet that differs from that.

So I'm almost wondering if it's a better bet if you're thinking about ordering as many as 12 Boosters at once, just to ask for them to be all loose and random, and not from the same case?  Might have some better luck, assuming the dealers aren't unscrupulous and weighing the sets to find the VRs to pull out and sell separately...
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: jokabofe on September 8, 2004, 10:46 PM

Well... I am impressed with them so far.

The ones I've got have some top notch paint jobs, unlike some of the other reports I've read.  I might just have to buy a few more boxes and see if my luck holds out.  Maybe, if I pull a few more VRs, I can trade them for the Han/Chewie that I want :)

I've only got the 4 Promo figures so far, and the paint jobs vary:  The Tusken and Mon Cal are VERY nicely painted.  Surprisingly excellent considering they're on such small pieces.  The Stormtroopers are fairly good, though some of the black lines aren't quite perfect.  My Wookiee Soldier seems a little dark though, to the point where you can't make out his dual bandoliers too well, but that's it.  The other pictures I've seen though all looked top notch as far as the paint quality.  That's a big reason I decided to delve into this line...

My staff on the Ithorian scout is also severely bent.  Probably gonna be a common problem.  I know it's like that even with the petwer line -most of the lightsabers ship bent or even broken.  Hard to keep somehting so thin in perfect shape.

I saw pics of the wookie soldier with some kind of stick/spear in his right hand, mine doensn't have it?  anyone else or am I just losing it?

Where'd you see the pix Bob?  Don't recall what mine looks like now, but I'll check it out again when I get home.  Of course, this is what WOTC suggests it should look like:

(http://www.wizards.com/swminis/images/gallery/20_WookieeSoldier.jpg)

Just heard from Jared, and he caved and bought a couple Boosters just now.  Said his Royal Guard's staff is all jacked up too, so that's 0 for 3 on that one now...   :-\

Didn't have my sets waiting at home for me when I got home last night, so I decided to finally punch in the UPS tracking number, to see where things stood.  Unfortunately, they have it listed as arriving on freakin' Monday.  That's one week since they said it shipped.  That blows.  Oh well, guess that's the price I pay for getting the cheapest deal anywhere on these things...

Hey, you're two short there pal, including one rare.  Fix it!   :-*

So, these are the rares/very rares you wound up with:

14  R2-D2
34  Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike
56  Bossk
??

So, whaddaya think of 'em?  How do feel about your pulls?

Damn auditors.  ::)

Left my extra R2 and RFT off the list. My Excel skills are rusty I guess.

I feel fine about my figures, if that's what you mean by "pulls." I don't speach your strange nerd tongue.  ;) Or I refuse to. Seriously, they are pretty neat little things, and most of the paint jobs are pretty good. The only ones that are sketchy of mine are the Ewok and the Rebel Commando. My second Royal Guard's pike is much more, er, erect than the other, but still bendy. Same story with the Ithorian's weapon.

My case of boosters and starter kit should be here tomorrow or Monday. We need to do some serious trading.

Well, I just picked up my first boxes of these. Got a starter set and just one booster, for now. Here's what I got:

Starter set
#21 Darth Vader - Dark Jedi - R
#10 Luke Skywalker - Rebel - R
#38 Stormtrooper - C
#35 Snowtrooper - C
#23 Elite Snowtrooper - U
#8 Hoth Trooper - C
#16 Rebel Officer - U
#6 Elite Rebel Trooper - C
#41 Bespin Guard - C
#51 Jawa - C

Booster pack
#38 Stormtrooper - C
#8 Hoth Trooper - C
#33 Scout Trooper - U
#20 Wookie Soldier - C (no spear on mine either)
#57 Tusken Raider - C
#16 Rebel Officer - U
and the biggie...
#34 Scout Trooper on speeder bike - VR


Not too bad I guess, except for already having 3 dups out of just buying 2 boxes. But I guess the VR fig makes up for that. Think I'll have to order me a case of the boosters now too.

Do it Jim!  Bummer 'bout the dupes there, but the best thing to try and do, is find someone who's actually PLAYING this game, 'cause they WANT to army build with the commons and uncommons, and will likely trade their extra rares and VRs for them.

But we'll make sure we all take care of eachother in here first though!   ;)  Order quick though, since Jared and I are getting our cases real soon, and are gonna want to start wheeling and dealing right away!

BTW, the case that I ordered came from Outfitters, which is shipping out of Minnesota...  Not sure if they've actually got a retail place set up out there somewhere, but it may be worth finding out, since their Booster cases were only $92.50 (second cheapest around, but cheapest anywhere with shipping factored in).  I'll see if I can dig up their link for you to check an address on...  Back in a flash!

Not really that close to me. Probably about 3+ hrs away.

I did go ahead and ordered a case from one of the other links you had listed in this thread. Price, with shipping, came to about $9 a pack. Not too bad considering I just spent about $13.85 on the 1 booster I bought. If they ship it out on Monday, I should have it by mid to end of next week.

Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on September 11, 2004, 02:20 AM
Well, with the combination of the delay in my case arriving, everyone getting to "play" with the minis so far except for me, and the fact that a gaming store on the way home had a massive ****load of Booster packs for only $10.99, I finally bit the proverbial bullet, and bought 3 of them (one Han, Stormie, and Fett box).  If they were the full $13 price though, I would've definitely passed...

So the lady was actually cool enough to bring all the sets to the counter, about 16 of them, to let me feel/weigh them all.  So guess what?  I couldn't tell hardly a damned bit of difference between them...   :-\

So I skip (yes, skip - the happy skip of owning new Star Wars stuff) back to my car and start opening.  Hell if I'm waiting 'til I get home.  Pop the bottom of the first pack open, and the first figure I see and pull out is a freaking Wampa!  Score!  One for freakin' one.  I'm totally digging this new hobby of mine!  As I'm mentally preparing myself for the rest of the more common pack, I then pull a Royal Guard - with a PERFECT pike.  Probably my most wanted Uncommon, so I'm absolutely stoked and still floating on cloud 9.  I'm having visions of the 3 most perfect Booster packs in the history of Booster packs floating around in my head at this point...

I polish out the rest of the first set with the standard Stormie and RFT stuff, but end on a sour note with the Tusken I already had a promo of, and even worse - that lameass Twilek pole vaulting chick.  That blows.  I don't like any of the EU crap, and I consider the two Twileks to be the absolute worst of the bunch.

Then ecstasy quickly turns to agony...  Move on into pack #2, and I get a Stormie that I already had a promo of.  Then I get that other ****nob Twilek "Scoundrel" crap.  Plus a duplicate of the Twilek Pole Vaulter as well!  And a couple commons later, I wind up with a Leia with a blaster folded at a right angle.  Not to mention I'd already had her set up in another trade, so she was one of only two rares that I didn't even need.

Third pack yields the Mon Cal I already had as a promo, plus 3 more duplicates of the Stormie from the first pack and Ewok and Hoth Rebel from the second pack, and to top it off, I pull the only EU rare - Mara Jade.   ::)  Phhhtpth.   >:(  Started on on such a high note, and ended with an absolutely dismal, disappointing fizzle.  So essentially, the equivalent of one of my three Boosters was a total and complete waste, since I now have 7 freaking duplicates (3 from prior Promo figures), plus 4 damned EU figures to add insult to injury...  Didn't get the only common I really wanted - the Jawa.  Only got 1 of 5 Uncommons I really wanted (missed the Ithorian, Gamorrean, Tessek & Scouttrooper).  Got doubles of the WORST Uncommon, and got got another UC that was the only UC I already had.   :'(  Oh well.  Hopefully the case on Monday yields better results, but now that I know how much God hates me, I'm not expecting too much...

Not really worried though.  I knew this was a possibility.  Just didn't think it would happen so freakin' soon!  Just real crappy luck on my first few packs here.  I'll bounce back, I'm sure! 

Booster pack #1:
Wampa  ;D
Royal Guard  8)
Rebel Pilot
Elite RFT #6
Stormie #36
Tusken Raider  :-\
Pole vaulting Twilek  ::)

Booster pack #2:

haha, you guys are nuts. :)

So does anyone think they'll play the OLD SW Minis game with these?  It's more involved, but visually it's like combining Chess (without the simpler rules), with diorama building...

If I get into these, my goal's to have a set of individuals and army build galore with any and all troopers, officers, etc...  Customizing too.

I've only got the two promos I've been given so far though.  :-X

Post by: JediMAC on September 11, 2004, 03:36 AM
I'm not sure if anyone here is actually going to be gaming with these Jess...  Which is perhaps why this thread was moved into this Other Collectibles section, rather than staying in the CCG forum...   :-\

And if/when you get into this line, you know where to find me if you ever want to do some army building!  I'd be happy to lose some grunts for a rare or two of yours from time to time...   ;)

Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: jokabofe on September 11, 2004, 06:24 PM
Okay, so I caved and bought 3 packs of these today at the mall, along with the starter set...  ::)

and i got: mostly crap... blah blah blah (same story as everyone else so I'll skip the minute details) - 1 Very Rare (9 Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight with exclusive curved lightsaber blade) and 2 Rare (7  Han Solo, and 27 Grand Moff Tarkin).

But my big question is this: do you think that all of the assortments will be the same? In other words, since the cards that these guys come with are sealed in plastic, do you think that's like a "pack" of figures? That somewhere there are X amount of boxes with the exact same configuration? It just struck me as odd that the cards would be sealed. I could understand in they sealed the cards in with the figures themselves, but they don't.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: chuckles on September 11, 2004, 06:49 PM
I kind of wondered that about the separately packed cards as well. My theory is, that if these are all hand painted, then certainly they could be hand packed into the box randomly, with the matching cards and then they just run those thru a machine that seals the cards up and throw them in the box with the minis. I've been reading that distribution on these has been pretty good, which I wouldn't think would be the case if you opened up a booster pack and got the exact same 7 minis as another booster pack that you've opened before.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: jokabofe on September 11, 2004, 07:06 PM
While I do see your point, I think the amount of man hours it would take to actually pack 7 "random" figures in a box and then take the 7 corresponding cards and shrink wrap them would not be feasible. It would be way easier to pack the cards and figures by machine. Then again, while I was in the store today, I was checking out the other games/figures (HeroClix, MageKnight, etc.) and they all seemed to be a bit cheaper than these Star Wars ones. Maybe that's why they are more expensive?

Got 2 more boosters todya, out of 5 boosters now I have:

1 extra rare Emperor
1 extra rare Stormtrooper on Dewback
1 extra rare Probe droid
1 rare Lando
1 rare Bossk

not too shabby.  The uncommons and commons were split up pretty good, have a large amount of those with fairly few doubles.

Hmmmm, I may break down and buy a few more boosters, if I get any doubles on the rares, try and trade them for others I need, then maybe break down and try and buy some individually if I can luck out and get some rares under $10ea.

My thoughts are once you get a few boosters you'll just start getting the same crap over and over.


Even at only 60 characters, this could get ugly...fast. and they have another clone set coming out shortly after. Sheesh.

Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: jokabofe on September 11, 2004, 08:33 PM
So how do you guys plan on displaying these? I'm trying to come up with a way to display all 60 in a small area (not that I have all 60 or anything  :-\ )... shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm thinking about building a small stair-like display case out of foam core board and painting it black, similar to the ones I built for my stormtroopers before my army got out of hand.

Anybody else with ideas?

Got 2 more boosters todya, out of 5 boosters now I have:

1 extra rare Emperor
1 extra rare Stormtrooper on Dewback
1 extra rare Probe droid
1 rare Lando
1 rare Bossk

When I first read your post, I thought you had gotten all 5 of those out of 2 boosters!! I'm thinking along the same lines, as far as how many boosters I'm really going to be buying. I think I might order an online case, since the prices are considerably cheaper, even after the shipping is added on. At $13 per booster, to basically get 1 figure (the rare/very rare), it would make more sense to just go out to some comic shops and/or toy shows and see if I can grab some for around (or hopefully under) $10, just like you said.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: chuckles on September 11, 2004, 10:04 PM
I think ordering a case online is probably the best way to go, pricewise. With tax, it cost me $13.83 for one booster yesterday. But I just ordered a case from one of the links that Matt had listed earlier in this thread (usacomicbooks) and the price per booster, shipping included, will come to about $8.70 each. A significant savings. I ordered it lastnight, it shipped today and I hope to have it by midweek. There might be cheaper alternatives online but some may be out of stock. This place still had them as of late evening lastnight.

Yeah, this is going to get ugly quick, no doubt. I picked up two more boosters today, and my success rate has dropped substantially. 5 ones I needed, the rest extras. Did get a Vader Sith Lord VR though, so, hey. I'll be ready for some tradin' action once my case arrives (on Monday, I hope).

Dumbass.   ::)

Now, as for me...  All I can say is "PHEW!"  God has changed his mind, and apparently loves me again.   8)

Stopped by the TRU next to that same gaming store I got jacked on my 3 Boosters last week, and was weak, so I went back in there today...  They'd put out a full fresh case of Boosters, and still had about 20 of them left, so I decided to have another go of it.  I asked them to bring about 10 of them up to the counter, and decided to give the "weight test" another shot, after failing miserably in it on Friday (despite pulling a Wampa).  So I found two that felt decidedly heavier than the rest this time, and bought 'em ($10.99 each).  Ran to the car, and ripped the puppies open, and WALLAH!  Dewback and Endor Rebel on Speederbike!  SWEET!   8)

Feeling kinda horny for these guys again now, I decided to march back into the store, and take another stab at it while on was on a roll, and since there were another 10 or so sets I hadn't weighed yet.  So he pulled all the Boosters out to the counter this time, and I weighed them all.  Found 2 that felt a little heavier, and decided to grab another 2 beyond that as well.  Haul ass back to the car, open 'em up:  Jabba!  Score!  The other "heavy" turned out to only be a Bossk though, which was still pretty cool with me.  The 3rd new set yielded an IG-88, so that was sweet since Bounty Hunters are always cool.  4th and final set (6th overall today), and out of the bottom drops...  JACKPOT!!!

Boba Fett.   8)

Sweet mother of Mary.  Needless to say, I'm feeling a tad better about this line now!  5 VRs, including Fett, out of 9 total Boosters so far.  Plus, I should have my case that I ordered online waiting for me when I get home today...

I'll update with the rest of my loot here momentarily.  Just had to share my joy here!

Now if we could just get that jealous little "wish I collected WOTC minis too" clown OCB to buzz off, we'll be in good shape here!

Here's my Boosters breakdown:

Dewback w/ Sandtrooper
Ewok
Stormtrooper #37
Stormtrooper Officer #39

Twilek Scoundrel

That's the second time you've described yourself as horny for these.  It's a little scary.  :-*

You're having awesome luck. How many boosters total for you? I've done six total and only found 2 VR's. Can't wait to see what you total list is after today.

Sorry, back to lurking.  I am curious though if you buy a booster case if you are guaranteed a good range of assortment (like Kubricks where you get a full set of regulars a variant and maybe a chase) or they are totally random

Patty just called and said UPS just delivered my case of Boosters, and Starter set.  So that assures me at least 2 new figures out of 94...  Excellent!   :P  There better at least be some freakin' Jawas and a Gamorrean or two in there, 'cause those were two of my top wants from the Commons and Uncommons, and I still ain't got none!   >:(

Also a little bummed, 'cause apparently this local gaming shop was giving out the checklist posters of all the figures - for free last week!   :-\  He said he'd hang on to one for me if he gets any more in.  They're definitely pretty cool!

I am curious though if you buy a booster case if you are guaranteed a good range of assortment (like Kubricks where you get a full set of regulars a variant and maybe a chase) or they are totally random

They're randomly packed Scott, and the breakdown in each Booster pack is like this (see my checklist above for who's in which group):

4 Commons
2 Uncommons
1 Rare or Very Rare

All 7 will be unique though, within each Booster, and will give you exactly 11.66% of a complete set.   ;)

But after you're through your first 6 - 10 Booster packs, you've probably nabbed most/all of the Commons and Uncommons (16 of each), so then you're really just chasing after the Rares and Very Rares, knowing that you'll be getting a ****load of duplicates with the rest of them at that point.

EDIT:  Whoops, you said Booster CASE, not pack.  Well, from all the breakdowns I've seen of people's cases, you're gonna wind up with most, if not ALL of the Commons and Uncommons (16 of each) along with several duplicates of many of them, and for the most part, the cases seem to do really, really well as far as not having any duplicates of the 12 Rare/Very Rare figures.  So I'd say you're gonna do pretty well altogether if you buy a Booster case.  You'd still be 14 Rares/Very Rares short of complete though (with no dups), plus you'd need a Starter set too, to nab the exclusive Luke and Vader in there...

... and my case did show up today, in the end. Your ratio seems to jive, Matt. There were 4 Very Rare and 8 Rare in the booster case, so one VR or R per pack.

11 to go for me... all R and VR.  :'(

So how do you guys plan on displaying these? I'm trying to come up with a way to display all 60 in a small area (not that I have all 60 or anything  :- )... shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm thinking about building a small stair-like display case out of foam core board and painting it black, similar to the ones I built for my stormtroopers before my army got out of hand.

I'm aiming to display them on a wall in a windowbox, placing the playing cards, stats side showing, with the figure in front of it. I figure it will use a recessed foamcore backing with slots for the figures. Here's a test on the floor:

(http://members.aol.com/jaredbrinkley/sw_mini.jpg)

Tiny, but I think you can see the idea. It's similar to this thing we did last year:

(http://members.aol.com/jaredbrinkley/ciththing.jpg)

I have to work out the layout but that's the basic idea at the moment. My only problem is the figures get a bit lost in the card. Whatcha think?

Finally got my case + 4 after only 10 days of cross-country travel.  ::)

This line is bittersweet. Nice detail and paint job; gonna be a bitch to polish off the missing 12 rare/very rare.  :'(

Time to hit the shops and test the midichlorian count.  :P

Now THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2537&item=5919087075&rd=1) and THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2537&item=5919529862&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) should be very interesting to keep an eye on...  Complete sets of all 60 figures, currently at $280 and $255, with 2 and 4 days to go respectively.  Damn!  :o

They ended at $335 and $383 respectively.  Yikes!   :o

Plus, this complete set (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2537&item=5920569705&rd=1) that got BIN'ed for "only" $300.

For all 60 of them, that's more than the average Hasbro figure each, for about 1/10 of the amount of plastic...

Wow, but on the flip side, the individual figures on eBay have come down a LOT in the last week or so since I last checked.  Much more affordable to pick and choose your missing rares and VRs now, if need be.

A lot of rares for $4-7, VRs for $10-15.  I missed this Probe Droid (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=234&item=5920966396&rd=1) for only $11.   :-\

I'll see what I can trade first, and then wander over there to see what's up.

Now if WOTC would just let me log in to their damned forums, I'd be in much better shape!   >:(

Since I'm getting ready to dive into the trading arena to hopefully fill out the rest of my set at this point, without spending much/any more, I've been browsing the WOTC forums to see if there's any general guidelines as to what's a typical/fair trade on these figures.  This seems to be the general prevailing guideline for most gamer's trading apparently:

1 VR = 2 Rare
1 Rare = 2 Uncommons
1 Uncommon = 2 Commons

I'd likely go a bit higher than those guidelines in some of my trading though, but at least it gives us all a frame of reference to work with...
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures checklist
Post by: Jeff on September 14, 2004, 02:28 PM
Just completed a trade, so I thought I'd show off update where I was at:


Common figures:
  8  Hoth Trooper
35  Snowtrooper
36  Stormtrooper
37  Stormtrooper
38  Stormtrooper
45  Ewok
51  Jawa
57  Tusken Raider
59  Twi'lek Scoundrel

Uncommon figures:
16  Rebel Officer
23  Elite Snowtrooper
24  Elite Stormtrooper
32  Royal Guard - w/bent force pike
33  Scout Trooper
39  Stormtrooper Officer

Pretty good for only buying one booster pack so far.  ;)

I have ordered a few more on-line and they should be here by the end of the week.  I've decided that I don't really need a complete set of these, just going to focus on Imp Troops and my favorite Characters and try to skip the EU stuff.

I'll probably end up trading off most of my Rares and VRs for Imp troops/Han/Chewie so you guys might benefit from my boosters as much as I do ;)

Post by: jokabofe on September 14, 2004, 09:28 PM
Who, me? I can't afford to get into this full throttle right now, so I'm just kinda coasting in and out. I've only bought the 3 boosters and the starter set as of yet, and for the near future I can't see myself dropping $13 per booster on these to pretty much get 1 figure at a time that I really want.

So, I'm in... kinda. Anybody has any extras they wanna sell cheap, you know where to find me :)
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on September 14, 2004, 09:36 PM
I don't remember you telling us what you got in your boosters, D.  So, what'd you get?  Same goes for you Jeff!

Still wheelin' and dealin' on my end, so once I'm done, and the dust has settled, I'll let you guys know what I've still got lyin' around.  Maybe it could fill the odd hole or two in your Common/Uncommon sets...

Unfortunately, it looks like with my current trade proposals, I'd still wind up exactly 2 VRs short of complete, which blows, 'cause I don't want to spend anything further on these, since I'm already at $222.47 at this point.  Ouch.  But considering the cheapest complete set on eBay went for $300, I guess I'm not too bad off...   :-\

Still annoyed with myself for not just getting a second case from Outfitters from the start.  Could've saved myself $12, and wound up with an extra 3 Boosters as well!  Stupid dumbass...   ::)
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures checklist
Post by: Jeff on September 14, 2004, 11:28 PM
Well, I'm back again. 

The two extra boosters I ordered on-line arrived in the mail today (FAST!).  So, with those 2 plus the original booster I bought and my recently  completed trade (thanks, Matt!), I've got the following:


Common figures (16 of 16): :)
  6  Elite Rebel Trooper
  8  Hoth Trooper
17  Rebel Pilot
18  Rebel Trooper
19  Rebel Trooper
20  Wookiee Soldier
35  Snowtrooper
36  Stormtrooper
37  Stormtrooper
38  Stormtrooper
41  Bespin Guard
45  Ewok
51  Jawa
53  Mon Calamari Mercenary
57  Tusken Raider
59  Twi'lek Scoundrel

Uncommon figures (10 of 16):
16  Rebel Officer
23  Elite Snowtrooper
24  Elite Stormtrooper
32  Royal Guard
33  Scout Trooper
39  Stormtrooper Officer
44  Duros Mercenary
47  Gamorrean Guard
49  Ithorian Scout
58  Twi'lek Bodyguard

Rare figures (2 of 16):
  3  Chewbacca - SWEET! ;D
46  4-LOM

Very Rare figures (0 of 12):
31  Probe Droid - had, but traded away

So, I picked up 3 boosters so far and nabbed 2 R and 1 VR.  Not too shabby, especially since one of the rares was one I REALLY wanted!  Plus, I was able to trade away my VR to get a bunch of the C/UC figures I still needed.

AND, I've got a coupon to a local gaming store in Oakdale for BOGO 50% off on Rebel Storm, so I'll likely stop by after work tomorrow and grab two more boosters!  :)

Wtf?!

My frustration subsided and I decided to buy a few single boosters in the hopes of snagging some heavier vr. I can't find any locally. Hell, some of the comic shops I knew of aren't there anymore.  ???
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: Jedi Idej on September 16, 2004, 12:49 AM
There is not a rare or very rare in each booster box.  The first 2 I bought had only commons and uncommons. 

You positive? Maybe you just didn't realize the vr or r you got are in fact vr and r. Were the cards still sealed and did they correspond with the included figures? That'd be a bitch if someone switched the minis and resealed the box.

OKay, so here's what I've got so far, after the starter set and 3 booster packs (and $62.50 down the drain  ::) )

Common figures (16):
  6  Elite Rebel Trooper
  8  Hoth Trooper
17  Rebel Pilot
18  Rebel Trooper x2
19  Rebel Trooper
20  Wookiee Soldier x3  >:(
35  Snowtrooper
36  Stormtrooper
37  Stormtrooper
38  Stormtrooper
41  Bespin Guard
45  Ewok x2
51  Jawa
53  Mon Calamari Mercenary x2
57  Tusken Raider x2
59  Twi'lek Scoundrel

Uncommon figures (16):
  1  Bothan Spy
  5  Elite Hoth Trooper
15  Rebel Commando
16  Rebel Officer
23  Elite Snowtrooper
24  Elite Stormtrooper 1 reg, 1 promo
28  Heavy Stormtrooper
29  Imperial Officer
32  Royal Guard
33  Scout Trooper
39  Stormtrooper Officer
44  Duros Mercenary
47  Gamorrean Guard
49  Ithorian Scout
54  Quarren Assassin
58  Twi'lek Bodyguard x3  >:(

Rare figures (16):
  2  C-3P0
  3  Chewbacca
  7  Han Solo
10  Luke Skywalker, Rebel (exclusive to Starter set)
13  Princess Leia, Senator
14  R2-D2
21  Darth Vader, Dark Jedi (exclusive to Starter set)
26  General Veers
27  Grand Moff Tarkin
30  Mara Jade, Emperor’s Hand
43  Dengar
46  4-LOM
48  IG-88
52  Lando Calrissian
55  Greedo
56  Bossk

Very Rare figures (12):
  4  Commando on Speeder Bike
  9  Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight
11  Obi-Wan Kenobi
12  Princess Leia, Captive
22  Darth Vader, Sith Lord
25  Emperor Palpatine
31  Probe Droid
34  Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike
40  Sandtrooper on Dewback
42  Boba Fett
50  Jabba the Hutt
60  Wampa

Thoughts so far? These are nice. But they are way too expensive. The amount of doubles (and triples  ::) ) that I've already got are making me warry of buying too many boosters going forward. Just doesn't seem worth it. From what I've seen (and spent) so far, these things are costing me about $1.65 per figure ($62.50 / 38 figures).  That's a little pricey for these, if you ask me. Considering that I'm not going to be playing this game, ever... I don't know if I'm going to bother. Well, I shouldn't say that. I'm probably going to pick up a few more, but I might just go after the figures that I want. Of course, the one I want more than any is Boba Fett...  ::)

Well, I just got my case and here is what I got as far as Rares and Very Rares. Haven't sorted thru it yet to see if I got a complete Common and Uncommon set, but I would hope so.

Rare
2 C-3PO
7 Han Solo
26 General Veers
43 Dengar
46 4-LOM
48 IG-88
52 Lando Calrissian
55 Greedo

Very Rare
22 Darth Vader, Sith Lord
40 Sandtrooper on Dewback
50 Jabba the Hutt
60 Wampa


Seems my case was heavy on the Bounter Hunters and the heaviest of the Very Rare pieces. Not complaining, though would have been nice to pull a Fett seeing as I was pulling every other BH.  ::)

Time to start trading away.  8)

Post by: JediMAC on September 16, 2004, 07:09 PM
Not too bad there Jim.  Though I'm learning from all my trading on the WOTC and Maxminis sites that the "non-heavy" VRs generally go for a bit more than the heavy ones, probably due to the ease of the cherry picking factor.  I've definitely learned that Obi-Wan is the second toughest one to Fett to acquire, so if you get that one, or come across a chance to get one, snag it!

I've only got 2 more to go now, and might be interested in trading some of my left over Rs/VRs for a few commons/uncommons (like Jawa, Gamorrean, Royal Guard...)  I should know soon.

Jim, remind me, have you gotten any other individual boosters yet?  Gonna be tough to trade with a lot of folks without any extra Rs or VRs.  Your commons/uncommons are usually tough to push off on someone, unless they actually PLAY the game and need to build up their armies.  But there are some of them out there, if you look around for them enough.  But they usually won't find you.

Good luck!
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: chuckles on September 16, 2004, 07:22 PM
Yeah, last week I picked up the starter set and 1 booster and from that booster I pulled a VR, the Scout Trooper on Speederbike. So at least I have 5 of the VRs out of 13 boosters.

You're probably right. Trading will be slim pickings with what I have. Probably have to resort to just outright buying the remaining pieces I need. Probably cheaper than dropping another $10-$13 per booster to get only 1 fig I need out of it. I'll have to see what ebay has to offer as far as prices, unless anyone around here has any they'd like to sell.

Argh!  You guys gotta stop paying retail for these things!  Yeah, it IS way too expensive (and not fun) that way...  :-\  Unless you're really loaded, or just don't care about the cost factor, the best thing to do is hit some of those links I threw in here for the e-tailers that carry these (assuming any of them still have stock left at this point).  They sell them in lots of 3, 6, 9, or cases.  Do it that way, and even with shipping, they come out to a much more stomachable $8.50ish each.  Plus, if you buy a case, your assured of 12 different Rs/VRs, which is an excellent way to start.  But if you're going to be buying Boosters at your local stores, at least try to do the weight test, so you can almost assure yourself of pulling some VRs, that are much easier to trade away for your other needs...

Then you've gotta hit the WOTC and Maxminis.com trading forums to finish stuff off, once you're relatively close.  I stopped short with 8 figures still on my wants list, but have been able to trade for all of them without having to buy anything beyond my original 21 boosters and the starter.  Granted, it took about 72 hours of straight trading negotiating to do it, but who the hell really needs to eat, sleep, or work anyway...?   :-[

Just a head's up, but this dude's (http://www.maxminis.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9591) got some pretty good prices on some of the R's and VR's, over at Maxminis.com (where I've done a lot of trading).  Might be worth looking into for some of you...  Looks like his figures are going fast though, so ya' better hurry!

Second Clone Strike preview figure's up, the Naboo Royal Security:

(http://www.wizards.com/global/images/swminis_article_clonestrikepreview2_pic1_en.jpg)

They mention the first two factions for Clone Strike will be the Separatists and the Republic.  Not sure if a third faction is coming again, but I'd guess so.  Probably just "Fringe" again...

As for my set, I'm down to just needing the Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight figure.  So if anyone's got an extra, give me a shout and we can discuss!   8)

For what it's worth, here are the 13 I'm still missing.

You have any rare extas? I have Mara Jade.

I've made a few more calls and visits to local shops. Only 1 store had any of these. The others didn't bother to stock because there wasn't any demand. Strange. The single shop that has some pegged them off to the side of and slightly behind the counter. I didn't bother to ask to see them -- if they allow people to inspect, then the boxes have been cherry picked; if they don't, well, I ain't going to chance $13 + tax when I can get them for less online.

The pros of online is the price. And wave 2 of Rebel Storm can be pre-odered for even slightly less than what wave 1 is currently selling for online. The bad is not getting the "now" satisfaction. A bigger issue for me is the potential that orders less than a case were are filled from a pile where the boxes have already been screened for the heavier packs, so, lessening the chances of getting a vr.

A 12-pack case has 4 vr. With 1 out of 3 boxes containing a vr, there's a great chance buying 4 will yield gold. Now let's say, for example, 2 of those boxes can be distinguished by weight and consequently pulled. The remainder then has 2 vr out of 10 packs, or 1 in 5. It's been a while since I took probs/stats, so I don't remember how to determine the odds, but clearly, the odds of getting 4 packs without a single very rare has now gone up immensely (or, similarly, the chance of getting a vr is low).

But really, I'm not bitter.  :P
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on September 18, 2004, 02:50 PM
Well, I think you need to make sure (verify with them) that the Booster cases are in fact sealed, if you're ordering online.  There's SUPPOSED to be 4 VRs in every case, and that's been the case in about 98% of the case breakdowns I've seen.  I'd say if you get any less than 4, the case has been tampered with...  But yeah, picking up sets in person may mean that the heavier VRs have already been cherry picked out (I did that with 4 of the heavies myself  :-[).  Doesn't hurt to try it though, if they'll let you hold/weigh all the boosters...

Definitely better prices online, and even at Target.com now too!  Jared and I both managed to find local gaming stores selling the packs for $10.99 each, which is slightly more tolerable, but still far from the $8.50 range of the e-tailers.

As for the "now" factor, it lasted about a week for me, since I've almost polished off my set with a bunch of crazy trading this week.  Just a question of how the hell long I'll have to be waiting for more OT figures to show up now.  Might be quite a while...   :-\

Post by: Jedi Idej on September 20, 2004, 03:28 AM
Reading over my half-assed analysis, even I lost track of what I was saying. (That's why I try to make brief posts -- my extra verbage winds up muddling my train of thought.)

To clarify, my case ordered online was fine; 4 vr, 2 noticeably heavier (wampa, jabba) and 1 iffy (it turned out be scout/bike -- woohoo).  The 4 extra, out-of-case boosters in that same order, though, was questionable and was what inspired my last post as none contained a vr. Again... when 1 vr out of 3 boosters is likely, 0 out of 4 makes me wonder. ...Not that I'm accusing the person who packed my order of being an unethical rat bastard.

Here's  an online dealer (http://www.allstartradingcards.com/StarWarsMiniatures.htm) listing boosters for $9. I emailed them on Saturday about availability, ect, and hope to get a response early this week.

****.

In a real unfortunate twist of fate, a guy I was trading with decided to surprise me and "upgrade" an extra Probe Droid I was getting from him, to a Dewback (which I had originally inquired about with him, but to no avail).  So I had settled on getting his Probe Droid, which worked out great, since I managed to already line it up to give to someone for the second to last figure I needed - Speederbike with Biker Scout.

So I get my package from him today, and what's in there?  The Dewback, instead of the Probe Droid that we'd agreed on.  I know he was trying to surprise me with what he thought was a better figure, but basically I just got screwed.  I'd already promised the extra Probe Droid to another guy for the Speederbike I need, and since there's no way in hell I'm reniging on a trade, I'm gonna have to give this other guy my only Probe Droid now (that I got from Jeff).   :'(

So instead of just being one figure short (Luke Jedi), I'm now two damned figures short, sitting on an extra freakin' Dewback.   :-\

So if anyone wants to swap my Dewback for their Probe Droid, please LMK!  After that, I should have another Sith Lord Vader ready to go, to secure my final Luke Jedi figure.  Hopefully.  Maybe I shouldn't line up a trade for that extra until I actually confirm it's receipt though, eh...?

Damn, and I was THIS close...   ::)

BTW, for what it's worth, shipments to Canada are taking super long according to rumblings on the spawn.com board too. 

You won't see me collecting these though.  Not a whiff of them up here, so everything would have to be done by online purchase or trade.   Too pricey for me right now.

To make matters worse in my jacked up extra Probe Droid transaction, the guy apparently wasn't even meaning to "upgrade" my extra Probe Droid to a Dewback.  He just flat out goofed, and stuck the wrong figure in there.  He feels real bad about the mix-up though...

Oh well, just one more extra trade I'll have to do now.   :-\


Heart attack?  Nah.  Maybe an ulcer though...

I assume that the Prode Droid you are refering to is going to me for my scout on Bike.  If so, then just swap out the dewback for the droid since my g/f just bought a couple boosters and pulled a probe droid (go figure).

With each issue you’ll receive a fully-detailed, hand-finished miniature Star Wars figurine specially commissioned and approved by Lucasfilm.
Each figurine comes complete with its own set of game statistics, detailing the strengths and abilities you’ll need to take your characters into battle.
Every figurine is compatible with the Star Wars Collectable Miniatures Game from Wizards of the Coast, Inc

Any idea if this is an exclusive figure, or just a random figure from the set? And, any idea how much this is gonna us U.S. people? I sent an inquiry asking these questions, so hopefully they will reply soon. Man, this is gonna get already costly, and now it's getting worse  ::)

AAAHHH!!!  I sent your figures out about 20 minutes before you posted this (and PM'd me at 'Scum)...   :'(  Oy.  I don't know if this latest development is funny, or sad.  Almost got me (actually the other guy) off the hook though.  Almost.  Hell, I didn't even know you were over here at JD Bruce!   :P

Anyway, your figures, including the infamous Probe Droid, are already in transit.  But if you wanna swap the Probe back to me for the Dewback later this week (what a hassle, I know), I'd be happy to accomodate ya'!  I'd throw in an extra buck too, to cover your duplicate shipping costs.  EDIT: Actually, I probably should wait and see if an offer I already made this morning to someone on the WOTC board goes through or not (the Dewback for Jedi Luke).  So I'll talk to you soon Bruce, and an unofficial and belated "welcome" to JD to ya' (now that I know who you actually are)!   ;)


Adam, damn you!  ARGH!  You trying to make my head explode, or sumthin'...?!   >:(  Now, I may have a heart attack...   :-\

But those scenes certainly look cool (and will require me to load back up on all the commons/uncommons I just traded away).  Not to mention the other cool extras, including the carry cast thingee (granted it doesn't work well for display purposes)...

Nope, no US subscriptions, just like the Fact Files. Your best bet is to make a new best friend in the UK and have him/her hook ya up! They sometimes will ship to the US, but it's been my experience that it is a horrendous pain. I originally subscribed to the Fact Files (same company) directly from DeAgostini and it was an absolute nightmare, I'd definitely recommend against it, as they are not fully able/prepared to ship to the US.

The figures are the same, as far as I can see, but I wouldn't discount the possibility of an exclusive or two, or ten...
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on September 21, 2004, 08:20 PM
So Adam, when you did the Fact Files, did you sign up on your credit card, and have them ship them to someone in the UK for you, who in turn likely shipped them off to you every 2-4 weeks (or something like that), and you just paid them for the shipping charges?

Or did your UK contact actually have to do the subscription themself, and you reimbursed them for everything (which would seem like a greater pain in the butt for the UK person)...?

I'm still hoping that WOTC doesn't jack the U.S. on this stuff.  They'll definitely piss off and alienate a lot of their fans, collectors, and gamers by doing this, I would imagine.  Man, I just don't know.

I don't suppose anyone knows if you can subscribe to the OT stuff only...  I don't want any of that Prequel garbage, and definitely won't give them my revolving subscription money if they're going to include that stuff too, when Clone Strike comes out in a couple months...

Just did a news post on this actually, and didn't see you guys actually talking about it here, so, well, huzzah!

This game, I can basically tell, is a watered down version of the original Star Wars Minis Battles from WEG.  A more terrain-based game where the setting becomes as important as the characters and such.

I want a subscription, but like the Fact Files I'm hesitant to.  Gonna read through what you've gotta say on it Adam because, basically, you know more on this than any of us already. :)

Dave, you dropped the WOTC folks a line about it though, right?  Hopefully you can find something out and let us know...


On the bright side, I surprisingly just managed to polish off my figure collection today, after all the hullabaloo over the Probe Droid.  Found a taker earlier this morning for my (mistakenly sent) Dewback for a Jedi Luke, and finalized a Jabba for Probe Droid deal later tonight.  So once they arrive in a few days, I'll be DONE!  Finally.   8)  That puts me all out of extra VRs, and after Bruce's loot arrives tomorrow, I should have one last duplicate rare to swap for... whatever - Tarkin.

Then I get to go about trading Jared's crap like a mad man to try to complete his set too!   :P

Then I have to figure out how the hell to deal with this exclusive UK crap!   >:(

Finding a friend in the UK's your only choice unless I get some word on this from De Agostini direclty.

I'm trying...

They have a phone # too Matt.  I know I can't afford to call overseas, but perhaps you can and have the patience to.

This expansion, I believe, is something that makes the game more like WEG's old game, the more I read up on it.  Terrain's important, etc...  Still watered down in comparison though, and doesn't go into as intricate detail.

The terrain looks really neat.  Pre-made and they just send it to you.  God I wish we had this in the states and it was just simple to get.  I felt the same way on the Fact Files, and I STILL don't have a full Fact Files set because I can't afford the huge shipping from overseas.

When I first subscribed to the Fact Files, they billed and shipped to me. Unfortunately, they stopped shipping to me, but continued billing me. I ended up getting billed by them for about $150. But, I was able to get it turned around on my card.

I've got a friend who buys them and ships them, and I reimburse him. For the Fact Files, I was trading him figures he needed; since these will most likely be more expensive, I'll probably just pay him outright.

Okay, here's the response I got from the folks at De Agostini:

Quote
Thank you for your recent email.
We are unable to accept subscriptions or despatch our magazine to th USA.
We are only able to accept subsriptions from the UK or Ireland.
This is due to the licensing laws for this particular Star Wars product.
I can confirm that the miniatures are from WOTC range.
There are 121 figures in total with a minimum of 28 rated as rare.
There is a website address that may be of use for you,it is as follows:
www.starwars.com

So I'm guesing that they will be sending doubles of certain common/uncommon ones, since they are saying that there are 121 total figures. And the "minimum of 28 Rare" line is odd, because there are 28 Rare/Very Rare figures total. So I guess if you manage to sign up for this magazine, you will be getting a complete set from them, including all the Rare and Very Rare figures.

Here's my recap so far:
Just curious.  I bought 9 boosters, in which I have NO doubles of R/VR.
Probe Droid
Dewback
Slave Leia
Emperor
Obi-Wan
R2
Bossk  (bought an extra Bossk to use as a prize at one of my meetings)
Greedo
Lando

I'd like to just try to find the other r/vr and buy outright, to me spending the $13 ea. pack now is pointless since I have ALL the common/uncommon in the 9 boosters I bought.

Post by: Jeff on September 22, 2004, 02:05 PM
So I'm guesing that they will be sending doubles of certain common/uncommon ones, since they are saying that there are 121 total figures. And the "minimum of 28 Rare" line is odd, because there are 28 Rare/Very Rare figures total. So I guess if you manage to sign up for this magazine, you will be getting a complete set from them, including all the Rare and Very Rare figures.

Is it possible that 121 covers the first 60 and some of the Clone Strike figures too?  Or do we know for sure it's 121 Rebel Storm figures?   :-\

Nope, sorry. No extra rares or very rares. Tons of extra commons and uncommons if you're interested in any of those.

Alas, same predicament as you -- more commons and uncommons than I need.

My last two packages have been MIA for a week now, but it sounds like one finally arrived today.  Hopefully the last guy doesn't flake out on me though, 'cause I wanna complete this bad boy!

Anyway, WOTC updated today with another Clone Strike figure, for your viewing pleasure - the Weequay mercenary:

Interesting.  I think this may be a CHEAP auction for a complete set, with 10 extra VRs to boot.  But I'd probably verify that with the seller first, to make sure it's not just the 10 VRs he's selling.  Either way, it's pretty damned cheap!

star wars miniature all 60 plus 10 more very rares (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2537&item=5923159555&rd=1)

Seriously though, I haven't decided what I want to do about those things yet.  Adam, have you figured out yet if this subscription thing is just for the Rebel Storm series, or does it roll forward into the Clone Strike sets as well?  And does it really give you one of each figure (that I already have)?

BeJedi.com (http://www.bejedi.com/?mode=article&k=173) just got the first UK exclusive DeAgostini Battle Games issue/package...

(http://forum.bejedi.com/album_thumbnail.php?pic_id=732) (http://forum.bejedi.com/album_thumbnail.php?pic_id=728)

Thought that Stormie was an exclusive for a minute, based on WOTC's visual checklist, which is screwed up and missing this Stormtrooper, but duplicating the picture of another one, just from two different angles.

Anyway, after looking over the freebiees from DeAgostini, the only one that really interests me is the storage case.  Other than that, the dioramas looked cool, but I had pretty much decided that these were going to be way too much of a hassle to deal with, due to the UK exclusivity bull****.

Unfortunately though, now the fun is over since I don't plan on buying the Prequel figures in the upcoming Clone Strike and (sure to be) ROTS sets.  Might nab a few of the EU figures from them though, like the Weequay, but those should just be commons and uncommons and not too tough to come by.

Just gotta wait now in hopes of WOTC putting out another OT based set, hopefully in the not so distant future...   :-\

Good luck with those Adam!  Hopefully you don't really wind up trading away ALL of your commons and uncommons for them though...   :-\  Have you tried trading on MaxMinis.com or the WOTC site?  That's where I did most of my trading, and I was actually able to upgrade a lot of my extra Commons and Uncommons for Rares and VR's.  Made about 6 or 7 trades on those two boards, all successfully.  Helped me finish my set off for a lot cheaper than I ever could've any other way.

Also, JDub over at RS shot me this link (http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=970348) to some more CHEAP Booster packs at Overstock.com (in their book section of all places).  Only $7.59 each!  Limit of 4 per person though.  Actually one cent cheaper per figure than a case from GameOutfitters.com, which has had the best price I've ever seen on these...

I jsut got into this game about 2 weeks ago.

After buying about 6 or 7 packs, I already have 4 of the bounty hunters ncluding fett, the emperor, and dewback.

Pieces aren't so rare in this game, unlike Heroclix...

My one favorite about thsi game is, it's ok to have doubles, especially stormtroopers and the likes. Because then you can have mass armies. In Heroclix, if you have five captain americas, or moloids, or whatever.. they are useless... but not in Star Wars...

I actually even got people in my hall interested in this game, so, here's hopin to a good year of
gaming.

Did you get the packs yet, and if so, did you get rarer stuff. At such a low price, it wouldn't surprise me if they opened and swapped figures around. It's been doen before.

Nope.  All were sealed Andy, and I got plenty of the R's and VR's, including Fett, etc.  A lot of folks ordered from them and I haven't heard of any problems to date.  I'd just be wary of Booster packs that you can buy at local stores that may have been returned by another customer, or stores that are selling the minis individually...

Cool Padme, except for the freaky yellow eyebrows...  But dammit, I don't want to collect the Prequel stuff!  Seriously!  I refuse to...  Honest.

I have played it, but I personally like the West End Games version better and rather use the new minis in the old game. 

Bob (Bobafett14) is playing it though, or tries to when we have a meeting, so that's one...  If "Blue Harvester" is who I think he is, he too is playing it, or at least as much as Bob is.

It's a good enough game.  You guys should try playing some time, but I like combat games between "armies" more.  IE: Squads of troops, larger forces on a table, little more "military" feeling than WOTC's game.  WEG's version was tailor made for combat with troops.  "Heroes" were a secondary aspect to the game that was possible but not as important.

Generally the hero was a squad sergeant or something.  :)  Some guys snuck in Han leading a group of commandoes, or Luke or someone as a "goal" to be rescued or some crap.

I haven't even bought a set myself.  I bought commons from some local guys just to army build.  That's the extent of my minis buying.  Can't find them for a price I'm pleased with paying though.

Well yeah, I know that doof...   :P

But most of these Clone Strike Preview minis have been EU figures, like "mercenaries" and such, with different costumes than what they wore in the OT films, and all that.  Plus, WOTC said they're not mixing any OT figures into the PT sets, and this is an AOTC era based set.  Plus, this one's called "Ishi Tib Scout".  So I don't think that's the SAME character as the Ishi Tibb from Jabba's Palace, or the ones in the Rebel Fleet planning meeting.  Just one of their species.  That's all.   ;)

So for those of you keeping score at home, that's 8 Prequel mini figures so far, and 5 EU ones.  I think we had about 5 EU ones in the Rebel Storm set, so hopefully that's the end of those for Clone Strike now.  Not that I mind some of them with the OT flavor, but I'd just prefer to get Ree Yees, Nikto, Weequay, etc in their TRUE ROTJ incarnations.  Know whatImean, Vern?

I'm so out on this set it's not even funny. Collecting the first wave just wasn't fun, and that was for an assortment of characters I actually cared about.

That said, I do like how they are handling the EU-ishness of the aliens. They don't offend me like most EU things do. They seem to fit in pretty well. I'll take 10 Ishi Tibb random characters to a Mara Jade any day. That big fake.

Interestingly enough, I stumbled upon a random Rebel Strike Booster pack in the Star Wars section of the action figures at Target tonight.  Bottom of the package was not surprisingly ripped open too.

So that means that either Target stores are now selling them too, or they're taking returns of the ones they sold on their Target.com website.

Either way, weird.  But something to keep an eye out for in the future, I guess...

Wow.  Missed this news from WOTC last week...

Apparently Series 4 (after the Clone Strike and ROTS sets) is going to be all "HUGE" figures, or at least the VRs will be.  From the entire Saga of all 6 films too, apparently.  I guess we're talking Rancors, Landspeeders, and the like...  It sounds like all the rest of the regular minis included in the boosters will just be rehashes from the prior lines though.

Anyway, you can scope out the news right here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/swmini/967870000)!   8)

Apparently Series 4 (after the Clone Strike and ROTS sets) is going to be all "HUGE" figures, or at least the VRs will be.  From the entire Saga of all 6 films too, apparently.  I guess we're talking Rancors, Landspeeders, and the like...  It sounds like all the rest of the regular minis included in the boosters will just be rehashes from the prior lines though.

That's kinda lame. Just re-releasing the same regular figures and making some new VR's to get people to buy them again? Who's making these minis, Hasbro?

wizards of the coast is.

i doubt they would be reissues of older minis.

probably new versions of old characters. a new luke, a new han, in a different costume perhaps with new stat cards.

oh and that jango is way to powerful for a booster figure, IMO anyway.

These should be out on 12/3, so get ready for more madness.  That's assuming anyone other than Andy and I are still collecting these cool little minis...  Where'd everybody else go?!   :-\

I'm still collecting, technically. I still need about 13 from series 1 but plan on picking up a case, maybe 2 of these. Depends on how good a price can be found again.

Got a clone strike starter and two boosters today. got two "very rares" already too. Count Dooku and Padme Amidala.
My biggest complaint is oen we've seen before, in battle droids no less. They come bent out of shape. I had to heat them with a hair dryer and the cold water dealie to make them stand straight. Otherwise this set is pretty badass, although some poses are ... interesting, such as the devaronian bounty hunter. He looks to be a gymnast. hehe.

Good luck with your new cloen strike packs when you find them guys.

Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on December 4, 2004, 04:46 PM
So here's another checklist breakdown, by rarity this time:

Common figures (16):
  6.  Clone Trooper
  7.  Clone Trooper
  9.  Clone Trooper Grenadier
10.  Clone Trooper Sergeant
14.  Gungan Infantry
28.  Battle Droid
29.  Battle Droid
30.  Battle Droid
41.  Geonosian Drone
46.  Security Battle Droid
49.  Aqualish Spy
51.  Devaronian Bounty Hunter
52.  Gran Raider
54.  Klatooinian Enforcer
55.  Nikto Soldier
58.  Weequay Mercenary

Uncommon figures (14):
  4.  ARC Trooper
  8.  Clone Trooper Commander
15.  Jedi Guardian
20.  Naboo Soldier
31.  Battle Droid Officer
34.  Dark Side Acolyte
42.  Geonosian Overseer
44.  Geonosian Soldier
47.  Super Battle Droid
48.  Super Battle Droid
53.  Ishi Tib Scout
56.  Quarren Raider
57.  Rodian Mercenary
59.  Wookiee Commando

Rare figures (18):
  2.  Aerial Clone Trooper Captain
  5.  Captain Typho
11.  Agen Kolar
12.  General Kenobi
13.  Gungan Cavalry on Kaadu
16.  Ki-Adi-Mundi
17.  Kit Fisto
18.  Luminara Unduli
22.  Plo Koon
25.  Saesee Tiin
27.  Asajj Ventress
32.  Battle Droid on STAP
37.  Destroyer Droid
38.  Durge
39.  Dwarf Spider Droid
43.  Geonosian Picador on Orray
45.  Jango Fett
60.  Zam Wesell

Very Rare figures (12):
  1.  Aayla Secura
  3.  Anakin Skywalker
19.  Mace Windu
21.  Padmé Amidala
23.  Qui-Gon Jinn
24.  Quinlan Vos
26.  Yoda
33.  Count Dooku
35.  Darth Maul
36.  Darth Sidious
40.  General Grievous
50.  Aurra Sing

Looks like a slightly different breakdown on the rarity and faction ratios this time.  Now we're lookin' at:

12 Very Rares (same)
18 Rares (16 last time)
14 Uncommons (16 last time)
16 Commons (same)

So we just got two Uncommons bumped up to Rare status, which should make things just a tad more challenging/expensive.  As for the factions, we're now at 26/22/12, whereas it was an even split of 20/20/20 last time.  Guess I can live with those changes...

Let the hunt begin!   8)

Post by: JediMAC on December 5, 2004, 01:21 AM
Woohoo!  Just nabbed TWO Booster cases for $87.95 each, a "Starter" set for $12, and free shipping for everything (off of eBay).  So that should probably take care of the whole Clone Strike set (with a little trading) for just $187.90!   8)

Still expensive, but probably as cheap as one could ever manage.  I'd suggest you folks keep an eye on NeoToys auctions there if you want some similar mini love...   ;)

Picked up a case for $95 at FS today Matt.  Got 42/60.  I have 2 more cases coming on Thursday.  May be we can do some trading.  Let me know.  Also beware of the flat battle droids.  Actually they're kind of funny.
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on December 5, 2004, 02:01 AM
Woah, THREE cases, Jay?!   :o  Was that just so you could complete the set, or do you game with them and really want that many?

I'd be happy to swap some stuff, though it doesn't sound like you're gonna need anything with 3 cases coming your way.  I'll only need 4 more R's and VR's beyond what I get (after trading any dupes), which I should just be able to trade some C's and UC's for.  Managed to finish off my RS set last time with just 21 Boosters and the starters and a whole bunch of trading.  Not going to be quite as fun this time without all the wheelin' and dealin'!

I'm probably going to look into trading a lot of my Prequel C's and UC's, for more OT stuff from the OT that I'd like extras of.

Weird that some main Prequel players got left out of the mix, like Jar Jar (not that I mind), Dexter Jettster, etc.  There's really only 2 non-EU "Fringe" minis, that being the Bounty Hunters Aurra and Zam.  Kinda lame to have that entire Fringe faction with mostly OT aliens under some guise of "Mercenary", Bounty Hunter, or whatever...   :-\

Two reasons to 3 cases.  Can't help it, boosters are like crack to me right now.  I just have to keep opening them, lol.  The other i'm planning on making scenes with my legos.  They're like the same scale.  Instead of buying more legos these end up being cheaper per figure.

You lucky dog, you!  I'm still waiting on all of mine.  No idea what the hold up is.  Seller never wrote me back either, so I have I don't know if they've gone out yet, or not...

But hang tight, 'cause more trading's gonna be comin' your way soon Jim (and Jay)!   8)

BTW, I was able to snag one of the Clone Strike promo posters the other day, from a local collecting store.  Unfortunately, they tossed out their old Rebel Storm one that I'd wanted for quite a while.  Anyone by chance have an extra one of those?  Desperately seeking one now, I am...

speaking of desperately seeking stuff...

Are you guys building up armies of extras of these figures?

I know a guy looking for Tusken raiders (any and all) to game with...  I know I'd kind of dig army builders (Any and all) from the series too.

If anybody's got these things to spare, hit me up with a PM.  I'd like to buy in large groups than individuals though.

Just found out from Jay that I may be getting jacked on my sets by the eBay seller NeoToys.  Apparently he's not delivering ANY of the hundred or so sets that he's put up on eBay, and has now been hit with a TON of negatives and Paypal refund requests.  ****.  I'm screwed.

Here's a summary (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=352107) of the saga over at WOTC's boards, and you can see his eBay feedback quickly declining right here (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=neotoys&item=5940661212&iid=5940661212&frm=1883&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:SFS) too (if 30+ negatives THIS WEEK can be considered declining).

I'm thinking that after this fiasco, that maybe I'll pass on the "prequel" minis after all.  Maybe this was supposed to be a sign...  I'll still probably wan't to scoop up some of the fringe "EU" characters that seem to have ties to the various OT aliens though.  So I'll keep you guys posted on that.

Sucks too that it soured you on buying this series at all. But, if you do decide you want a select few of the EU characters, just let me know and I can hook you up with some of my dups, if you'd like.  :)

That sucks Matt.  If you ever want me to check on what a going rate for a case is at F&S, let me know.  I got one two weeks ago for $95.  It's probably cheaper now that a few weeks have passed since the release date.

Post by: JediMAC on December 18, 2004, 02:56 PM
Ya' know, now that this crap has happened, I'm starting to think the "NeoToys" name sounds familiar too, and I'm guessing that some folks have mentioned him over at 'Scum at some point.  He had perfect eBay feedback of 600+ going into this transaction, so I wasn't worried at all.  But damn, when it rains, it pours!

I might just keep my eyes peeled for some complete sets of Clone Strike on eBay instead.  If I see any drop all the way down to $125 - $150, I may go for it.  I think some of the Rebel Storm complete sets eventually dropped into the upper $100's, and since Prequel collectibles usually go for less than OT stuff, it may be possible to snag a set for pretty cheap.  We'll see...  Otherwise, I'll probably just snag some of those "EU" fringe figures off of one of you.   ;)

Post by: JesseVader08 on December 22, 2004, 06:24 PM
I've been keeping an eye on this thread for a while.  Very uncool.  I'm a little off topic, but I was wondering if he was telling the truth about PayPal complaints causing NeoToys account to be locked.  Does making a formal complaint with PayPal actually slow down the refund process?  (assuming he actually had any intent to refund people)
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on December 22, 2004, 07:10 PM
Yeah, I've been wondering that myself Jesse...  Actually a lot of the "winning" bidders involved have been asking that.  I just don't know.

I'd imagine that if the seller's contacted by a small handful of people personally, that he can just refund the money from Paypal, no problem.  But I'd be willing to guess that if Paypal starts simultaneously receiving more than just a handful of complaints against a specific seller, that it'd be in their best interest, as well as of those who paid money, to freeze that seller's account immediately so he can't access the money and potentially withdraw it all and try and take off.

They've probably got some Complaint/Refund demand limits installed at Paypal that sound the alarms to freeze an account when necessary.  Either way, I had asked the seller personally (prior to involving Paypal) for a refund several times, but to no avail.  So I went with the Paypal route after that, and we'll see how that goes.  I'd imagine if they've ever seen a slam dunk case of fraud where people are deserving of refunds, this would have to be it.  Could 50 or so people all complaining about the same seller all by lying?  I don't think so...   :-\

Someone over at 'Scum totaled the auctions that NeoToys is currently scamming folks on, and came up with a figure over $10,000.  :o

Bastard.

And you know what?  I honestly don't think the guy originally set out to rip anyone off.  He was a seriously legitimate seller prior to this, and was trying to clear things up for a while when this whole fiasco started...  My guess is just that these were all pre-order cases (which he never stated) and he didn't get them in, or he did and has been super lazy this month for whatever reason, and hasn't sent hardly any of them out.  But then he made up an excuse to buy him some time, which turned out to be a flat-out lie that a number of people caught him on, and then it just quickly snowballed after that.  When all of his customers found out he was lying, they all immediately assumed the worse and started complaining and demanding refunds, which I'd guess lead to him freaking out, and completely giving up on trying to rectify things.  Kind of a riot/mob scene, and he never had a chance.  If only he had just been honest with everyone, he might've saved his business.

Very bizarre...

Post by: JesseVader08 on December 23, 2004, 12:52 AM
Definitely a scary situation.  Ebay can be so unpredictable as it is, so you'd think it would be safe to trust the ebayers that have proven to be reliable.  It's scary when even the guys that have been so honest in the past suddenly turn (whether intentional or not) and screw over even 1 person, much less the growing numbers in this case.   :-\

People on the WOTC board have reported geting there cases so alls not lost with him.. but i've actually had enough of neotoys and all this BS thats been going on

I just want to say that I hate clone officers.

All I get are clone seargents and comanders, and never the troops.

It's like having nothing but Patton... except that Patton was good..

actually its more like having a lot of jelly and no bread.

I hope they end up doing an EU oriented set, or at the least more EU figures. It would sure as hell make gameplay a lot more interesting. We'll see.

I wanted the money back at this point, and don't want these damned cases.  Not sure what I'm going to do at this point now, but I'll keep you all posted...

I may very well be up for doing that, Jay.  I'll have to see what Larry at NeoToys has to say, and then decide what I want to do...  I've been going back and forth on it.

I believe the cases were $88 each, which is the cheapest I ever saw anywhere.  So I'd just charge that, plus shipping if I do decide to dump them...  That's assuming I get my $12, or the Starter Set, back as well.  If not, I might up them a few bucks each to offset some of that loss.   :-\

I'll keep you guys posted!

If he ends up giving you the refund Matt, I say keep them.  2 cases for free sounds good to me.  I think the the Jedi and Sith just rock in this series.  When around 20 of them have a saber, they just look cool.

Nah, I don't want to railroad the guy THAT bad!  Technically, I still have an outstanding Paypal complaint against him too, so I should probably contact them tonight to have that case dropped.

I dunno.  The thought of still rolling with the Prequel minis means I'll then have to get the ROTS line as well.  That's nearly $400 on these two Prequel lines, and as most know, I'm not such a big fan of the Prequels.

Argh.  Can't decide what to do!   :-\

When did he say you were getting the refund & when were they shipped Matt?

Maybe the best thing to do is contact him & find out WTF is going on & find out about the Starter Set.  :-\

Post by: JediMAC on December 29, 2004, 02:00 AM
He e-mailed me on the 23rd, saying a refund was being sent, and included a tracking number.  The package arrived yesterday, the 27th, with that same tracking number.

Not sure exactly how he mixed up "refund" with "package".   ::)

Annoying, 'cause after the wife's wild Christmas shopping spree, I could've really used that couple hundred bucks back, like he said he was doing...

Refund...package, sounds the same to a person who had alot of orders to fill & money to return. Could have got it all mixed up in a rush. Still best to email & find out WTF is going on.

Well, given that his Ebay reputation is basically shot, and he'll never be able to do business again with that account, I have no doubt that he simply doesn't give two ***** about refunds or packages...  it's probably in his interest to keep the $ really, so (given things as they are) I wouldn't doubt that he's just trying to hose you, again, Matt.   :-X

Post by: JediMAC on January 3, 2005, 07:25 PM
Damn.  Word's starting to trickle in from those who filed Paypal complaints against NeoToys (the seller of those 100+ bogus Clone Strike booster cases) that Paypal is agreeing that the claims are valid and that the seller's definitely at fault, BUT that they're unable to provide refunds to anyone as there's no available funds in his account to withdraw from...   ::)

WTF?!  Are they suggesting that the only way they can give valid refunds to people who get ripped off using their site is if the seller still has money in his account?  Sheesh.  I didn't think that was how it worked, otherwise there'd be very few valid refunds going around.

Never heard back from the guy after I e-mailed him a week ago either.  So I'm short a Starter Set/$12, and am stuck with 2 booster cases that I probably don't want.  What an *******.   >:(

A member on Snowtroopers looks like he fell victim to the same seller.

Is the PayPal payment through a Credit Card? If so then call your CC company & explain, they will deal with it. If not then I'm not sure what you can do.

I did find this from PayPal...Money Back Guarantee Policy (http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_guarantee-outside)

I've been thinking of getting into these.  Send me a PM if you're interested in getting rid of them - but no rush, I realize you've got more to deal with here first. 

I'm definitely still learning about them - how many packs per case?  $/case?  Is this gonna cost me my left nut?
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on January 4, 2005, 01:03 AM
Jesse -
There's a Starter Set with 2 exclusive Rare figures (and like 8 or so commons and uncommons) that retails for $20, but can usually be found for $12 - $15.  You'd need one of these for the 2 exclusives.

Then it's on to the Booster Packs (and a lot of 'em) for the rest of the collection, which each contain one Rare or Very Rare mini figure, and then 6 Commons and Uncommons.  These retail for $13, but can often be found for between $7 and $9 each.

I bought two cases of the Boosters, which come with 12 Booster packs in each one.  I got the cases (after much hassle with the aforementioned idiotic scam artist on eBay) for about $88 each (shipped), which is just a little over $7 per.

If you check those breakdowns that I posted as checklists a few pages back, you'll see just how many Rares and Very Rares there are that you'd need to get in order to complete your whole set.  No worries about the Commons and Uncommons, as you'll wind up with plenty of each of those after a handful of Booster packs.

Then there's the fun of doing a bunch of trading, of course, to polish off the remaining Rares and Very Rares.  With the first Rebel Storm set of minis, I managed to complete a whole set of all 60 figures with the Starter, and 21 Boosters.  Ran me about $200 total.

This time around, I'm in for about $188 for a Starter and 24 Boosters, which should be good enough to complete a set with the help of a little trading.  There's 60 different figures this time around as well.

Then it's onto the ROTS set in a few months, followed by a set of all "huges", like Banthas, Rancors, smaller vehicles, etc.  Fun little suckers they are.  Addictive, and kinda expensive if you're not too crafty on the trading boards.

Now if I could just decide what I want to do with mine.  Starting to lean towards keeping them now...   :-\

Thanks.  I'll fill you in on the rest tonight!

Jay, whatchya' got in the way of duplicate Rs and VRs?

Hang tight fellas, and we can start wheelin' and dealin' tomorrow, assuming I get any dups that is...  How cool would that be to get 24 completely unique figures?!   8)

(for me of course, as that doesn't help your efforts at all...  ;))
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on January 4, 2005, 02:43 PM
Just scoped out the completed eBay auctions, and it looks like I managed to snag 3 of the 4 toughest (most expensive) VR's in my first case: Yoda, Sidious and Dooku.  Sweet.  Just have to nab a Maul in the other case, since he seems to be going for more than anyone right now.  This set's Boba Fett, basically.  Looks like you've done pretty well with your VRs too Jim!   8)

Hopefully for my last 4 VRs I pull a Maul, Mace, Grievous, and Aayla.  That'd still leave me short the Qui-Gonn, Aurra, Padme, and Quinlan.  That bites.  And Jim, your extra VR there (Vos) is the one I'm least interested in, unfortunately.

In fact, I just realized that the last time around, I was able to "cherry pick" all of the heavier VRs from a collecting shop, so I guess this time's gonna be a lot more challenging now that I think of it.  Not to mention, I got a couple Boba Fetts last time, so I was able to trade one of them for TWO of the VRs (and a Rare) that I still needed.  Man, this is gonna be tricky...   :-\

I dropped that NeoToys seller another line last night to let him know that he still owed me a Starter set, and I suggested he toss in a few extra (free) booster packs for my troubles.  Hopefully he's down with that idea...

All I have left is Typho and Vos.  I've been trading most of my extra rares from CS and RS on wizards for Jedi Guardians and Dark Side Acolytes.  I'm trying to build an army of them.  I'm going to F&S tomorrow to do some trading also, I'll see what I can get.

Well that's just bloody brilliant now, Jay!  Just had to have two (of the 6) that Jim happens to have extras of.  C'mon, where's the teamwork here guys?  We're all supposed to just get extras of what the other guys still need...

Guess that teaches me for being such an indecisive dumbass.  You guys should've yelled at me to get my ass in gear earlier!   >:(

 :P

So are there any Rs or VRs that you still need Jay?  Or are you all caught up now?  I'll let you know how I do on the Jedi Guardians and Dark Side Acolytes when I go through the rest of the "crappy stuff"...   ;)

I just finished my set today! Woohoo!  The Emperor Palpatine I needed from RS came today.  I have completed both, thank goodness.   Here's a list of extras I have:

RS:  Chewie, Han, Leia Senator, Tarkin, & Lando
CS:  Typho & Vos

That's it.

****.  Second case ABSOLUTELY SUCKED!  8 out of 12 duplicates (including 7 of the 8 Rares), and the two VRs I wanted least - Padme and Quinlan Vos (which of course is the one VR you both had an extra of).   :-\

You know what the chances are of getting 7 out of 8 identical Rares between two cases?  Astronomical.  I'l slightly pissed and very annoyed right now.  Time to start swapping, I guess...   :-\

Not to add more rain Matt, but there are 2 minis that you don't have that are hard to get right now.  Maul and Destroyer Droid.  Boy do I wish I had extras of DD.  I've seen someone on wizards trade a Padme and a combo of 10 ucs & cs for it.  Crazy if you ask me.  The thing you and Jim might want to do is combine your extras to get your needs.  Also I've seen the trading for RS minis increase lately, so if you guys have extra that will help also.

I got two Captain Typhos in the same pack.. now thats just a mega suck...

BTW i sent you an e-mail matt, I saw your listing at WOTC.

and as far as getting extras of whatever everybody needs I had a ton of them, traded most but still have some. here's my listing if you're interested.
http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=357007

And damn yeah those Destroyer droids, I listed one for trade, and had about 12 offers in an hour, no joke. Ended up tossing it for a Durge and several clonetroopers. which I've yet to get in the mail..

hmm, to cover the lack of gameplay talk, I actually did a cross era battle, Empire still reigns supreme against the republic and it's jedi.

Got your e-mail Andy.  I'll try to get back to you on that tonight.  Got about 30 trade offers on stuff, so I'm trying to sort through everything right now, but don't have much time.

As for the SDCC Promo Stormtrooper, it's just the same as the RS Elite Stormie, just different text on the bottom of the base, saying something about it being Promo #2 from SDCC.

Talk soon...

Jim, did you still need an RS Rares?  I might pull one from a trade if you need it, and pass it along to you for another of yours that I need.  So LMK!

Nope, sorry. I picked up all the RS rares that I needed on ebay a few weeks ago. All I need now from the RS set is 6 VRs. Thanks for the offer though.

Any chance of doing a 2 for 2 rare swap from the CS set? Like my Typho and Kaadu for your Tinn and Spider Droid? LMK.

That was my first thought Jim, but the more I thought about it (since I've got so much work to do to complete my set), the more I realized I better "trade up" as much as possible first, before doing the 1:1 trades.  So I already secured a Typho for some Uncommon extras I've got, saving my Rares to hopefully "trade up" for the 5 VRs I still need.  Make sense?   :-\

Sorry.  But I can give you a holler a little later on to let you know what I've still got left...  I've got about 25 offers for that Spider Droid already too!   :o  No interest in the Saesee though, so maybe we can hopefully swing that for the Kaadu still.

I feel bad for not helping you right off the bat though.  Bad friend, I am - I know...   :'(

Got another pack containing an Asajj Ventress... I really know how to pull doubles.
Oh well I guess, It's just more trade fodder.

Never got an e-mail back from yah matt, but when you have 30+ I can undersand that. heh. Even around 10 offers is hard to deal with sometimes.

If any of you other guys needs stuff I already posted my trade list. If you're interested anyway.

Yeah, I'm still lagging (and sorting through stuff) Andy...  Sorry!  :-[  I've been concentrating on trying to "trade up" for stuff so far, using Commons and UCs to get some of the Rares that I need, so I can save my duplicate Rares to hopefully trade for VRs.  Those are my two focuses right now, so looking at Rares for Rares is my kinda my bottom priority at this point (except for the Destroyer Droid).  I'm determined to complete my set off of just two booster cases, without buying anything else, so I'm trying to be as "crafty" as possible with my trading right now (like I just mentioned to chuckles).  Can't recall off the top of my head what your proposal was right now, but if it was an R for an R, I'll probably want to wait a little longer.  But I'll double check that tonight, and let you know...

Those Spider Droids are hard to get, just as Destroyer Droids.

No ****!  Man, when I put my lists up, almost EVERYONE was asking for my Spider Droid.  Seeing as how in demand it is, I think I might try to hold onto it for only the Destroyer Droid, or one of the lesser VRs, if I can swing either of those.

Still hoping to swap my Dooku for the elusive Maul too.  Boy, this is hard!   :P

The funny thing is that I don't think anyone here actually plays the game, Andy.  Even last time around when there were a lot more of us (for Rebel Storm) I don't think we had any gamers - only "collectors".  Maybe Bob plays (BobaFett14), but I haven't seen him around here much of late...

My trading's been progressing pretty well this week.  Looks like I've got both a Maul and Grievous lined up now, so I just have a few more VRs to focus on and then I can get down to swappin' my leftover Rares.  Should know more after this weekend, so I'll keep you guys posted...

WOTC had a chat (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=5279254#post5279254) at their site yesterday, and here's a few highlights from it:

Repainted minis (whatever the hell that is, but I don't like the sounds of it...  :-\):

WOTC: wotc_robwatkins says, " Alternate paint miniatures are schedules to be in the May 1st league kits."

Star Wars "Huges":

wotc_robwatkins says, "There are 10 huges and 50 small to large miniatures. So the huges are part of the set of 60."

New Lukes, Spirit Ben, Rancor, AT-AT:  :o

wotc_robwatkins says, "Originally, Luke, Rebel Pilot was going to have the Use the Force ability which could only be used if Obi-Wan's Force Spirit points were added to Luke. We deemed that it was too narrow a focus for the effect, so it was removed from Luke Skywalker, Rebel Pilot. Use the Force will appear on Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master. Two other characters which will be appearing in the future are the Rancor and the Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport Walker."

ROTS and Huge minis:

wotc_robwatkins says, "Boba Fett, Young Mercenary and Yoda, Jedi Master will be in RotS. Warmaster Tsavong Lah will be in the Universe set. "

Huge factions:

wotc_robwatkins says, "The Universe set has 7 factions... Republic, Separatist, Fringe, Imperial, Rebel, New Republic, and Yuuzhan Vong. So yes, both of the ones you listed will become their own factions."

AT-ST, and 13" AT-AT!  :o

wotc_robwatkins says, "The AT-ST will be in the Universe (Huge) set. ... The AT-AT would be a separate item that comes with a double sided map sheet. I believe the AT-AT will be 13" tall, 5" wide, and 15" long."

3 New sets in 2006:

wotc_robwatkins says, "We have the AT-AT coming later in the year, with a double sided battle sheet of Hoth. ... We have new terrain tiles and templates coming from organized play this year, along with alternate paint miniatures. We are currently plotting out set lists for three more sets in 2006. The only plans at this time are to rerelease Rebel Storm in Europe."

Snowspeeder delayed...

wotc_robwatkins says, "The decision to go ahead with the AT-AT came after our opportunity to put snowspeeders into the Universe set. We will put snow speeders into an Ultimate Missions book, and you can be certain that there will be snowspeeders in the next huge set..."

EU set:

wotc_robwatkins says, "There are currently no plans for NJO to get its own starter. The Knights of the Old Republic, Clone Wars, Rebellion, and New Jedi Order eras are likely to be presented together in sets."

Those are the highlights for now.  Damn, looks like these are gonna be around for awhile.  Some promising stuff coming down the pipeline.  Still can't get over that 13" AT-AT...   8)

Hey Adam, PM me your Rebel Storm minis list...  I'm looking for army builders (Stormtroopers, etc.) for cheap...  it's generally been working out since they're most commons and uncommons. 

Building my troops to actually play the West End Games game with the new minis while I amass my WEG army separately incase I run into someone who still uses those ones too...  Nice to be covered on both sides of the gaming fence I figure.

JediMAC,

Thanks for the update.  My two sons and I have been playing RS for the first time this past week.  I know...I am a late bloomer.  The game is very fun, kinda like Chess on steroids.

I have no plans to collect the prequel stuff at this time.  Thanks to Tydirium as of Monday I will have a little over 250 minatures in hand.  Army building and playing is just plain fun :D.

No too bad since I have only spent $105.00 (cash out of pocket) to date and one trade for some loose animated clone figures.

Back to the news, I am very excited about the plans for this line in the future.

ATAT= ;D, sounds like this thing will be close to scale!

Unpainted figures = great, because it looks like on some figures someone fell asleep while painting.  It will be interesting to see how hard these are to get.

This is bothering me...

Will the RS Set for Europe be identical to the U.S. release or will it be Tri-Logo?  I would hate to drop a lot of coin for the 5 VR's that I am looking for our set to see prices plumate if they are identical.

I will wait.

This site (http://www.coolstuffinc.com/main_miniatures.php?viewType=Star%20Wars&info1=Miniatures&info2=Star%20Wars&info3=Rebel%20Storm) has cases available for pre-order (May) for $104.99.  No mention of any differences and the picture is identical to the U.S. release.

$8 a change to ship 1 case and $10 UPS Ground to ship two cases.  No tax too!

Commons for as low as 25 cents each.

Great prices!

JediMAC,

Thanks for the update.

Uh, I think you can call me Matt, Matthew...   ;)

Unpainted figures = great, because it looks like on some figures someone fell asleep while painting.  It will be interesting to see how hard these are to get.

Re-painted, actually.  Maybe that's what you meant though.  I'm still scared to death to see what's in store for these repaints, and how hard they may potentially be to come by...   :-\

Will the RS Set for Europe be identical to the U.S. release or will it be Tri-Logo?  I would hate to drop a lot of coin for the 5 VR's that I am looking for our set to see prices plumate if they are identical.

It's all identical - U.S., European, etc.  No tri-lingual with this stuff that I've ever heard of.  Lots of folks trade across the oceans, with not a peep of any differences between the minis or cards.  All the same, so you should be fine, M.

As for the case prices there, slow your roll Matt!  CS cases have been dropping into the 70s/80s range, so hold out for something better if you're looking into those.  Same will go for the ROTS sets.  Cases can usually be found well under $90, no problem, if you look around a little and are patient.  Just stay away from any cases from NeoToys on eBay...   :P

25 cents for commons is good though!   8)

Man, after hitting a complete brick wall for the past week on trying to nab my last 3 VRs for cheap (Mace, Aayla, Qui), out of the blue tonight I got a couple messages on some old offers I put out and it looks like I've got the Mace and Aayla now.  So Qui-Gonn's my last one now, other than still needing to grab a Starter set too, since that NeoToys scam artist never sent me mine...   >:(

Anyone hear when the ROTS set is due out?  My wife would be most appreciative if I would lay off the minis trading boards for a month or two, I think.   ;)

Regarding JediMAC...didn't know for sure if you wanted anyone calling you by your real name on posts.  I thought you would be offended not using your codename / forumname ;D.

O.K. Matt, repaints will be interesting, I hope they do a better job on the eyes of some of the pieces.

I have no plans on nabbing Clone Strike at this point in time.  Lately, I have been really really having no (0) desire to collect prequel stuff.  However I saw a Grievous pre-quel figure at my Target and thought that looked pretty detailed. 

ROTS Minis appears to be scheduled for a May release.

Congrats on getting closer to completing the CS Set.

I ship USPS with Delivery Confirmation. All my figs are bagged and have cards. I am willing to ship first if you have a good feedback rating.

The Official Site (http://www.yoururl.com) provides an update tonight on the 60 piece set...

"Star Wars Miniatures has two full sets scheduled for 2005. In April, Revenge of the Sith adds 60 new figures, including key Episode III characters, lightsaber-wielding Jedi and Sith, more Wookiees -- even General Grievous and his bodyguards. In September, the game's Universe expansion introduces 60 more figures from the Original Trilogy era and beyond, and also introduces a big (and we mean BIG) new aspect to the game.

 Each expansion will also be followed by an Ultimate Missions sourcebook, providing new maps and scenarios for Miniature gameplay. Ultimate Missions: Clone Strike releases on March 4, followed in June by Ultimate Missions: Revenge of the Sith, and August by Ultimate Missions: Universe.

Plus, in November be sure to look for the Star Wars Miniatures AT-AT, the most massive addition yet to the Miniatures game."

So who/what is that in the back row, second on the right?  Bad Anakin?

Can't wait to see that AT-AT.  So far, WOTC is one of the few SW licensees who's officially announced any OT product for this year, so I'm at least anxious to get my grubby mitts on that next OT sets of minis.  Keep 'em coming!   8)

Nice pull, Adam!

I've never actually sold any of my minis.  I have a lot more fun just trading them, and am currently trying to rack up a nice little stockpile of R and VR extras to swap for the ROTS minis when they come out.

Got my Aayla today, and Mace should be here tomorrow, so I just need me a Qui-Gonn to polish things off (and a cheap Starter Set)!  No hurry though, as I'm usually looking to "trade up" for the stuff I need.  Soon though...
 
So I assume everyone's in for the ROTS minis in a couple months as well, right?  I don't get quite as excited for the Prequel minis, but I'm still looking forward to them.  Then, after those, it's back to the OT, and some Huges and ships, and AT-ATs, etc.   8)

All I'm after is  a Darth Maul. The only one I can't find in trades. People will only sell it for aroun30-40 dollars in their offers. Way too much for a toy whose going to have bent lightsabers...

Lately I've been using the miniatures in the SW RPG. me and my friends started playing it a few weeks ago. They've been playing D&d for years, wheras this is my first RPG experience. And I must say it is a lot of fun. the scenarios really beat the hell out of the miniatures game.

But if I recall, most of you just collect them anyway.

You guys are nuts, certifiably nuts. 

I was at a comic shop to pick up my Stormtrooper Unleashed and he had these things lying around.  Boxes and singles for sale and this is just not a cheap thing to get into. 

I'll readily admit they looked cool, he had a Vader that looked positively awesome :o and it was relatively cheap, under $20 ::)  I think the highest individual pieces were $35 CAD.   

So I'm left thinking: mini's or 20" Vader statue :P

I have to admit, if I didn`t like playing the game, I wouldn`t be buying these. It would be way to $$$ for me to get them and just let them sit. Although, after buying a few and getting some extras, you can do a lot of trading and keep your
costs down.
Bring on ROTS!

It's odd that WOTC didn't show their ROTS line at Toy Fair, or at least not that I noticed.  Though it does look like they showed some of the Rebel Storm and Clone Strike items though.  Strange.

I'm guessing that's 'cause they wanted everyone focused on their Attacktix line maybe...

Was hoping we'd catch a glimpse of the other 51 minis for the upcoming set.  Oh well.  Soon, I'm sure.

Oy.   :-\



Looks like the guy I had a trade lined up with for the last mini I needed - Qui Gonn - is completely flaking out on me, unfortunately.  So I'm still one short.  Fortunately, I hadn't sent him anything yet, so no loss, other than the chance to finish my CS set.  Still building up my extras to get ready to do some trading for the ROTS minis when they arrive.

If anyone's looking to army build (for gaming purposes, or whatever), and wants to swap their Rares for my commons and/or uncommons, LMK!

New San Hill preview up at WOTC:  (flipping the bird?)

(http://www.wizards.com/global/images/swminis_article_rotspreview4_pic1_en.jpg)

I doubt I'll be pre-ordering ROTS, unless there's a seller with a real good price (who's NOT named NeoToys).  I'll probably just wait 'til things die down a little and the case prices drop, and then jump into the action.  I'm hoping that just one case and a few extra boosters is going to be enough for me, since I've been stockpiling extras from the prior two sets to trade for ROTS.  Speaking of which...

Hey matt, I updated my list over at WOTC. picked up an Aurra sing, Aerial Captain and 4-LOM. been trying to find a Maul if you can help.

My extra Maul isn't actually up for trade right now, Andy.  Sorry.  :-\  I've just been using my lists here at JD as my official checklists, but they're not technically my trade lists like what I've put up at WOTC and Maxminis.  Like I just mentioned above, I'm saving up some extras to trade for ROTS when it comes out, and Maul is going to be reserved for whatever the hardest to find mini in that set turns out to be, in case I don't get one in my case.  Really wish I could help you out.  Hope you understand...

My friend at the comic store is going to be ordering them wholesale, So I'll be getting a fantastic deal. I figured I should just get two right at the start. I don't know quite yet.

Niiiiice.  Sounds like WOTC is thinking about making this a pretty limited piece though, to the point where they're actually warning the gamers to get their orders in on this as soon as they can.  Still no price on it though...

That AT-AT is for the WOTC mini collectors/gamers.

So wait the hell 'til I get mine, and THEN you may have one, if there's any left.

Thanks.

Post by: Morgbug on March 23, 2005, 03:46 PM
So I was down in Indiana and there was jack squat to find for ROTS merchandise :-\.  I ended up in a gaming store and broke down and bought a pack of Rebel Storm (booster pack) for $12.95.  Not sure if it was a good price, but I wanted to see these things, in hand (aside from the bonus version in my unleased stormie). 

They're pretty nice, but they really didn't get me all that fired up.  Certainly not fired up enough to buy anymore, though the game pack (or whatever it's called) with the Vader and Luke were tempting.  My box had the following:

Tusken Raider
Wookie Soldier
Ithorian Scout
Rebel Trooper
Stormtrooper :)
Stormtrooper Officer :D
Sandtrooper on Dewback ;D

I thought that was pretty cool to get three Imperials like that in a single box.  I have to confess that I was tempted for about a day, because I thought that was pretty good luck.  I wanted to score a Vader as well and thought the starter pack would have been the safest way, plus I guess I would have scored another very rare in the mix (or maybe just a rare?).  But I can't complain too much. 

The checklist is nice to put in there too, especially wiht the levels of collectability.  It did a fine job of discouraging me :P  Unlike Colman, I could have lived without a complete set, but seeing that Vader is R/VR, Obi is VR, Palpatine is VR as are many of the other figures I wanted, it was easier to not go into it.  Most of the commons are fairly disinteresting to me as were many of hte uncommons so why bother? 

I'll keep my stormies, but if anyone wants the commons, I'm not at all attached to them.   :P

Post by: JediMAC on March 24, 2005, 12:04 AM
Hello, buddy.   :-*

I'll take any extras you don't want.  If you wanna ditch the Dewback, I may be interested, and could maybe trade you something for it.  We can discuss...

As for price, you paid the exact retail.  Not bad.  Not great either.  Most of the hardcore mini collectors and gamers buy them by the case (12 booster packs) so each pack averages out to only $8 or $9, or thereabouts.

As for Vader, yeah, he's a Rare in the Starter set, along with the (Tatooine) Luke Rare.  They're guaranteed in that set, and then there's an additional 8 random commons and Uncommons in it too.  But there's another "Sith Lord" Vader, who's a Very Rare and only in the boosters (randomly), and one of the toughest ones to get of the bunch.  Runs about $20-$25 or so on eBay these days, I think...  He seems to command the second highest price after Boba Fett, from what I've seen.

What were you doing in Indy?!  Bugs?  A month before you're heading BACK down there?  Weird...   :P

Word on the street is $50 MSRP for the AT-AT.

And Hasbro can't do full-size vehicles at good prices?  My hairy white ass they can't.  :(  That thing's about as big as the Kenner AT-AT sculpt, plus it's brand friggin' new from the ground up, and it still is coming in at $50.

And they can't do a $50 Y-Wing that's full scale?  Yeah...  right.   ::)
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: Morgbug on March 24, 2005, 01:24 AM
My spares are yours Matt.  I'm inclined (at the moment) to keep the Dewback.  Since the bulk of the stormtroopers are commons, I may track them down.  Pity the rest of the starter set is only common and uncommon, I might have still picked it up were there at least something rare in there.  Oh well, more money in my pocket. 

Entomological Society of America - North Central Branch meeting in West Lafayette (Purdue U).  We host in 2007 so I was down to do some shmoozing and that I did.  Lordy but I did consume a large quantity of Killian's Red :-X  So yeah, exact same flights in a month.  Indy has a small airport.

Ok, got some good ones, and quite a few doubles.
Going to do a Demo at the shop tomorrow for any SW fans that come in (That is why I have them to open today, not selling them till tomorrow).
Anywho, I really like the new gameboard, more like a board game style board. Seems pretty sturdy(sp?) and is a good size too!

Hi all,

Here the lists of my haves and wants. All minis are bagged and have stat cards unless noted otherwise.
I ship via USPS Mail and always us Deliver Confirmation. I also ship in BOXES,
not crappy envelopes, that, padded or not, always seem to bend my minis
before I get them.
I would like to stay stateside with my trades, but can trade out of the US for the right deal. I just am hesitant to trade overseas after my last box took
about a month to reach Aus. due to customs! bah... on to the good stuff!
About all I need are VR at this point, I don`t do the army building thing too
much. I pretty much think 1 VR= 1 VR 1R = 1R etc... but can and will wheel and deal for the right trades

I am still waiting on my two cases of ROTS, but did fine at wal-mart with their 3.44 packs. got 11 of them.

Andy, I saw two price tags for the minis on the pegs - $9.96 and the $3.44 one you mentioned there.  But when I rang the boosters up, they were at the higher $9.96 price.  So how'd you manage that lower price?  Was there some kind of difference that I couldn't see?

Just scoped out the full ROTS lineup at WOTC, and am rather less than impressed right now.  Not sure why, but I think the fact that we're getting practically identical Maces and Yodas to the Clone Strike set is one reason.  That's really week.  Some of the VR choices seem a little strange too.  But I'll get 'em sooner or later here!
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: Sithbaker on April 4, 2005, 07:57 AM
I think people who got them for $3.44, that might have been the only shelf tag.

I kinda like this set better than CS, not sure why though...
I thought the same thing about Yoda and Mace. I got a Yoda (at least he`s only
a rare this time) and thought I opened a CS booster!
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on April 6, 2005, 08:35 PM
I read over at WOTC that those $3.44 price tags at WM were a total mistake, and that they weren't supposed to sell anything at that amount actually.  Sounds like they were actually meant to be for the TCG sets, and not "ROTS booster" or whatever they actually called it on those incorrect peg stickers.  Sounds like some lucky people, like Andy, actually tore the pegs off, and took them up to customer service, and scored them at the mistaken $3.44 price though...  8)

Anyway, I wandered into a local gaming store this afternoon, where they sell the boosters for a marginally reasonable $10.99, and decided I'd see if I could "cherry-pick" some of the heavier VRs, like back in the RS set.  I was thinking that with the Grievous Wheelbike, AT-RT, and Chewie, that I might have a shot at getting something good.  So they pulled their 16 or so boosters out, and I started weighing them all.  Only two felt somewhat heavy to me, so I just bought those.  I'm sure a few of you can probably see where this is headed...  Yep, total brainfart.  Forgot all about that fatass Common Yuzzems!  ::)  Duh.  Scored one in each set, of course.  But hey, at least my "weight test" worked.  Sorta.

BUT, I did manage to luck upon the Darth Vader in one of the sets, so it wasn't a total loss.  Pulled young Boba in the other, so that was kinda lame.  But at least I'm off and running now.  Plan on ordering a case here soon, so we'll get my new trading list up and running when I finally get that...
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: Sithbaker on April 6, 2005, 09:12 PM
Yep, Yuzzem is a cherry picker buster for sure. 100% of the box shakers I`ve seen have gotten them and not AT-RT or Grev. Wheel bike (I even tried 2 myself, lol).
Good score on the Vader, I had to trade for one. I pulled a Mace today & have to add him to my trade list now. If all my trades come in (crossing fingers) I will need just the AT-RT and Grev. Wheel Bike to complete my set.

I love the clone troopers in this set, they look great!

Yeah, they had the entire Universe set on display there, including the Rancor, Bantha, Endor everyone, Lobot, Ackbar, and about 55 others I can't remember right now.  Amazing set, with lots of love for the OT, that's for sure.  Just incredible looking stuff.

AT-AT is indeed $50, btw...

Read that its point cost will be 200, and can move forward and diagonal, but not reverse (which makes sense). Also, can STOMP figures in its way! lol
I saw Thrawn there too, with his force stopper parrot on his shoulder.

Brent,

Thanks for taking the pictures, man that AT-AT looks great!  The scale looks to be pretty close to accurate as well.  When and where will this piece be available?

BTW, I dropped you a PM about the Target Giftcard to go with your Target Vader.  I can just drop it in the mail if you provide your address.

Regards,

To all,

I almost forgot.  I came across this site (http://www.usacomicbooks.com/stwamiatwap.html) that has the WOTC AT-AT up for pre-order for $50.77 delivered.  That seems like a very good price.

I'm pretty excited about the new Universe Huge set. Also, here you guys go for pics of the singles.

Singles (http://www.kid4life.com/yoda2/minisfromc3.htm)

Lots of characters and troops.

most noteable (to me anyway) are the Dash Rendar, Thrawn, Xizor, Kyle Katarn, and some yuuzhan vong.

enjoy.

Heh, thanks Andy.  ;)  Yeah, I've just been so backlogged in so many other areas the past month or two, that I've let the action on the minis end slide a bit of late.  Not to mention, 3 of the last 4 guys that I struck deals with over at WOTC wound up never sending their stuff to me, so I've been getting increasingly annoyed with the plethora of morons dealing their wares over there.  Plus, there's all the fighting there too now.  God, that place has changed over the past couple months...  :-\

But I'll be back soon, I'm sure.  I've got a ton of trade loot that I still need to unload, and plenty of catching up to do with the ROTS series too.  So try to keep the crazies in line over there 'til I get back, eh.  :P

For the scale-curious, the AT-AT looks spot-on...  Resources put it at 15m tall, which is inaccurate to even the films, so ignore that...  it's between 20 and 22 m tall in the films, and has many clear shots.

Eyeballing the pictures above (which have minis in them, great!), the AT-AT looks DEAD on in-scale.  It's one of the few things I'm sure I'm going to buckle down and pre-order.

The AT-ST I'm assuming will also then match up to the AT-AT and figures in scale...  Kudos to WOTC putting out some really quality pieces that minis gamers have wanted for YEARS.  Literally decades now.

The problem now is that the Alliance has many ass-whippings coming their way if they don't mount up some armor.  Most minis gamers have been fielding rebel (and Imperial) tanks for years...  Customs, kitbashes, whatever.  Time to bump up those numbers though with AT-AT's ont he move!  :)  Though mini gamers have been using Kenner AT-AT's anyway, but I digress.

That is sweet, thanks for the pics Brent...  I didn't get any good shots of it at the con so your picture more than makes up for it.  You rock man!

Yeah the wizards board has been in hassle as of late. we caught someone with two names, one of them was a scamming name, and he denied it, it ended up beings 6 page mess... ugh.. children will be children.
Me and a few other do our best to keep the order. And curious, but if you remember the names of the people who blew you off at the site, could you tell me.

I've got a whole lot of extras from ROTS
If you're interested, drop a trade list down on me.

as for that AT-AT..
it is slightly underscaled in its dimensions. The height and length ate 13"x15" it should be more around 15"x17" or so. which is a pretty big increase. but Wizards scales all vehicles down a bit. the AT-ST is a bit underscale too as far as I can see in pictures. I think theirs is about 4 to 4.5 inches. should be around 6.25 inches, which would make it in scale.

the scale on the figures is 1/52 (i've done the math before, the wizard board gets weird with questions sometimes) I've given dimensions on a lot of ships before tot hem. If I recall correctly, the hasbro Slave I from episode 2 is in scale to the minis. hehe.

You're welcome Jesse.  Colman was a little ticked at me because I had a press pass, so he actually had the gall to make me work.   ;)  His phone rang and before he answered it, he suggested I head over and take pics of the new stuff.  I knew he'd be on the phone a long time ::) so I figured what the hell. 

For the most part they turned out alright considering they were in the cases.  I didn't get new shots of the newer figures because I didn't know what was new and not new in the display case.  Colman was still on the phone. 

BTW, if anyone has a slew of Imperials (stormies, sandies, etc.) and they're not having any luck trading, I'll buy them from you.  Commons are fine for the most part.  Have to find my lone box for the check list.

Post by: Jesse James on May 12, 2005, 04:09 AM
16.5" high (a hair less) should be the height if the figures are 1/52...  Though their scale seems suspect.  Many are a whole head taller than others.  It's insane with that line at times.

Brent, I too am looking to army build...  I'm trying to build up on the common troops to play under the WEG rules...  I wish they'd whip up a lot more soldiers and just do packs of common troops.   :-\

Thanks, yeah it feels good to complete something.  I had a really cool guy (cjranck) trade me for the last six very rares I needed to complete my set including Fett and Palpy.

Yes, I used cd cases same as how I display my Kubricks inside a glass cabinet.  I think it looks clean.

Can you see my 3 pictures?  I see 3 boxes as if the pictures are not showing in my original post today.  Please advise.

I ordered my AT-AT from them a few days ago, along with a case of 12 booster packs for the upcoming Universe Huge series.  I don't mind them waiting to ship the boosters 'til the AT-AT's ready, since they're both pre-orders anyway.  Shipping was only $14.95 for all of it, making my total $204.45 for everything.  Sounds like a lot, but it's probably the best deal out there...

Wow, that is incredibly tempting, Matt!  Those Huge's look pretty slick, I'd love to get my hands on some of those, even though I haven't really bothered with any of the other minis.

(I did buy the starter set for Rebel Storm, but just didn't seem to get into it.  I think the crazy singles prices and the lack of anyone locally carrying them put a stop to that.  Maybe if the prices cool down I'll go for it...)

I only bought a single pack of Rebel Storm and got three nice pieces out of it.  Tempting to continue, but I really only wanted the Empire pieces, so I managed to stop myself. 

Matt, what are the contents of the Universe Huge series booster packs?  Seeing those larger pieces at C3 proved quite tempting.  I'm just waiting to hear back from Jim regarding the AT-AT, but I may decide to order some more stuff if I like what's in the UH packs.

Yoiks, obviously I'm a little out of touch on the Universe Huge series.  I was under the impression that there weren't any regular/small sized miniatures.

So the Universe Huge boosters have both the "huge" minis and "small" minis?  Based on your list, the following "huges" and "larges" are:

Rebels
08. Luke on Tauntaun (VR/Large)

Empire
12. AT-ST (U/Huge)

Republic
17. Clone Trooper on BARC (U/Huge)
18. Naboo Speeder (R/Huge)
19. Obi-Wan on Boga (VR/Huge)

Separatists
20. Hailfire Droid (U/Huge)
21. Maul on Swoop (VR/Large)

Fringe
26. Acklay (R/Huge)
33. Nexu (U/Large)
37. Rancor (VR/Huge)
38. Reek (R/Huge)
40. Tusken Raider on Bantha (U/Huge)

Unknown/Unconfirmed
48. X1-Viper Droid (R/Huge) - Empire/Fringe??

Perhaps I have some more research to do...

I'm just starting to collect star wars minitures mainly but couple questions about minitures.

1. What are the current rare minis?

2. What will be the next line?
Title: Re: WOTC SW Miniatures (RPG/CMG/Clix)
Post by: JediMAC on August 5, 2005, 01:57 PM
I'll see if I can get you to the WOTC checklist so you can see what the Rares and Very Rares are for the current set.  I assume your talking about the ROTS minis, right?

As for what's up next, that would be the "Universe" set, which includes "Huge" minis like the Rancor, AT-ST, etc, and figures from the entire Saga and the EU.  Can't recall when that's due out, but it might be within the next month here.

I'm also going to merge your post in with the rest of the WOTC miniatures discussion that we have somewhere in here too.  Though the discussion on this line has tailed off here a little bit of late, you'll probably find some other good info in the rest of that thread.  So stay tuned for the merge in a few minutes here...  ;)

(whoops, I see one of our other mods is way ahead of me on the merge there)

I haven't visited this thread in awhile, so forgive me for being way out of it.  This "Universe" set looks like it should be pretty cool.  Seeing the pics of the AT-AT and Rancor, and they both look great.  I don't have any of these (aside from a Stormtrooper that Matt sent me awhile back as a freebie), but it does get a little tempting to pick up some of the OT ones.  Of course, maybe that would be more trouble than it is worth.  Its not like I need another line to collect :).  Just thinking of some of the set ups you could make with these larger pieces starts to make it tempting.  Is there anywhere where I could find a checklist of what is out and/or coming out?  Its probably somewhere in this thread, I just haven't found it yet.  Was there a lot of OT based figures in the "Rebel Storm" packs, or was it more ROTS/prequel based?  Anyways, either way, the upcoming stuff does look pretty cool.

The first set, Rebel Storm, was all OT based.  The second set, Clone Strike, was based on TPM, CW, and AOTC.  The third set that came out recently is all ROTS.  And the next (4th) set coming out is "Universe" which incorporates all 6 films, and EU.

As for checklists, the best place to start (since I can't find mine in here either), is right here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=swminis/article/setlist), over at WOTC.

Thanks Matt, I was just running across those checklists as well.  I realized after my last post that I remembered seeing a number OT characters when these were first released, so I guess I knew there was OT in rebel strike...brain fart, sorry about that.  Thanks for the info though, good to know.  These new larger pieces definitely make this series that much cooler.  I'm sure those of you who have been collecting could have one heck of a display of these.

Yeah, I'm really anxious to get off my lazy ass, and get some of these bad boys set up finally!  Still have to trade a few Rs and VRs from the Sith set and pick up some that I'm still missing, to catch up before the Huge series is released.  But once the Huge set is in hand, these should really make for a nice display with all of the larger pieces.

As for that Jedi Luke mini there from RS, yeah, that's pretty freakydeaky looking!  Elephant Man Luke, I guess...  :-\

Didn't realize you were up to speed on the minis checklists here Jess.  My bad!  Nice work on those.  Just be ready for the Huge set coming within the next month, I think!

BTW, very cool to set those checklists up by both faction, and rarity.  Just the way I like it!  8)

personly I collect both the mini and attcktix and I do enjoy them both.  I only play the mini's but I just liked the look of the attacktix so I had to buy them.  So far for minis I'm missing 1 from rebel, 5 from clone and 12 from revenge of the sith and I have pre ordered my at at and 2 cases of the new set.  For attacktix I think I'm missing 10 but I'm not overly sure yet.  But I do have lots of doubles for the others.

I just don't like that they changed the case from 12 to 6.

Huh?!  Whaddaya mean they changed the cases from 12 to 6?  You mean boosters in each case?  If so, I'm gonna be royally pissed, 'cause I thought I was placing an order for a case of 12 a while back on the Huges.  Sure priced as if it was 12...  Damn, I'm going to have to double check on that.  Weren't the retail prices on the boosters going from $13 up to $20 or so for the Huges?  I thought that was kinda the case.  God, now I'm all confused!  Haven't kept up too well on the line lately, if you hadn't noticed...  :P

BTW, Alexander, I meant to suggest that you stick your WOTC minis trade list in here.  If you want to pimp your Attacktix trade list, you'll want to do it either here (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=8825.75) (in the Attacktix thread) or here (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=7130.0) (in the trading forum), where it'll get seen by your intended audience...  ;)

EDIT:  Whoops, I see you already found that first thread on Attacktix and posted your list there.  Cool deal.  Good luck!

Yep, they come in cases of SIX boosters. I think the D&D huge set was
the same way.

These are shipping next week! WEEEEEE!

I think that if you originally bought a case at the price for 12 booster, the site that you bought it at either:

A).  Will ship you one case at half the price
 
or

B).  Will ship you two cases (equal to 12 boosters) at the same price you prepaid

Matt, you might want to check your preorder and find out what it is...it has been said before that this is bound to cause confusion among collectors and hopefully it won't piss a lot of people off and turn them away from the minis or the game...

I personly need to still buy some.  I'm trying to find the better price kinda thing.  $13 bucks a booster man I wish up in canada the 17.99 for the first 3 sets and I was hearing around the $30 mark for the new boosters.  I really hope that price is wrong.

This better be the case here (no pun intended).  I scoped out my GameOutfitters.com order from a couple months ago, and it's for "12 Boosters - 1 sealed case".  So I'm not going crazy after all.  I definitely PAID for 12 booster packs, since they SRLP on it was $240 (I paid like $153, I think).  So I'd assume they'll just be sending me TWO sealed cases now.  That better be what happens, 'cause I'll be pissed if they chop my order in half and refund me the difference.  I guess I should contact them just to verify...

They're sending my AT-AT too, and I told them to wait on the shipping 'til they could send both together, even if it meant waiting an extra 2-4 weeks, or whatever.  Worth it for just a $12 total shipping cost for all that stuff.  Not to mention, I'm in no major hurry...

I'll drop you a line tonight, or this weekend Zack, on that CS Spider Droid.  I assume it's opened, and been played?  A sealed one would be great, but I could live with an opened one, if that's all you've got.  I'll be in touch...

Yeah, it looks like a really good set.  I was tempted with the minis a while ago but never jumped in.  But this Universe set looks great, especially with the Huges:

2. Clone on BARC Speeder - R
4. Flash Speeder - UC
5. Obi-Wan on Boga - VR
8. Hailfire Droid - UC
13. Acklay - UC
26. Rancor - VR
27. Reek - UC
30. Tusken Raider on Bantha - UC
32. X-1 Viper Droid - UC
33. AT-ST - R

You can tell the Rancor and Hailfire droid for sure, the others are a bit tricky.

Holy crap, those look amazing!  Great to see them altogether like that to really get a good sense of the scale on those Huges.  Granted, I guess I've seen 'em in person a few times at Cons and stuff, but it never quite sunk in, I guess.

Can't wait for my case to arrive now!  Of course, I told them to wait on shipping it 'til the AT-AT was ready to go...  :-\  When's that thing due out?

Matt, the AT-AT isn't going to be released until October (http://www.gameoutfitter.com/Browse_dept_items.asp/categ_id/170/parent_ids/1,48/Name/Star_Wars_CMG_Accessories)... can you wait that long?   :-\

Dammit, I couldn't resist.  I just got my work bonus today, so I ordered 2 cases (12 packs) of Universe boosters.  The cool thing is Game Outfitters is in Duluth, MN, which means they're actually not that far away from me.  Hopefully shipping is faster than the 10-20 working days that they claim it will take.

I pre-ordered it 2-3 months ago, IIRC.  No idea on it's stats though, since I don't actually play the game.  I just collect the minis...  ;)

Just scoped out eBay, and the Rancor and AT-ST are going for some pretty insane amounts there!  $25 - $35ish.

Any idea if the Huge booster packs are supposed to hit retail stores again (Target, WM), like the ROTS ones did several months ago?

No starter set for Universe.

1. Clone Trooper - Common
6. Battle Droid - Uncommon
12. Abyssin Black Sun Thug - Common
19. Guri - Rare
20. Kaminoan Ascetic - Common
23. Nexu - Uncommon
30. Tusken Raider on Bantha (Huge) - Uncommon
32. X-1 Viper Droid (Huge) - Uncommon
36. Dark Trooper Phase III - Uncommon
44. Bith Rebel - Common
46. Dressellian Commando - Common
48. Luke Skywalker on Tauntaun - Rare
54. New Republic Commander - Uncommon
56. Young Jedi Knight - Common

(http://www.jedidefender.com/jwall/pics/IMG_2245 - crop - Minis.jpg)

Holy mother of God.  AT-AT goes for $300 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Miniature-Universe-AT-AT-Walker-Colossal-Gen_W0QQitemZ5235170702QQcategoryZ2537QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on eBay...  Woah.  They said they won it in a raffle at Gen Con, but I'm wondering if there's anything different about it than what's about to be released in just a few weeks.  Or is it a "promo" item like some of the miniature figures have been in the past?  Don't see the guy mention "promo" at all, so I can't tell.  But is that the same insert that comes in the packaged AT-AT box?  If so, I just don't get why someone would pay 10x what these things are pre-selling for, especially so close to their actual release date.  Am I missing something?

Also, the guy says the AT-ATs aren't due 'til next year.  That's not true, is it?  Aren't they coming later this month?  Adam?

Looks like a complete Universe set just got BIN'ed for $400 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Miniature-Universe-Complete-Set_W0QQitemZ5241354883QQcategoryZ2537QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) too.  Damn, these things are going crazy!

Full set for 400? DAMN!
Lets see, Thrawn, Maul, Luke JM , AT-ST are all at least 20 bucks usually.
Bunch in the 15 dollar range, some in the 8-10...
I think 400 is a bit high, personally.

2 More to go! Kyle and Luke JM. SOO Glad I pulled a Thrawn. Have a Maul coming
from a trade, he is the one figure from this set I didn`t see at all (AGAIN!).
I saw about 8-9 cases opened so far, just 2 Thrawn, 1 Luke JM, handful of AT-ST
and no Mauls, oh, only 1 Barc Speeder.. thought that was odd, and 3 Rancor.

Man, I hate to say it, but that sucks Jesse.  You didn't get ANY of the good VRs there...  Damn.  Looks like you've really got your work cut out for you.  :-\

I've been catching up on my ROTS set (while awaiting my Universe cases), and am just about wrapped up with it.  Here's some of my few needs:

ROTS wants:

R2-D2 (VR)
Chewbacca (VR)
Bail Organa (VR)


That's pretty much it.  Kinda dreading the Universe set now, as I've fallen pretty far behind now while waiting for that damned AT-AT (since my Universe cases are shipping with it).  I thought it was due to be released in early October, but now we're looking at November?  Ugh.

NOT TRUE, you only get two regular sized VRs per case, don't feel that bad about your cases.  Two cases isn't really enought to get much of a start.  At least you got Admiral Ackbar, Prince Xizor and Leia together they all bring a lot to the Rebel Faction.  You did get Dr. E. though but at least you only got one of him... I pulled two  :-\.  At this point I would recommend you buy another case and then buy singles.  If you buy more than a case you will probably run into massive duplication problems.

NOT TRUE, you only get two regular sized VRs per case, don't feel that bad about your cases.

Hang on a second here, since I haven't followed the case breakdowns for Universe much, would someone kindly LMK what the ratios are in a case then?  I know in the past, you always got 4 VRs in a case of 12 boosters (for RS, CS, ROTS).  So I was assuming the Universe cases would contain 2 VRs each since there's only 6 boosters to a case now.  If that's true, and Don's saying that they're both "regular sized" VRs, then how the hell does someone pull a Huge VR like the Rancor or Boga?  That doesn't make much sense to me...

Jesse doesn't actually "game" with the minis, which is why I was saying that he got the shaft.  He got most of the lowest in demand/value VRs and Rs there, so he's really going to be screwed in trying to track down the ones that he's missing, since they're all the toughest ones to acquire.
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: JesseVader08 on September 15, 2005, 05:33 PM
Yeah, I was really hoping to get Thrawn and a Rancor, and Vader too of course.

But I was pretty pumped to get the Bantha and Hailfire Droid, and even the Reek and Acklay are very cool.

One thing I'm very disappointed in is the paint jobs on the Clones.  I received 4 of them but only one has a decent paint job on the helmet - the others are very rough.


Hang on a second here, since I haven't followed the case breakdowns for Universe much, would someone kindly LMK what the ratios are in a case then?


Damn, I should have kept closer track of which figures came out of which case.  I just started opening and couldn't stop.  :-\

Those are all just Uncommons though, so they're relatively easy to pull actually.  Huge, yeah, but easy.  OK, I'll stop raining on your parade now...

Hey, no worries.  If it would help ease your guilt, you can send me one of your cases when it arrives.   :P

you only get two regular sized VRs per case

Hmmm.  If that's true, that would explain my 4 VR's - the ones I pulled were Evazan, Ackbar, Leia and Xizor.

Don, you suggested 3 cases to get started, then buy the rest in singles.  What do you other guys think?

Hmmm.  If that's true, that would explain my 4 VR's - the ones I pulled were Evazan, Ackbar, Leia and Xizor.

But it still doesn't explain how someone would potentially acquire a VR Huge though.  That's what I don't get.  Unless it's like the Kubricks, where you get one VR Huge per master case (which has 4 regular cases in it).  But I haven't heard of that either.  I've just never heard of the "only standard sized VR's" in a case before.  It's just not possible, since there's obviously several Huge VRs as well.

Quote
Don, you suggested 3 cases to get started, then buy the rest in singles.  What do you other guys think?

It depends.  I trade like a freaking mad man on several different sites, and with a little patience, can fairly easily turn 12-15 boosters into a complete set.  That's why I only picked up 2 cases (12 boosters) of the Huges.  I might grab a few more boosters though, if I can find 'em for cheap.  I also have a ton of high end VRs left over from the last couple sets to trade for the Universe ones as well.

But I know that most people don't go as agro as I do on the trading circuit, so if that's the case, then I'd say yeah, you'll probably want to go for 3 cases in this instance (but not on a regular release where there's 12 boosters per case).  Just scope out eBay and wait for a good bargain to come along.  Patience and diligence will save you a good $20 per case.

As for buying singles off of eBay, I've never done it.  I hate paying $3-5 in shipping for a single mini (which is what most sellers charge), when it only costs the seller about $1.38 to send it.  **** that.  But there are some good deals to be found though, if you look around a little.  I've seen lots of Rares go for 99 cents, and some of the lower end VRs go for $5 - $9.  If you wait a little bit, the prices on most of the minis will probably drop a little bit, since they're just crazy hot right now with the Universe set just being released.  Granted, you do run the risk of missing out on something like the RS Fett or CS Maul, which run $40 - $50 apiece these days, so be careful.

Good luck Jess! (you're gonna need it)
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: R5Don4 on September 16, 2005, 11:07 AM
Huge rarity is separate with no apparent rhyme or reason just that there will be one huge per booster, maybe one VR huge in every third case, and one R  huge in every other case.  The real shaft cases only have UC huges, I was afraid that might happen to me, but thankfully it didn't.

It is possible to get a regular sized VR in the same booster as a huge VR.  It also happens that you will get a huge VR and huge R in the same case.

I don't know what logic those guys at Wizards were using with this distribution system, it seems like it is either feast or famine a lot of the time.

Personally I got very lucky, from four cases I pulled 3 VR huges and 3 R huges so you never know.

I've NEVER heard of that happening to anyone on any of the 5 minis boards I frequent.  WOTC said ONLY one Rare or VR per booster, regardless of whether it's a Huge or not.  Do you have a link or something to an occurrence like that, 'cause I find that rather unbelievable...

Now that's certainly possible, if you're talking about a case of 6 boosters.  I've definitely heard of that happening.

BTW, does anyone have an extra Zam Wessell lyin' around?  I just ditched mine in part of a bargain deal to nab a ROTS Palpy.  So now my CS set is incomplete again... Holler if anyone has one!

I'd like at least one AT-AT with 2 ST's flanking it...  It's a dream I have for minis gaming, but I've heard bad things about the AT-ST's availability.

Maybe they`ll add it later on, did they have Universe at all? I never checked.

Got Maul on Speeder & Kyle Katarn through trades this week, just need
Luke, Jedi Master and I`m done with this set! He`s on his way, traded an
AT-ST & Destroyer Droid for him.

There's an ad in the back page of Insider #84 about the WOTC AT-AT. Looks pretty damn big, and looks to scale with the 3 3/4 line. Go figure.  :P
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: Jesse James on September 30, 2005, 06:11 PM
The 3.75" AT-AT (Kenner sculpted one) is actually pretty close to the minis scales.  It's been used for years by the West End Games crowd as a reasonable stand-in on the battlefield.

A 3.75"/1:18-ish scaled AT-AT would be like 40" high or so...  roughly.  The WOTC AT-AT is pretty perfectly sized from what I hear, and I've even heard that the detail on it is unbelievable compared to some AT-AT items that are around.  I can't wait to pick up one and I can't even say I'm THAT into the WOTC Minis line.  I know I have to have this though, and I'm desperate for a couple AT-ST's for flanking support too.

I'd like to see the WOTC line expand to a more army-builder friendly line.  At that stage they'll have me pretty well set to quit the WEG scale and go to the WOTC line exclusively for gaming.

Yup, gotta have the AT-AT.  I finally broke down and pre-ordered mine last week.

I was quite surprised to find a listing for the upcoming AT-AT on Amazon.ca (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786937416/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_f/702-1574937-1859221). Strangely, I can find it on Amazon.ca but not Amazon.com.

It's listed for $47.59CDN, which is about $40.79US.

This will be very interesting, because Amazon.ca (CDN site, not U.S.) has never carried toys or collectibles before (to my knowledge).  And after all of the problems people have had with Amazon.com pushing back orders, we'll see if the Canadian operation runs any more smoothly.  After getting raped for customs & brokerage fees for my boosters order from south of the border, I figured I had to try this option...

Warmaster Tsavong Lah (VR)
Admiral Ackbar (VR)
Chewbacca, Rebel Hero (R)

I'm also looking for a few of the Repaint Promos still (Battle Droid, Iktotchi, Human Merc).  Do any of you gamers have an extra of those, or any of the UH minis I need?  If so, drop me a line and I'll let you know what I've got and we'll try to work something out...

Ray, I haven't seen too many actual displays of the minis yet.  I haven't even opened up most of my collection, and I don't think the gamers actually have their's in a permanent display since they're usually gaming with them.  I do know that DaBigKahuna had a pretty decent idea a while back, where he was using multiple CD jewel cases stacked up and staggered in order to make a clear, tiered display.  Looked pretty cool.  Not entirely sure how I plan to eventually display all of mine yet though.

Let us know how you fare on that Clone Strike case!  Obviously the prize from that set is the Darth Maul ($50-$60), with Aurra Sing running in a solid second now.  The Qui-Gon and Mace are also quite valuable.  But that whole set has gone WAY up lately, since it's out-of-print now, and WOTC is saying there's no plans for a re-release of it, like they did recently for the Rebel Storm set.

Good luck!

A few guys stopped at the shop today and we actually played a few games!
Been so long since someone was around to play.

Which one of those guys is you, Adam?  Nice army pix there too...

Im` taking the pics, so no shots of me. I`m not very photogenic anyhow  ;)

I forgot to look, but I think I have a Chewie. I`ll look soon, I swear!

BF77, how much did the case cost ya? Just being nosey (sp?) is all.

All 3 of my AT ST boosters had.. an admiral ackbar, that spider-brain creature from Jabba's palace-(sorry memory's bad at the moment) and baron fel

-that what you need? Don't hate/ alleviate

the booster that surprised me the most was the baron- fel/ATST they're even in the same set and I thought you're supposed to get somebody from each different set..or at least never 2 from the same set( ex. imperials) in a booster!

I believe the with the UH Breakdown, you are guaranteed to get one Huge figure (of RANDOM rarity) and then of the 6 other minis, you are guaranteed 1 Rare or Very Rare, 2 Uncommons, and 3 commons...so it is very possible to get multiple Rares or Very Rares...of the boosters I picked up today, I got a Rancor and Dr. Evazan (the best UH booster I've gotten to date) and another with an AT-ST and the Darth Maul on Speeder (another great  booster)...so I know that it is possible.  Just an FYI...

Good God, those are some sweet pulls there, Zach!

Yeah, I guess you guys are right on those double R/VR combos in some of the boosters after all.  I posted a question about it over at WOTC and asked if it was possible, and if anyone had ever gotten some similar pulls, and a few said they'd had, and that it was indeed possible, though pretty rare.  So I eat my words on that issue, for sure.  :-[

Zach, I'm still waiting for some sweetners that I traded for for you to roll in from some folks, and then I'll get together with your bro and swap.  Still trying to find something for the Ackbar, so stay tuned on that one...

Thanks! I'll definitely let you guys know. Should be getting it in a day or two so I'll probably open over the weekend.

It was about $165 + $15 priority mail shipping. I guess it's not too bad when you look at what they're going for on ebay but still... oh well, I'm really hoping it's worth it! Does anyone know for sure what the breakdown of a case from CS is? How many VR, R, UC & C you get?

Ray, each individual booster pack of 7 minis is comprised of the following:

1 Rare or Very Rare
2 Uncommons
4 Commons

If you get a sealed case of 12 boosters, there should be 4 VRs and 8 Rares in there.  Looking forward to hearing your pulls...  Good luck!

My bro connection"zachmoe" may have some good extras of clone strike so contact him when your hunting for what you need, BOBA

Matt, Do you want the cards with the figs when we trade up? since I know you don't play- if you do, I'll dig 'em up
Did you find anything for Z for the Ackbar? I think I have 3 of those here.( can't believe itsa VR)

Additionally..FA(anyones')I, my brother and I were on the phone the other day and were seriously doubting the possibility of Luke Skywalker being a very rare-well, I'm thinking a rare would be more accurrate. I just can't believe what folks want to bid for this on ebay-
I know I pulled 3 and my bro pulled 2 of him.

Yep, definitely.  Play, or not, still gotta have the cards.  I've got some stuff saved up for Zach, with some more of his needs currently inbound from some trades I made this past week.  I'll get in touch with you guys early next week and we'll figure things out.  Definitely still need an Ackbar, along with Lando and Chewie from UH too.  Only other ones are Katarn and Tsavang Lah, but I haven't heard of any extras of those floating around here yet...

Any of you gamers have the repaint promos from the official monthly league tournaments?  Looking for several of those still as well...

After a ton more trades last week, and some help from JesseVader, Slothus, and zachmoe today, I'm down to needing just one last Universe mini to complete my set: Warmaster Tsavong Lah.

So give me a holler if anyone has an extra lyin' around, and I'll let you know what I've got to potentially swap for it!

Still need a couple more of those promo repaints too...

Nice! After my 2 cases, I still didn`t have a Maul. I had to trade for him, all the
way from Australia! I think I traded a Yoda or Mace for him.
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: JediMAC on November 16, 2005, 07:12 AM
Yeah, nice pull on that Maul there, Ray!  Those things go for a good $50-60 these days, so it's a good thing you got that one out of the way.  Hopefully you pulled an Aurra Sing somewhere along the lines too, since she's the second hottest mini in that set...

So I just secured a trade for the Tsavong Lah that I needed to finish my Universe set off (without buying a single booster from that set).  So that gets me totally complete on all four sets now, though there's still a couple promo repaints that I need to pick up.

As an added bonus, my AT-AT showed up today as well!  I haven't gotten around to opening it up yet, but it sure looks cool so far.  I just pray that WOTC pumps out some more larger scaled vehicles as well, 'cause I love these things, especially when they're to scale like this.  8)

For any of you that play the game - The darktrooper phase III of the universe collection is an awesome piece- super huge firepower-I recently turned the tide of a huge battle with 6 of these- I think I knocked off 2 huges and 21 other characters in 2 rounds while losing only one! Found out that a good weakness is the  Jawas from an earlier collection(if you mix your mini collections on the battlefield). The Jawas have a +advantage(restraining boot) over droids so, naturally they can hit the Darktroopers for 40 damage each if they can hit. Unfortunately they're attack is low. A good strategy would be to combine fire to get hits using Jawas. Fortunately, I recognized this early in a recent game and quickly vaporized the 8 jawas with missile attacks before they had a chance to do ANY damage.

Love the game-lottsa strategy and thinking involved-sure, like other games you can get lucky with die rolls but with out a good strategic plan you'll lose more often than not.

I had a bit of surprise today - I received a shipping notice from Amazon.ca that my AT-AT has shipped!  I totally forgot about it after they told me it was supposed to be delayed until January - I was planning on just cancelling it.

But now that it's actually coming, I can't wait to see it!

Amazon.ca has these?  Hmm.

Surprising, I know.  I never would have expected them to pick up an item like this.

It's $44.87CDN (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786937416/qid=1133015904/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_0/701-0251021-4445960) with free shipping, so a tad over $50CDN with tax.  I doubt we'd be able to get one from the US for that price, after you factor in exchange, shipping and duty.

I agree, not likely we could pull that.  I've seen some on ebay ending around $30 US or maybe even a little less.  But add on shipping and possibly customs fees and you can't match that.  Thanks again.

So I'm bumping this up...  What's the news on this?  You guys all burned out on Miniatures?

If you read a couple weeks ago, there's a spiffy little story by this hot reporter guy at JD *wink wink* dishing out the goods on what's up and coming with the Star Wars Miniatures line...

Can you say Snowspeeder?  I knew ya could!

And lots and lots more of miniature goodness...

I'm shocked at the slowness of this thread now though.  Used to be booming.

Matt, where the hell are you? :)

I bought a bunch of Imperials off ebay from the Rebel Storm line.  I wasted some money trying to get the AT-ST out of the latest line and mostly got crap figures (and crap Huge's) in the boxes I was buying at $20 CAD per.  Ebay proved to be far more enjoyable, paying about $1-2 per imperial that I picked up. 

I noticed on ebay that the AT-ST will be singly packed as well, so there seems to be a trend towards vehicles coming in this line.  I believe the retail price for the AT-ST alone will be lower than a booster pack, or thereabouts.  No sense throwing money away on random crap.

Saw the new AT-ST today, it looks awesome! Comes with 3 troopers and it
is packed in a window box. New paint apps and muzzle fire coming out of
the cannons. MSRP is 19.99 on these.

Damn you Brent, read the front page! :)  I had a good story that's pushed down or in the archives now, but I just posted it like a couple weeks ago and it highlights some of what's coming.

I posted on that AT-ST back in September too with a pic and a comparison pic of it with the old AT-ST too earlier this month.  It's got a blast effect on the guns and a slight pose and paint difference.  Pretty cool looking though and better than the Huge one IMO.

There's a Snowspeeder coming to battle the AT-AT...  Lots of good stuff. 

Here's the Story (http://www.jedidefender.com/newspro/fullnews.cgi?newsid1139047197,26718,)

Champions of the Force Explores EU Characters

April 28, 2006


 

 
Warriors of the light side take on the powers of the dark side of the Force from across all eras of the Star Wars saga in the Star Wars Miniatures: Champions of the Force expansion set, due to hit shelves this June from Wizards of the Coast.

Containing characters from the feature films, video games, novels and micro-series, this set pits Sith against Jedi in battles that could decide the fate of the galaxy. And while players can look forward to some new versions of core characters, the Champions of the Force is the first Star Wars Miniatures set to focus heavily on fan-favorite characters from the Expanded Universe, including characters from The New Jedi Order, Republic Commando, and Knights of the Old Republic I and II. Expect heavy hitters such as Darth Malak, Darth Bane and Jaina Solo to make their miniatures debut in this set.

This 60-figure set will be available in booster packs containing seven random miniatures, including one rare or very-rare figure. Since the new set is only available in booster packs there will be no scenario booklet or similar item associated with the set.

Read preview articles about this set from authors Sterling Hershey and Gary M. Sarli, as well as additional information about the Champions of the Force expansion set on the official Wizards of the Coast site here.

Star Wars Minis: Champions of the Force Set Previews

The Star Wars Miniatures game is an awesome mix of Star Wars action, plastic toys and strategy combat. It turns all the heroes, villains, droids, clones and Jedi from the Star Wars movies into plastic figures and gives them attack and defense ratings so you can battle with them! The next set, Champions of the Force, is all about the heroic Jedi and evil Sith, and it drops on June 9, 2006. We have exclusive previews of figs from this new set right here. Check 'em out and click the pics for bigger images!

Star Wars Miniatures: Varactyl Wrangler Fig Info
Figure: Varactyl Wrangler
Faction: Fringe
Cost: 6
Hit Points: 10

·  Melee Attack - Can attack only adjacent enemies.

Star Wars Miniatures: Varactyl Wrangler Strategy Tips
Keep this guy away from combat! Don't let his grenades fool you, this guy needs to be cowering behind a wall as he gives your Rancor the "Good monster, have a cookie!" treatment. Team him up with a strong commander to boost all your beasts and it's party time! Once all your monsters have been defeated, then have him start tossing his grenades. But, if you ever let him use his normal attack, you need to have your brain checked.

Star Wars Miniatures: Dark Trooper Phase II Fig Info
Figure: Dark Trooper Phase II
Faction: Imperial
Cost: 20
Hit Points: 50
Defense: 16
Attack: +7
Damage: 30
Set #: 48/60

·  Flight - Ignores difficult terrain, enemy characters, low objects and pits when moving.

Star Wars Miniatures: Dark Trooper Phase II Strategy Tips
This great, big, stompy robot is the little bro to the Dark Trooper Phase III from the Star Wars Miniatures: Universe Huge expansion set. This robotic soldier is a solid warrior that does a pile of damage when it hits! The trick is that it's not a great shot and it's pretty easy to take down. To use these goons well, back 'em up with some el-cheapo troops who can provide cover and combine fire to make sure they blast your opponent's troops to bits.

More Exclusive Star Wars Previews to Come!
This is just the tip of the iceberg! We have more preview pics and info of the upcoming Star Wars Miniatures: Champions of the Force expansion set, including a wee green dude and more.

We keep up with the SW Minis news pretty well, I have actually posted some teasers of things to come beyond the CotF line in a newspost a while back that maybe you've not seen yet Soggybottomboy.

Basically, there's more huge on the way including a Snowspeeder and things...  I think it's in this thread.

Matt who was our hardcore Mini guru for a while is on a bit of a haiatus right now...  He's busy at home so he's not online as much working for JD but he's still a part of everything, just a lot less talkative.  If we're lucky he'll be back into this game soon to chat it up.

I personally don't collect the line hardcore.  I try army building, and there's some good news for people who army build too (wink wink), but due to my being poor, haha, I just can't collect the minis like I'd like to.  Hopefully you'll invigorate some life into this thread.  We need some more minis talk for certain.

Yeah, Doug and I talk/work on customs almost every day.  He is currently starting to think up a way to make the Republic Drop ship from the Clone Wars cartoon series.  The one that drops troops on the planet that Anakin fights Asajj on.

Myself, I have a Geonosis arena in process for the miniatures game.  I am in the paint app process and should have it playable in another couple of weeks.

I'll link you when I'm not at work and it's blocked.

I've been tinkering with this .opt program lately for ship scratch building...  It's a little hard to explain but it rips .opts from games and you can basically get mesh or skinned profles and things of them.  Gives you some good imagery to work with to make new ships...  I know the Republic Drop Ship is somewhere online in .opt format to use... 

I was just looking over plans for a Stormtrooper Transport myself...

I worked with Doug a bit at C3, we had a fun time...  i'm supposed to be heading out to Columbus for the WSMI tour...  Hopefully get to talk to Doug while I'm out there a bit, and maybe run into you.  I'm just a hop skip, and bit of a jump out here in Pittsburgh. :)  Should be a typical dull drive out 70, haha, but worth it for the show I think...  I can get some good photos of props for future projects I figure.

Did you catch the front page stuff on the new minis starship game?  I'd hear a bit on this and reported on it back in February.  This game's sounding interesting, especially if the "relative scale" is really accurate...  It'd make for an impressive looking game with tiny fighters and huge ships like SSD's...  Should be interesting to see the minis though, and how they do it.  I mean I could see really tiny fighters, and then HUGE craft like the SSD's and then a mid-size that encompasses the more common capital ships and such.  Ships have such varying sizes though that it'll be interesting to see how they do it and keep stuff in-scale if that's the plan.

There's huge variances between snubfighters, Corvettes, Frigates, Mon Cal Cruisers/ISD's, SSD's, and the like.  That's a minis game I may pick up from the beginning.

I'm intrigued with the Starship Battles but until I actually see some pictures I'm not getting too excited.  This could be really REALLY cool or it could totally flop... only time will tell....

Yeah, the Starship game should be col.  I plan to get it.  Too cool to pass up good ships in a good scale, display or for playing.

I love the new Sith Bell Hop preview and the DTP1 preview we got last night.  They are coo pieces.

Post by: Jesse James on May 22, 2006, 04:01 AM
Yeah it'll be a flop to me personally if they crap out on scale...  I'm ok if fighters are absolutely TINY miniatures.  Like smaller than a figure.  Anything to keep the scale right in my book.  It'll suck if the SSD is half its appropriate size to accomodate larger "small" minis like fighters and such.

This is what makes me curious about the Starship game, as the SSD is big even in its mistake "official" dimensions.  An actual scale one would be 17.8 km long or so...  Dwarfing other capital ships, it'd be a playing field unto itself almost I'd think.  Gaming with miniatures, to me at least, was always about having a realistic battlefield layed out...  Scale of a tank was matched to a trooper on the field and visa versa.  I just dread this game making concessions on some craft's size then because starships can get outrageously huge.  Of course, the SSD is kind of on the far end of large ships of course, but I'd still prefer scale or don't do an SSD mini.

Yeah, I am pretty hardcore.  I know Matt.  We've traded and met at C3.

I am all over the WotC forums, big time trader and promo guru.

Hey Brian!  Sorry, I've been a bit crazy busy with real life stuff lately, and rather MIA in the forums here for a while (and am now heading outta the country on Tuesday for a month as well), but I wanted to pop in here and welcome you (again), especially to the WOTC thread here.  Don't forget that you know Jeff (pka Nataku) around here too, from your ol' Trade Fed days.  ;)

Despite the plethora of EU, I'm getting anxious to nab that COTF set next month when I get back, but my lazy ass still hasn't re-acquired the Leia RH and Lobot minis from UH, that someone sent me that supposedly got lost in the mail.  Annoying going into the next set without polishing off the previous one!  :-\

I've fallen way far behind on the promos too, and that's sucks even worse.  I probably don't have any time to ponder a swap right now, but shoot me a link to your WOTC trade list and I'll take a quick looksee before we go.  My list hasn't been bumped in ages, but it should still be accurate at WOTC (if you sort by user you can probably find it fairly easily).  Anyway, good to have you in here!

I'm anxious to see this Starship lineup as well.  Bummer to hear they won't be in scale with the regular minis line, but obviously that wouldn't be possible if they're including some of the huge capital ships, which it sounds like they are now.  But hopefully they'll keep pumping out more ships in the regular minis line too, 'cause those are great.  The all-encompassing lineup ranging from OT to Prequels to EU to total background characters to in-scale ships, etc., makes the minis line really second to none in my book!  Just need a few actual "playset" type of things and we'd be all set (and no, I don't count the little layout things you guys use when gaming).  I want the real thing!  (I don't game with them, if you recall...)

I wonder if it will be 'HUGES' for the SSG's and capital ships are mid-size while regular fighters are 'figure' sized? If that be the case then I'm in. I'm always in for whooping my bro again at another WOTC game!

Can't wait for champions to hit! Like usual, I'm sure I won't be able to get any very rares :P.
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: Jesse James on May 22, 2006, 08:14 PM
From what I'd gathered, that'll be somewhat how it is, but the Starship game is a WHOLELY separate game too, not really affiliated with the miniatures battles game in any way.

For scale purposes, a Super Star Destroyer (which is said to come in the starter kit) is 17.6 (I think) Kilometers long...  Imagine if that was to-scale to the miniatures?  Yowza. :)
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: soggybottomboy2469 on May 22, 2006, 11:27 PM
Great to hear from you Matt.  Sadly, I just had a Lobot pass through my hands recently, or I'd hook a brutha up!  I'll be on the look out for those 2 in my pursuits, and maybe I'll hook you up in the end.  Only thing I have are a ton of extra promos and an UH Hailfire Droid.

I'm getting tons of CotF minis, so when you get back, if you fall behind, I should be able to hook you up, as well.

One of the current projects I am putting the finishing touches on for 3D terrain is the Geonosis Arena.  It's pretty good scale to the minis, should turn out nicely.  After that, I'm on to creating some more 3D terrain with dental plaster and resin, hopefully creating a garden of stone-like statues and using the new TSC mini holos an iluminating garden too.  After that, I am going to make a mini scale CR-20 (Republic Cruiser) as seen in the Clone Wars cartoons on Yavin.

I`m burned out on the minis (for now anyway). The fact that there is no one
here to actually play is a big part of it. I have all of them so far (minus promos and such), so it`s really difficult to give it up completely. Maybe once they are released
it will pump some life back into it for me.

That same idea got me to clean out the basement a year ago and sell off a bunch of old stuff nobody I knew wanted.  Turned the sales into minis purchases and completed the sets.  Felt like free money and didn't care so much about spending too much on one mini as the stuff I sold was just sitting in storage.  The new set looks great overall and should allow the old ones to dip in price a bit as everyone is more excited about getting the latest.  I'm sure I'll end up with extras to trade when I get my three cases.

My case is set to arrive Tomorrow, but I am pretty upset that the contents will be clustered.

Check that out here! (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=649877)

You can essentially buy a pack at your LGS and based upont he Rare you know exactly what else is in the other boosters.

I picked up 9 boosters so far

I pulled some good and Bad. I'm not too big with the Clone commanders.

Commander Gree x2
Commander Cody
Mas Amedda
Exar Kun
Darth Bane
Darth Maul
Snowtrooper with E-Web
Bariss Offee

But in any case all the figures are really nice except the Sandtrooper who's head is a marshmallow. The other figure is the Jedi Guardian for Old Republic.

I thought the clustering might be good.... I bought 20 Cases for my local collecting group and was getting 4 of them....   1 guy got 3 cases and got a complete set.   I opened 1 case and it had Malak, Basilla, Jacen and Luke.... I openeded the 2nd case.....  Malak, Basilla, Jacen, Luke....  EXACT same rares...I was like... ok... 2 out of 4 the same.. I can deal.    Opened the 3rd case... Yoda/HK/Jaina/Ulic with at least a diffrent rare set.   I was able to trade a set of 8 rares with one of my buddies and now I have all the rares....  just 4 VR's left to go.   I dump the boosters from case #4 on the table and grab one at random.... Jacen Solo!   I couldn't believe it!   Based on the evidence from everyone elses cases, I was SURE this was another repeat cluster.   I couldn't bring myself to open it right then... 3 of the EXACT same cases?  no freakin way!   So... after Four cases... or .. 1 case cluster and 3 of another, I'm still 4 VR's off... Darth's Vader, Nihilus, Bane and Exar Kun.     I DON'T like this distribution.....

I do still like the distribution method - it is great for out of the box play.  I opened my two cases and got the exact same Rs and VRs in both.  Rather disappointing, but I guess it encourages trading.  Should have the dupes ironed out in the next couple days and have close to a full set with only two cases and some loose boosters.  I don't think they can do it the same for BH since it is a huge set and only 6 boosters per case.  I do like getting every uncommon and three of every common guaranteed per case though.

So it looks like the COTF set isn't hitting retail stores (like Target) like the previous sets did?  Or are they just selling out real quick everywhere?  I guess I'm not so worried about jumping on COTF so quickly since it's so EU heavy, which isn't really my thing.  I'll get 'em eventually, but probably not for a little while still...

Walmart.com is listing them instock ($10) and Target ($13) shows release date of 7/25.  I had heard the big boxes will be a month or more behind for all the rest of the sets, too.  Only the gaming stores got them for the regular release.  Can't get unopened cases from the big guys either.

GameOutfitter still have the best price on cases for these things?

IconUSA - $90, GameOutfitter - $95, CoolStuffInc - $95,  CCGArmory - $97, GatheringGround - $110  (these are the main ones I know of online - sorry if I missed someone's favorite)

You didn't miss anything, at least not in the past several pages.  But we were all posting our trade lists earlier on in this thread, so feel free to do the same in here as it might generate a little more interest (and views) than just in the classifieds section.

Unfortunately, this thread's tailed off a bit of late, as interest in this line from the JD'ers has waned a little this year.  I still haven't gotten into the COTF line yet myself, but when I finally do in the next month or so, I'm sure I'll be adding in my trade list as well.

The COTF line really looked nice at SDCC last month (only time I've seen it all in person), and the Bounty Hunters set is shaping up even better, so I'm sure folks' interest in these will bounce back up again soon when that next set hits, since it's got a lot more OT (and Prequel) offerings than COTF did.  Really looking forward to it.  Nice lookin' Skiff and Snowspeeder in there, for sure!

Still haven't seen the COTF boosters yet at retail though...

I don't really understand that statement since the way I read it, it sounds like your asking the Q to folks then answering for them with a statement in the beginning.
Assumed authority?

Even though you asked 'only to collectors who aren't into them'- I am into them and I just want to answer here to provide insight.

These WOTC miniature pieces are 'gaming market' first and ' collectible market' second. What this means is that I can definately tell you that this is very popular in the gaming community. My brother and myself have visited several sites where these pieces are traded, swapped, sold and the games themselves played online. Not to mention all the 'gaming nights' at local comic books/gaming stores. These aren't nearly as popular with the SW collectible community. Here at JD it is primarily a SW collectible community and..as you can see and not surprisingly, there certainly isn't a large representative number of folks posting about SW Miniatures in here.

Myself I like these for 2 reasons ..I think they're cool looking(I'd argue better and certainly more variety than the 'unleashed battle packs') and I also love to play the game(my brother and nephew finally beat me last month and now I'm 22-1 against them). The game itself is not complicated if you don't care about winning/losing. If you like to win though, there is tons of stategy possibilities with these sets. What I like is how WOTC effectively utilizes the SW story to introduce stategy elements to the gameplay-- they do their research from the Saga AND from comic books and novels for EU pieces. This creates alot of fun and replayability win or lose.

I believe that Amount of different sets that are out and the fact that even more are announced help me to understand how popular these are. I rarely see the boosters 'sitting' in stores--when I do, they are not there the next week. For instance, I know a couple Hobby stores in my area that typically get 30 boosters right at the initialization of a new line and sell 20 in the first couple days then are sold out in less than a week. While a typical 'booster' pack will be 15-20$, Ebay rates for VR's can be 20-50$..for just a single piece!

They are very popular though and being as this is a SW collectible site these sets simply aren't gone gen-up alot of feedback here. I think with all the Sw collectible product on the market these days it certainly has alot of folks 'scaling back' --I definately can see an effect here on this thread. Gone are the typical non-movie year days ::).

I still don't understand how you can ask that Q though.... Think about it...you're asking folks who aren't into them  to tell you what they think of them. ?! :-\

Are you trying to gen-up a 'con' response? With a Q like that..my guess is you'll get only negative responses. Did you want this?

I don't really understand that statement since the way I read it, it sounds like your asking the Q to folks then answering for them with a statement in the beginning.
Assumed authority?

Even though you asked 'only to collectors who aren't into them'- I am into them and I just want to answer here to provide insight.

These WOTC miniature pieces are 'gaming market' first and ' collectible market' second. What this means is that I can definately tell you that this is very popular in the gaming community. My brother and myself have visited several sites where these pieces are traded, swapped, sold and the games themselves played online. Not to mention all the 'gaming nights' at local comic books/gaming stores. These aren't nearly as popular with the SW collectible community. Here at JD it is primarily a SW collectible community and..as you can see and not surprisingly, there certainly isn't a large representative number of folks posting about SW Miniatures in here.

Myself I like these for 2 reasons ..I think they're cool looking(I'd argue better and certainly more variety than the 'unleashed battle packs') and I also love to play the game(my brother and nephew finally beat me last month and now I'm 22-1 against them). The game itself is not complicated if you don't care about winning/losing. If you like to win though, there is tons of stategy possibilities with these sets. What I like is how WOTC effectively utilizes the SW story to introduce stategy elements to the gameplay-- they do their research from the Saga AND from comic books and novels for EU pieces. This creates alot of fun and replayability win or lose.

I believe that Amount of different sets that are out and the fact that even more are announced help me to understand how popular these are. I rarely see the boosters 'sitting' in stores--when I do, they are not there the next week. For instance, I know a couple Hobby stores in my area that typically get 30 boosters right at the initialization of a new line and sell 20 in the first couple days then are sold out in less than a week. While a typical 'booster' pack will be 15-20$, Ebay rates for VR's can be 20-50$..for just a single piece!

They are very popular though and being as this is a SW collectible site these sets simply aren't gone gen-up alot of feedback here. I think with all the Sw collectible product on the market these days it certainly has alot of folks 'scaling back' --I definately can see an effect here on this thread. Gone are the typical non-movie year days ::).

I still don't understand how you can ask that Q though.... Think about it...you're asking folks who aren't into them  to tell you what they think of them. ?! :-\

Are you trying to gen-up a 'con' response? With a Q like that..my guess is you'll get only negative responses. Did you want this?

Thanks for the input Darth Slothus.  Sorry to confuse you with my question.  Clearly you are into them, and that's great. 
I'm after the perspective as someone that doesn't collect/play them.

I've been collecting Star Wars forever and have always tried to keep myself in check (limiting myself to a thousand dollars or so rough budget a year ::)), especially with everything available in the modern lines.  With SWM, however, I find myself preordering cases, buying singles, anytime anything is released.  To the point where I find it being my primary collection focus.  I always thought buying a case of 3 3/4 Figures would be the way to go but I never brought myself to actually do it, but with the minis it is just a non issue it just happens.

I'm soliciting opinons here, because it is not focused on minis, but Star Wars collectables in general, even though someone who isn't into them probably won't read this thread, and it really isn't enough of a topic to warrant a thread on it's own.

I don't collect Master Replicas/Side Show/ Code 3/ Gentle Giant/ Attackix but I have opinions about them.  I'm just curious as to what Star Wars Minis looks like to people in the Star Wars community who are not part of the Gaming community.

So any lurkers in this thread want to chime in?

Do you think they are stupid?  Do you think they are lame?  Like the minis hate the fans?  Do you think they are cool but just can't bring yourself to get hooked on another line?  Do you pick up the occasional mini, except for those expensive Rare/Very Rare ones?  Do you think you might like them more if they were better painted/ sculpted?  Do you find yourself not seeing what all the fuss about a board game is for?   Do you think that there are just better things to spend your collecting dollars on?

I'd just like to point out that we called a LOT of the minis being debuted here lately, and we called them quite a few months ago. ;)  Good to know my sources came through ont hat...  Most recent was the Basilisk War Droid and Snowspeeder...

I really wish this line wasn't as much a collectible focused line but rather just a more easily obtainable line.  I'd love to not only collect and play the game (I'd play old style minis battles though, not the new rules which I find lacking), but to really do something special with building battlefields and everything for the minis like small dioramas. :(  When a mini you want sells for $25 though I just have a hard time justifying it.  I keep up with the line just reading up on it but I just can't collect it.

Picked up Talon Karde for the Bounty Hunters set last weekend. Unfortunately, I still need 5 rares/Super Rares still :(. I still need Jango Fett, baby Krayt Dragon, and a few others. I ended up with a ton of extras that my brother is now trading/doing deals with online at other miniature forums. A really nice set overall; I played against my brother 2 weeks ago and I really like the new characters alot. Nym is my favorite--he's a badass--grenades 40 type of badass.
His card is topped off full of attacks, commander effects, special abilities ect ala Boba Fett's and Vaders' cards.

Thanks for sharing that Jesse.  That is exactly the kind of honest answer from someone who doesn't collect it I was looking for. I felt the same way before I got hooked.  You can pick up minis for a lot less if you wait  and watch the marketplace.    Most minis in the Rebel Storm set are selling for much less than they were two years ago, mostly because the set has remained in print the entire time. 
My mindset has shifted so much so that I now can't bring myself to buy regular Hasbro 3 3/4" figures or vehicles because they now feel  like a total rip off, especially now that it is perfectly clear to me that the whole bottom didn't fallen out of the modern Star Wars collectible after market, there really never was one to begin with.  That might sound weird but it's true.  I just find more value in spending $20 getting a box of 12 to 15 mini's than in spending that same amount and getting two regular figures that I'm going to keep carded.  The real kicker though is that WoTC is owned by Hasbro so I'm still giving Hasbro and Lucasfilm all of money, just on a different line.
Oh well, I've rambled on long enough.  Back to playing with my minis.

Hey everyone!

So- are you all excited about the "new" game/set coming out?   I've already place a pre-order and can't wait to see more details about them as WOTC releases them.   I'm a littled ticked that the set went from 40 ships to 60 but my guess is that WOTC decided that the potential for a follow on for the prequels might not take so they added 20 prequel ships to the initial set.   

I'm just gonna have to wait and see- I expect to like the game as much, if not more, than the minis game.

And as for Bounty Hunters- I REALLY like the set.  I've always been a bigger fan of the "fringe" characters (esp Aliens) than either the Rebs or Imps and the set definitely feeds the fringe hungry mindset I have.    Anyone have an extra Boba Fett for trade?

I'm a bit excited about the Starship Battles game...  We actually broke that news here at JD MONTHS and MONTHS before the other sites even were aware there was a ship-based game on the way...  I had some preliminary details on it at the time but it's really cool now seeing the final product in some form.

I'm probably going to TRY getting the Starship game since the rules seemed so dumbed down that games will go super fast, and also I love the space battling a lot...  Pus it's a separate single line unto itself, so I'm sorta able to get in on the ground floor of it. 

I really also liked seeing the way they opened up the game with not just a random MC ship but giving us a Star Defender from the EU to match the Imperial's mighty Executor Class...  It was cool to see because earlier model MC Cruisers couldn't match it...  It's neat seeing them keeping a rebel counter that really does MATCH the Imperial ship. 

Anyway, I'm pretty pumped to actually get into that game...  Like I said, I can't really justify the regular game, right now anyway, so this'll be something nice to tide me over I think.

Glad you're excited about this Jesse!  I think it'll be cool and different enough from the minis game that I'll enjoy it too.   I read through the online rulebook and it seems simpler in some ways but more complex in others.   Tactics are going to be key.   I wish they'd just stuck to OT ships and kept the set to 40 instead of throwing in Prequel ships.   Probably have all the Jedi Fighters plus ARC-170 and some other Clone Wars stuff.

Oh well.. I'm still burning another hole in the wallet....  my girlfriend is gonna go nuts.. I'll just have to get her hooked on it.

Yeah the inclusion of prequal-era stuff is...  disappointing.  I don't like mixing generations of stuff...  Unless it actually is something that carries over like Juggernaughts or whatnot.  I mean I can see a squad of ARC's making it into a Rebel squadron, but I can't see JSF's really mixing in well, or whatever.

They should've really focused on Classic era stuff, including Classic EU, and left the prequals as a future expansion of the game if it sells well.

I got to see some of these recently...  I'm mixed. 

The warping really pisses me off...  I loathe plastic minis, plastic pre-painted are even worse, but the way some of the ships turned out just looks horrible and I've heard that straightening them isn't terribly simple either (IE: heating them up isn't always working, they're just really shoddy quality).

The bigger ships sound like there's some real nice ones.  Plus the sculpts are of ships never seen before sometimes...  I'm thinking I may collect just some pieces from the game but not the whole game.

That coupled with some really negative reviews of the gameplay are kind of stealing the wind from my sails here...  The SW Minis line has a lot of ups and downs it seems.  I may go back to just putting this whole game on hold and later picking up what I want in some bulk and ignoring the rest of it.

I hear ya... I pre-orderd 4 cases of this stuff and while I'm mostly please with the ship models, that's about it.  The class 4 starfighters definitely bother me-  and it's really just with the OT ships too- X-Wings, B-wings, TIEs that have the warping issues.. it's like they tried to give the ships turning or action poses and totally muffed it.  The fact that the Map is so plain is also a detractor-  space and planet on one side (Tatooine or Coruscant).
It's neat to have the Wild Kardde, Ventress's ship, the Virago, Grevious' fighter, and others though.. some of them are just awesome.... and some aren't.

While the CMG started as a collectors thing and turned into having a fun playability as well.. this is just gonna be a collection methinks.   I'll play it a few more times with differnt ships just to be sure... but my gut tells me this is going on a shelf somewhere.

Its just like Hasblo... some pieces have stellar sculpts/paint jobs, some are quite lacking.   I've ordered the new set and am just hoping that that Han get's changed....

For prepainted, most of them are not too bad.  Faces always seem to cause them problems.  I have seen some repainted ones that look incredibly better.  What I've seen of the Alliance-Empire set, the Han is more the exception than the rule - they look pretty darn good.

On the issue of painting quality in WOTC minis, I'd have to say I'm more torn then ever.

I just purchased 5 boxes of these and some like the Boba Fett and Yuzzan Vong look awesome while many others looked poor like the Aurra-Sing and Luke. Even the DST looked horrible as well-despite his poor paint job, he had extra plastic sticking up on his helm that wasn't removed by a sculptor and instead painted over as well--lame ::).

Then again, I saw some that Matt had and they looked decent. Well, since I only have 35 figures, I'll withhold judgement for now. From what I've seen so far, there's a drop in paint quality over the other WOTC SW lines.

WOTC was bought by Hasblo in Sept 1999 around the same time Lucasfilm took away the license from Decipher.   Then we got the "new TCG" and so on and so forth.    :'(

I am not just 4 Very Rares short of a set for these (yes..

Least favorite sculpts:   ALL 3 Han's, Leia (face worse that POTF2!), Mara, and Aurra are just terrible with the face sculpts.

Anyone got any Very Rares for trade?

More painting anomalies with these pieces...in this Alliance and Empires set.

Looking at my two Aurra Sings; One is really white skin, the other is dark grey skin. Very noticeable difference.

I read somewhere(was it the Minis site?) that the initial shipments on these will have all characters with square bases different from other WOTC SW sets that are usually round. However, later distribution of this set will contain characters with the more normal round bases. ::) They attribute the square base towards a 30th anniversary salute/knod---not sure I see how a different base type gives a knod towards 30th AV though ::) :P.

I admit I was thrown off at first by the square base design :-\.

Info only- for those that didn't know this is a 'refresher set' that includes 2 Mini's per 'booster' and retail was $5+. This set is meant to give folks a chance at figs missed from other sets..there are 24 total different pieces to get(12 are VR or R's).

They are very small on cardback with a 'Vader Helmet' blister hiding the 2 random included pieces.
I noticed them last week-my shocker was that they are at WM- a store I haven't seen mini's since ROTS.

Are the mins in this just repacks from Rebel Storm or from some other sets as well?

Frankly, you'd think people would be better off buying 7 minis in a Rebel Storm booster from a comic store for $14

Now this thing is cool!  (hopefully the Speeder's windows look better though)

Almost makes me want to grab a couple, one to open, and one to keep sealed.  Of course, that would entail me having to go back and do the same with the prior AT-AT and AT-ST, which I'm not too overly keen on doing.

I'm still in dire need of catching up on the BH and COTF sets, since I pretty much just skipped those releases out of sheer laziness.  Doing better on the Alliance and Empire set though, and may even be up for some minis trading again soon (I know I've got an extra VR Boba Fett from that set for sure).  Here's the Force Unleashed boosters from RS too:

Interesting.  I thought all 60 of these might just come from the game, but fortunately it looks like they're going to mix in some regular movie stuff too, based on the Dagobah Luke picture there.  Anyone keeping tabs on what's coming (rumored) from this one?

Pretty sure that was one of the older monthly league tournament Promos, as it did have the "Promo" logo on it, just nothing about it being specific to SDCC.  I'm so far behind on all the promos now that I may ditch all the ones I have so far.  Just way to hard to get when you don't actually "play" the game, but just collect the minis, like me.

Matt, do you know the contents of that Hoth pack? I can't tell from the pic what may be behind the left packaging window(Imp's side). They would have been smart to include the HTF snowtrooper w/E-Webb blaster; I hope it's in there.

A cool set indeed ...a way for folks to pick up VR and R figs (tauntans, vader, obi-spirit ect) if they couldn't get 'em before.

Is this available at retail or etailers?

Well, it says that there's 17 pieces included in it, and we can only see 13 of them by my count (including the AT-ST and Snowspeeder), so that means that there should be another 4 Imperials hidden in that front left corner still, one of which is supposedly a Holographic Veers.  I've got to assume the E-web Tripod Cannon thingamabob has got to be in there too, since it's already been made and would be needed to offset that Rebel Laser Cannon there.  Probably that, the Holo Veers, and a couple more Snowtroopers hidden in there to round things out, I'd imagine.  Or perhaps an AT-AT Driver?  I can't even recall right now if they've ever made one of those before...  Have they?

No idea where it'll be available yet.  Hopefully retail though, like the AT-ST was.  Much easier (and usually cheaper) that way.

Anyone up to starting a thread for trading for minis?
I STARTED ONE:
http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=16092.0

The coolest part and the worst part is the random mix you get. i recently have started collecting and have a lot to catch up on. I have a nice pile of extras including rares & semi rares plus others. I would love to get some stuff I need while getting stuff I missed. I am looking for a lot of commons & uncommons alike.
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: JediMAC on October 9, 2007, 11:24 PM
I'll check your trade thread out to see if there's anything of interest in there for me.  I'm long overdue in updating mine, so I'll try to do that soon!  In the meantime, drool over this Force Unleashed minis poster:

(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/7-06/TFU_bg.jpg)

Some cool looking stuff in there for sure, and I'm excited to see that this whole series won't be solely dedicated to TFU, and that they're still sneaking in some nice OT stuff.  No idea why they're essentially re-releasing the same Bespin Escape Leia as in the Alliance & Empire line from a few months ago.  That's bizarre.  Nice to see Amanaman in the mix finally!  That Hoth battle sure is rounding out pretty nicely as well.  8)

Thanks to jedi_master_sal for the pic!

More than glad to help.

Oh and here are some hi-res of a few of the minis in this set.

Has anyone seen this pack before? It looks like a new target exclusive.

I pointed that set out several posts up, Paul.  But yeah, it just hit stores this week.  I found the Target exclusive one you've got pictured there (w/ the bonus Bounty Hunter booster attached), at an Arizona Target several days ago for a whopping $60.  I'd definitely be interested in knowing if they'll be hitting elsewhere for cheaper though (w/o the bonus booster).

Definitely a cool set though.  The nice window box setup really makes me want to grab a second one to keep packaged.  Argh.  I actually bought two of them, and am going back and forth on whether to return one.  I hate annoying (expensive) collecting decisions like this...  >:(

I just found this at Irvine Target. $60 is really expensive for this set.
Title: Re: WOTC Star Wars Miniatures
Post by: Squid89 on December 5, 2007, 11:15 AM
It's a Target Exclusive in the US.  The rest of the world got theirs from various dealers, but the shipping comes out to be the same cost in the US.  The booster is the only way it is available through Targets.  Expect some markdowns after Christmas as Target clearances their shelves.  I did break down and get one at full price so as not to miss out, but would like another if the price goes low enough.  Consider it $20 for the booster and $40 for the set and it's not so bad ;)

WOTC SW minis are amazing, they have evolved in desing, scale and paint job. In some cases we will see the first appearnace of a sw character (EU or movies) on the miniature line, this would caliber his or her definitive launch into a Hasbro 3 3/4 action figure.

Post by: R5Don4 on April 26, 2009, 08:40 PM
Wow, I just read this whole thread from the very beginning.  Fun trip back in time.  It was interesting how soon after the release of the first set the buzz about the Huges and the AT-AT began.  It was also interesting how quickly the thread evolved from excitement about the assortments, dismissal of the game, fears about insane aftermarket prices, and impossible to find chases and trying to complete sets in the shortest amount of time for the least amount of money.  I can see many collectors were turned right off after Universe with the 6 Booster cases and all Faction sets.  For what it is worth the sets are now only 40 pieces and you will get 36/40 from one case, with only 4 VR's missing.

Many people were only interested in OT minis and wanted to steer clear of the EU and PT ones.  Well, for any collectors that were waiting for rock bottom prices here is a check list of what to look for.

As noted on the front page, it is the end of another Star Wars Miniatures line.  Wizards of the Coast announced today that they would not be renewing their Star Wars license and the last expansion set would be released in June.  The fans are planning on keeping the game itself going by redoing the stat cards similar to what fans of the Decipher CCG have done, but that's it for the miniatures.  Look for rock bottom prices on your favourite Star Wars characters over the next year.

I was inspired by the Collect All 92 Feature to match up the vintage run with the corresponding minis.  I was surprised with all the minis Wizards made, that there are so many holes in the list.

Isn't the closer analogy to compare WotC to WEG? :)

I was just thinking about WEG's minis the other day.  I have a pretty complete collection of them actually, but not quite there.  Don't know if it ever will be.  WotC probably has similar holes to both though, actually, since WEG pretty much knocked out a mini for any vintage figure and then some.

You might have something there Jesse.  Is there a database checklist of the WEG anywhere?  For that matter, how many minis did WEG make?  I wouldn't mind making the comparison.

I'm not sure if there's still a database or not.  You'll have to google it I think, but there used to be.  I forget exactly how many WEG minis now exist...  They of course made oodles of duplicates, but most vintage figures had a WEG mini to match.  There were certain things they didn't do like the Max Rebo Band and Blue Snaggletooth.  They knocked out a ton of stuff though, and made a lot up on their own as well.

I found this list right away, however it unfortunately lists them by pack, while the packs included 3 minis per set.   :-\  Not too helpful.  I know I'm missing a couple packs and some of the boxed sets, but not a lot.

Check out Hem Dazon by the way Don...  A lot of people think Hasbro made up Hem Dazon's look, but actually it was WEG who did it.  That was something I tried telling folks back when he came out but it kind of went by the wayside and everyone still said (says) that Hasbro used creative license.

The proof is up there in the pudding though.  :)  WEG had him pegged that way long ago, even to the space suit.

Post by: R5Don4 on February 12, 2011, 09:20 AM
That's cool, but not surprising.  WEG made up a good chunk of EU that was used for source material for the early 90's EU novels.  I'd bet they even made up the name Hem Dazon and word Arcona too.

Personally the thing I love the most about the WEG run over WotC  is the OT did not have to give up any ground to the Prequels because it didn't exist yet!!  All OT all the time.  And the sparingly distributed EU is also great.

You are right Jesse, Wizards seemed to have followed the WEG's even more than Kenner.  For some odd reason they never made an AT-ST Driver, not even one out of the 800+, quite odd.

Jesse is it possible WEG/Grenadier chose the scale to be compatible with the old Kenner Micro Collection?  I found this comparison photo looking for painted WEG photos.

I also found these (shot on the blue foam they come in!):

On a side note, I've been studying these photos of WEGs looking for references when I've in fact owned a handful for years and didn't even know it- in my Star Wars Monopoly!   You'd think that would've been mentioned somewhere that they used WEGs for the tokens, and I thought they made them special.
