SW d20 Miniatures

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

So, my group is starting up a new d20 SW campaign, and we're looking at buying, as a group, a case or so of d20 StarWars miniatures.

So, I turn to the collective wisdom of ENWorld, and I ask:

Where's the best place on the web to buy them?

We know a couple sites, but I know that I've seen at least one thread in the past on the best places to get excellent deals - though I think that one was specifically for D&D minis, and not SW minis.

Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance!

I have a bunch of the original WotC Star Wars miniatures (the pewter ones) I'd be happy to part with.

Popular Collections is another good site.

I just started a d20 SW campaign myself, and picked up 50+ miniatures for ~35 on ebay. Mostly mooks, but that's what I needed, and a couple that my players picked out to represent them.

Frankly, the 'collectible' nature works in your favor when you are picking up minis for RPGs. You always need more rank-and-file storm troopers, battledroids, etc., than Obi Wan Kenobi's and Darth Vader's.

The only time you'll really get boned is if you feel you have to have the ultra-rares. The droideka's are nice, for example, but I don't need them that badly.

I was a little disappointed with the quality, but for the price I shouldn't be too surprised. I have a ton of metal fantasy miniatures, so I'd not seen any of the new WotC stuff till now.

Thanks for the input and links, everyone!

Rodrigo, I'll recommend ebay to my group, as well.

Remember, too, that even if you get a common mook figure, it is easily customized with a quick re-paint. Fortunately, the 'look' of SW is pretty distinctive (weapons, races, etc.), so a color change and highlighting will make the characters stand out even if the GM uses the same mook figures for the opposition.

do have any of the older micro machines? especially the ones that had little mini's with them ... glued to a penny they're not that bad (except for being 1/2 ling or gnome sized ... there's on of luke dressed in black ... makes a perfect 1/2ling monk mini).

and if you're really old you might have a bunch of the SW micro collection stuff (but they're at my mom's so I couldn't tell you what the size difference is.
