WOTC Star Wars Miniatures

[Morgbug]

Ok, here's my picture splurge for the daytime.  I uploaded these last night (and man, is photobucket slow )  As always, I cannot get pb to rotate pics, so if they're sideways, sorry.

AT-ST


BARC Speeder


Bantha with Tusken Raider




AT-AT


Episode I crap


Obi-Wan and Boga


Rancor


Nice stuff.  There were some new single figures out too, but since I don't collect these I didn't know what was new or not.  Colman made me take pics of these but I didn't get forced to do the same for the singles.

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,

DBK

Pretty sure the AT-AT is scheduled for November

To all,

I almost forgot.  I came across this site 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

Lots of characters and troops.

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

enjoy.

And, we miss yah over at wotc JediMAC!!

And, we miss yah over at wotc JediMAC!!

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.

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. 

[Jesse James]

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.

Adam,

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.
