I'd really like to collect all the stormtroopers and BobaFett, but then I realized I have absolutely no use for them. So why bother. I'll just put that money into D&D.
Star Wars Minatures: Who's Buying?
- Thread starter Swiftbrook
- Start date
I picked up a starter and 1 booster at my FLGS yesterday. My "Rare" in the booster was the Emporer (Actually an Ultra Rare), so for the fisrt game I had 3 minis to get my 100 point group. Darth Vader, Emporer and Storm Trooper to open the doors. 
I have been playing D&D Skirmish for about 3 months as well. The SW minis look as good or better than the one from Giants of LEgend, and will hopefully get better as more sets come out.
I picked up a second booster later in the day and pulled the Stormtrooper on Speeder Bike as my Ultra Rare, yeah me.
So with 23 minis, I have multiple options for putting together an Imperial group and 1 using Rebel with a large # of Fringe to support it. Which works for me as I know I'll end up with more at some point.
Overall I would say they are good and the game seems like a good adaption from the D&D skirmish rules.

I'll wait and see what figures are available first. Doubt I'll buy it for a miniatures game but will almost certainly get some of the figures for use with the RPG.
will probably wait and get the specific figures I want from off EBAY in all honesty though as I did with the D&D ones. The Mystique of not knowing what your getting is great if your 10, but when your 31 and running a game that needs specifics you tend to need to know what your getting

They have a fig gallery on the WOTC SW mini site. I have a couple more questions:
1. I know the starters come with Luke and Vader, but do you get other rares in the starter?.
2. How many figs in a starter/ booster?
3. If you get an Ultra rare in a booster, do you also get a rare in same booster?

1. No, just the same Luke & Vader figs.KenM said:
2. Starter: 10. Booster: 7.
3. The Super rare takes the place of the normal rare.
wait & see for me
I would buy it & try it, especially if it would encourage my SW RPG GM to run the game again. On balance, I have little other use for the minis since I would want an all-Jedi campaign if I had my druthers as a player or GM. The figs in this set look cool, but are obviously specific to the Rebellion Era.
