| Star Wars Miniatures | The Star Wars Miniatures collection offers a great board game that doesn't require too much time or space to play. The miniatures are also exactly the right size for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which I would highly recommend. The old roleplaying system was made by West End Games, which I haven't tried.

Product Description
The Star Wars Miniatures Game Starter Set contains everything needed for two players to play exciting, head-to-head Star Wars battles right out of the box, including a fold-out battle map, a rulebook, and six non-randomized, pre-painted plastic miniatures (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Rebel Captain, Rebel Heavy Trooper, Elite Stormtrooper, and Heavy Stormtrooper).

 An inexpensive way for new players to try the game (and experienced players will at least know what they are getting up front) July 24, 2007
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
Even though all of the figures and maps in this starter set have been previously released in other sets, I still feel compelled to give it four stars for the following reasons. First, you know exactly what six figures you are getting (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rebel Captain, Rebel Heavy Trooper, Darth Vader, Elite Stormtrooper, and Heavy Stormtrooper). And, while I would rather have had some new figures to play with, I very much appreciate the fact that you know exactly what you are getting up front. Further, if you happen to need one or more of these figures/maps, it's definitely worth buying this starter. Second, the Obi-Wan Kenobi figure was originally a very rare figure from the Rebel Storm set, and the Darth Vader figure was originally a very rare figure from the Revenge of the Sith set. Thus, until now these figures were harder to get and therefore fairly expensive. But, now you can get them both for one low price. Third, though one side of the map was previously released in the Revenge of the Sith Ultimate Missions book (the "Chancellor's Starship/Thrown Room Map" map), the other one was previously released only as a promo (the "Korriban - Valley of the Dark Lords" map). So while previously available, most people will likely not have one or both of these maps. Finally, the set includes a D20, latest rule book, and force/damage counters, so if this is the very first Star Wars minis item you are purchasing, you will still be able to have a fairly fun game right out of the box.
In sum, if you already have the figures and maps listed above, you will not need to buy this starter set. But, if you don't already have these figures or maps, it's definitely a very good buy for the price. Further, if you are new to the game and just want to give it a try, this is a very inexpensive and reasonable way to do so.

Best Characters by Faction
The following are my opinions on which characters are the best in each faction. I'm sure everyone will find something in here they disagree with or something they think I left out. But I think this list is a good starting point.

Best maps for...
...3 and 4 players.
In my group we frequently play 3-way and 4-way battles just to get more games in the time we have. Some maps are just downright awful for 3 players while others it is more about who gets to pick side last that gets the squeeze. Just wondering if anyone has put some thought...

The meaning of "Meta"
This is one of the terms that gets thrown around on these boards without any definitive meaning. In its most common use, there are even different types of "metas" (local, national, competitive, event, etc). So here are a couple of posts that help to explain the difference and show how the meta...

What if they did special collector paint it yourself kits?
Not suggesting any change in the current lines here, but it was mentioned elsewhere by Insaniak that it would be cool to see resin or pewter one-offs. as in miniatures that you put together and paint yourself.
I reckon it would be very cool to see some of the all time great star wars miniatures...

Abbreviations and Common Terms?
Perhaps there's already a thread for this, but there are a few terms and abbreviations floating around here that I don't know what they mean. For instance, what is MTB? What constitutes a "cannon" or a "speedy cannon"? "Super Stealth"?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
